A prolific killer of young children worldwide, diarrhea may have met its match with cheap and
available zinc tablets.
The results suggest that
zinc tablets lozenges or syrup taken within 1 day of the start of cold symptoms lessen the severity as well as duration of illness.
The best treatment for diarrhoea is to (1) drink lots of liquids and oral rehydration salts (ORS), properly mixed with clean water from a safe source, and (2)
take zinc tablets or syrup for 10 — 14 days.
Orange and pumpkin seeds combine as a kind of natural vitamin C and
zinc tablet, boosting immunity and creating nuanced flavors.
Two of my favorites are
zinc tablets, which can shorten the duration of a cold, and slippery elm, which can ease a painful cough.
On a whim I decided to try
the zinc tablets for a few days.
