Last year i ate an orange or two every day and i don't think i caught so much as a slight cold i also eat at least one vegetable every day as well. Our body's will protect us for the most part if we put the right food groups into it. Now this isn't to say i never get sick, before i started to think differently about what food i put into my body and getting flu vaccine i use to get sick once a month i was doing a high stress job working with cold flu and virus infected people wh...

I am an advocate for influenza vaccine and Pneumovax - starting with the high-risk groups on down. There are thousands of viruses which adversely affect human health but the true influenza viruses are some of the most deadly. I remember thinking when I was a teenager in school and history teaching us that thousands of people have died during flu epidemics that I could understand the very young and very old, but why others in between? I mean, it's just a bug and we've all had bugs.... [ More ]

Jxp & Konane - thank you so much! I'm actually thinking about the Emergen-C - it is getting good reviews in the medical community as a positive boost. We do have a health shop that specializes in teas - about a hundred or more I think - so I would appreciate that list. I know many teas are good for me. One thing I may need to compromise on is the fact that I have eliminated caffeine from my diet after years of consumption in soda. I do not drink coffee - I guess that's not too surprising - no coffee, no tea. K - I love seafood and soups and chowders especially - and I love to cook. I may just take your recipe and add it to the winter list. Something I personally swear by that I'm lacking in the last few months are garlic and onions. The bugs I'm getting seem to be very self-limiting - it's almost like I just get through the beginning to get sick phase and then I'm okay which I hope means my immunity is there just not up to par. I do think the best ideas are to be found not necessarily in the doctor's office and I appreciate your input!... [ More ]

Here's what kills me people who have a cold insist on coughing in their hands and then shaking yours. Kids bring bugs home from school. Women with colds/flu kiss you on your lips. Door knobs shopping cart handles and money all carry these germs it's probably a good idea to get a hold of some hand sanitizer and use it whenever you come in contact with suspected germs. <br
