Cold and Flu Remedy

I posted this home remedy last year and here it is again cold and flu season. This is my personal remedy which works wonders for me. The ingredient can be purchased at any pharmacy and most grocery stores.

At the first signs of a cold, flu or even a cold sore or herpes outbreak take three – 500 mgs of L-Lysine with a tall glass of room temperature water then 1 – 500 mgs of L-Lysine every hour with a tall glass of room termperature water for one day. If there are any remaining symptoms the following day, repeat regime for one more day. Do not let your feet touch the cold floor even to go to the bathroom. Wear slippers, keep those tootsies warm if you are getting sick.

NOTE: If you do not drink a minimum of 8 oz of water with each dose, it will not work. The water is as essential as is the l-lysine.

Years ago I had a cold sore coming on and a pharmacist recommended this regime and it stopped the cold sore in its tracks. I later found out that flu and colds were in the same family of viruses as cold sores. I haven’t had a cold or flu since I began taking this at the onset of any symptoms.

I’m not making any promises, just sharing what has worked so well for me, my family and friends.

L-Lysine is an Amino Acid  and can be purchased at any drugstore and most grocery stores in the vitamins and supplements section.

NOTE: I am not a medical doctor and do not intend to prescribe a treatment for you. I am sharing my own personal experience. Check with your doctor or health practitioner before beginning taking any supplements. I do not know what the dosages might be appropriate for children.
