Well, the flu season is upon us. And this year, it appears, there will not be enough flu vaccine to go around. What can you do so that you do to ensure that you do not become a flu statistic?
I have not taken the flu shot for a number of years, and this is what has worked for me. First, keep a good, strong immune system. Ensuring that I take a good, balanced vitamin and mineral supplement is a start. Then around the first of November each year I start taking something to enhance my immune system. There are a variety of natural products that do this.
~ Echinacea
~ Elderberry Combination
~ Noni juice
~ Thai-Go (mangosteen fruit juice drink)
~ Defense Maintenance
~ Immune Stimulator
~ THIM-J – activates the thymus gland to produce more T-cells
~ Plenty of Vitamin C
These will usually keep me from having any flu symptoms. But in the event that I forget to take my supplements, or we get a particularly virulent flu strain, and I do start to feel any symptoms, there is another set of products, any of which can ensure that I don’t get “down with the flu”.
~ VS-C – Personal favorite, a blend of Chinese herbs that kill virus
~ Colloidal Silver – a liquid that kills virus on contact
~ Influenza Remedy – a homeopathic flu remedy
~ Tea Tree Oil – An anti-viral essential oil; mist it in the house
~ High Potency Garlic – a known anti-viral and antiseptic
~ Zinc Lozenges with Echinacea and Vitamin C
If you fail to keep ahead of it, and the flu actually gets to you, here are some products to help with the discomfort while the list above kills the virus.
~ ALJ – will help alleviate the congestion
~ FV – will help when there is fever and vomiting
~ Boneset – will help with the achiness
~ Echinacea & Golden Seal – strong immune help for a few days only
~ Peppermint Oil or Tei-Fu Oil – rub them on to help with the aches
~ Drink plenty of warm lemon water to prevent dehydration
Stay ahead of the flu and stay healthy this winter!
