So many of my friends and work associates seem to be getting ill lately. Just this week alone 3 people cancelled meetings because they had a cold or the flu. I understand it's cold and flu season, but if you take a few simple precautions and follow a simple supplement protocol at the first symptom you have pretty good chance of avoiding the worst of the winter plagues.
Things I do to avoid catching colds and flu:
Wash hands often with soap.
Avoid "antibacterial" soaps, gels, etc.
Drink plenty of water
Eat lots of raw fresh veggies
Avoid sugar in all forms
Limit fruit to one per day
Teach kids to sneeze down shirts.. NOT on hands, arms or even shoulders
Avoid artificial foods and food additives
Keeps hands away from face
Take Vitamin D supplement daily
Limit foods with acidic reactions
NEVER get a flu shot
Things I do at the first sign of illness:
Take 30,000 IU Vitamin D on day one
Take 5,000 IU Vitamin D on day two, three and four
Take golden seal or echinachea
Take extra zinc
Increase fluid intake
Remove animal products from my diet
Remove all foods that cause acidic reactions
Deep breathing exercises to increase oxygen to cells
I have been following these basic suggestions for at least 6 years. In those 6 years I have had one mild head cold and have not gotten the flu at all. Not even when I've been exposed to sick kids at church or other activities. My younger kids have never been ill with the flu. Between my 6 kids we average two colds (total) for the entire winter season.
