Garlic will do the job. One or two cloves raw. Get used to it!

We were talking about mononucleosis, which is a virus as well, but IT is spread through saliva, so it’s nicknamed the ‘Kissing Disease’. Garlic stopped her from kissing..............

But elderberry tincture will. It pretty much destroys virus ability to attach to healthy cells. We make our own and take it everyday during flu season.

All that D3 from the sun likely killed it.

I don’t know, for sure, about colds but... Vitamin C supplements do wonders for my gums. I don’t get a lot of Vitamin C in my diet. (keto) If I don’t take it, my gums get sore and bleed like stuck pigs when I go to the dentist for cleaning.

Even if I just take them a few days before going to the dentist, they always comment on how healthy my gums look. And, I don’t get canker sores when I accidently bite my lip if I’m taking it.

Besides that, the ones I take daily taste great! :-)

It may not be a flu preventative but it does help you maintain your overall health, which will help if you catch the virus.

Take high doses of C and D and magnesium.

*NOT* the ‘RDA’ minimum... 10 times that, until you notice the difference.

This is similar to the recipe we use. We make about three pints per season of it.

[[Vitamin D3 in a multi-vitamin along with vitamin K2 is the best defense against flu bugs.]]

Take the “Vit D Hammer”

It’s a one time 50,000 iu dose to ‘hammer the flu’ with- Yes, it’s safe to take that much at once- but don’t keep taking it daily- take it just one time in a week- or maybe it’s two weeks-

Also Sambucol is good to take for some, but can cause something called ‘cytokine crisis’ fro m what I’ve heard- I have never had it happen- but do some research and decide for yourself- Sambucol is supposed to be more effective than Tamiflu- supposedly-

Zinc in another great one to take during flu- it’s also a great preventative, and if you can dissolve some and get it into nostrils, it kills the virus right where it gets into your system BUT- there is a warning about that- Zinc in nose has caused permanent loss of smell in some folks- so they discontinued it in Zicam- so again- do your research first and decide for yourself if you wanna risk it- (Note- million of people took zicam with zinc nasal swabs and were just fine- only a very few lost their smell- and likely it was due to overloading their noses with the stuff like some are apt to do- they think if a little is good, a lot must be better-

You could also use alcohol, isopropyl, which kills virus cells- in nostrils and around nose if you think someone has been sick around you- I think alcohol is pretty safe if it gets in nose- but do not overdo it and do some research on it- it should be safe around and slightly in nose- but again -research it and decide for yourself- the nose is the ‘hot spot’ for getting the virus-

it certainly won’t hurt to try it if God forbid you get a flu- if it doesn’t work- oh well- no big loss- if it does- Yay- Try to Vit D hammer too- see my post above for that info- it certainly won’t hurt anything- and may just knock a flu or cold on it’s butt-
