TREATING THE COMMON COLD

Treating a cold aggressively in it's early stages will often help our body to eradicate the viral infection in a day or two.  Important points to consider are:

  1. Treat the cold as soon as you feel symptoms
  2. Use high quality supplements
  3. Dose aggressively
  4. Drink plenty of water to aid in detoxification
  5. Get plenty of sleep and rest to provide your body with the energy it needs to fight the cold.

Dr. Armentano often prescribes the following protocol to patients with a common cold or flu during the symptomatic stage to increase their immune function.  The doses listed are for adults.  Children should be dosed based on their weight.  A child weighing 50 to 100 pounds should take half the listed dose.  A child below 50 pounds should take one quarter the listed dose.

  • Dr. Armentano's Immune Tonic: 1/2 teaspoon every 3 hours
  • Vitamin C (preferably with bioflavonoids): 500 mg every 3 hours
  • Zinc citrate: 25-50mg per day
  • Vitamin A: 10,000 iu per day
 

For ongoing immune support Dr. Armentano recommends using any of the following products:

  • Dr. Armentano's Immune Tonic: 1/2 teaspoon three times per day
  • Dr. Armentano's Stress Formula: 1/2 teaspoon three times per day
  • Vitamin C (preferably with bioflavonoids): 500 mg three times per day
  • Zinc citrate: 25-50mg per day
  • Vitamin D: 800-2000 iu per day

Dr. Armentano uses safe and effective natural therapies without the use of drugs and surgery.  Patients can expect to have an evaluation of their health blocks and stresses, including allergy and hypersensitivity testing.  Some examples of modalities used are herbal medicine, nutritional advice, homeopathy, and other bioenergetic therapies.   This approach allows the body to heal itself naturally from  disease, illness, pain, and stress resulting in a higher state of health and wellness.  Dr. Armentano treats all health conditions in all age groups.  If you would like to arrange for an office consultation to discuss your specific health concerns, please call Dr. Armentano at 203-637-8464 or email him at drarmentano@att.net.
