Every doctor I have seen had told me (growing up) there was nothing that could be done to cure the flu or colds. This board proved that wrong with the HQC & Zinc combo in my life (technically Quinine in liquid form for me personally).

Still docs at our local clinic all use a protocol that is made at home, cheap & worked better than nothing. The Quinine & Zinc knocked it out in about a day. The olivier oil mixture with honey & some other stuff seemed to help cut the cold/flu by half.

Good doctors are willing to step away from tradition if there is data they can review & make an educated decision on. My diabetic specialist changed their opinion prescription meds for blood pressure as a preventative must when I shared info about Amla Fruit with them. They offer it as a non insured natural first step for patients if the patient would rather try it.

Offer studies & data. Many doctors may just follow the party line, though I have been suprised at how much they have been willing to listen when I come to them with studies they have not heard about & my personal experiences following data from the studies.
