Flu season has reared its ugly head again. Besides being particularly vicious this year, we also have to contend with the coronavirus. Oh, joy! And is it just me or have people completely lost their sense of flu etiquette? Cover your mouths, please. It drives me nuts. Anyway, every plane, train and doctor’s office that I’ve visited lately (and sadly, that is still a lot) has been chock full of folks coughing up their lungs. Personally, I have been protecting myself with the best flu fighter on the planet: Kick-Ass Immune Activator from WishGarden Herbs.
Kick-Ass Immune Activator
I found Kick-Ass Immune Activator by accident. I was in Telluride a few winter’s ago and my brother, who is a ski instructor so he is around people ALL the time, was sick as a dog. Since it was Christmas, he didn’t have any days off so I went to the local pharmacy to get him some stuff for his runny nose, cough and aching head. The woman behind the counter gave me Kick-Ass saying that it was the best stuff she’d ever used. My brother took it that night and the next morning, he was fine.
Made from a unique blend of herbs to provide your body’s:
- immune
- respiratory
- lymphatic
Systems with the support they need to prevent and fight off the flu, it tastes a bit pungent, but boy, does it do the trick. I have been taking 3-4 droppers, once a day, in water as a preventive measure. And on those days where I feel like I am fighting something, I up my dosage to 3-4 times a day. So far, so good. And given the fact that my immune system still isn’t back to 100%, this is seriously a ringing endorsement. Order some today here. Buy the 2oz dropper and the 4oz refill. I take the 2oz bottle with me whenever I travel as you can see by how well-loved it looks.
Other Flu Fighters
In terms of other flu fighters, I stand by my recommendations in this blog posting, but would add: ACS Extra Strength Advanced Cellular Silver. This spray contains 200 parts per million of energized silver molecules, suspended in ultra-pure deionized water. While many in western medicine (and the FDA) do not believe in the benefits of ingesting colloidal silver, I have found this spray to be beneficial. I used it during my first round of chemo when my immune system was seriously shot, and never got sick.
I only take it on the days where I have been exposed to the flu (i.e. after a visit to the doctor’s office where the woman next to me has the plague) — 6 sprays, twice a day. While you don’t want to overdo it (there are adverse side effects to swallowing too much silver), these small doses can really provide an extra layer of support for your immune system.
Sleep is Truly the Best Medicine
All of the homeopathics in the world, however, can not replace the healing benefits of a good night’s sleep. Unfortunately, with age, sleep can become an issue, particularly for women. Hormones and stress create the perfect storm for a restless night. I have tried all kinds of sleep remedies over the years, but two things that I come back to as proven “winners” are:
- Natural Calm
- relaxing hypnosis download
Natural Calm (buy it here) is a magnesium supplement powder. I prefer the unflavored, original formula and take 2 t every night in warm water. Besides calming you the f**k down, it’ll also keep you regular as rain.
In terms of the relaxing hypnosis download, I love the ones from my friend Cynthia Morgan (buy them here). But if you prefer meditation, there are tons of meditation apps for sleep. For me, these things work not only because they help to relax my overactive fight-or-flight response, but also because the ritual of doing them tells my body that it’s time to sleep. It’s like Pavlov’s dog. These days, I barely make it through 5 minutes of the download before I’m off to the land of nod. Totally divine!
