I didnt mean we take them all at once

Yogurt-we eat some daily keep lots of good flora so any virus will be quickly eliminated before it has a chance to really make us sick

Calcium bentonite clay-also helps the gut stay balanced and absorbs negative charged things such as viruses. we use to take clay daily but i cant take clay right now so its just easier for me to feed everyone yogurt at the same time.
But even if we dont take it daily at first sign of a cold, like a sore throat we take a clay bath and/or drink a little. Of anything on my list clay is the absolute best thing for stomach problems even if it accompanied by being sick (it will stop nausea, vomiting, diareah within an hour!)

Oranges-eat fresh oranges for a sore throat

Blueberries-frozen when you have a fever or anyway to help calm the stomach and remove the virus

Garlic-all three in a soup is great when sick, good decongestant along with saline spray or netti pot
Onion
Oregano

Olive oil-for ears and stomach

Apple cider vinegar-sickness associated with stomach pains or bloating that any of the other things dont take away that day

Honey-for a sore throat, a squeeze of fresh lime juice or lemon added to break up any phlem

Clo when I can't buy enough organic free range meats.

Oh I forgot, when nothing above makes a difference in 2 days I go straight for the occilloccinum just in case its the flu.
With a family of 6 i just cant afford to pay a $20 copayment for each of us should we get sick. Thank goodness the above has worked for us and off the top of my head i can only think of one time where i had to take one of our kids in for a cold that only she couldnt shake. Turns out it was the flu and she was sent home to just keep doing what we were doing. On top of our large family we all have pretty bad allergies that leave our bodies a bit weak through flu season, hence the clo or good fats.

One last thing i forgot was my homemade electrolyte. I posted the recipe here somewhere. I still use it, only i make it with coconut water when i can find some.
