A holistic remedy for recurrent cough & cold

Do you, your kids or any of your loved ones face recurrent cough and cold, and you have tried almost everything, busting the medical fees, and still searching for an answer to alleviate the problem?


Introducing NOCO (i.e say "NO to COld"), if you have never heard of it. 



I was introduced to the company selling Noco back in 2000, and I still stand by it even after a decade. My trust in Noco grew even stronger after my little boy, now 6, caught pneumonia in January 2010 from a local hospital when I took him there just for a regular check up. After an X-ray just to confirm it was pneumonia, his health took a turn going downhill. 


I am exposed to knowledge about health, and how nutrition, our diet, our environment, and lifestyle affects our health. X-ray is something I always dread especially for a little kid. It damages our body cells and weakens our immune system, making it more susceptible to illnesses. 


After he caught pneumonia, the X-ray and a course of antibiotics, his lungs were so weak that he kept having recurrent cough and cold nearly every 2-3 weeks. Two months later, which is March 2010, he caught acute bronchitis. It was just non-stop for almost 8 months with cough, cold, runny nose, and with a fever when it was more serious. He looked very skinny and sickly for the whole of 2010. 


To cut the history short, I put a lot of faith in Noco and gave it to my little boy persistently in higher dosages and frequency during his 'down' period. On his non-sick days, I would continue his Noco and this went on for almost a year. I give him doctor's prescribed medications together with Noco only when his cough and runny nose symptoms are overly serious. I prefer he receives minimal medications, as they potentially do more harm than good. For those who did not know, there is no cure for cough and cold, it all depends on our own immune system. 


Today, his lungs have strengthened much more, and the cough and cold are getting less frequent. Even when he is attacked by flu bugs, he never takes any medications and he recovers much faster too, taking him just 1-3 days for the cough, cold and runny nose to disappear.

For those interested, Noco's ingredients are:
*Ji-lin Ginseng
*Dark Plum
*Peppermint Extract
*Chrysanthemum Flower
*Licorice Root
*Ganoderma
*Gelatin (bovine)


Noco can be consumed long term, and is proven without any side effects. It is a certified 'halal' health supplement with a nourishing function for our body's respiratory system. In Malaysia, its RRP is RM78.75. It is also available for sale in Singapore, USA, Canada, Europe, China, Hong Kong, Korea, Philippines, Taiwan and Thailand.


There are many reasons to recurrent cough and cold. I will indulge further in a different post on things we can potentially do to alleviate such recurrences. Noco is just one of the solutions as a prevention measure and a potential cure for people with very weak lungs and sensitive nose.


Some additional tips, Chinese have certain 'traditional diet rules' we follow to not aggravate cough and cold symptoms. I make my kid stay away from citrus fruits, chicken, eggs, fried and spicy foods, cold drinks and ice-cream.
