HERBALIST PERSPECTIVE
VIRAL RESOLVE

This potent formula offers effective relief for stubborn and long-standing bacterial and viral conditions. Pharmaceutical antibiotics actually suppress the immune system and wipe out healthy flora as well as other bacteria in the body, leaving one more depleted and less able to fight off infection. Furthermore, the overuse of antibiotics has contributed to their being less effective for bacterial conditions. Herbs do not have the negative side effects of these drugs and they work very effectively killing a wide range of microbes and enhancing the body's immune system. Viral Resolve can be take with Cold Away, Flu The Coop, or Sinus Aid for the additional support of Echinacea and/or Elder Berry, both very effective in their own right. The latter three formulas work very effectively, especially at the first signs of cold and flu symptoms, often resolving these problems very quickly. When not resolved quickly, adding Viral Resolve can give the added boost needed.
