cold/ flu

[soserious]

ok, so i felt my left forearm and its very tender to the touch- especially on the top.
this tells me im about to get hit by yet another cold or flu.
(i have a very weak immune system (these days).

i know the fruits, drink lots of liquids ect but any more advice you got to help me/ anyone move it out of my system faster?
im usually ill with cold/flu for at least 1-2 weeks, often 3 or 4. then i get sick within a month or two again and again.
bah.

[soserious]

im gonna drink a lot over he next couple days, take 1,000mg vit C and tasteless garlic caps- try to be lazy too. even though im real strssed and got a bunch to do still.

I love that herb!

I prefer a cocktail of vitamin C and echinacea. Garlic helps too, I've heard.

i took a flu shot. But it doesn't prevent it 100%.

For joint pain, take a piece of fresh ginger and boil it in water to make "tea" of some sort. Works wonders, really... with my running habits I often get some pain here and there, and ginger takes care of them every time. You can use it to strengthen digestion, improve circulation, or ward off colds, sore throat and the flu too.

How to make ginger tea?

4 cups of water
2 inch piece of fresh ginger root
optional: honey and lemon

Peel the ginger root and slice it into thin slices. Bring the water to a boil in a saucepan. Once it is boiling, add the ginger. Cover it and reduce to a simmer for 15-20 minutes. Strain the tea. Add honey and lemon to taste.
