Hi Garnet, do you just pick a cupful (?) or so of leaves straight from the tree?

In answer to the subject matter - Flu. I had a bad dose of flu around ten years ago and as I also suffer from mild asthma it really knocked me for six. Took a good three weeks before I was up and about again. At this time I found out about colloidal silver (from a friend) and have never been without is since. In the years since during the winter months I've had cold symptoms a good few times but CS has always come to the rescue and by morning all has been well. There has been a couple of times when my symptoms lasted a couple of days and I was left wondering if I'd caught a flu bug and not just an ordinary cold. At no time did I have take any time off work but did feel a bit washed out in the evenings.

We're just (hopefully) coming to the end of our winter down this a way and up until last Sunday I could have reported all the family had remained cold and flu free. The dreaded swine flu has been doing the rounds of the area so when I awoke Sunday morning with ' the symptoms' I got a little concerned. Have spent the last four days, including Sunday, treating myself with CS, increased iodine intake, MMS and Liposomal C. Can't say I would have taken time off work but was dammed glad I am retired so could take it easy. Appetite was affected as was sleep all topped of with head and body aches. Last night (Wednesday) I slept well and woke up feeling fine this morning. Drove into town for weekly shop and a coffee returning home early afternoon for lunch. It's now 4pm and I still feel tip top so hopefully it's all behind me now.

All this leads up to the question - seeing as how CS is so good at dealing with colds and the flu etc just how is one to tell what one may have. When one has a cold and deals with it with CS how will we ever know if it was just a cold or something much worse?

Anyone got any ideas?

Best wishes to all,  Roger B

P.S. I should maybe add that I've not had any sort of flu shot despite my doctors suggestion that I really should being an asthmatic.

I have been sort of monitoring the list and haven't seen any posts saying they had kicked up a flu bug. So, have any of you folks been flu ridden? My wife is considering a regular flu shot because she has developed a respiratory problem over the years and attributes it to mold in our house. I refuse to buy into it because we have not had standing water or continuous lockage into wall cavities. We do have a few small mold like stains on some sheetrock in our basement but I tell her she would probably se the same in any average basement. She isn't considering H1N1 vaccine. I haven't had a shot in 10 years and don't plan to have any in the near or distant future.
Let's have a show of hands.....anyone caught a flu bug this year?
