RESISTANCE TO DISEASE

Astragalus is a traditional Chinese herb, its root was found to increase resistance to disease by fortifying the immune system. For example, it increases the body's secretion of interferon, which fights viruses. According to Chinese studies, astragalus reduces susceptibility to colds and their duration.

Astragalus is sometimes used together with echinacea and ginseng, for use in degenerative conditions of ageing such as heart disease, cancer and arthritis. Since it is a diuretic, astragalus can be useful to reduce water retention. During the past decade, astragalus has been discovered by Western science, and is increasingly being incorporated into nutritional formulas sold in health food shops.

My own experience in curing illness, infection and viruses.

I am posting this blog not to promote my own blog but as information on my own experiences with regard to illness, disease, infections and viruses.
If you have been following my blog you may be aware of the confidence I have in high doses of vitamin c. The recommended dosage of vitamin c in the UK for a healthy adult is 60mg, which I regard as far too low. I usually take 500mg per day as a supplement to maintain good health, however if I feel unwell I will up this amount until I feel better.

Now I am not a doctor, so please seek advice before taking high doses of vitamin c. You may find the following story interesting.

Last Thursday I felt very tired and had just started with a sore throat I had already taken my daily dose of vitamin c (500mg), I then took another 1,000mg, however by lunch time I was feeling very hot, as if I had a temperature. I was feeling quite unwell so I took another 2,000mg of vitamin c and had to take to my bed. By the evening I took a further 2,000mg of vitamin c, and then went to bed again.

By the next morning I was feeling fine, no sore throat or temperature, and I was not feeling tired. This may have happened anyway, however it is not the first time this has happened,and my own opinion is that the high dosage of vitamin c is boosting my immune system and fights of the illness very quickly.
