Best Supplement for Flu: Boiron Oscillococcinum for Relief from Flu-Like Symptoms of Body Aches, Headache, Fever, Chills, and Fatigue - 30 Count

Tami-Flu vs Oscillo (A Family Experience)

We bought this Family 30 pack in May 2015, and in the days of Jan 28 - Feb 3, 2016 my entire family caught the Flu. It started with my wife who got checked with a nose swab and tested positive, she decided to take the prescribed Tami-Flu along with the recommended Advil for fever and Tylenol for headaches, but I also stressed she take the Oscillo. She was bed ridden for 4 days and with another day of headaches and back aches. Our 15 month old son did not take prescription medicine, only Oscillo and a dose of Belladonna 30c when needed for high fever, he was up and running around with so much energy in two days. Now take my case, I knew the Flu was going to get me, we live in the same household and I was tending to them, so I started taking Oscillo (on Sunday) just in case. It so happens that my burning chest cough started on Monday night (first sign of the Flu), the cough continued through Tuesday afternoon, by noon my joints started hurting along with my lower back, by 3pm my muscles began to feel sore and an overall full body weakness started along with a fever of 102. I was lying in bed by 5pm Monday, I remained in bed all day Tuesday sleeping in and out, felt a lot of eyeball pain and headaches, body continued to hurt and chills took over. I made sure I was drinking (1 liter, 1/4 Pediatlye 3/4 Water) 2 liters a day to keep hydrated, lost my appetite and continued to run a 102 fever all day Tuesday. Got up to shower and brush and realized my skin and scalp were extremely sensitive to touch. Tuesday night I took one dose of Belladonna 200C for my persistent fever. I woke up entirely drenched in sweat Wednesday morning at 7am. My fever was gone, my eyeball pains became much much weaker, and my headache was gone. By Wednesday 12 noon, the pains in my joints and muscles and lower back were gone, and I was moving around like normal. By 5pm Wednesday I was just coughing a wet progressive cough, and nose was clearing, I still looked sickly but had a normal level of energy with a greater appetite and ready to go to work. I was taking Oscillococcinum 3 times a day, every six hours religiously. My Flu lasted a little over 2 days, just like my son, that's it

It works!

I can't explain how Oscillococcinum works, but it does. I'm a nurse and I don't usually use homeopathic products - because I can't explain them scientifically! - however, when the bird Flu scare hit and was at it's worst, I stumbled upon a book about the Spanish Flu pandemic in 1918 (could be off a bit on the date) and how only 5% of people treated by homeopathic doctors died whereas well over 60% of others died. The book is called "The Homeopathic Treatment of influenza " with "special bird Flu edition" by Sandra J. Perko, Ph.D.,C.C.N. The book goes over what homeopathic remedies were used by homeopathic doctors with the patients who had the Spanish Flu - and also has a huge section where you can look for specific symptoms and then the homeopathic remedies that would help those symptoms. In any case, Oscillococcinum was one of the remedies that was used. I also buy another product - Hyland's Flu. It's for children but I use it for me. Between these two products - the Oscillococcinum and the Hyland's Flu - all of the remedies which the homeopathic doctors used for their Spanish Flu patients are included. I have been taking both for many years now - start taking at the first signs of a cold or when someone close to me starts getting sick - and I have been able to either not get sick or it only lasts a day or two and is much milder. Again, I don't know how they work but I am sold on both products

Works for Flu/COVID – like symptoms. Why the price gouging, Amazon?

My family has been using oscillococcinum for years now. We take it at the first sign of chills, cold, scratchy throat, cough, fever, malaise, exhaustion, headache, body ache, fever, sore throat. Sometimes, I will feel a chill in the middle of the night and I will wake up to take a dose right there and then. For years, I have introduced it to my friends, family, coworkers, neighbors etc and they all swear by this remedy. Since it is homeopathy, there is so little active ingredient that it is for all practical purpose not there in the remedy. I have no idea how and why it works but for me it is like quantum medicine. I was down with suspected COVID because I was exposed to a person who had returned from Asia the day before. I started taking the remedy as soon as I fell ill because I am part of a very vulnerable population in terms of age and other illnesses Thankfully, I was ok with Tylenol and oscillococcinum in 4 days and it was quite mild symptoms all considered. Bioron has not mentioned it but you can even take it prophylactically, so if you feel you may have been exposed at work or grocery store or will be exposed at work or grocery store, just take 1/4 or 1/2 a vial. I stocked up by buying several boxes of 30-dose each once I heard of COVID and Flu becoming worse and I am glad I have more than enough. I would say though that it is shameful that Amazon is allowing this price gouging on this medicine. It is double of what I paid on it just few weeks ago. Shame

Seriously works for Flu I was shocked

This truly works I thought these reviews were by people paid and it is NOT! I was the only one in my family to use this when my sister gave everyone Flu type a -they were all so very sick coughing sneezing stomach issues and I started this and elderberry and I was the only one not to get the Flu a and if I did it was so minimal I barely noticed . Not only that but then I started giving this to my husband and my 3 year old and their Flu started to dissapear. I gave the dose every 6 hours for 3 days . And then twice a day for 3 days … and then once a day. It truly does work ! Just make sure you take this as soon as you feel a tickle or a cold for faster results ! Don't give up when you're back to yourself keep the dose going for extra few days to be sure. Hope this helps another family

Help for colds, Flu.

This is one of several items you should have just in case you get a very bad cold or Flu. Most of the time, it does help take away some cold/Flu body aches and it's great relief. There's no alcohol or drugs in the formula, nothing to make you sleepy, it's all natural, it just works to make that awful sick fluish feeling a bit better so you can rest and get better

Oscillo does not masks the Flu symptoms…

I have been taking Oscillo since 2008. Before, my Flu lasted 1 week to 1.5 weeks. Now people barely notice when I have the Flu. - If I take it when the symptoms start, the Flu normally lasts me 1.5 days (where I am miserable). Whereas by day 3, I am back to normal. - If I wait and take it after the onset of systems the Flu will last me 3.5 days where 2 of those I am feeling miserable. I make it a point to at least allow my body to rest one day if I am actually sick. What people need to understand is that this is not your typical medicine that masks the symptoms. When you take Oscillo you do not feel different right after taking it, but somehow it is working inside your system and fighting with (not against) your immune system against the Flu virus. So in my case and body chemistry normally it takes about three doses before I start feeling back to normal. Sometimes a few more. My kids love it, my sister and mom take it as well. I always tell people that it is expensive but to try it anyways, because it is a great investment of your money and you do not need the stupid Flu shot. I always carry some with me in my backpack, leave 1 or 2 doses in my desk drawer and have some at home. Hope this helps

BEST Flu MEDICINE – WORKS WELL AND FAST

I LOVE this stuff for Flu symptoms. It really works!! It's kind of pricey but I've found Amazon has the lowest prices by far. I've purchased this product from a health store, a couple of different grocery stores, Walgreens and Wal-mart and the Amazon price is $5-$10 less per box. If you take it as directed, you will notice improvement in symptoms within a few hours if you take as soon as symptoms occur. There are three (3) tubes of little, bitty pellets that you take for a full day's dose. Even finicky kids will be okay with taking this because it has a slightly sweet taste and the pellets dissolve immediately. It works even if you take after you've had symptoms for a while. I have twins grade schoolers - when one gets sick the other is sure to follow. One of them caught a bad Flu virus from school (had a high fever, sore throat and body aches for five days straight). Someone told me about the Oscillococcinum, so I gave it a try. After one day of taking the Oscillococcinum, the fever finally broke. Two days of taking the medication and she was much better - I gave her the medication for a third day to be sure to cure all of her ailments. I started giving it to the other child as a precautionary measure on the same day I gave it to the sickie. She did get sick, but the duration was much, much shorter. She had a fever for a couple of days, her temperature wasn't as high and her throat wasn't as red either. Seeing how quickly this worked for my kids when they already had symptoms and how it drastically reduced the duration when given at onset of symptoms is all I need to know that this REALLY WORKS. I keep a supply on hand at all times especially in the winter

It works

Oscillosoccinum's active ingredient is Anas barbariae hepatis et cordis extractum 200CK, which is made from the heart and liver of wild duck and is diluted repeatedly until essentially no molecules of duck heart or liver are found in the actual pill. Since wildfowl are a natural reservoir for influenza, and since nucleic and phosphoric compounds in the pill resemble influenza, it is thought that the combination contributes to antiviral activity. However, the exact mechanism of action is not well describe

Great product, helped me through covad and Flu – highly recommend.

I had covad and Flu, this medication helped me greatly. I could tell the minute the medication wore off. Easy to take, like pop rocks without the pop. No side effects, very effective to relieve my symptoms
