How is
ECHINILIN superior to other cold products?
Over-the-counter (OTC),
and other cold products are symptom-maskers, while the underlying
cause of the symptoms remain untreated.
If you have a head cold you can take an antihistamine to
reduce sinus congestion, a pain product for headache, still
another to sleep better, and so forth. However, the underlying
cause of the symptoms remains - the cold or flu virus.
In contrast, ECHINILIN
works at the therapeutic level, stimulating the immune system.
This enables the immune system to identify viruses sooner,
contain them quicker and eliminate them quicker. The result
is reduced symptoms and quicker recovery from the underlying
viral infection.
ECHINILIN
provides another advantage. OTC cold products come with
side-effects that can be serious. Some products make people
drowsy when they need to be alert, while the same products,
or other products, make people alert when they desperately
need sleep.
In addition, many people
are rightly concerned about the potential negative effects
that can come from symptom-masking, as is the case with
OTC cold products.
ECHINILIN
on the other hand, has none of these side effects. It enables
you to continue with your regular activities, or get back
to them quicker, because it works at the therapeutic1
level. It does not induce drowsiness nor does it make one
hyper-alert.
Antihistamines
Antihistamines are the
main defense for allergic reactions and this has led to
their use in the fight against cold symptoms. Since cold
related stuffy nose and congested head and chest is not
caused due to an increased histamine level in the body,
the use of antihistamines is almost purely for the placebo
effect with little real value to the cold sufferer.
Included into many cold
remedies, antihistamines are added to help suppress cough
and nasal congestion. While drying out the nasal passages
can help you to breathe more easily and suffer less discomfort,
antihistamines can adversely affect the central nervous
system by over stimulating or depressing it. This can cause
tremors, insomnia, irritability and drowsiness.
Cough
Suppressants
Cough Suppressants come
in a variety of chemical derivatives from opiates like codeine,
noscapine, hydrocodone, pholicodine to dextromethorphan.
These work on the cough centre of the medulla by depressing
the cough reflex.
Metabolized in the liver
and passed through urine, cough suppressants in some cases
can cause dizziness, depression of the central nervous system,
intoxication, vomiting, constipation or palpitations.
Cough
Syrups
Used mainly to activate
the salivation glands and increase the swallowing action,
cough syrups are comprised mostly of sugar and alcohol.
By coating the sensory receptors,
the cough reflex can be minimized. While soothing an irritated
throat offers a measure of temporary comfort, use of cough
syrups can result in intoxication, impaired motor ability
and osmotic diarrhoea.
Decongestants
The expanded and swollen
membranes in the nose and sinus passages are one of the
most prevalent and irritating symptoms of the common cold.
Decongestants help to alleviate
this breathing stress by forcing the fluid out causing a
restriction of the tissue and blood vessels. Chemically
related to adrenalin, decongestants can cause insomnia,
high blood pressure and palpitations. Relief is temporary,
lasting an average of 2-4 hours.
Nose
Sprays
Nose sprays offer almost
immediate relief from stuffy nose and blocked sinuses. As
the direct application is much stronger than oral decongestants,
continuous use of nose spray is strongly discouraged.
Perpetual drying of the nasal passages can lead to headaches,
nose bleeds and a "bounce-back" effect often resulting in
a worse congestion than the initial state. Relief found
from using these products is of short duration, with negative
symptoms returning within hours.
Expectorants
Often prescribed to people
with a dry cough, expectorants increase lung fluids and
stimulate the mucus membranes. Expectorants are generally
sold in combination with other symptom relievers.
Expectorants have been shown to cause nausea and vomiting
and affect an individual's general condition and state of
hydration.
Combination
Remedies
The cough and cold shelf
at any retail outlet contains a large proportion of combination
remedies. Surprisingly, ingredients that oppose each other
are often combined in one formula. Along with combinations
comes increased potential for unwelcome side effects.
