Every single year.
I get sick every single year, despite my preventative attempts like always getting a flu shot, washing my hands like it’s going out of style and drinking so much water that sitting in a meeting for more than an hour typically means I will have to take a “facilities” break.
My two kids always get a flu shot while my husband year after year refuses it. He might be onto something because he gets sick significantly less than I do. Yet year after year, I insist that the kids and I receive it because it is what is recommended by the Center for Disease Control.
Flu vaccine or not, somehow I am the only one who gets sick in our household. It’s like my kids and husband drop the germs and my body does them the favor or picking them up. Isn’t that just typical? The mom is the one picking up things- even germs!
I have tried all the remedies. Some are pretty good. But I now have what I am going to call a miracle pill when it comes to shortening the length of my colds. I have not been compensated for this post. But when a co-worker suggested this to me and it worked, I knew I had to share.
I am skeptical when it comes to things like homeopathic methods and have never been one to try a naturopathic doctor over a conventional medical doctor. It was out of sheer desperation that I took the plunge to spend money on something I has half expecting to be a disappointment. Some of the advertised benefits include things like boosting the immune system, ridding the system of toxins and killing bacteria from the body.
Moms, it worked. I don’t know exactly how but within a couple of hours of taking two capsules and chugging water, I felt significantly better. What’s even more convincing is that this has been true on more than one occasion so I don’t think it was a fluke. When I have symptoms such as a sore throat, inflamed sinuses and body aches, I am convinced by the benefits of this extract.
In my uncompensated opinion, I highly suggest looking into this to see if it might help to heal your ailments as well.
