| What is the common cold? We are all very familiar with the common cold. Science has found many cures for major illnesses, but still has not figured out how to prevent and cure the common cold all natural. The common cold is a mild viral infection affecting the throat, nose and sinuses. A cold is highly contagious and is easily spread from person to person by breathing the spray of droplets after someone sneezes within a 2-6 yard radius! A cold can also cause 'a runny nose', watery mucus persistently discharging from the nose.
How can I prevent getting frequent colds?
If you experience the common cold so frequently to the point that it seems to continually weaken your immune system, you will need to try to stay away from group gatherings or places where many people accumulate such as shopping malls, sports gatherings, any type of place where people stay in the same room for extended periods of time such as class rooms, meetings, conferences, churches.
Hopefully your situation is not as severe as mentioned above. To help prevent getting colds, it is advisable to take a multi vitamin, vitamin C, eat a healthy balanced diet including lots of raw vegetables, salads, fruits, nuts, grains, light meats such as fish including salmon, tilapia, mahi mahi, chicken, turkey. A visit to your local health food store can also be encouraging. Learn about foods you've never tried before such as vegetarian burgers for greater variety. Your daily liquid intake of about 2-4 quarts can include water, green tea, peppermint tea and chamomile tea.
Natural Treatment for the common cold?
Manuka Honey is a natural cold remedy from New Zealand. Manuka Honey seems to help prevent getting colds when taken on a regular basis. For cold prevention, take 1 teaspoon of manuka honey first thing in the morning. Let the honey melt in the mouth first, then slip on down the throat to coat and sooth the throat.
Manuka Honey has been researched by Dr. Molan of the Waikato University, New Zealand for over 20 years. Dr. Molan has found that Manuka Honey seems to naturally destroy staph aureus and streptococcus, bacteria typically present in the common colds affecting throat, nose and sinus area. All natural, anti-bacterial Manuka Honey can help prevent colds as well as provide cold relief.
At the very first sign of a sore, dry, scratchy throat, take 1 teaspoon of manuka honey by itself and let is melt in the mouth and then swallow. Take 4-6 teaspoons the very first day, as you feel you need it. For diabetics, please consult your doctor first, as to how much manuka honey you can half to help strengthen the immune system or to take manuka honey when you feel a cold coming on.
There is one interesting fact: manuka honey seems to only minimally elevate blood sugar levels. Just 2 hours after manuka honey consumption, blood sugar levels seem to be almost back at normal rates. To confirm this observation, more research needs to be done to find out the correct doses for diabetics.
Manuka Honey is also very soothing when taken in warm tea. If you add manuka honey into very hot tea water, you will destroy the enzymes in the honey. The enzymes destroy bacteria all natural.

Customer Testimony" How Active Manuka Honey helped with Throat Congestion:
"I have had throat congestion for years and could not find a cure. The Ear/Nose/Throat doctor said it is allergies, and the allergists said it is bacterial infection. One day, I tried Active Manuka Honey and it cleared my throat right up. Now all my relatives have at least a jar of manuka honey in their house. This honey is great for dry winter weather. I like to take a spoon full of honey with hot water, lemon and ginger slices." Y.W. Lisle, IL

'The Manuka Honey Encounter'
"We encountered Manuka Honey when my daughters were traveling in New Zealand. My youngest daughter had sinusitis and sore throat and felt generally lousy. The girls stopped in on old friends of the family and she was offered hot water with lemon and Manuka Honey. The cure was nearly immediate and almost miraculous because she had chronic sinusitis. After they were home (having bought a jar of Manuka Honey) one daughter had bronchitis, went to the doctor and took a very expensive, broad spectrum antibiotic. She felt better in a few days, still coughing up lots of stuff. The next week, the youngest also caught bronchitis and I called the doctors office only to learn that they were booked solid for the next three days (lots of bronchitis and sinusitis going around). Unwilling to go to the emergency room of the hospital, we decided to try Manuka Honey in green tea. She felt better, then took a soaking bath with herbal additives, more Manuka Honey in tea and a long nap--she now is healthier than her sister who was treated a week earlier with prescriptive antibiotics!" G.W. California
"The Manuka Honey is great and works too!" S.D. Texas
Customer Testimony: How great Manuka Honey tastes!
I gave my Manuka Honey to my family to try, and here is what they said: "The honey is AMAZING. Wow, what a great treat. I put some Manuka Honey on crusty whole wheat and it was very tasty with and without butter! Yummy. Thank you very much." Cheers and sweets M.R. Sunnyvale, CA
