That time of the year again when you get pressured to get the new Flu Shot...I will practice this info from Dr Haas.

Fending Off Colds and Flu
Viruses and germs! Ugh – they are everywhere! But that doesn't mean you have to give them a comfy place to make camp. Even when exposed to the nasty bacteria and viruses that cause most common maladies, strong, clean, energized bodies simply don't make very good hosts, and that's why they don't get sick as easily as stressed, toxic, tired bodies.

A vital and vibrant immune system can make things downright unpleasant for invading germs. Thus, regardless of what the cough-syrup, cold-medicine and disinfectant-spray ads may imply, strengthening your own immune system is by far the best way to prevent colds and flu.

Here are a few extra tips to help keep you cold- and flu-free this fall and winter:

Although your skin is an excellent first line of defense against germs, you can help by washing your hands frequently throughout the day. Many of the most common and most dangerous infections are spread through germs on the hands. (Note: Don't assume "antibacterial" soaps are more effective. If overused, they can weaken your body's pH-balanced acid mantle and kill off its healthy bacteria, thus leaving you more vulnerable. The presence of antibacterial soaps in the water supply may also contribute to the development of "superbugs.")
Minimize your exposure to people who are ill, for your sake and theirs.
Even a slightly stuffy nose can result in an upper-respiratory infection. Help keep sinuses clear with an herbal facial steam. Use mint, chamomile, rosemary or lemon verbena and breathe in the herbal mist. Or try a netti pot to rinse your nasal passages.
Increase your intake of fluids through water, tea
or soups.
Avoid excess sugar, alcohol and chemicals in your diet.
In addition to your basic multivitamin, take additional vitamin C, at least 1,000 mg once or twice a day.
Herbals and immune supporters that may protect you from colds and flus include echinacea, astragalus, Siberian ginseng, garlic, co-enzyme Q10 and DMG (dimethylglycine).
Although I do not suggest flu shots for healthy people, they may be necessary for the elderly, for people with chronic illness or asthma, for those who have been prone to the flu in previous years or who cannot risk getting the flu for other reasons.

My friends did a week long hike on the Camino del Norte. They brought along Jackies herbal muscle salve to help get through the adventure! Glad it helped make the experience more enjoyable, thanks for the pics Connie and Janet! My herbals made it to Spain. 😁 i

some great info in this article regarding the up coming cold and flu months... not a fan of shots of any kind... oh except good whiskey haha..

The reason influenza vaccines are not effective is because first, they do not address the viral strains that cause influenza like symptoms, and second, they add an element of toxicity which brings down the immune system. Only strategies which incorporate natural health and immune boosting mechanisms...

A great day at the Charlestown land trusts farmers market. Just one left to finish the summer season🌝. Great people from customers and vendors to the people running the show... thank you for showing the ❤️.

I use oregano oil in my anti bacterial spray. The base is colloidal silver. Just for topical use.

A functional medicine doc dives into its benefits. Spoiler alert: There are tons.

Just found this awesome website! It is cucumber season... get your glucose and hydrate with only 16 calories in one delicious treat.

Cucumbers are far more than a traditional summer vegetable! They are one of the most nutritious and beneficial vegetables to our everyday diet and can be added to a meal to greatly increase nutritional value.
