Thanks for the first morning laugh ;^)

Knew an old indian trapper when I was a kid. Each spring he would find a skunk litter, take a couple of babies and squeeze their stink glands saving the fluid into a small medicine bottle. Then starting with the first cool days, he would take a sniff from the bottle each morning. He swore that he never got flu or colds.

I suspect it was more because no-one could get close enough to him to give him a virus.

Thanks for sharing!

My immune system is not strong [cancer survivor for over 20 years!] so I take, on the recommendation of my doctor [D.O./Air Force Flight Surgeon] 1000 mg of Vit C a day, and 3 capsules of Enzymatic Therapies' IP-6.
He also said, as the article did, lots of liquid, NO sugar [it destroys the immune system, especially in the mucus membranes of the mouth and nose], NO dairy and no fever-reducers of any kind.
Almost all therapies that work do the same thing: encourage and support the body is what it is naturally trying to do, which is to raise its temperature and acidify the environment.
The other thing I haven't seen mentioned is to listen to your body. If you get that icky, I'm going to be sick feeling, start treating it and SLOW DOWN. Let your body use its energy to fight the virus, not go to work. You are not doing anyone a favor when you bring them a virus.

Honeysuckle Information.... http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles...

This is my go-to for colds... http://modernsavageliving.com/index.php/...

I have also picked up some Honeysuckle flower. It's supposed to work against viruses.

Another good herbal is supposed to be elderberry syrup. I need to get some.
