Colds, Flu and Other Winter Miseries

Got a cold coming on? Would rather not get it? (that's a no-brainer, right?)
Here's the first line of defense I use: there are several options in each category- find which works for you !

PICK ONE or more in EACH category or rotate.
remember to try large doses the first couple days
at least 3-5 times daily

-2 elderberry combo chewables
-1 teaspoon Combination CBG
- rub oregano or Guardian essential oil on the bottom of the feet

take antioxidants
-1 teaspoon NSP Vitamin C Ascorbates every hour or till bowel tolerance (that means the stools get loose) if that occurs cut back to 1/2 teaspoon every hour. or use NSP Citrus Bioflavonoids or chewable C , one every half hour

Take immune stimulants
