Building your defences for the cold and flu season

The cold and flu season is on its way are you ready? There are some very simple safeguards you can set in place in your home. Teaching that it’s a courtesy to cover your mouth and nose when coughing and sneezing helps to keep germs to a minimum. Talk to your children about the importance of thoroughly washing their hands. Taking vitamin C and a good multi-vitamin can boost the immune system to fight through illness faster and more completely. Ester C is a patented formula ensuring you of maximum potency and absorbability. Setting these simple guidelines into place in your home will give you the upper hand on disease control.

If, after all of your efforts to avoid the flu, you start to get that 'oh no, I'm not feeling too well feeling' I highly recommend "oscilococcinum". Also known as "oscilo" for short, this homeopathic remedy is nearly a miracle. I have used it twice in the last 25 years and aside from one day under the weather, avoided the full onset of the flu.
The key to its affectiveness is to take it as soon as you start to feel ill. It is pleasant to take, inexpensive and is safe for children. Pregnant women would need to check with their health care provider. It's harder to have your young children tell you when they are at the onset of the flu, so keep an eye out for sudden symptoms such as sore throat, fever, etc. I keep a box handy at the beginning of the flu season and go over the syptoms again with my family so they are aware.
