It’s cold, covid, and flu season; which foods help you recover faster? This cold, covid, and flu season has been bad as the masks come off and we look to find normal. Chicken soup also known as Jewish penicillin always seems to be a common thing to have and it seems to help.  Depending on whom you speak with, they may have their own regimen or cocktail to help you overcome the cold and find recover quickly.   In my case, I recommend Vitamin C, Zinc tabs, Alpha glycosyl, and Nettle for the symptoms and to help your body fight off Read More »

Immunity debt, and our coming cold and flu season. It sure seems that those who weren’t getting colds during the pandemic have some doozies. My Nephews kids are having some crazy flu, covid, and other stuff that has been circulating way before the masks had come off. I have been saying for a while that we have adapted to our air, our atmosphere, and breathing each other’s air.   Wearing masks reduced that contact markedly resulting in no or minimal cold and flu seasons during the pandemic.

While the world waits for a covid19 vaccine, a nasal spray may also prevent infection according to the NY Times. Unless you have been living under a rock, you may have heard that both Pfizer and Moderna have a covid 19 vaccine that is being shown to be at least 90 percent effective at preventing covid19 infection. It is estimated that these vaccines may take months to produce and distribute, with the Pfizer vaccine also requiring a negative 75 degrees Celcius storage component.  This can be a problem as most placed that would administer the vaccine do not have this Read More »
