There are several natural ingredients that inhibit or kill viruses. Their effectiveness depends on a variety of factors including your individual body chemistry. Therefore, only some of these will work for your. My recommendation is to try them. But, don't assume that "more is better." These ingredients are considered to be safe and are all sold over-the-counter, but how they affect you is what is important. Never exceed the manufacturer's recommended dosage.

A couple rounds of testing found I had Mononucleosis, Epstein Barr Virus - the "Kissing Disease." Unfortunately, I wasn't mounting an effective response. Antivirals were not administered. Why? I don't know. But after four months and almost losing my job, I decided I had to do something. 'Something' turned out to be Olive Leaf Extract. After only 36 hours I could tell I was on the mend. In a week I was well. My MD was amazed and unmoved - just a coincidence he said. However, I'm convinced. I've started taking it at the first symptom of a cold.

This lets your immune system catch up with the virus. You experience fewer symptoms. After all, many of the symptoms of a cold are caused by your immune system! 500mg twice per day All the decaffeinated Green Tea you can drink. Sugar is OK in moderation.
