Can EFT be effective against the flu or common cold? Here's an account of one man's success in fending off a violent flu. This was posted on Gary Craig's EFT site, what I call The Mother Ship. You can type in just about any malady into the search bar and somebody, somewhere has tried EFT on the problem, often with good results.
Obviously I think EFT is the greatest thing since sliced bread. But here are some other important things I've been doing to reduce susceptibility to influenza (this is not intended as medical advice):
It's important to remember that the flu has only two access points to your body--your mouth and your nose. Clearly, hand washing, especially when we've been out in public, is a great defense. Also avoiding any habitual touching of the mouth or face.
If influenza is introduced into your mouth or sinuses, it takes about three days or so to establish itself sufficiently to make you sick. During this time you can wipe it out with warm saline water, gargling for the throat and using a neti-pot for the sinuses. Drinking hot tea also helps flush any germs down to the stomach where they are destroyed.
Another line of defense I've been using is an 'activated mushroom complex'. This seems to be the cutting edge of building one's immune system. I'm taking Host Defense made by Newchapter Organics, but I'm sure there are many other great brands out there. These aren't cheap, but then neither is getting sick! I take these along with the usual: Vitamin C and D, garlic capsules and occasional B vitamins--not on a regular basis, but whenever I'm feeling 'at risk'.
Finally, I use Zand Throat Spray whenever I feel the least bit of a scratchy throat. It's not too nasty, but you can tell it's powerful.
I hope that you sail through the cold and flu season in great health, and practice EFT to keep your spirits high.
