Preventing and curings colds and flus

[Howlin Mad Missy]

just to add. They get in to your system quicker if you take it as a tincture rather than pills.

Good luck, I hate getting colds

Make sure that you wash your hands when ever you can and avoid touching your face as much as possible.

You should get some of that anti bacterial handwash... I had some when I worked in the gyms (you've got to touch and handle equipment that 100s of people have sweated on! quite common for a gym instructor to get a cold) and it killed the germs on your hands and then made it harder for new ones to breed (obviously you've still got to wash your hands as normal on top of this)

Another good thing you can use is a nasal spray.... you can get ones that kill the germs in your nose and then make you sneeze them out... won't cure a cold... nothing can but they can prevent a cold if you do it in the first day when you noise feels a bit tickly etc.

Don't really think there's anything else you can do other than trying to rest, eat and drink well.

Manuka Honey is a good way of boosting the immune system, although it is expensive!

Cancer patients use it to boost their defences and athletes may benefit from it as it does help you.
I take it daily.

It depends, but two sppons in a cup of boiling water has been doing the trick for me.
It's horrible mind you!

When you train hard its inevitable you'll feel bad from time to time.

I agree, but 4 times since September is ridiculous.

That is pretty tough.

I find if I'm stressed for prolonged periods I get unwell....times of exams, that sort of thing.

NO!!!! Not in hot water. It knackers the properties of manuka. Take it off the spoon.

And yes, it doesn't taste like regular honey. If you've ever been round stables it tastes of that.

Eat more vegetables, add garlic, onion, herbs and spices to your foods, drink more green teas, etc. In general make sure you take in more phytochemicals because many of them have anti-bacterial traits, like for example allicin, found in garlic. Chicken soup is known as Jewish penicillin for that same reason, phytochemicals. Often forgotten because they do not supply any energy but they're very important for our well being.
