More Canadians opting for natural remedies

instead of flu shot

We are finally catching up to the other side of the world where the most popular remedy sold is Occilo for the flu. I like “Flu Buster”, by Homeocan, for flu and cold.

The most important thing is to keep your immune system at optimal levels. Do you know what I notice? Most people don’t seem to want to stay in bed and get it over with right away. They want to carry on their lives: have to go to work, have to go out at night, have to meet their commitments – and end up sick forever. What’s wrong with snuggling up in bed with a cup of chicken soup, or green tea, a great book, a good movie, watch a few comedies, a chick flick, with the pooches, or the kitty who won’t get sick from you? I sometimes think I’d like to spend the entire winter like that.

I am not big on vitamins unless it’s for a short period of time as a therapeutic dose, because your body gets used to them and becomes sluggish doing it’s own work. Besides, I’d rather get my vitamins and minerals from chicken soup full of vegetables, green tea, oatmeal, a good cup of minestrone soup. Whatever somebody will make for me so that I can lay in bed….

A reminder for you parents of little ones: homeopathic medicine is safe for your babies!
