Introduction

Welcome to the December 2005 edition of my monthly newsletter. December has now arrived and Christmas is looming. I wanted this newsletter to cover the kinds of ailments commonly experienced at this time of year. For those of you who are new to these newsletters, I cover a different health issue each month, advising on homeopathic remedies and supplements that might help you treat or avoid these.

If there is any specific subject you would like me to cover please e-mail me and I will try and do so in one of my future newsletters.

Cold Sores / Herpes on the lips

When we get very tired and run down some of us experience cold sores. These can range from just one to a painful mouthful of blisters. The best supplement to stop these from developing, or treat them quickly and effectively, is Lysine with vitamin C. If you catch the cold sore early enough by taking Lysine when the tingling sensation starts, you can prevent the cold sore from forming a blister.

I suggest 6 Metabolics lysine tablets daily (3 x 2), with 2 x 500mg Vit C at the outset, reducing to 3 lysine (+ 2 x 500gr Vit C) daily once the outbreak is under control and the cold sores receding. If you are sensitive to Vitamin C try the buffered vitamin C by Metabolics. You may want to take a good multivitamin as cold sores are a sign that your immune system is low, such as Metabolics Multivitamin once daily.

Hangovers

We all start off with good intentions, but sometimes we get carried away with the fun of the moment, and overindulge in alcohol at those festive moments! The best way of avoiding hangovers is to ensure you drink water during the evening, or before you go to bed, as part of the hangover is due to the dehydrating effects of alcohol, and vitamin C, and to take Alclear (Metabolics) 1 capsule before consuming alcohol, 1 capsule before going to bed for every unit of alcohol consumed (i.e. for every pint of beer or glass of wine).

If you can’t get hold of Alclear, then try milkthistle instead in the same quantities. The homeopathic remedy par excellence for hangovers, also good to take before and after drinking too much, is nux vomica. I suggest 30C potency, and if your head is throbbing the next morning, then take 3-4 throughout the day, with plenty of water and vitamin C.

Indigestion

Nux Vomica is great for this, again 30 C potency up to several times a day.

Getting Wound Up by Relatives!

Christmas is a time when many families meet, that involves seeing those you like and those you don’t tolerate so well sometimes. If there is a person who winds you up consistently and makes you angry, I suggest you take some nux vomica before you see them, and keep sucking on those pills to keep you cool! Nux vomica has explosive anger in its picture, and just downing one or two pills before you meet someone provocative can avoid explosions!

Exhaustion

Exhaustion is common around this time of the year, especially if you have not managed to have any breaks since the summer (or longer). If you are dragging your way through each day I recommend taking several grams of Vitamin C if you can tolerate this. The adrenals are strengthened by Vitamin C, and if you are tired you can safely take up to 3 – 4 grams daily. I suggest either Metabolics buffered C or Biocare Vitamin C 1000mg with Bilberry. If you are stressed remember vitamin B complex (Metabolics) helps you to recover. Also certain herbs help your energy to pick up such as Borage, Licorice, and Siberian Ginseng. I usually offer a combination of all three.

You can buy individual 30ml bottles from Metabolics. Nutri also offer a great Adrenal Extra combination if you are feeling really wiped out, I suggest 3 – 4 pills mornings. And take ProGreens Powder by Nutri-Link - a powder superfood providing broad-spectrum nutritional support from organic grasses and natural food factors, with active Probiotics, fibers and a variety of nutrient rich superfoods. This is great when you are run down.
