http://www.oup-usa.org/isbn/019263285X.html

Extractions: Cold Wars tells the story of the common cold, the most widespread disease of all. From ancient Egypt to the space age, colds have plagued mankind, and many attempts have been made to find a cure. Today, we spend millions of pounds on remedies and businesses lose millions of pounds through employee sickness- but are we any closer to conquering the cold? In the aftermath of the Second World War, a concerted effort was made in the UK to resolve the scientific conundrum of the common cold. A Common Cold Unit was established near Salisbury, making use of some rather primitive facilities provided by the American Red Cross, and for nearly 50 years was part of the British medical establishment. Much of the research was done on volunteers, who came in large numbers to the CCU to spend days in isolation while scientists attempted to give them a cold. Many eminent scientists, including James Lovelock, were part of the attempt to understand the common cold. This book begins with a brief history of colds through the centuries, describing what earlier generations believed and the strange treatments they tried. That the cold was caused by a virus was only uncovered at the beginning of the last century. The authors vividly describe the establishment of the Common Cold Unit, and its work in uncovering the causes and transmission of the cold and analysing possible treatments. Finally, they assess the progress made in recent years in understanding the psychological aspects of colds, and the latest research on prevention and cures.

Despite what your mother may have told you, going outside without a hat will not increase your chances of catching cold. In studies by Britain's Common Cold Unit during the 1940s, volunteers who were wet down and then exposed to cold air were no more likely to catch cold than control subjects in cozier conditions. Those results have been confirmed in many more studies since. BEING IN CROWDS . According to some experts, it can take up to several hundred hours of exposure to a cold virus to catch a coldso you are more likely to catch cold from someone you spend a lot of time with, such as a family member, rather than through a chance encounter with strangers. Still, as cold virus particles can hang in the air for hours after someone coughs or sneezes, it is wise for the immunocompromised (including very young infants with immature immune systems) to avoid large gatherings or, if impossible, to wear surgical masks.

Stedman Center for Nutritional Studies There's an old tradition of eating black-eyed peas on New Year's Day to ensure prosperity for the rest of the year. But if you want health as well as wealth, you may want to make a New Year's resolution to eat more legumes the rest of the year too. These humble beans boast big benefits for those who eat them often: they can reduce your risk of heart disease and strokes, help prevent cancer, and even save money. The beans that come packed with these benefits are the starchy legumes: green peas, navy beans, lima beans, black-eyed peas, kidney beans, and more exotic varieties like garbanzos, black beans, lentils, and fava beans. Despite their beautiful differences in color and taste, all the legumes have similar nutritional value. A serving (1/3 cup of cooked beans) contains around 80 calories, no cholesterol, lots of complex carbohydrates, and little fat. In addition, beans are a good source of B vitamins, potassium, and fiber, which promotes digestive health, relieves constipation, and may even help prevent colon cancer and reduce blood cholesterol (a leading cause of heart disease). Not used to eating lots of legumes? Here are some tips on incorporating more beans into your diet.

Extractions: If you have a cold, should you: Take a vitamin pill? Take a laxative? Take a drink? Take a rest? What causes a cold? Many different viruses can cause a cold. Over a hundred have been identified so far. A virus is a disease-producing agent so small that it goes right through the very fine filter that stops bacteria. These cold-causing viruses are present in great numbers in your nose and throat when you have a cold. They are carried on the droplets you expel when talking, coughing, or sneezing. How do you catch a cold? Though a virus causes your cold, a number of conditions seem to increase your susceptibility. People appear to catch colds mainly indoors. Certainly they get more of them during the colder months. This is probably because of more indoor living in proximity to other peoples cold viruses, with closed windows and a lack of circulating air allowing the viruses to remain alive and on hand. On the Appollo 7 space flight, you may remember, first the captain and then, within a few days, the crew came down with colds. Fatigue, poor physical condition, some air pollutants, and perhaps chilling seem to give the virus

http://www.pulmonologychannel.com/cold/

Extractions: Overview The common cold is an acute viral infection of the upper respiratory tract that affects the nose, throat, sinuses, larynx, and sometimes the lungs. Varieties of rhinovirus and coronavirus are the most common causes. These viruses are easily transmitted through contact with the secretions of infected people (e.g., handshakes, shared objects, kissing). Once the virus enters the body, it multiplies in the cells (often at the back of the nose) and causes an inflammatory response that produces characteristic symptoms such as excessive mucus (probably in an attempt to rid the body of the virus) and swollen airways. Incidence and Prevalence Adults average two colds a year and children typically get them more often. Causes and Risk Factors The common cold is transmitted through person-to-person contact, typically when an infected person touches the eyes, mouth, or inside of the nose and spreads the virus to the hands. Poor hygiene promotes infection. Kissing and sharing eating utensils with an infected person are common modes of transmission. Malnourishment and exposure to cold weather or rain do not cause a cold.

"If you have Jesus, you don't need so-called facts! So, we teach abstinence only !" (PLYMOUTH ROCK) When Fundamentalist Christians' forefathers, the godly Puritans, founded this formerly Christian nation, they didn't give out A's in school to young ladies who knew what an erect, bobbing penis looked like. Instead, the only A such a harlot could expect to receive was a scarlet one sewed on her pinafore. biology . While it was encouraged to talk graphically about how Cain brutally bludgeoned Abel, it was verboten to allude to how either brother was conceived, much less the necessarily incestuous liaisons that led to ribless Adam's grandchildren. Quite simply, it was polite to talk about procreation by the de-boning of a man, but not by the boning a woman. Knowing that the Devil is in the details, the serious-minded, vinegary Christians of colonial Salem, Massachusetts were too pious to discuss the actual biological acts that would lead to a public hanging. This lack of information led to many a surprised, yet sated, person finding a coarse, itchy noose around his neck.

Extractions: What Causes the Common Cold? A virus actually, about two hundred different viruses causes the common cold. Contrary to popular belief, we seldom catch a cold from airborne particles expelled when someone with a cold coughs or sneezes or if we drink or eat something that they drank or ate from. However, we easily pick up cold-causing viruses through hand-to-hand contact with someone who has a cold or from objects (doorknobs, computer mouse, telephone) that have been contaminated with a cold virus. This shows you the importance of proper hand washing! Most colds clear themselves up in about a week to ten days, but sometimes it can lead to pneumonia if you don't take care of yourself when you are sick or if your immune system isn't working well. What A Virus Does - In Simple Terms Treatment To feel better: REST, sip hot liquids such as chicken soup, or herbal tea, drink lots of water, and eat healthy foods. Call your health care provider if your fever gets over 101° F or if you start coughing up "gunk".

Extractions: NIFS Wellness Articles Echinacea: The Cure for the Common Cold? By Stacey Ahlrich, B.A. Echinacea, one of the current top selling herbs, is best known for its ability to enhance the immune system and protect the body. Since the 1930's, the German's have been researching this herb and its many uses as an herbal remedy, including treating coughs, colds, influenza, upper respiratory infections, urinary tract infections, wounds, psoriasis, eczema, and inflammatory skin conditions. This purple plant has three different types: Echinacea purpurea, pallida, and angustifolia ( www.aidsinfonet.org ). All three types are common for protection against colds, respiratory illnesses, and urinary tract infections. Available in Many Forms Echinacea is available for purchase in tablet form, consisting of powder from the root or leaf. An alcohol-based formula is available, as are pressed juices direct from the plant. Pressed juice is not as common due to a reduction in shelf life and availability. There is no evidence proving which form is most effective. Using Echinacea Research suggests Echinacea will provide best relief at the onset of cold or flu-like symptoms. If early warnings are missed, not to worry, Echinacea will still shorten the duration of a cold (Mccarthy, 1998). When consuming Echinacea, general recommendations suggest not exceeding 6-8 weeks of treatment (

Extractions: When a rhinovirus enters the lungs, it binds the ICAM-1 receptors in the lung tissues and activates the cells harboring the ICAM-1 molecule on their membrane. This induces a further synthesis of ICAM-1 proteins resulting in a hyper-expression of ICAM-1 on cellular membranes. Now the white blood cells, such as macrophages, neutrophils and lymphocytes enter the lungs in large numbers. The immune hormones these white blood cells release cause the symptoms associated with a cold. Rhinoviruses are not deadly, in and of themselves. However, the exaggerated immune response to these viruses can be quite deadly, such as inducing fatal asthma attacks. Influenza viruses are all potently deadly, especially in someone with a compromised immune response. The immune response that is initiated by flu virus is acting in defense of ones health. The opposite is true of the immune response against rhinoviruses. Can you defend yourself against rhinoviral infections? The answer is yes. There actually is some truth to the late, great Dr. Linus Paulings claim that vitamin C can prevent a cold. Unfortunately, prevention requires a steady, large daily dose of vitamin C and the results are inconsistent. If you smoke or are under constant stress (who isnt these days), you can forget about vitamin C. Both of these conditions destroy vitamin C at a rapid rate. Vitamin C is an important anti-oxidant, but other compounds are more powerful.
