Do It Yourself Healthcare

I was sharing about one of my best lines of defense when the bugs are attacking - trusty capsicum and garlic! This isn't likely going to be for everyone -no way! If you don't like the smell of garlic or your spouse (and he or she isn't willing to take some themself) this may not be for you. I don't notice that pungent garlicky aroma when we both partake so if one of you is under attack, don't suffer, join 'em.

I don't know how many times I've chased off those ickies and avoided a breakdown and bedtime with fever, aching bones and general all around misery. Usually a couple, three good doses keeps me going and feeling good enough that if I'm not paying attention I forget to take any more and then the symptoms start returning.

Which basically means that I need to keep taking it after I feel so much better - an extra few doses to bring me all the way out of the woods.

I want to be sure you understand that everyone is so unique and that is the great challenge of healthcare and why it is so important that folks start paying attention to their own bodies and discover what works for them. Those discoveries are wonderfully rewarding.

Finding ways to fight for you own health without drugs could become more and more important as super bugs arise that antibiotics can't touch.
