Early Signs of Cold or Flu Protocol

The key with this protocol is to start it at the first hint of a sore throat, sniffles or chills. The spray and lozenge format of the zinc and Biocidin act locally, working best by coating the site of a throat infection. Viracid backs this up with simultaneous systemic activity – a combination of antibacterial, antiviral and immune support. Vitamin D provides an important extra immune boost.

 

Take the following as needed every hour as soon as symptoms start for a max of 4 times per day, for 2 days. After that, drop down to taking these once per day for up to 2 weeks if support is still needed.
