Sickness. It seems to be rampant around here lately. We get over one cold and the next one hits within three months. Argh. This time, it struck both my kids on the same day- fever, cough, sore throat…you name it. I have been coughed on, kissed, or shared toilet seats..with two feverish kids and amazingly have NOT YET GOTTEN SICK.
3 Months Ago, Whole Foods sent me a press release on immune building products for the flu season. Our flu season seems to by cyclical- every few months, we have a new viral infection. And, you know, it sucks. I hate seeing my kids sick. The weird thing is that I have not gotten sick at all. Between my Whole Foods press release and my Facebook account, I ran a series of questions yesterday on what to take in case of sickness or even possible sickness. The answers I got ranged from eating whole garlic cloves to Zirmac to 2000 miligrams of Vitamin C (Emergen C) to tumeric to cayenne pepper to kale and the list goes on…..I am no expert on this subject, but, the products below are the ones that have been working for me – as I have not been sick!
Wellness Formula manufactured by Source Naturals. Basically, it’s a herbal defense complex with garlic, echinacea, elderberry extract, and a bunch of other herbs that I can’t pronounce. I take it as soon as I feel any scratchy throat, head ache or in times of the kids being sick!
Emergen – C, 1000 miligrams per packet.
Fish Oil- Your choice on brand.
SLEEP. Try to get an extra hour in bed. I know that has a lot to do with everything!
What do you all take in the event of sickness or preventing sickness?
P.S. Whole Foods provided me with an 8 day supply of the Welless Formula and I have since repurchased at my local health food store.
