It\’s one of those days. My eyes are watery. My nose is stuffy. My body is achy. And I don\’t want to do anything.
The common cold strikes once again.
If my friend, Dr. Morgan, was in his office today, I\’d be sitting in his comfy chair with an IV in my arm. He\’s got this great mixture of antioxidants that kicks the immune system into high gear and usually fends off this stuff before it gets really bad.
Alas, it is a Saturday and I am stuck at home. Blech.
I stay away from the over-the-counter cold medicines. Most of them are little more than bandaids to take away the symptoms. But in doing so, they get in the way of the body\’s natural tendencies to ward off that which is foreign. This can prolong the illness.
Intead, I load up on gobs of vitamin C, garlic, echinacea and other natural supplements that aid the body in fighting off the virus.
I\’ll drink lots of water, rest in front of a few good movies, sleep a bit and be better by Monday.
At least that\’s the plan.
Achoo!
