Water Boarding Remedies?

When to Worry and Where to Go

 

If it’s you, you should worry when you feel really, really bad. If it’s your kids? Call the doctor and let them decide whether you should come in or not.

We’ve got a few home remedies that have some solid science behind them (footnote: we’re not doctors and only played pretend ones as children). They’re from an old high school friend (reconnected on Facebook, don’t you just love the modern world?) I posted my worries over a case of Swine Flu at my children’s school and Michelle Brode, commented on my status that her six year old child had just beat the H1N1 using herbal and other immune boosting remedies — probiotics, Vitamin D, Elderberry and Astragalus. While I use probiotics for my digestion and Vitamin D to help me sleep (it helps me sleep as if I spent a day at the beach), I’d never heard that these things could help with the flu.

Go with the Flow

 

I have struggled for years with sinusitis, one of the lovely complications you can get from flu, colds & allergies. What does this mean? I’ve got one hell of an irritated schnoz. But the best way to treat an irritated nose is to not get one in the first place, so I pass on the most underrated and effective method of stopping an infection from taking hold.
