Frequently Asked Questions
Q - Will the ColdArrest - FluArrest™' procedure work 100% of the time?
A - Few medications or medical procedures are 100% effective. Last year's influenza (2007- 2008) vaccine for example, was partially effective, since it has prevented of about 40% of healthy individuals from contracting any one of the three flu viruses it targets and it provides 0% protection from most other flu strains. So, even if you have been vaccinated you may still need to use the ColdArrest - FluArrest™ as a backup flu therapy.
Of all the long list of cold and flu producing viruses that we discuss in the 'Conquer the Common Cold & Flu' CD presentation, not all of them are heat sensitive, so occasionally, you are going to come down with one that cannot be killed by the maximum temparatures that you can reach with the ColdArrest - FluArrest™ procedure.
Summer colds are a good example of this. Heat slows them down but it does not stop them. Fortunately, there are relatively few cold viruses and almost no flu viruses in this category and even with the relatively stubborn ones, ColdArrest - FluArrest™ will dramatically slow the reproduction rate of the virus, minimizing symptoms and cell damage, while it gives your body time to to activate it's immune system and then kill the virus biochemically.
So, don't give up on the procedure just because you encounter a heat resistant strain of cold occasionally.
Eliminating 80% to 90% of colds and flu for the rest of your life and dramatically minimizing your symptoms of the relatively few others is still quite an accomplishment.
Q - John Hoskins of Boston, USA asks - "I had a flu once and it was no big deal, so I get the idea that flu usually is fatal to high-risk patients, is that the case? "
A - Listen to the answer as featured on our FAQ's section of 'Conquer the Common Cold & Flu' presentation

Q - Is the ColdArrest - FluArrest™' procedure safe for the elderly with medical conditions, such as heart or blood pressure problems?
A - Yes, the procedure is quite safe to be used on both the elderly and young children, this is because you are killing the virus cells that thrive in the nasal epiphylla and we do this by raising the temperature to the precise amounts using a commonly used household product that you already have.
No skin contact is made and there is no need to raise the core body temperature. You don't need to buy additional products for your family members.
Pneumonia is a serious concern for the elderly, especially in the light of the recent outbreaks around the world, where the flu shot has been ineffective in all but 40% of immunisations. The ColdArrest™ - FluArrest™ is well worth considering for your family.
Q - How soon should I start to use the ColdArrest Procedure as instructed in the 'Conquer the Common Cold & Flu' presentation?
A - As soon as you suspect the first signs of a cold or flu virus, this usually starts with a ticklish or slight irritation at the back of the throat. The sooner you start the ColdArrest procedure the more effective it will be in stopping a cold or flu developing into a full blown one.
The procedure can also be used as a preventative measure, especially when you have come into contact with people who have the virus. In fact we'll also share with you in our presentation a fairly effective 'Cold & Flu Prevention' method that goes far beyond the benefits of frequent handwashing, high intake of fluids, herbal concoctions and an irregular sleep schedule.
Another 'Cold & Flu Prevention' technique called 'ColdAVOID' we reveal to you that is based on the same science findings used to develop the ColdArrest - FluArrest™ procedure. If the virus can be destroyed before it can affect any cells, there will be no infection and hence, no symptoms.
Imagine being able to go through the entire year or having your children going through the entire year without catching a cold or the flu. This prevention procedure is easier, more convenient and more effective than the first 'Cold & Flu Prevention' method. It may also work on types of flu virus that you may not have yet been immunized for.
Q - How quickly will I see a relief in symptoms after using the ColdArrest - FluArrest™ procedure?
A - Most users will see immediate relief within three to five hours, some may take longer depending on the severity of symptoms. Frequency and duration of colds viruses and influenza will also be reduced.
Q - What is the benefit of using the ColdArrest - FluArrest™ procedure over using the new flu antivirals such as 'Relenza and Tamiflu?'
A - Relenza and Tamiflu are not effective for all viruses, and antivirals are fairly week compared to antibacterials. However, the ColdArrest™ procedure is NOT a substitute for a flu vaccine, and Dr Dimke says he gets a vaccine every year if there is a new strain of virus in the vaccine, and recommends pneumonia vaccines for those over 50.
And, if one is very ill with the flu, trying Relenza and Tamiflu and the ColdArrest - FluArrest™ together may be advisable. Treatments need not be mutually exclusive, so the ColdArrest™ can be looked at as something to add to the arsenal.

Q - Would the ColdArrest - FluArrest™ procedure be effective for 2009 Swine flu (H1N1), if it mutates?
A - This cannot be confirmed, since no tests have been carried out. Thank goodness, as of yet, it has not caused mass fatalities. But since all viruses cannot tolerate high temperatures, the ColdArrest - FluArrest™ procedure has a good chance of helping ward off a full infection, and can be used even before one knows if they have a cold or flu.
Dr Dimke will often use the ColdArrest - FluArrest™ procedure preventively, after attending a gathering, a large family get together and after traveling and sharing air with a couple of hundred people on an airplane!
