Clinicians Pepticol Spray
Yesterday we read a report on a news site in the United Kingdom about an emerging strain of bird flu which appears to be resistant to the antiviral medication, Tamiflu. In an attempt to avoid an epidemic becoming established the British government, which obviously views the threat as more than serious had stockpiled sufficient doses of Tamiflu to cover more than three quarters of the population. Similarly, other governments around the world have followed suit and have stored this medication.
Avian flu knowledge is limited and successful treatment protocols have yet to be fully developed. What we do know from past flu outbreaks are that certain groups are more at risk than others: The very young, the elderly, those with compromised immune systems and those in poor general health. Healthy individuals have had the virus, fallen sick and recovered completely while those with challenging health issues succumbed. The secret to surviving an infection of this nature is to have a healthy immune system that can cope with minor and serious challenges.
We have written before about supplements that support immunity including Clinicians Del-Immune, Good Health Viralex Max and Colostrum. Colostrum, the first milk expressed from mammalian creatures including humans is rich in components that offer support for the immune system. Scientists have been studying this and have found a class of chemicals in colostrum called Proline Rich Peptides or PRPs. PRPs help to modulate the immune system by signalling that the body needs to activate and mobilise macrophages, T-cells, cytokines and other immune components whenever the body is exposed to infection, bacterial, viral or otherwise.
PRPs also signal the immune system to rest and wait until the next challenge emerges. A rapid response by a healthy immune system means that invading organisms are quickly dealt with. PRPs are also able to signal an over active immune system that it must return to a balanced and optimal state. This is important in conditions where the immune system may be suffering over-stimulation as seen in allergic conditions.
PRPs are available in a spray formulation for quick absorbtion in the mouth. Clinicians Pepticol Spray , contains PRPs extracted from bovine colostrum.
