The "Cure" For The Common Cold - REVEALED!
​​​

supplements and food
If you are looking for something to take the edge off your cold, you have a boatload of options at your local drugstore. There is NyQuil, DayQuil – I’m just waiting for AfternoonQuil – and a gazillion other over-the-counters, anit-biotics, shots, and prescription meds.


Are they cures?


They stop symptoms for sure, but are they cures? No. And they often come with side-effects.


You’ve heard me say this before, doctors don’t cure patients; we either help or hinder the healing process. True healing is produced by the body.


To find a cure for the common cold, we must first ask different questions

What is a cold? A cold is a name we give to a set of symptoms – runny nose, red itchy eyes, mucous everywhere, etc.


So, a cold is not something you “catch.” A cold is something that your body creates. It is called Adaptive Physiology.


Your body is responding in a particular way to its environment, and we give it a name: cold.  In fact, your body is always responding to your environment as it is coming in contact with all sorts of malicious germs on a daily basis.


You’ve probably heard that everybody has cancerous cells in their body, right now, but in a healthy person, our body is locating them, annihilating them, and expelling them.


So, as far as daily health care goes, the problem is not what you “catch,” it is how well your body is processing stressors in its environment - it's about how healthy you are.


Suppression vs Stimulation

One health care philosophy focuses on suppressing symptoms, and the other on stimulating the body. For daily health care, we at Thrive fall into the stimulate-the-body camp.

Have you ever wondered why during cold season, some of your family will get sick and others won’t? Or, maybe you’ve notice that you avoid the “cold,” until you eat a bag of Oreos. Then, you tank.

The cure for the common cold is to have a fully-functioning body: immune system, liver, adrenals, digestive system, everything. Optimum health annihilates the common cold. That is why healthy people can go for years, decades even, without experiencing a “cold.”

So, my recommendation for the day: Focus on getting your body at optimum health, and you won’t have to worry about colds. I will go 2-3 years and not express cold systems.

Does this cut down on our health care costs – you bet. The cure for the common cold is a healthy you!
​

TAKEAWAY:  A Healthy YOU prevents a cold from ever happening.  The key to avoiding colds is to be the healthiest YOU possible.

Our offer to you:  If you'd like to come in, see one of our doctors to discuss how you can enjoy true health care, or how Chiropractic Care or Functional Medicine might support your body, then you can do so by claiming our $19 new patient special.  Simply select the location you want to visit, give us a call, and we'll look forward to meeting you!
