Guest guest Posted January 8, 2011 Report Share Posted January 8, 2011 Hi Dan, If you get the flu, any version, make sure your adrenals remain supported. If you develop watery diarrhoea, make sure you take enough potassium salt to replace any lost potassium (and maybe some magnesium as well). Though the magnesium is used to get potassium back into the cells, it would take a prolonged period of hypokalemia to require urgent admission to hospital for emergency electrolyte(s) replacement. That may be precipitated by the likes of Swine Flu (H1N1), where the HPA axis is disturbed. Forgetting to take daily medication whilst you brain is seriously affected could prove disastrous, especially if you don't have someone 'looking out' for you. My DW and I have just had one version of flu, can't be sure which, and my DW became confused about what tablets she had taken and when. As a stop-gap, get a tablet dispenser pack that will allow you to physically see what is needed and when ~ you may only need to use it for a week or two. best wishes Bob Your concern is justified ~ keep a note of your medication that others can see at a glance, if needed (a 'medicalert' disc would be useful). > > Hi all > am realy concerned about all this flu pandemic and young healthy ppl dieing and was wondering if having weaker adrenals is like having a death sentence if i get this > have some symptoms of cold and some fatigue but nthing dangerous but just want to know if i need to be careful and take any precautions > please do tell me if i am being a wally!!!! > > Thx > > Dan > > og btw happy new yr and hope everyone is feeling positive about 2011 > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 8, 2011 Report Share Posted January 8, 2011 Dan, you should be taking high doses of vitamin C (3/4000mgs daily, if your bowels will tolerate it, even higher). You should be taking high doses of vitamin D along with other recommended minerals and vitamins. Read the following, this may help give you ideas http://www.suite101.com/content/natural-flu-remedies-a179595 - but the best way to avoid 'flu is to avoid crowded places, open doors with a paper towel if these are used by a lot of people and wipe surfaces used by others, wash your hands regularly etc. Generally make sure you are getting the right diet to help boost your metabolism and do what you can to boost your adrenals, i.e. take Nutri Adrenal Extra with Siberian Ginseng. Luv - Sheila Hi all am realy concerned about all this flu pandemic and young healthy ppl dieing and was wondering if having weaker adrenals is like having a death sentence if i get this have some symptoms of cold and some fatigue but nthing dangerous but just want to know if i need to be careful and take any precautions please do tell me if i am being a wally!!!!

Guest guest Posted January 8, 2011 Report Share Posted January 8, 2011 Beta-glucan is a rising star supplement in the prevention of flu - if you Google it, you'll be very impressed with what you find. Swine flu did not end up being the broad-spectrum killer that it was expected to be last year. National governments lost vast sums of money invested in vaccines against H1N1. My husband's company did extremely well last year because of its Lysol products that people were buying up to eliminate germs. But it never became a pandemic. But if you get H1N1 and HAPPEN to be one of the people negatively impacted by it, it can be a bear. Friends of ours have a 12-year-old son who is now wearing prostheses on both legs due to a double-amputation. He first came down with H1N1, and then while in the hospital being treated for it, he acquired hospital-based infections and pneumonia. The legs couldn't be saved from the infections. So, it definitely was not a pandemic, but after our friends' son's experience, we're definitely still taking immune-boosting supplements to avoid getting sick enough to require hospitalization. Besides Beta-glucan, I also have Sambucol at the ready, and oil of oregano, and we take vitamin D3 daily, and there's a honey syrup product (I forget what it is) that also helps. (Honey being a natural antibiotic.) Everyone have a healthy and happy New Year this year! Cherwyn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 8, 2011 Report Share Posted January 8, 2011 Hello Cherwyn, Beta Glucan sounds to be an excellent product. Can I ask what the best dosage of this is please as I see it appears to range from 3mg. to 100mg.
