Thread: Side line from our endeavors. Is anyone else suffering from

the "crud" that seems to be running rampant? I'm tired of being sick! It's all I can do to function and I want to stay on top of my goals but at the same time I feel like garbage.

Dr says is a virus that is is "going around". Drink lots of fluids - especially water. Yesterday I swear I went through the equivalent of a large box of kleenex through the house.

Anyone have any other suggestions than Vicks, fluids, NyQuil-DayQuil, etc.?

This is getting annoying!!!

I have always felt the way you have in the past...every winter I get some sort of crud....one of my co-workers hasn't taken a sick day in over 8 years ...so Iasked her "what's your secret"....she suggested I try T J Clark...Polyphytogenic (Complete Mind & body System)it's a dietary supplement...I ordered it from www.T.J.Clarkminerals.com...I don't know...but so far this winter I have not been sick....I am in contact with everyone at work and they come in to work sick...and so far I am OK.... not pushing anything, but all I can say is that so far this year I have not been sick....I have only been taking it for the last 4 months ...and I will continue....good luck

PEDIALITE [sp] for babies but will rehydrate you and boost electrolytes.

I usually don't get sick but this winter was bad. Respiratory problems mostly.

Try Ricola Nature's Protection Vitamin C drops. Comes in three different flavors, Orange Mint, Elderberry and Cranberry. On the package it says, "helps support immune system."

Check it out at: www.ricolausa.com.

These things are amazing.

Sorry to hear you are not feeling well. About a year or so ago we found out about the benefits of Colloidal Silver. Have your ever heard of this? It can be taken every day as a dietary supplement or when you feel you are coming down with something.

Thanks everyone for the suggestions. I will give these things a try and see which one works for me. I've been using Zicam but it's not fending off the issues. The lack of sleep because of the coughing, etc., finally got to me. I tried one of the "drowsy" formulas just to get some sleep and it appears to have worked to allow me 4 hours of rest.

I guess I'm going to have to visit the Dr., too, tomorrow to make sure I don't need an anti-biotic. It's been a long, cold winter!

I tried something new this winter . . . I have two small kids AND go to school/clinics full time (of course without government help or handouts) so I can't afford to get sick. Every day I take Vitamin C, a multi-vitamin and fish oil. I haven't even had a sniffle.


. . . now if I can only find something from being tired all the time that would be great!!

I KNOW HOW YOU FEEL SAFARI. I ACTUALLY HAD THE STOMACH VERSION OF THAT....TWICE. I GOT REALLY SICK AND THEN SOMEWHAT BETTER. THEN JUST WHEN I WAS FULLY RECOVERING I GOT IT AGAIN. THREE MONTHS ALTOGETHER THAT I WAS SICK OR RECOVERING. ANYONE...ANYONE....ANY SUGGESTIONS ON HOW TO PREVENT VIRUSES WOULD BE SO GREATLY APPRECIATED. I WILL HAPPILY TRY EACH AND EVERY SUGGESTION.
