So i worked the other day with someone who has bean sick for a week and still had it a little, not completely fealing good. So i usualy use some of that airborn stuff but i need to get some more. Wanted to know what works good for you. Im going on vacation tomarrow so would like NOT to get sick. So what do you do to prevent getting the big, or to cure the bug if you have it. I might already have it but i feal fine atm. So what do you guys do?
I tell my girlfriend that BJ's are the cure for all sickness. :nerd: Ok, seriously, I just load up on vitamins and healthy foods and lots and lots of water. Wash your hands a lot too and try not to touch your face/mouth/nose areas if you are around someone infected.
I dont think ill get sick becouse i feal fine atm but i just want to make sure i dont becouse im giong on my vacation. Want to have lots of fun and not get sick while im there. I do excersixe before i go to bed, just to keep in shape. Nice. I think that the airborne stuff is just like a shot of vitamin C or something, i got some vitamns so ill load up them too. Thanks for the replies guys, keep them coming!
I normally just take Garlic and Echinacea pills every day, obviously not 100%, but I had one cold last year and just getting over one now, which will likely be my only one this year, but its been a doozy, I don't think anyone could have fought this one off, atleast 10 people at my wifes work is off with it, I got it off her, but it wasn't bad enough to stop me play golf last Saturday or put me off work.
Not to mention that they're good for her skin. Personally, I find that a touch of Jim Beam or Johnny Walker applied several times a week does the trick quite nicely. Plus, you gotta always let your liver know who's boss.
Its easy really, just eat well (IE try to be healthy if you can), stay warm when its cold as this is a common issue when cold your body struggles to keep warm and 'destory' any bacteria but because its cold its not as effective.
Not sure, i feal fine but i dont want to get sick becouse of working with a sick man. Lol, i eat helthy after i finish eating this here ice cream. ;D, not eating too much of it though.
My mother swears by Echinacea tea, used to get sick every time she went back to Scotland until a friend told hear about this tea, never got sick traveling since.
I would not recommend taking pills and shots ur are just making your immune system more vulnerable in the long run. For Colds and FLU's anyways
What i mean by shots is, like im taking airborne which is basicly just a tablet you put in water, it desolves and you drink it. And its just a "Shot" Of vitamans and stuff. So its not hurting me in the long run. I was jokeing about the pills. lol. EDIT: Could not find the tea.
This is my understanding of cold and flu, so it may not be completely accurate. I really don't think there is much you can do, if it's a cold or flu strain that your body has never dealt with then i am pretty sure you will become symptomatic. There are things you can do to strengthen the immune system like a lot of the things mentioned before. I think it basically comes down to immunity and anti bodies, you can't catch the same cold or flu virus twice. It's like the measles, once you've had it, you can't get it again because once you fight it off you develop anti bodies which kill the virus before you become symptomatic. The same goes for cold and flu virus, but there are so many different strains that constantly mutate so we can't avoid them altogether. Frankly i think a lot of things are scams, you can strengthen your immune system but this will only really help lessen the duration of a cold or flu infection and not prevent one after (sufficient) exposure.
