i'm trying like hell to stay away from all of the sick people in this office, but they aren't making it easy.

one woman refuses to go home. and when she coughs, it sounds like a bulldog barking. she also resembles said canine breed.

but mostly, it's just sniffly people walking around with issues, clearing their throats, and looking miserable.

remind me of preventative measures for not becoming sick? i'm thinking vitamin C, lots of water, and avoiding everyone as much as i can. there has to be more.

it's hardly your fault. And no Kabbalah, just the pale skin/long dark hair thing. she has the same brow shape, maybe.

I work with kids so it is REALLY hard to avoid getting sick all the time. I think though that my immune system has gotten pretty strong from working in such a germy environment.

there's a bad virus going around up here.... I caught it and had it only 3 days....everyone else is still coughing. This is what I take every day

3000mg vit c (ascorbic acid w/ rose hips) chewable
3 garlic capsules or/ 2 cloves chopped raw garlic
4 echinacea
omega 3's
1 vitamin A
2 vitamin E 400mg
B Complex
1 tsp colloidal silver
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar diluted in water
blueberries - fresh or frozen

Vitamin C is a great natural decongestant, and helps the headaches when taken in large amounts spread out over the day.

Gypsy cold care tea is good too, but don't drink this if you're allergic to certain pollens. It can make the cold worse.

cool mist vaporizer - add a cap full of hydrogen peroxide and sleep with it nearby - the h20 increases oxygen to your cells, improving immune function and speeds healing

natural way to breathe when stopped up - 1 bottle of plain saline nasal spray + 3 drops tea tree oil. Shake this up, spray once or twice each side....works better than sudafed

For coughs that won't go away, at night, that cough syrup won't help - put vicks vapo rub on the bottom of your feet, and put socks on. It takes a few min, but the cough goes away so you can sleeeeeep.

Sounds like an angry workplace. What kind of issues are we talking about here?

i only say that cause i listened to some talk radio going on about them for about an hour the other day while i was driving around.

i dont have any experience with tissue salts.

i dont even know if thats what they're called, but thats what it sounded like on the radio.

i hocked up this loogie with all these tiny white chunks in it and was all like EEEEEEEEEW.

then i remembered that i'd been drinking that aloe mineral water stuff with said tiny white chunks in it and some had gone down the wrong way. not quite as EEEEEEEEEEW.
