Cold Symptoms Reduced, Thanks To Canada

The equivalent of the FDA in Canada has approved Cold-fx, a ginseng-derived product that "helps reduce the frequency, severity and duration of cold and flu symptoms by building the immune system."

Taken according to instructions, this product has significantly helped during the cold season.

Ask your doctor before taking this medication especially if you are using blood thinners because ginseng may act as an anti-coagulant.

What You Can Do to Fight the Flu and Other Bugs

Save yourself from those nasty flu bugs festering in public areas. 

1. Wash, lather, and rinse your hands often using warm water.  Use a paper towel to shut off the water.

2. Bring your own tools including flip-flops and towels to your manicure or pedicure.

3. Cover cuts and scrapes.

4. Use oral antibiotics only when you need them.

And when it doubt, pay a visit to your doctor.
