Avoiding the flu this winter.  Should you get a recommended flu shot?  There are a number of risks that citizens should know about & the potentially harmful ingredients.  Proteins that can cause anaphylactic shock, Carcinogen formaldehyde, powerful nerve poisons such as mercury & aluminum salts.  Here at Peak Performance we like to promote four healthy and natural ways to combat the Flu.   Get adjusted, boost your vitamin C intake to 500 to 1000 mg per hour while you’re awake, also take 3 or 4 zinc lozenges a day, 1/2 dropper of Echinacea extract 3 x a day & a clove or two of fresh garlic or its supplemental equivalent.  Take Oscillococcinum-If used at the first sign of a flu, this homeopathic remedy can dramatically shorten the duration of fever, headache, stiffness & back & joint pain & other symptoms.  Avoid antihistamines-These drugs cause dehydration, creating an environment that is even more hospitable to viruses.  Drink ginger tea- It will help keep your respiratory tract moist & relieve nausea, vomiting & diarrhea.  For extra protection, it is recommended to add one or more of the following herbal supplements:  Echinacea-Which destroys cells infected with viruses, Astragalus-builds resistance to disease, Elderberry-prevents flu viruses from gaining access to the cell’s interior.  If you need a good herbal store visit Elk Grove Vitamins or The vitamin store here in Elk Grove.
