PROTECT YOURSELF AGAINST FLU THIS WINTER
What you need to know about Flu
|
“Working in Private General Practice for over 15 years, we know the effect of catching flu can be devastating.” Dr Julia Piper BM, BS, BMedSci, MRCGP, DFFP, DipOccMed, DipAccMed |
The flu can:
1. Confine you to your bed for up to 1 week
2. Affect your immune system so you are more likely to contract other illnesses
3. Mean you have to take time off work which you can ill afford to lose.
4. In some situations complications can arise result if you subsequently catch Pneumonia which is a potentially serious condition.
5. Flu is more serious if caught by those in the ‘at risk groups’ e.g. those over the age of 65, those with immuno-compromised bodies (due to effect of chronic illness), pregnant women, children under 5 etc.

Whilst much is known about the importance of traditional medicine and the evidence for its continued use, far less is known about alternative medicine and integrated therapies. 25 years ago, they were considered unorthodox, but today they are very much more accepted and openly practised. Research shows that 90% of us use them in one form or another, and we know that when correctly and safely administered by open-minded and trained professionals, how beneficial they can be for body, mind and spirit.

As we write, there have been over 1000 cases of Measles in France. Switzerland and Germany also have significant problems with measles. This is because these countries do not have such good immunisation coverage as we do in the UK. By contrast there have been 80 cases in England. The most recent outbreak of measles is at Leeds University where so far 15 students have been affected. The first case was exposed during a skiing trip to France.
