KLACID: for treatment of infections caused by susceptible organisms. include:

1) Lower respiratory tract infections (LRTI) for eg acute and chronic bronchitis, and pneumonia.

2) upper respiratory tract infections (URTI) for eg folliculitis, cellulitis and erysipelas

Fluimucil - effective mucolytic which helps to get rid of sticky and thick mucus (that is obstructing the airway, resulting in coughing).

Singulair - to prevent and/or treat of:

1) Long term asthma attacks (long term usage). 

2) Short term asthma (exercise-induced) 

3) Relieve runny nose caused by allergy or for other conditions 

PROBLEM: Leukotrienes? 

- chemicals your body releases when you breathe in an allergen (such as pollen). 

- cause swelling in your lungs and tightening of the muscles around your airways (result in asthma symptoms). 

SOLUTION: Singulair blocks leukotriene. It relaxes walls of bronchial tubes + expand airways -> 

a) reduce swelling and inflammation. 

b) decrease asthma and allergy symptoms

KALOBA - relief of colds & sore throats (not needed if taking KLACID)

CLARITYNE - relief of symptoms associated with allergic rhinitis, such as sneezing, nasal discharge (rhinorrhea) and itching, as well as ocular itching and burning.

STERIMAR - 100% natural solution of sea water rich in trace elements.

1) Daily hygiene, as a preventive measure

2) Treatment or for colds, allergic rhinitis or blocked nose, or in a polluted environment, instantly make breathing more comfortable.

Organism is made up of billions of cells, (each acts like a microscopic laboratory) constantly carrying out chemical reactions to ensure that the organism functions properly. These reactions depend for their success on tiny workers known as enzymes which trigger biochemical reactions. In turn, the enzyme needs a “spark”: the trace elements.

Trace elements are essential triggers for many biological mechanisms in the digestive, muscular, circulatory and cerebral systems. Although present in only minute quantities * in the body, they are essential if the body is to function properly and maintain a healthy balance.

2 types:

1) Essential Trace Elements: 

- Over 80 elements identified in man, only 15 are indispensable to human. 

- They act as catalysts.

- Our body cannot produce for itself and which are thus only to be found in our diet.

2) Non-Essential Trace Elements:

- Aluminium, Silver, Bismuth, Lithium and Gold.

- Not usually found in human
