Guest guest Posted October 16, 2004 Report Share Posted October 16, 2004 I got a book today called Earl Mindell's New Vitamin Bible. I wanted to share with you what is says about colds (since I know that a few of you are probably dealing that). It says to start out with a good all natural multi vitamin and glycinated mineral complex with digestive enzymes for better absorption. Rose Hips vitamin C 1,000mg 3-6 times daily for 3 days Beta-carotene 10,000 IU 1-3times daily (take for 5 days and stop for 2) Water 6-8 glasses daily 3 acidophilus capsules 3 times a day or 1-2tbsp liquid 3 times daily Zinc Lozenge (let dissolve in mouth) 3-4 times daily Echinacea, American feverfew and elderberry extract 1 dropper every 3-4 hours as needed. It is suggested in avoiding refined carbohydrates, caffeine, alcohol and foods containing artificial flavors, colors or additives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 16, 2004 Report Share Posted October 16, 2004 Zinc lozenges have literally changed my life. I used to get horrible sinus infections with every cold I got, and never a sniffle, always a full blown horrible virus that put me in bed for five days. Now I suck on zinc at the first sign of a cold, and bingo, no sinus infections, less sick for shorter period. I'm a zealot about the stuff. But be careful about dosage. I've tried other brands (Cold Ease is what I swear by) and they haven't been as strong. > > I got a book today called Earl Mindell's New Vitamin Bible.

Guest guest Posted October 16, 2004 Report Share Posted October 16, 2004 Is that safe to give to a child? My daughter is down with a cold and we are having to use some over the counter products to help with the cough and to clear out the chest congestion. melmeighen <melmeighen@...> wrote: Zinc lozenges have literally changed my life.

Guest guest Posted October 16, 2004 Report Share Posted October 16, 2004 I should mention that we are using this in addition to the Collidial Silver. <angela_s64063@...> wrote: Is that safe to give to a child?

Guest guest Posted October 17, 2004 Report Share Posted October 17, 2004 I just went to www.coldeeze.com (sorry, I spelled it wrong earlier) and see that there's a kids sucker of zinc and vitamin C. The only thing I couldn't find on the site is a list of those " other ingredients " like the one on my bag of the lozenges. I think there might be a throat spray, as well, so that might not have the artificials. (Or, it might have more and worse artificials!) Here's what's in the lozenges: 13.3 mg of ionic zinc from Zincum Gluconicum corn syrup, fruit extracts, gluconic acid, glycine and sucrose. NO ARTIFICIAL COLORS OR PRESERVATIVES. But if corn syrup is a problem... > > > > I got a book today called Earl Mindell's New Vitamin Bible.
