Kids' Cough & Cold Syrups Are Dangerous!

Unless you've lived in a cave for the last month, you would've heard the big news about cold and cough syrups for kids.

These drugs give rise to side effects such as convulsions, rapid heart rates and even deaths in US and UK!

So in Australia, they've made them prescription only instead of over the counter medicines. (But still available!!!)

And the most laughable thing to me is the fact that there is lack of evidence that these medicines actually work!!!

Oh my goodness, the medicine might not work, but they can kill you, and the authorities let unknowing parents buy them off the shelf to give it to their children for all these years?

Talk about violating the "First Do NO Harm" golden rule in the practice of medicine!

And then, we have to wonder, what these medicines actually do to adults?

Just because adults are more tolerant to side effects of drugs, it doesn't mean that we have to put up with these poisonous drugs do we?

Well, it's incidences like this that drove me from the pharmaceutical and drug based western medicine to the natural herb based Chinese medicine.

There are plenty of herbs that can help with colds, flu and coughs, with much better clinical effects, and definitely none of these "life threatening" side effects.

One of the best immune enhancing herbs which boost the immune system and has long been used as a respiratory and kidney tonic is Cordyceps sinensis.
Here's some of the benefits of Cordyceps: 

• Regulate the Immune function
• Anti-oxidation effect (oxidation is the major process of aging)
• Anti-inflammatory effect (inflammation is now understood to be a cause or factor of wide range of health problems ranging from arthritis, aches and pains, headache to stroke, heart attack, autoimmune diseases etc)
• Anti-bacterial effect
• Anti-viral effect
• Anti-tumour effect
• Strengthen the lungs/respiratory system
• Benefit the heart
• Kidney tonic
• Regulate the blood sugar and lipid levels
• Helps to regenerate red blood cells
• Prevent unwanted blood clotting
• And much more...
