Picture it…

Christmas dinner, everyone in the family is piled in the room. There is coughing, runny noses, and food right in the center of it all. Hardly anyone has washed their hands before eating, and now you’re all sharing plates, silverware, food… It’s a hot bed of germs, and the snot to air ratio is overwhelming. If you aren’t sick yet, you’re going to be.

So this is just a friendly reminder about a post I wrote last summer, which stated if you take zinc tablets every day, and then take echinacea whenever you’re around sick people, you will be much less likely to get a cold or flu.

It’s not too late… stop by the local grocery store or drug store on your way to see your family and friends. Trust me, this really works. I’ve dodged some pretty bad colds this year already. In fact, Rodney was pretty sick for about 3 weeks, and his doctor said he couldn’t believe I hadn’t been sick too. It was the pills people.

There you have it. Zinc pills and echinacea. You’ll thank me.

Oh, and wash your hands before you eat (which you already do, right?).

So on that note, I hope everyone has a wonderful and safe Christmas. Drive carefully and with compassion.

Happy Holidays everyone!

Hey Nathan. I agree with you that zinc and echinacea are great for keeping colds at bay, but you might want to make a note that people shouldn’t take more zinc than what is recommended on the labeling and that if you are going to take echinacea you my want to look into possible drug interactions which can happen for people like myself that are using antiretrovirals. Anyway, I did’t mean to sound all nanna on you. As I said I agree that they both help keep the bugs at bay. I’m just sayin’ Big Warm Christmas Hugs From Nanna T
