SARS prevention and remedies
Regarding the new Asian virus (SARS), can you please publish some advice, if any, on prevention and the alternative remedies that could help?
When SARS first grabbed the headlines last November, US supplement-maker, Quality of Life, shipped hundreds of bottles of its ImmunoKinoko AHCC to the Hong Kong Ministry of Health to dispense. Clever PR? Of course, but the fact is, a healthy immune system should be able to fight off new as well as more established pathogens.
ImmunoKinoko contains a substance called Active Hexose Correlated Compound (AHCC); a Japanese medicinal mushroom extract derived from a manufacturing process that relies on the hybridisation of several species of immune-boosting mushrooms.
It is cultivated in Japan where, currently, over 700 hospitals and medical clinics recommend it to patients who need to bolster their immune system. You can learn more about AHCC by visiting www.ahccresearch.com. ImmunoKinoko costs £59.95 for 60 (500mg) capsules.
If you suspect your immune system is weakened – repeated infections such as coughs, colds and fungal infections are a sign of this – now is the time to start rebuilding it. It can take up to three months for the maximum health benefits of herbal remedies to really kick in so supporting your body’s natural defences now will help keep you well and protected throughout the coming winter.
