Laboratory tests show Sambucol® neutralises Common and Avian Flu Virus H5N1
Added: (Thu Jan 19 2006)
New research, carried out by Retroscreen Virology has indicated that
Sambucol®, a patented formula, may fight the virulent Avian Flu virus. Results have been presented yesterday, Wednesday, in a press conference held in the Royal Society of Medicine, London. Speakers included Prof. Hannoun, Emeritus Professor at the Pasteur Institute and Dr. Mumcuoglu, developer of Sambucol®.
Laboratory trials held in a leading research institute, Retroscreen Virology
Ltd, associated with the University of London found Sambucol® to be at least
99% effective against the Avian Flu virus H5N1. Sambucol® was effective at
significantly neutralising the infectivity of the virus in cell cultures. These
results will also be presented during the International Conference on Bird Flu:
“The First Pandemic of the 21st Century. A Central Role for Antivirals”, to be
held at St. Bartholomew’s Hospital on January 19th-20th 2006.
Dr. Madeleine Mumcuoglu, is looking into further investigations into the
activity of Sambucol® against Avian Flu on a wider scale.
In an earlier study (1995) Sambucol® was found to be effective against a wide range of influenza strains. Laboratory studies conducted at the Hebrew
University – Hadassah Medical School, Jerusalem demonstrated the activity
of Sambucol® against human, swine, and avian influenza strains.
Sambucol®'s efficacy was also demonstrated in two double blind, placebo
controlled clinical studies. Sambucol® was shown to cut the duration and
severity of the common flu by up to half.

Cold eeze..if you take at the onset of your symptoms it will reduce the duration and severity of your cold. I live by this stuff! You can get it at your local pharmacy. It's kinda expensive, but they usually have coupons in the box.
The best thing for a sore throat is to gargle warm salt water, works an absolute treat. also drink lots of water to flush out the cold.
hope thats helpful.
My favorite is the Theraflu caplets. They help a lot when your sinuses are all stuffed up and your face hurts. It's pretty much for all the symptoms. The only thing I suggest is not to take it on an empty stomach, I did once not on purpose and it made me a bit lightheaded. But that may be because of my size. Probably doesn't do the same to everyone.
try lemsip they come in sachets ,very helpul see the dosage..
take zinc - it accelerates recovery. Stay away from cold meds unless you have an abnormally high fever. Don't want to fry the brain of course. Cold meds interfere with the body's natural healing process by making the immune system sluggish.
Honey and vinegar mixed in a glass of warm water, my mom made me drink that stuff all the time when I ws a kid.yuck, bur it helps
