We've had something like the plague hit our house. OK, so that's an exaggeration. We've been sick here with some ugly little virus. Snotty noses, LOTS of coughing, sore throats, etc. for about 2 weeks. Tim is the only one who remained healthy... so far! I think I've got bronchitis. Ick!!!
Samuel has been sick 3 times in the past month. This is so bizarre since he's been the healthiest baby and toddler. I think it's because he now has a little 3 year old social life. And he's taken on the very bad happy of chewing on his fingers when he's having a rough go of it. Germs live on fingers, ya know!!!
Question: Do you give your kids any supplements/nutritional boosts, other than a multi-vitamin, to help during cold and flu season?

Sorry you all have been sick! That just stinks! I usually give my kids zinc but this year I have been giving them a liquid echinacea by Gaia. It comes in a capsule form - I snip the top off and squeeze the insides onto a spoonful of yogurt or applesauce. They get a "healthy" m&m when their mouth is empty. That along with the kefir smoothies has been my main defense.
Quick defense by Gaia is the way to go when you are actually getting sick. 2 capsules 5 times a day will kick some serious booty.
Hope that helps!

you bogging slacker...
I'm no help to you - you know that though. We just do tissues, hugs and love (with a little "stop yer whining" thrown in for good measure)
Yeah, once a week posts have become the norm for me too. I hope you guys are feeling better!
I was going to tell you that I found a Omega-3 supplement by Barleans. It's called "Omega Smoothie". It is in liquid form, but it's creamy and lemon flavored - totally good! I've been giving Juli a spoonfull each day and she licks the spoon and asks for more. Yay!
I'm with Courtney. Tissues, hugs and love...we give multi-vitamins when I remember to actually buy them.
I'm interested in seeing what others have to say.
It's nice to meet you. Uhm...to answer your question, I give our kids, collidal silver, vitamin c, calcium, a multi, and stay away from sugar as much as possible. I also use a lot of herbs from naturessunshine.com Feel free to e-mail me with any questions.
nope... (giggling)
