Cold and Flu

25% of the population is affected by influenza like illness (ILI) each year leading to reduced productivity, time lost at work and school and in some severe cases hospitalization. We can help! Naturopathic Doctors at Marsden Centre are trained in the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of respiratory illnesses like colds, flu, bronchitis, and more.

Prevention

The best treatment for respiratory tract infections is to avoid getting them in the first place. We develop individualized treatment advice for each patient including diet, lifestyle, and botanical and nutritioal supplementation.

 Treatment

Conventional medical treatment has little that can treat viral infections. Many naturopathic treatments have long traditional use in colds and flus and are recently receiving validation in published clinical research. At Marsden Centre we can provide basic treatment aimed at minimizing symptoms of infection and speeding recovery. In more chronic or severe situations we can provide aggressive interventions like intravenous vitamin C, nebulized glutathione, and more. In addition, Marsden Centre has a walk-in service during regular office hours. No appointment is needed – just come in and a licensed ND will take care of you.
