I started a couple of years back due to grandkids coming from school and making me sick with God knows what. So this year I will lay it all at God's feet and pray in Jesus name he helps me through any sickness I may end up with. Praying I don't get sick and I'll pray that you and my other friends don't get sick either. God bless you and yours. Have a great weekend.
If u had been taking the flu shot and this year ur skipping which i agree with, just be mindful, you may get the flu, have zinc ready, and vitamin c,d taken daily i think. Be outside even if its in ur car if it gets to cold. Just do not stay indoors.
Had the flu shot every year when I was in USAF, got flu every year w/o fail. Never got the shot after getting out, got it only once last 20 years. At least I think it was flu ... no violent puking though like in the AF.
You should probably consider Nutritional Therapy. Go to the website of the Nutritional Therapy Association and look for a practitioner either near you or someone who can do a long-distance consult. It's easy! They will guide you to good health without medicines.
This is true. And theres an easy way to test this for ourselves. Make sure to go outside 20-30 min a day, adjust for the season. In the hot summer we go out earlier and need less time. For fall and spring we can go out whenever., its easy. Winter in LV is ok so we can still get some sun D. But for anyone in snowy/cold just dress warm and still go outside and take a vit D supplement for sure. We still take D supplements but based on how much we are outdoors. I cant say enough about the difference noticeably since being deliberate about this.
Also when my kids had a cold Ive taken them in the direct sun. The cold clears up within day or 2, its fascinating to see. Try it if you get a cold/sick anything--get out in direct sun, it will blow your mind. Ive set up a lounge chair all comfy and laid my little ones on it for 20 min and theyre better next day.
My daughter just came down with a cold last night and I will be attempting this today. So different from the way my parents raised us and my MIL raised my husband. When I was little, if we were sick, we wouldn’t dream of going outside. My daughter and I are going to have a picnic out on the outdoor patio and play a game out in the sunshine and hopefully her cold goes away quickly. Hopefully it keeps me from getting sick too. 😬
I hope your daughter feels better. And yeah going outside was the opposite of what we'd think growing up too...and tho we dont go out to play hard or anything but just focused on 20 min direct sun exposure either pushing a little one in stroller, laying a blanket in front yard and yep us too have a picnic! Or we just lay down and take in Gods sunlight for that set time (but not long) and it feels great. I think the fresh air too is beneficial. I hope it helps you guys and the cold just goes far away quick whatever works
Handy rule of thumb for when the sun is strong enough to stimulate the body to produce vitamin D.
If your shadow is longer than your measured height it's too weak - no vit D production. In other words, the sun must be from 45° to 90° in the sky for you to be producing vitamin D
I used to sit outside in a chair all curled up in a blanket when I was sick with colds as a kid. It always made me feel better and gave me more energy, it truly does help!
I have been taking D3 for the last 5 years, and I go outside a lot during the spring and fall months. Thanks for the advice. If you find out anything else, please let me know. God bless and you have a great day too.
Vit D3 levels are hard to raise if you consume any wheat...not gluten, but wheat. Cut out wheat in any form and your Vit D3 will shoot up quickly. Also….Wheat disrupts sun sourced Vit D3 assignment so it’s less available.
My grandmother was on a huge amount of Vitamin D, she was in a nursing home at 93, and she caught Covid (they said) and expected her to die within a few days from it, but she never even showed a symptom. She was already on her way out too, showing all the signs of 'end of life' but Covid was literally nothing to her.

Yep I don’t get the shot or the flu.

Same, never had a flu shot, haven't had the flu in 20+ years.
Same same
4 decades here. Ive had the flu maybe twice .... got over with no problems and lots of chicken soup:)
I don't even remember if I've ever gotten a flu shot. Haven't had the flu in years either.
Okay. So I'll have to go get some Zinc and Vitamin C. I think I can do that.
Vitamin d too. Thats the big one

Drink bone broth (grass fed) and get good restful sleep. God helps those that help themselves.
I've been meaning to do that. Thanks.

how much skin should be exposed? short sleeves? shorts?

Easier said than done. Will try.
If that means avoiding whiskey, I‘ve got a real dilemma here.
Yes, D and zinc.

Get out in the Sun, no covid!
