How We Manage the Flu (and Colds and Bronchitis)
There is a huge push for widespread public vaccination with the flu vaccine. Natural medicine is extremely well equipped to help patients prevent getting the flu, and to treat it effectively once symptoms occur.
Prevention: Wash your hands frequently, especially after going to public places such as stores and gyms. Keep your hands and fingers away from your mouth, nose and eyes. Get plenty of rest. Dress appropriately for the weather and avoid getting chilled. Don’t let stress build up in your life. Take 2 to 3000mg of Vitamin C, two garlic, and two acidophilus every day prophylactically during the flu season.
Treatment: At the very first sign of any symptoms begin taking Stimmune 1 or 2 caps three times daily. Increase Vitamin C to 4000mg per day.
Add 3 bottles of 3% hydrogen peroxide to a bathtub full of water and bathe several times daily for an at-home oxidative treatment.
When it is clear that symptoms are establishing themselves, make an immediate appointment (we will see you that same day) to see one of the physicians here at Caring Medical. Once we have determined that you have the flu, and not something else, we will recommend an intravenous oxidative therapy like hydrogen peroxide or ozone alone, or in combination with photoluminescence of your blood. This involves exposing your blood to ultraviolet rays. This treatment is completely safe, and extremely effective. Usually improvement will be noticeable within 24 hours, and you may be completely well within 1 to 3 days after a single treatment!

Antibiotics are rarely helpful. A typical recent example was of a young lady with the flu who came in with chills, body aches, laryngitis, low grade temperature, runny nose, brain fog, and cough. Eighteen (18) hours after a photoluminescence treatment her body aches, brain fog, and laryngitis were gone. By 42 hours, all symptoms had cleared. Photox treatment (a combination of oxygen and photoluminescence) is the most powerful infection stopping therapy known to man. And it supercharges your immune system and rids your body of the infection in the best possible way…naturally.
The Natural Medicine Approach to Candidiasis
Candidiasis, often called candida or a yeast infection, is so common that the medications prescribed by traditional medical practitioners are advertised regularly on primetime television. Although women commonly get these infections in the vaginal area, the drugs prescribed to "take care of" them do nothing to root out the problem at its source in the digestive tract. In fact, any woman with a history of even one yeast infection that was treated with a topical cream rather than a natural remedy or medication most likely still has the fungal infection in her body. And, surprise, contrary to popular opinion, men can be full of fungus, too.
Many of today’s doctors do not recognize a fungal infection like candida because the condition can mimic a lot of different syndromes and conditions. Candida symptoms can include chronic fatigue, body aches, headaches, allergies, loss of balance, sugar cravings, poor memory and depression. One major problem with the failure to correctly diagnose fungal infections is that many doctors will prescribe over-the-counter pain medications to alleviate the symptoms, but these drugs only exacerbate the problem, and can lead to leaky gut syndrome.
Over time, these common pain medications cause inflammation in the intestinal wall, allowing ingested food particles to enter the blood stream and putting the body’s immune response mechanisms into hyperdrive. Between the body using up its energy to fight the yeast and the food particles ingested, the person becomes exhausted and can develop chronic flu-like symptoms.
How Candidiasis Is Identified
If you think you have candida, natural medicine specialists will perform both a blood and a stool test. If the tests are negative but the symptoms are still present, you may be tested for a mold allergy or another type of fungal infection. Natural medicine specialists can test for more than 20 different types of fungal infections using a Fungal IGG test. A PCR test, which checks for the presence of infectious organisms in the blood, can also be used to test for candida.
It’s important to note that many people who are diagnosed with candida also have a triad of other conditions, called Syndrome H. These conditions include hypoglycemia, hypoadrenal function and hypoimmunity (low immune system function).How Candidiasis Can Be Treated Naturally
Because yeast infections derive from ingested substances, we know they take root in the intestines. The yeast burrows through the intestinal wall and into the blood stream (another form of leaky gut syndrome), which is how the infection is able to manifest in other mucus membranes in the body.
Since candida feeds on sugar and simple carbohydrates, people with this condition often have very strong cravings for sugar and carbohydrates. The first step to eliminating candida is to limit the "food source" for the fungus (i.e. cutting back significantly on sugars and carbohydrates in the diet).
In order to cure candida completely, it needs to be treated in the digestive tract. This can be done with natural supplements (see box below) and medications such as Nistatin and Diflucan. For resistant cases, Photoluminescence and Ozone Therapy may be the most effective treatments. These treatments involve withdrawing blood that is either subjected to ultraviolet light or mixed with ozone gas. Then, the "photolumed" or "ozonated" blood is transfused back to the patient. In very severe cases, a natural medicine specialist may recommend administering a candida vaccine.
