Yes, medical experts in America, Britain and China reveal that common zinc tablets, over-the-counter oscillococcinum, elderberry and other herbal treatments — even garlic! — can help beat the bug that’s triggered panic and chaos all over the planet.
While researchers race to develop a vaccine for the plague — which had killed 100 people in the United States as of March 17 — experts say simple items from the supermarket and pharmacy can bolster the immune system to overcome the disease in its early stages.
HERBAL AIDS
Mark Moshchinsky, an acupuncturist at New York City’s Tree of Life Acupuncture, tells GLOBE that during the 1918 Spanish flu pandemic — a horrifying plague that killed about 50 million — a terrifying 30 percent of victims treated with conventional medicine died.
But the death rate was slashed to just ONE PERCENT for those treated with a remedy from the plant gelsemium!
Herbs and garlic can “boost your immunity,” he explains and also advises drinking herbal teas to reduce the virus’ symptoms, such as coughing, fever and breathing difficulties.
