Arm yourself for battle against the flu
It is flu season again and this year seems to be on target to hit many households. Here are some tips to help avoid getting sick. I have had two members sick in my family and loading up on vitamin c and using these tips have avoiding getting the virus. Keep up your guard and you can stay healthy throughout flu season.
1. First and foremost wash your hands. Warm soapy water many times per day. This will be your first line of defense.
2. Use high dose vitamin C doses. High dose vitamin C will help ward off the virus. In his book Vitamin C and the Common Cold (1), Linus Pauling explained that vitamin C, taken at the proper dose, can prevent a virus from taking hold in the body. Take several times a day in 2,000 mg increments. Here is a great medical study on using vitamin C. (Click Here)
