Los Angeles, CA October 4, 2004 - With flu season just around the corner, the award winning Chinese Herbal Pharmacologist, Doctor Lihua Zhang (www.herbal-max.com), announces the availability of an effective, maximum strength herbal product to combat Flu & Colds. It is appropriately called HERBALmax Flu & Cold formula. Clinical study has shown that 77% of persons who began the herbal formula soon after experiencing symptoms reported recovery by the next day. 89.5% of persons recovered within 1-4 days after taking the Flu & Cold formula. Because the herbs used in the formula are carefully selected from tens of thousands of Chinese herbs for its safety, it can be taken by all ages. Some herbs in the formula were used to stop SARS outbreak in late 2002 and early 2003 in China.

     The success of the formula is due to two factors:
1) Dr. Zhangs extensive knowledge and formulation of the product backed by 23 years of research and clinical success; and
2) Concentrates of effective Chinese herbs known for their antibacterial and antiviral properties.

     HERBALmax Flu & Cold formula has shown in clinical studies to significantly shorten the duration of flu and cold. From September 2002 to April 2003, a series of 83 patients reporting symptoms of cold and flu were studied; concluded that the Flu & Cold formula appear to aid recovery from cold and flu symptoms typically within 1 to 4 days.

     Flu the common name for Influenza - is known to be a deadly disease that can disguise itself in variety of different forms. Flu and its complications was the seventh leading cause of death in the USA in 1999 and 2000. The flu and the common cold are respiratory illnesses caused by different viruses with similar symptoms. The flu, however, is worse than the common cold. Common flu and cold symptoms are sore throat, headache, tiredness/weakness, and cough. Runny and stuffy noses are usually signs of colds. People 65+ years and children 6-23 months of age, pregnant women, and people with chronic medical conditions are at high risk of complications from influenza.

     Antibiotics treat bacteria and are usually not effective for treating viruses like influenza or cold. Some of the drugs available for flu only treat certain viruses, and each flu around is caused by different viruses. One such drug, Tamiflu (oseltamivir), can only be taken within 2 days of first signs of symptoms. It cannot be taken by infants less than one year old and may cause side effects. Last month, The Lancet, a British medical journal, published a study of children with influenza treated with oseltamivir and conducted by an international team of researchers. Results showed that nearly 20% of patients treated with the drug produced mutant drug-resistant viruses as soon as four days after treatment.

     Because HERBALmax Flu & Cold formula can very quickly stop the flu and cold at the beginning, it is a good product to keep at hand to protect against the flu. It is, however, also very strong against the flu at its peak.
