Is it a cold or is it the flu

How can you tell if you have a cold or flu? It can be very tricky. Both colds and influenzas can be caused by viruses. The chart from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) illustrates some of the differences. For all practical purposes, however, the treatment will be the same. Especially when symptoms begin it is most  effective to treat the situation with immediately Andrographis Complex.

When combined with the Congaplex, this usually resolves the cold or flu within 24 to 36 hours if the program is started at the initial onset of symptoms. In addition, getting adjusted can help boost your body’s ability to fight the cold or flu.

The medical approach to the flu is unreliable at best with the vaccine being ineffective up to 77% of the time.  In addition the duration and the severity of the flu is about the same, with and without medication.
