Experts agree that the sooner cold and flu symptoms are treated, the better chance there is for a quick recovery and minimum disruption of lifestyle. Yet people hesitate to take action at the crucial early stage for lots of reasons. Typically, they wait until they are “sick enough” to take medications made for the purpose of masking full-blown symptoms. The key, however, is to start with a medicine like Oscillococcinum® that nips symptoms in the bud.
Cold and flu sufferers may be reluctant to take action for several reasons. First, it’s difficult to tell where early symptoms will lead. They might start with orange juice or a nap, adding different treatments, step-by-step, as time passes if symptoms grow worse.
“I see it all the time,” says Robert Schiller, M.D., department chairman of Family Medicine, Beth Israel Medical Center, New York City. “Patients take great proactive steps like washing their hands frequently and taking a multivitamin. They don’t know what to do, though, when they start to get sick. They wait until their condition gets so bad that they can’t sleep at night or function during the day, so they have nothing to lose by taking something that will put them in a fog.”
The problem is that when cold and flu sufferers get to the point of taking a medication that will suppress symptoms until the body heals on its own, the action of suppressing symptoms is counterproductive to what the body is doing to help itself.
Instead of masking symptoms, Oscillococcinum is a homeopathic medicine that works with the body to help it re-balance and heal itself. Four clinical studies show that Oscillo® helps reduce both the severity and duration of flu-like symtpoms.1-4 In fact, when patients took Oscillo within 24 hours of the onset of symptoms, nearly 63 percent showed “clear improvement” or “complete resolution” within 48 hours, according to the latest study published in a British scientific journal.1 These results confirm results from previous studies.
“Patients have told me that they feel much better the next morning, even when they thought they would be bedridden the evening before. It’s the step to take after proactively trying to prevent illness with vitamins, but before it gets to the point where you think you need to mask symptoms with heavy duty medication,” says Dr. Schiller. “For years I’ve been telling my patients to keep Oscillococcinum on hand.”
Beyond not knowing what’s afflicting them or not feeling sick enough to act, cold and flu suffers hold off from treatment for other reasons. Some, like drivers, equipment operators, pilots and night workers, can’t take antihistamines or decongestions that can cause drowsiness. Others
just don’t like the thought of taking a medication or they don’t like to admit they’re vulnerable to winter ailments. Consequently, they might not be prepared to take quick action. The rise in sales of cough, cold and flu medications every season in conjunction with the rise of illness levels suggests that many folks purchase a treatment only at the height of their symptoms.
It’s best, though, to be prepared. With a 65-year safety record, no side effects such as drowsiness, and no interactions with other medications or supplements, there’s no reason to delay taking Oscillococcinum when feeling run-down, and have a headache, body aches, chills and fever. Oscillo’s sweet-tasting pellets dissolve quickly under the tongue without water. Each dose is packaged individually in a compact and portable plastic tube, making it convenient to take on the go and easy to keep handy in a purse, gym bag or desk.
In preparation for winter, consumers can conveniently pick up this non-prescription family medicine on shelves nationwide in drug stores, supermarkets, health food stores, and mass merchandisers in the cough, cold and flu section. The average retail price for the popular 6-dose is $11.99. Consumers can visit the new www.Oscillo.com Web site for a coupon or to find the nearest store that carries Oscillo.
