Gathers Protective Forces...

Swine, swine, go away...

Have distinctly uncomfortable throat and the beginnings of a cough and I feel rather nauseous.... Please, don't let this be swinish.

It wouldn't surprise me, however.

I am going to take ColdFX and echinacea and think powerful anti-flu thoughts.

Oh, no! But yes, the echinacea should help (don't know ColdFX but it *sounds* good), and it might be worth trying the gargling with hot salty water that was mentioned in that health advisory sent to child_lit?

Oh - interesting that you don't know ColdFX. I think it's a Canadian thing. It's actually a type of ginseng that has been standardized and is supposed to help the immune system. I have found that a combination of it and echinacea has so far warded off nasties. Fingers crossed.

But I'll try the gargling. thx ;-)

*sends anti-flu vibes in your direction*

I hope you can fight this off.

Oh dear! I'm a bit late seeing this, so I hope you're feeling better by now!

I hope you kick the crap out of potential swine flu. It would suck if you got it :(

Also, oil of oregano is really great at kicking cold/flu butt. If you make a smoothie & put a few drops on the top it goes right down. (Then you have pizza-burps for the next few hours but it works!)
