Hi everyone-

I�ve just heard so much in the news about how bad the flu�s gonna be and was wondering if anyone had any products they like to help not get sick! I�ve heard of Vitamin C or nose sprays. I saw a lot of new products at CostCo like this one herbal thing called TriMune, has anyone tried anything like that?

Thanks!

I'm a big fan of Airborne - the supplement developed by a teacher. I just bought a jumbo pack at Costco today.

Hey!

My favorite herbs for staving off a cold or flu are

1. echinacea in tincture form which I take at the first signs of any sickness - two dropperfuls about 3 times a day.

2. Pau d'arco which I take as a tea 3 times a day

3. Licorice root which I take as a tea 3 times a day

Garlic pills would be a good choice as well, since they'll help your immune system build up to dismantle the virus' hold.

Hope this helps! Anyone else?

green blessings,

Leah

Hello, I take echinacea in pill form whenever I start to feel cold or flu coming on. If my co-workers are sniffing and coughing I also take a few pills. It has worked well for the past two years for me.

hahahahaha...

What about flu-shots...
Are they affective

I take this wonderful product called Genesis. It is a nutritional supplement drink and is full of antioxidants and really builds the immune system. Check it out at www.symmetrydirect.com/phadley.

Irish penicillin: boiling water, honey, clove, lemon, whiskey. Mix it all up and quaff it down. It'll set you right in no time. <img src="/images/graemlins/irish.gif" alt="" />

I have to agree with BellaDeb, I am a huge fan of Airborne. The tabs you dissolve in water are not bad, but I prefer the gummy lozenges. Any time one of us in the family is sick the other 3 take Airborne. I would say it has worked 95% of the time. Much better than taking the day off work to watch sick kids, and much cheaper too!
