It's official, flu season is upon us and the commercials have started. The "get your flu shot" panic has begun. Hold your horses folks. I personally have never had a flu shot and don't plan to start anytime soon. Most of us aren't going to die if we do get the flu but it would be a good time to start working on your immune system. That is called preventative medicine for those who have forgotten how it's always been done. Our ancestors did not run to the nearest Walgreens for their yearly flu shot. It also makes me wonder what will happen when we have over-immunized ourselves. I imagine there would come a time when our immune system couldn't build the immunity to fight off or recover from the flu. Not somewhere I would want to be. Email Mari at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it for your Immune Boost Tea and Immune Boost Elixir. Even kids will take that one as it is sweetened with honey. For a 2 ounce bag of tea, a 4 ounce bottle of elixir and an ounce of prevention for $15.00. I don't even know how much a flu shot costs but I know they spend a fortune on commercials!

If you do get the flu, give yourself a complete week to recover. That means 7 days...yes 7. Most people get up and start scrubbing floors on day 4. Then they are back down on day 5 and STAYING down at that point for a few more days. Do yourself a favor and sleep sleep sleep. Have some of Mari's Cold & Flu tea on hand and crawl under your blankie! Sweat that virus right out of your body.
