Tip: The Flu Part II - What To Do If You Get The Flu

Yesterday's Daily Tip discussed ways to prevent the flu; today covers some ways to lessen the effects of the flu. If you have been diagnosed or have symptoms of the flu (sudden fever, chills, aches and pains) do the following:
Go to (or call) your physician. He or she can prescribe medication. It is important to start taking this within the first 48 hours of symptoms - its effectiveness declines as the illness builds.
Try elderberry extract. This can help to lessen the symptoms and speed up recovery.
Eat garlic. Raw garlic is best - try at least two cloves per day, chopped up in a sandwich or in soup.
Get rest. Lack of sleep and too much stress can make the body weak - if you get the flu, rest as much as possible while your symptoms are resolving.
Drink fluids. Staying hydrated helps to eliminate toxins and metabolic wastes out of your body.

Part I- What To Do If You Don't Get The Flu

Drink 6 oz of wine with 4 cloves of garlic, minced and spread over spaghetti and meatballs (I recommend DiCecco #12, al dente). Get a flu shot.

So far it's worked for me. ;o)

i like lawry's extra thick powder mix. i sub burgandy for half the water and let simmer for an hour. i usually make 4 packages and when it has simmered long enough, i add 2 lbs of a 10% fat free ground meat, fried in a big cast iron skillet until it is all cooked and broken up into little pieces.

i believe i end up with about 6 or 8 pints which can be frozen.

and you thought i was no more then a liberal spouting nincompoop.

I went to the hospital today to get some pain medicine for lower back pain. Between the appointment and waiting for my prescription to be filled I was there about one and a half hours. The waiting rooms were full of people coughing and wheezing. I'll probably be getting a good case of the flu in a few days. Guess I should start taking the cold medicine now.
