when my elder daughter catch cold or flu from the school, i put mask when i come close to her so i don’t catch the flu and give it to my 11 months old baby. and i ALWAYS wash my hands before i touch my baby. the doctor told me, even if i don’t get sick (maybe because my immunity system is strong enough to fight it) I still can carry the virus from my daughter and give it to the baby. this way works several times with me.

Thanks for the pointers Talli.

I’m just getting over the flu now but have still eaten well,ensured I take all my vitamins and have rested plenty.

As doctors can’t do much to help fight your cold or flu, I find the naturopath to be a very valuable source of info and mine helped me out tremendously.

Natural is the only way to go!

If people followed #1 and #2 carefully they’d get fewer colds. These 2 things alone can probably cut colds by a hefty percent. I am washing my hands much more often than I used to, especially after touching door handles and things others have touched. Also, I try to keep my immune system as strong as possible so that going into the cold and flu season doesn’t get me down. Easier said than done, I know.

While Vitamin C doesn’t prevent a cold, antioxidants of which vitamin C is can help the body recover from it more quickly. Vitamins A, C , E and Selenium act as Free Radical scavengers sweeping up the cellular debris left over by the attack of the immune cells. So, while taking vitamin C isn’t going to make a cold go away, it can shorten the length that you suffer from the symptoms and if you take antioxidants regularly, you will be less likely to suffer as long!
