在歐美，醫(yī)生對感冒通常不會開藥，民眾與醫(yī)師都清楚的知道：感冒沒有特效藥，吃藥只是把癥狀掩蓋，實質(zhì)上會更糟糕。                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      在中國找醫(yī)生看感冒，一般都會開感冒藥(而且，某些感冒藥還特別有效)。醫(yī)生如果規(guī)規(guī)矩矩教病患“多休息、多喝水”的幾乎都不容易生存。如果醫(yī)生不開藥，病患會再找第二個醫(yī)生，第二個醫(yī)生察顏觀色，立刻開出“特效藥”，癥狀很快解除，這時病患不但不會懷疑第二個醫(yī)生，還會臭罵第一個醫(yī)生醫(yī)術(shù)不好。                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          有的醫(yī)生堅持感冒不隨便開藥，發(fā)燒也不必急著退，并給病人說明感冒隨便退燒的壞處，但是相信的人終究還是少數(shù)，多數(shù)的人寧愿選擇開藥，癥狀很快解除的醫(yī)師。                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          人體的自我防衛(wèi)能力就是利用鼻塞、流鼻涕、打噴嚏、咳嗽甚至發(fā)燒等機轉(zhuǎn)來達成。西醫(yī)發(fā)明的感冒藥，不但不能對抗病毒，反而都在打擊人體自我防衛(wèi)：抗組織氨、偽麻黃素讓鼻塞打開，鼻涕減少、不打噴嚏，氣管擴張劑、類固醇讓氣管門戶大開，讓痰的分泌減少，表面上癥狀沒有了，事實上，卻是門戶洞開，引狼入室。 （癥狀的消除實際上并不是恢復健康，而是人體自我防衛(wèi)被藥物壓制、解除武裝?。?                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        過敏性鼻炎與氣喘的發(fā)生隨著化學藥物的普及反而越來越高（是以前的十多倍），原因何在？很少人想到是經(jīng)常吃感冒藥，將免疫力破壞，身體防線由第一道的鼻腔，退到最后一道的肺泡所致。                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            吃感冒藥不但不能“治病”  ，反而會“致病”。小孩第一次感冒通常5-7天抗體產(chǎn)生后，就會自然痊癒。但是父母不放心，媒體又推波助瀾，急著帶去給醫(yī)師看，大部分的醫(yī)師會開出癥狀治療藥(其實是消滅免疫力、傷害小孩的藥)，父母遵從醫(yī)囑，規(guī)規(guī)矩矩                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     給小孩灌藥，果然癥狀很快消失，但從此也走上不歸路，以后抵抗力越來越差，感冒次數(shù)越來越多，藥物越用越重，惡性循環(huán)終致演變成過敏性鼻炎、氣喘等。           美國食藥監(jiān)局直接禁止六歲以下兒童服用感冒藥、咳嗽藥，說白了，就是這些藥物根本無效！兩個都感冒的人，無論吃藥與否，其實最后好的時間是一樣的！          嚴控感冒藥物的銷售，會觸及醫(yī)療利益鏈的利益，民眾盲目依賴醫(yī)療和化學藥物，放棄對自身健康的責任也助長了這些利益集團的壯大，快節(jié)奏的生活方式使大眾放棄了傳統(tǒng)的刮痧，喝紅糖姜湯，多休息多喝水的自然感冒治療方式，最后身體埋下隱患，健康出現(xiàn)問題也怪不了別人！
