A strong, healthy, viable immune system is the very best prevention to keep all winter viruses at bay. A few very simple strategies can go a long way in boosting a vulnerable immune system or enhancing a reasonably effective one.

It is important to take a few simple avoidance measures too. Such as;
•     Avoid    touching    public    access    surfaces    such    as    door    handles,  lift buttons, telephones, (alcohol wipes or gels are useful)
•     Keep    in    general    good    health.    Exercise    regularly,    eat    healthy,  nutritious meals, drink plenty of water and obtain sufficient sleep
•     Wash    hands    frequently    and    avoid    touching    face    with    unclean    hands

•     Avoid    close    contact    with    those    who    are    sick

Preventative supplements
•     Zinc    –    15mg    twice    per    day     
•     Echinacea    –    5ml    twice    per    day    OR
•     Andrographis    –    5ml    twice    per    day
•     Vitamin    C    –    1000mg    twice    per    day,    in    a    well    balanced    powder  form including bioflavanoids

A herbal throat spray is also handy when traveling or when in crowded spaces.

For    acute    infection    a    herbal    blend    made    up    of    Echinacea;    Elderberry;     Andrographis; and Hypericum* taken at 7ml three times per day
is    very    effective.    Ensure    this    blend    is    prescribed    by    your    practioner,      please    do    not    self    prescribe!    Also    increase    vitamin    C    to    5000mg    in      small    divided    doses    and    REST!
