If your around someone who's sick.....how to prevent yourself from getting it ?

[Superheavy]

So my wife has a nasty cold and so far I have been able to keep it at bay. I'm taking my vitamin c, echinacea, along with my zinc, fish oil, primrose, multi, vit d3, curcumin. What else can I do? I think I can feel it comIng. It sucks.....

I don't believe any of that is going to help much. The common cold is a virus. Avoiding it is pretty simple but a pain in the ass. You need to minimize your exposure by not sharing drinking glasses, utensils, etc, avoid close contact and most importantly, most importantly, wash your hands frequently. I can't stress that last point enough. If you catch it, most likely it will be from your contaminated hands touching your eyes, nose or mouth. Good luck

Rutger nailed it.

This info is straight from a pathologist. Almost all viruses are air born, there is literally a cloud of the virus around everyone who has it. If something is "going around" then pretty much the entire population is exposed. Because of antibodies, only a small percentage of that population actually can get sick from that virus.

Started going in the sauna and steam room after my workouts and I haven't gotten sick in a very long time.

The NUMBER 1 thing that helps me avoid catching it from others (I'm around sick people a lot)

is a saline nasal spray.

I use two types.. xclear with xylitol which is fantastic for bacteria

and I use Simply Saline by Arm and Hammer which has a high pressured spray.

I reduced my sicknesses dramatically.

While I can tell you a whole host of foods/herbs/medicines that will boost your immune system... those are only secondary defenses that will leave you "catching up".

It is best to not let the infection even take hold in the body.. that means washing hands.. but more importantly.. washing the nose. I am not sure why people focus on the hands but don't clean their nose.

Take zinc lozenges which blocks the receptors in your throat that a common cold might attach to (I think CD4 receptor but I might be wrong), but please wash your nose out every day with some saline.

Especially in the winter when the cold air dries the nasal passage out.. viruses and bacteria have an easier time "connecting".

You can't catch something that is getting washed out. (It is literally the first thing I do when I get home and I carry one with me to work).

I used to have a really weak immune system. I was always sick as a kid.
I would always get upset when someone around me was sick, because I knew I was going to get it.

Once I changed my diet to all healthy foods and started taking a lot of antioxidants, I never really got sick regularly again. I get a cold/flu once a year now on average. I can be around sick people and not worry about catching anything.
I got sick this year one time because a really nasty flu virus was going around, and it actually got every single person I know, so it must have been a particularly powerful strain.

Olive leaf extract, Idebenone, grape seed extract, colloidal silver, echinacea, and any other antioxidants and herbs that act as natural antibiotics/anti-virals really do make a difference, and if you can get them from whole foods I think they work even better.
Since having vegetables and fruits as my main carb source, I feel my immune system has strengthened immensely.

....colloidal silver.....

From a reputable source, colloidal silver is excellent. I have avoided lots of stuff that was "going around" with family and coworkers. And no, quality colloidal silver will not turn you blue. That happens from using low quality silver.

apparently this guy was using the shitty stuff. LOL

Honest answer: HGH...I'm serious. I hardly get sick on it. I get colds sometimes but they go away at lightning speed

I don't even know what to say to that. Really? Still drinking it after it turned u blue.

 

[Bro]

Actually, the sight of sick people has been proven to increase ones immune system. But that doesn't mean you should hang around her.


And no sex
