Head Cold/basic virus
Just getting a message from Halfhidden, I am prompted to ask just what is YOUR favourite cure? If it is off the shelf medicinal, do you know the risks you take? General Medical Advice is to take time, keep warm and avoid going out.
Myself, I prefer time and rest, with a glass of hot whisky & honey or brandy & honey.
LEMSIP
INGREDIENTS: Paracetamol, sodium lauryl sulphate, croscarmelose sodium, titanium dioxide (E171), quinoline yelow (E104), patent blue V (E131), erythrosin (E127), tartrazine (E102), phenylephrine hydrochloride, magnesium stearate, caffeine, aluminium hydroxide
Here is why I do not take Lemsip.
Taking paracetamol reduces the body's own internal strength to fight off any virus.
The sodium lauryl sulphate merely breaks down the capsule to be digested, BUT it is known to lodge in the heart tissue (and brain) - no one knows the actual effects of this yet in long terms.
Croscarmelose sodium, again assists the breakdown of the capsule, but it has been suggested to be a carcenogenic/teratogenic.
The Es. Here is a cocktail of colours, etc., effects are asthma and skin rashes, altered mind states, hyperactivity, sensitivity to light, learning difficulties, hyperthyroidism (it was proved to cause thryoid cancers in test rats), dermatitis and purpurea.
The nasal decongestant section is the phenylephrine hydrochloride. This vasoconstrictor can lead to high blood pressure, angina and arhythmia, affects the central nervous system causing restlessness.
Magnesium stearate, anti-caking. it is shown to affect kidney function and immune system. So it makes the body more susceptible again to another attack.
Aluminium hydroxide. basically a preservative and stabiliser. Leads to constipation, skin allergy, body loss of calcium and phosphorous (vital to the body), even shown to have links with Parkinson's and Alzheimer's.
These effects have been recorded officially since 2007.
