Problems associated with the flu vaccine seem to appear annually. Sometimes there’s not much that can be done to prevent getting sick, so the challenge is getting through it with as little misery as possible. For information on how to treat the miserable symptoms produced by viruses so your body can heal faster, we called Jamison Starbuck, ND, a naturopathic physician, practicing in Missoula, Montana.

Viruses are the tiniest life form in existence-smaller, even, than a single cell. However their impact is huge as they are responsible various infectious illnesses or diseases, from the common cold to chicken pox to much deadlier ones including HIV.

Natural medications are great at helping the body gear up to fight viruses, says Dr. Starbuck. They work by revving up the white Blood cells of the immune system to target the bad guys causing the symptoms, boosting antibody production to encourage it to stop replicating. And, like pharmaceuticals, natural medicines can ease symptoms.
