Natural Cold and Flu Protocols- First Symptoms

This lesson introduces some natural alternatives to traditional cold and flu remedies, once you have started feeling the first symptoms. Kaya recommends starting these protocols within 12-24 hours of first symptoms, during what she calls the "Not feeling so hot, but don't know what you've got" stage. This helps enable the body to quickly heal itself. She suggests Oscillo, Chinese herbs, and Flumax Pro or Gripia Pro in what are known as therapeutic doses (larger doses than would normally be taken for just support). In addition, Kaya walks you through her recommended general immune support protocol, including immunoglobins, pro-biotics, vitamin C, and a sinus rinse (or neti pot). Finally, Kaya discusses the mistakes we often make when we get sick, including not starting the remedies quickly enough, not taking therapeutic doses, not getting enough rest, and consuming dairy and wheat, which can cause more mucus and inflammation.

Kaya has been a consulting homeopath at The People's Pharmacy in Austin, Texas for 5 years. She is certified in clinical homeopathy, and trained in Chinese tonic herbs and functional medicine (which includes the use of isolated nutrients, like vitamins, minerals, and amino acids).

Very important: Do not let cold season get you down. Netti pots are the best piece of advice I could share with you and if you want to learn how to use one please watch one of my videos. I demonstrate this in every video because it is so important to me. Stay healthy and happy this season!

I’m not a big fan of pills and chemicals to get my body on track. In fact, I take a natural route when keeping my body in shape and healthy so as to avoid sicknesses. This lesson in preventative healthcare took me to the next level of detecting and preventing increased levels of attacks on my immune system. So I win two fold: first with not getting sick and second by not having to waste cash on a doctor except when absolutely needed.
