Common Cold
The common cold is an infection of the upper respiratory tract caused by a filterable virus and is defined as acute nasal catarrh or acute rhinitis. The cold usually commences with a running nose,sneezing, watering of eyes, chills, headache, body pain and when accompanied with cough, fever and muscular pains, which may turn to flu. The cold viruses enter through the nose either directly or via rubbing the eyes. Virus infected fingers in the nose or eyes readily transplant infectious agents. The virus is present in the infected person’s nasal discharge or in his sneeze or cough. Handkerchief, pencils, staircase railings, telephone receives, hand shaking and so on get contaminated with the shedder’s virus-laden mucus. Thus, others who come in contact with these droppings get the gift of infection. It only makes common sense that allergens such as dust, fumes, chemicals, drugs, cosmetics, perfumes, varnish, paints, smoke, pollution etc. be eliminated, but if the body is not strengthened, the individual will become allergic to other agents.

Natural living habits are the best guarantee for good health and of course, freedom from cold.Every time the cold is suppressed unnaturally like with medicines it inevitably leads to serious illness. If we suppress this, where does the accumulated harmful material ( which is being expelled ) go ? Obviously it will be driven into glands, muscles, joints and organs or retained in the body to play havoc again. So it is entirely justifiable to say that safety valves should not be closed or blocked by suppressing cold.
The prevention and cure is simple living based on Natural laws as explained below :
