What Causes Infection /Inflammation?
We live in a sea of germs, and everyone gets an infection at least once in a while. However, while most people can recover on their own from most infections, some people experience recurring infections that require antibiotic treatment. Infection occurs when a disease-causing germ, such as a bacteria, virus or fungus, invades the body. To become infected, you must first be exposured to the germ and have the ability to become infected (susceptibility).
What Can I Do About Infection /Inflammation?
The first line of defense against infection is located where the body has contact with the rest of the world is the skin as well as the membranes that line the respiratory system and digestive systems. Clearly, a cut on the hand is more likely to get infected than unbroken skin.
Many people do not realize how many things they can do before resorting to using an antibiotic to clear an infection. You can take 1,000 milligrams of olive leaf extract three times a day for three to seven days. Although probably not as effective as thymic hormone, olive leaf extract seems to be helpful against viral respiratory infections and, perhaps, yeast infections. It seems most helpful in fighting the common cold. It has been very helpful for about half the people who try it--the cold is gone in 24 to 36 hours. If it causes you nausea, cut the dosage in half.
Additional information
If you have year-round allergies to dust mites, pollen and mold, you may have some injury to your mucus membranes, which can, in turn, increase your susceptibility to infection. Once a germ has entered the body, your immune system springs into action. The most common infections are viral respiratory tract infections - the common cold. Many people confuse allergic rhinitis, or hay fever, which causes stuffiness, nasal itch and a runny nose that can last for weeks (more commonly overnight or when as long as high polen levels prevail), with a cold or sinus infection.
To be most effective, nutritional supplements work better in combination. It may be more beneficial to take a variety of Herbs or Nutrients for more rapid and complete healing...
