Just a few short days ago, I wrote and told you I had come down with the flu.

Thanks to all who sent love, warmth and healing energy...I'm finally starting to feel human today... finally! 
The sad reality is that the flu vaccine hasn't helped this strain of flu and when it hits, it's hitting with a vengence! 

I'm sharing with you some basic treatments for the flu and hope this helps should you end up on the other side fo the flu: This doesn't take the place of your physician or healing practitioner's advice...if you are feeling ill, you need to seek the help of your primary healthcare advisor...

  • Stay hydrated!  Clear liquids are best.  ANYTHING you can see through.........Gingerale, tea, broth, jello
  • treat the symptoms you've got at the time you've got them
  • Tylenol for the fever; cough medicine; decongestant; antihistamines for those symptoms as directed by your physician or practitioner
  • and REST As a Mom, I know it's difficult to care for the family while feeling like the pus that feeds off the fungus that infects the pond scum...but try and rest as much as you can while your family is resting....and let's be honest here, the testosterone laden plasma in the house are the biggest babies when they get sick!!!!

For those with whom the flu has hit the hardest...pneumonia does follow....and as one who has had it before ...misdiagnosed and treated passively...I send healing energy to you as I've been in your shoes.

School districts are closing because upwards of up to 50% of the student population has been out sick due to the flu.  Businesses are cutting production and offices are working with skeleton crews as we battle this flu season.  Emergency Departments are overflowing with people seeking treatment.  The ones whom are more severely affected:  children under 2 years of age; seniors over 65 and anyone with compromised immune systems.

Sending you healing energy!
