The Flu Survival Guide: Kitchen Remedies and Natural Strategies to Battle the Bug<\/a><\/h3>\n

If you are a flu shot avoider, like I am, you probably aren\u2019t crazy about the drug store flu remedies. Here\u2019s a flu survival guide loaded with natural strategies and kitchen remedies in case one or more of your family members gets sick.<\/p>\n

Despite your best efforts at prevention<\/a>, sometimes the flu just happens. \u00a0If you work with the public or have children in school \u2013 or heck, even go to the store from time to time \u2013 you and your family will be exposed. Sometimes those viruses are simply tougher than your immune system. The flu is going wild right now and is widespread in 36 states, according to a report by the CDC<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s an arsenal of strategies if someone gets sick.<\/p>\n

Note:<\/strong>\u00a0I\u2019m not a doctor, nor do I play one on TV. \u00a0These home remedies are for informational purposes only and are not a substitute for medical attention from a professional.<\/em><\/p>\n

Containing the Illness<\/strong><\/p>\n

When someone in your home is sick, one of your first goals is not to pass the illness on to other family members. The other priority is treating the sick people in the house with remedies that strengthen them rather than weaken them.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s important to make an effort to contain the illness. Despite your best efforts, it may not work, but it\u2019s worth a try.<\/p>\n

I\u2019d like to note that antibacterial products are highly controversial. It\u2019s my belief that the problem is the overuse<\/em> of antibacterial products that causes the issues. \u00a0I believe that if used judiciously, they can be very effective aids in preventing the spread of an illness.<\/p>\n

Try these techniques to help contain the contagion.<\/p>\n
