Viral disease hitting India affects Western travelers

A viral disease called chikungunya, which causes aches, pains, and fever has sweeped through Inida and, thus, any tourists who have been there.

We have heard from several clients who had recently returned from India complain about having these symptoms, but were unable to definitively nail down the cause.

The virus, carried by mosquitoes, is rarely fatal, but the joint pain can last for weeks and months. There is no drug treatment at this time.

If you do travel to India or have just recently returned, I suggest supplementing with the natural substance Monolaurin, which has an anti-viral fighting property.
