SHOO FLU, DON'T BOTHER ME

Well it is that time a year again. The children are back in school and fall is around the corner, so unfortunately the flu season is probably approaching as well. When it comes to colds and flu, definitely,"prevention is worth a pound of cure". During the cold season, we are closed up more than ever and are exposed to the germs and viruses that can result in illness. While some individuals just inherit stronger constitutions and thus do not get sick as often, all of us can take some measure to enhance our immune systems making us more resistant to those nasty bugs.

Most of us know the value of taking extra Vitamin D, Vitamin C and Zinc during the winter, but there are several other vitamins, herbs, etc that can be beneficial. Because most of our immune system is in our colon, taking a good multi strain probiotic, such as Enterobiotic, is one of the best things you can do. Then if you happen to be one that is especially susceptible, you might also want to add a good combination of immune boosting herbs like is found in Echina Comp for adults, or Tiny Tot Echinacea for children. Then there is the flu shot, of course, which is available here. However, if you cannot or would prefer not take the flu shot, I would love to visit with you about a homeopathic alternative I also have available. I have homeopathic remedies to treat and to prevent the flu, that have no side effects and are very effective.
