You may have already noticed that cold/flu season has begun and that more people are getting sick this year. It doesn't help that Omicron has very similar symptoms of cold and flu, where it is more upper respiratory congestion. A big reason that we are having more people with cold/flu this year, is the fact that we are "out and about" and socializing more and not wearing masks as often. Last year, we were all a bit more cautious and still taking preventitive measures and that was able to help us all keep from getting sick from anything. This year, however, with the addition of vaccines and improved methods of treatments from Covid and its variants, we are able to begin to get back to a "normal" life again - and this means increased exposure to colds/flu as we have in the past.

My best advice: Continue to wash hands and surfaces regularly. Wear a mask in public, and even in the office - especially if someone is coughing or sneezing a lot! Drink lots of good water, eat foods high in antioxidants (vegetables people!), and get a good nights sleep. You can add supplements like BioProtect, or Smart Silver, or Zinc to help boost immune system; but if your body is run down, tired, and over stressed, that is the perfect environment for viruses to live.

Also, keep on hand Gelsemium 30c homeopathic, Oscillococcinum, Lymph Tone I and Mucinease to help with symptoms. If you think you were exposed to Omicron - take a test. Be aware, many home tests can give a false negative - but they do not give a false positive. If you test positive with a home test, you are positive. And we can help with that too!
