I caught the Flu AGAIN, Argghhh!

Last Saturday I started feeling the tickle in my sinuses that was telling me either this is allergies or you're catching another cold -- and as usual I just drank some tea and hoped it would go away. By dinner time I knew I had a cold, or worse, the flu -- it was that fast. As some of my friends know, I just got over the flu in mid-December. I ran to Walgreens in the middle of the night to buy some Airborne Formula but it was already too late to stop it.

So, after a few days of fever, coughing, sniffling, and hacking, I dropped some of my Airborne in a cup of warm water and came across this Fresno Bee article by Joan Obra (free online membership required with the Fresno Bee is required to read it). Some of her advice is too late for me this time but hopefully it will help one of you avoid a wintery virus. It's advice that I'm going to take to heart and do my best to follow for as long as I can. I'll let you know next winter if it worked or not... :)

Here's another good article, Natural Health Prevention for Colds and Flu. This one is from WebMD and you don't need a membership just to read it! :)
