Strengthen Your Immune System to Minimize the Effects of the Flu (or Keep From Getting it at
ALL!)
The media hype would have us believe that preventing or surviving the flu is all about the flu shot. That just isn't
true! In fact, the flu shot can be quite dangerous.
Some safe, effective, and time
tested strategies include getting plenty of sleep, enjoying plenty of
natural sunlight (see our section on Vitamin D), and
arming yourself with several
natural supplements to help equip your immune system "soldiers".
Annika's Favorite Immune Boosting
Products
OregaResp
 OregaRESP
is nature's most powerful natural antibiotic for bronchial and sinus
infections! You will be amazed at how quickly your cough disappears
due to its
natural anti-spasmodic activity minimizing bronchial spasms. It
contains wild oregano and spice extracts which boost immunity and
support
respiratory health.
OregaRESP
is the product you must keep stocked in your medicine cabinet at all
times. Take at the first sign of a cough or sinus infection.
You will be blown away at how
quickly it works! And, this product is safe for all ages (assuming you
can get your child to swallow capsules).
Muco Coccinum
For over 11 years, Muco Coccinum has been our most popular homeopathic remedy for prevention of flu and colds in adults and children. Why? It's so easy to
take and so effective. Just dissolve one tablet under your tongue once a week for prevention.
How does it work? Muco Coccinum is
a homeopathic
medicine that gently activates
the body's natural defense mechanisms to protect itself from contracting
the flu-bug. So, when you start to get achy and feel
the sniffles coming in, don't
think "oh, no, I've got the flu!" Instead, take 1 tablet of Muco Coccinum every 3 hours until symptoms subside. You can
still prevent a full onset of flu-like symptoms!
Immune Support Kit for Kids
When you have young children or
infants, the over-the-counter medicine aisle is a scary place. Read
just a few labels and you will realize that many
medications  contain ingredients that should never go into your
child's body, and do nothing more than mask the symptoms.
The Immune Support Kit for Kids is
the first and
only completely natural liquid
nutritional program formulated by a Homeopathic Pediatrician especially
for infants & children. Take one of each product
once daily for prevention during
the flu season, or three times daily to treat existing infections to
support the immune system.
Vitamin D
Did you know that research suggests Vitamin D is better than the swine flu vaccine at stopping H1N1 infections?
That's because Vitamin D deficiency is our country's newest epidemic, and our historically low levels of this vitamin
are partly responsible for our flu outbreaks.
Vitamin D is a basic building
block necessary for the a healthy, active immune system.
 And
90% of people in the US have a deficiency of
Vitamin D! If you live in a
cold climate any part of the year, or work indoors, you must take your
vitamin D.
We ALL need to take a minimum
of 1,000 IU of vitamin D per day or get 30 minutes of direct sunshine
with no sunscreen 3-4x a week (and four times more for
those with dark or black
skin). Vitamin D deficiency is compromising your ability to fight off
the flu!
The solution? Vitamin D Synergy will be an important weapon in your arsenal against the flu. Taken once daily, it will help activate your immune system to respond to any viral infection (not just H1N1 or the seasonal flu).
Protein Snacks
Snacktime can actually be a great time to boost your
immune system with one of our UltraLean Gluco Support Bars.
This protein bar
contains vitamins to support
healthy neurological and cognitive function. Better yet, they come in a
variety of yummy flavors: Chocolate, Peanut
Butter Crunch, and Mocha. The
Crispy Rice UltraLean Gluco Support Bar is particularly
popular!
Garlic
 Garlic
has long been used medicinally. It is
known for its antibacterial,
antiviral and antifungal properties and can prevent infections from
taking hold and spreading. A daily serving of two raw garlic
cloves will provide you with the
bulbous herb's healthy benefits. Better yet, avoid the socially
unpleasant aspects of garlic by using Garlic 7000™.
Its special coating
allows release in the small
intestine instead of the stomach. Burping of garlic odor is virtually
eliminated!
