Influenza, or flu, can be effectively handled if given prompt attention.  For more in-depth discussion of this subject see influenza.

When the first symptoms manifest themselves, immediately take a tube dose of  Oscillococcinum 200K.Take another two tube doses of the same remedy at a distance of eight hours from one another.  Oscillococcinum 200K is the suitable remedy for all flu forms because it stimulates the individual defenses against the virus's attack.  It is often sufficient on its own to block influenza.

Additional homeopathic medicines can be used immediately in collaboration with Oscillococcinum 200K: one tube dose of Eupatorium perfoliatum 200CH which can be taken along with Belladonna 30 CH and Arsenicum album 30 CH in the case of fever or intense exhaustion.  Alternate doses of 3 granules of each, every hour if necessary, gradually reducing the amount to 6-7 times per day as the symptoms improve.

With regard to dietary supplements, you can use 3-4 grams of vitamin C to be distributed throughout the day for 2-3 days.  It can be effectively associated with a mineral mixture like that which is contained in Oximix 1 (DRIATEC).  This supplement is to be taken in the form of 2-3 measures per day.  You can also take a mineral mix based on copper, silver and gold following the same procedures.

For flu prevention strategies, take a look at the pages of our website dedicated to this subject.  Remember that recurring flu forms are caused by a reduction in the efficiency of the immune system.  In recent years, an examination for possible food intolerances has proven to be a powerful ally against this form of illness.
