What has worked for us (stopping the flu)

[Guest guest]

Ok, 12 year old daughter* got the flu. Bad. (She is the one who fights me taking

her supplements, she eats crap foods when she can, etc.. She also doesn't wash

her stinkin' hands & won't ven cut her toenails AYEEEE!!!) Yes, I love her

dearly.

MY 15 year old autistic son (who NEVER fights the supplements, special diet,

etc...[i have been doing this with him for 13 years, I guess he is used to it])

He, Hubby and I avoided getting the flu taking these (along with forcing my

daughter to take) supplements...

* WHo knew at times my " normal " daughter can be more difficult than my

" autisitc " son?!?!? ha!

Elderberry!! (You can get it in liquid form from Vitaminshoppe.com) Also, their

blueberry liquid drops have elderberry in it.

Echinacea/Goldenseal

Mushroom Ultra 10 complex

Probiotics - THESE ARE A MUST (at all times)My favorite is Nature's Way

Primadophilus original.

1000 mg Vit. C

2000 mgs. Vitamin D (Remember I have big kids, adult doses)

Turmeric

sucking organic zinc lozenges

Putting tea tree oil on the bottom of daughter's feet at night. (I read it from

another list and thought what a great idea!) Daughter shoots me the death look

each time I put it on, Yay!

She has been sick for 2+ weeks (much better now, THANK YOU JESUS!) and so far,

so good for the rest of us.
