Well we have made it several of the winter months without getting the flu but now February is here and almost the entire family is down with the flu. Out of the seven people in our family five of us were unlucky enough to get it. It has been almost a week now and the only two survivors are me and my mom. I hate being sick so I think that I might be taking more remedies than the sick ones. Most of our remedies are homemade like our master tonic (a mix of ginger root, horseradish root, peppers, garlic and onions fermented in apple cider vinegar for three months to a year). We also make colloidal silver and we have been making lots of hot teas and some cough drops. Another thing we have been taking is vitamin C packs and papaya enzymes (which are supposed to help stomach pains).
All of these things are good for an ordinary cold but not for the flu. After 2/3 of the family sick for over a week. During that week I have felt a little bit queasy and an occasional sore throat but other than that I have been feeling fine. I did not get the flu so that may be why this is is working for me.
Thanks for upvoting and any tips would be greatly appreciated.
