The holidays are upon us and while it’s “the most wonderful time of the year,” it’s also a time where a lot of people get sick with a cold or the flu!  But that doesn’t have to include you.  Because there are 8 safe, effective, natural ways to help prevent sickness during the holidays and all year round!

There is an interesting phenomenon in mainstream medicine that I call “running on the white coat treadmill.”  It occurs when you go to the doctor for a problem, maybe have some tests, receive your diagnosis and are given a prescription for a medication.  You take the drug but you don’t feel better or you start suffering side effects, so you go back to the doctor and get a second prescription.

It’s that time of year.  You may suddenly find yourself hit by waves of it “coming out both ends” (vomiting and diarrhea), plus nausea, fatigue, chills, headache and low-grade fever, and feel this way for about 24-72 hours.  Say hello to the stomach flu!  The reason for that is your immune system takes a hard hit during this time of year from stress, working long hours, traveling and eating rich holiday foods that are heavy in refined carbs and sugars…so it is not as effective at protecting you as it should be.  But luckily there are ways you can help bounce back from the stomach flu and start feeling much better, FAST!

You can tell that fall is here because all the local pharmacies have huge signs telling you to “GET YOUR FLU SHOT!”  Although most doctors and pharmacies push flu shots as your best protection against the flu, the actual statistics say otherwise.  Let’s take a closer look at what you probably don’t know, but must know, about flu shots.

We all have days when we’re tired, whether it’s due to staying up late, fighting an illness or working long hours.   But when being tired becomes your norm and not the exception, then it’s time to look and see what’s going on.  Here are 8 possible reasons why you’re always tired, along with ways you can start feeling more energized—fast!

I think it’s safe to say most people think that viruses and bacteria are bad, dangerous and something that should be avoided at all cost.  Well, that’s not entirely true. As a matter of fact, sometimes they are even good guys!
