Homeopathic First Aid for Cold and Flu

     The name of the main ingredient, VINCETOXICUM, means to "vanquish toxins".  This is in fact Engystol's mode of action, rather than killing viruses, it detoxifies the body and stimulates the immune system.

     Engystol is a modulator of nonspecific cellular defense mechanisms.  Various cellular and biochemical pathways appear to be modulated by the product's ingredients.  Studies have shown that Engystol increases the phagocytic activity of certain white blood cells by up to 30%.  This effect is enhanced by the addition of another homeopathic formulation, Gripp-Heel.  A balanced combination of Engystol and Gripp-Heel had a greater effect on phagocytic activity by granulocyctes than the individual formulations alone.  The combination of the two homeopathics stimulate phagocytic activity up to 41% above control cultures. 

     Human trials using test subjects compared to a control group given a placebo, showed interesting results.   The maximum phagocytic activity in the test group was observed between the 4th and 5th day after the beginning of treatment.  Differences between the test and control groups were statistically significant by the 2nd day.  After the 5th day of treatment there was a rapid decline of phagocytic activity and by approximately the 11th day of treamtment indices were normal. 

No toxic side effects were observed and the remedy was well tolerated by all subjects.  (References are available upon request)

Applications of Engystol:

Engystol has a wide spectrum of application:

• Viral Infections
• Bacterial Infections
• Respiratory Conditions
• All Types of Allergies
• Dermatosis

    As mentioned above, Engystol lowers the level of toxins in the body.  These toxins can burden and weaken the immune system.  Engystol activates the body's own non-specific defenses, particularly in vague feverish infections, for influenza and viral infections of all kinds, as well as before and after vaccinations.

     Engystol is particularly useful in protocols for respiratory conditions such as: bronchitis, bronchiectasis, pertussis, pneumonia and asthma.
