Swine flu

[gja1000]

Hey folks!!! My daughter found an herbal flu treatment that is FDA approved. Maybe you all know about it, but I'd never heard of it, but it is Oscillococcinum. She bought it at Walgreens (pharmacy) - it's not cheap, $15. She researched it very well and found it to be safe and effective. Here is the website http://www.oscillo.com/ She also researched it on other web sites and found many good things said about it.

She gave it to Abigail and she was a new girl in a couple of hours. It REALLY helped her to feel better. Brooke was feeling punky too, so she took a dose and says she feels lots better too. The clinical research says it does not prevent the flu but shortens its course. They say it is safe for people from 2-102 and that it does not interact with other medications you might be taking. I'm going to get a box for, "just in case".

How are the babies today?

Thanks, Doc, I'll get some Oscillococcinum tonight when I pickup my BP script.

Only one baby (13 year old) came down with it - we thought the 2 year old was getting sick but she never did. The incubation period is 5 days (I think) so she still may succumb - but we hope not.

The 13 year old is CURED!!! The two doses of the Oscillococcinum did the trick!!!

So glad Abi's better. I printed out the coupons from that website and will stop shortly to get some. Harold's truck is in the shop, so we're carpooling! I DO NOT LIKE RIDING WITH HIM IN WORK TRAFFIC. He waited until he had 140 miles left on the warranty to get a couple of things fixed.

I don't like riding to work with anyone, i like to be able to run errands, or do whatever i want on the way home from work.

just now reading this, glad to hear your g-daughter is feeling better now. Hope you or Gary don't end up with it, or your mom.
Hubbys got the sniffels bad, so keeping an eye on him, don't think it's anything, just watching.
My brother was home last week from Cali. and what he thought was posion ivy has ended up being shingles, we had a family get togther before he left so hope no one catches that, mom had them almost 2 yrs ago and they were painful .

Oh Dear, shingles can be soooo bad. If you've never had them, you can get a vaccination to prevent them. If you've had them, then the vaccine won't help. It's supposed to be for persons over age 65, but I talked my PCP into giving it to me since I have FREQUENT cold sores, which is the same virus that caused shingles. Hopefully, I will never get them!
