In the near future, waiting for the surge of flu. The flu last week fell asleep. According to the Director of the Centre for influenza Alexander Grinevitch, the incidence rate in Ukraine was lower by 4, 5% than in the first week of January. But vigilance is impossible. "In the near future, waiting for the surge of flu due to cold and due to the fact that Europe and Russia are now a lot grippaldi. But Ukrainians often go there". In anticipation of the next outbreak of flu, we decided to investigate which of the popular methods of dealing with it effectively. This helped us chief immunologist Kiev Oleg Nazar and TB specialist Inna Klimenko.
1. Take a loading dose "soluble tea against colds"
Expert commentary: "These drinks are really well off the main symptoms of SARS: the temperature (because they contain paracetamol), runny nose (due to phenylephrine), pain and aching joints (due to the presence of feniramina), but to the virus all of these substances have no relation. Moreover, they can "drive" the disease even deeper, because the body is under their influence stops himself to fight the virus. And it is fraught with complications. In addition, all of the ingredients in this tea have their own adverse reactions and, after drinking more than 3-4 bags of this tea, you may get a solid bouquet: allergies, upset stomach, increased blood pressure, urine and so on".
2. A glass of vodka with pepper - and in bed!
Expert commentary: "This is only a partial solution. At the beginning of the disease alcoholic drinks can really help, expanding blood vessels, which in turn activates the blood circulation and the body's defenses. Hot peppers also improves circulation, plus provides the body with a loading dose of vitamin C. Health for some time is really improving. However, if the flu or SARS has developed, then no pepper vodka will not help".
3. Soar legs, put the mustard and make inhalations
Commentary: "In the first days of the disease the body is actively fighting the virus, increasing the temperature. As we begin to cast out disease ferry, forgetting that all thermal manipulations should be carried out at normal temperature. As a consequence, the resulting high temperature, which is difficult to capture. But when the fever is gone, these measures are very effective. As they improve blood circulation, and stimulates all metabolic processes, and toxins faster derived".
4. Eat garlic and onions plain with honey
Expert commentary: "Garlic and onions are rich in volatile - volatile essential oils that have the property quickly to neutralize viruses. In addition, they contain vitamins and minerals that strengthen the immune system. So this recipe can be very effective in fighting the virus. The effect will increase if you garlic or onions mixed with lard: it is an adjuvant, i.e., a stimulator of immunity".
5. Drink "buckets" tea with lemon or eat lemon oil
(for its preparation you need to grind in a meat grinder 2 lemon (with peel) and mix with a wad of butter).
Expert commentary: "Lemon is not a cure for the flu or cold, but due to the content in its composition of vitamin C improves the immune system, strengthening the powers of the body. So your body is at least more likely to carry disease. Of course, you can just drink tea and add a slice of lemon, thereby killing two birds with one stone: making the body the vitamins and preventing intoxication. But if a parallel resolves lemon oil, as stated in the recipe, you thus dezinficiruy the mucous membrane of the mouth and throat, ensure the prevention of angina and support local immunity".
6. Lean on raspberries-Kalin
Expert commentary: "Kalina contains a volatile, which kill bacteria and viruses, as well as ascorbic acid and vitamins. It relieves swelling and facilitates the discharge of phlegm. And raspberries contains salicylic acid - a natural analogue of aspirin, and thus effectively reduces the temperature and eliminates the headache and muscle pain. But it is important to use frozen berries instead of jam, because sweet is a great environment for bacteria to grow".
7. "Stop" antibiotics
Expert commentary: "Antibiotics are not effective against viruses. They work only on bacteria, so connect them need when developed complication is bacterial infection. And "nedas" antibiotics during the flu, you only reduce their defenses, as they destroy the microflora in the gut, which supports the immune system".
8. Drink tincture of Echinacea
Expert commentary: "Echinacea is a plant that has adaptogenic properties, meaning it helps to adapt to any change. Therefore, when the change has already happened (the virus attacked), she's not going to help. In addition, remember to take a tincture at night it is impossible, differently sleepless night you are guaranteed".
9. "Eat" Immunostimulants
Expert commentary: "Healthy people, the promoters of interferon are not needed, they can only do harm: may fail in the immune system and to cope with the cold or flu will be even more difficult. But not do without them, if the person has HIV. About it can speak any chronic disease, for example, often escalating herpes, chronic inflammation of the kidneys, bronchi and other".
10. Does
Expert commentary: "This is the worst mistake! The flu is dangerous by its complications (otitis media, bronchitis, and so on), and without supervision you can skip the beginning. In addition, transmit the virus on your feet is very dangerous. First, the first hours of the disease - the most unpredictable. Coming out of the house with a temperature of 37 °C, after a couple of hours may already be under 40. Secondly, being in the team, you infect others. And third, while the body fights the disease, he needs rest. Otherwise asthenic syndrome (prolonged fatigue and weakness after illness is provided to you. The best option of "doing nothing" is to stay home, rest up, do not forget about to drink plenty of water. And the special treatment of the flu don't really need".
