An Herbalist's Perspective on Cold & Flu Video

In this video:

-The nature of viral life forms

-Plants are more effective at treating infectious diseases than technological medicine, which is failing on a massive scale (increasing antibiotic resistance, high failure rates of the flu vaccine, etc - meanwhile plants have been evolving antimicrobial compounds for millennia to fight off the same infections that affect humans) 

-STAY HOME IF YOU ARE SICK: you are basically a weaponized human when you have a viral infection

-Other ways to prevent the spread of viral infections

-Should you eat when you're sick? It depends.

-Suppressing symptoms IS NOT treating the underlying infection

-Why you should almost never suppress a fever- fever's have an important infection-fighting purpose and suppressing them is counter-productive to getting better

-Antibiotics do not treat viral infections and will not treat a flu (but that won't stop the doctor from writing you a prescription)

- The difference between immune-boosting compounds and antiviral or antibacterial compounds

-Commonly misused herbal treatments for cold & flu (ginger, echinacea, citrus)

-Craving sugar at the onset of illness

-Always be prepared: the three things I ALWAYS have on hand in case someone in my family gets sick, and why taking medicine at the very beginning of an illness is vital

-Why breastfeeding is so important for childrens' immunity

-The next pandemic
