Step 1
Practice meticulous hygiene. Wash hands, frequently, up to your elbows, using hot water and soap. Avoid touching your face (especially eyes, mouth, or nose)with your fingers.
-
Step 2
Use tissues when you sneeze or cough, and dispose immediately. Cover hands when opening doors or using public facilities.
-
Step 3
Stay hydrated. Maye sure you are keeping your body well hydrated with plenty of water and fluids such as chicken broth to aid in flushing out viruses and toxins.
-
Step 4
Take Oscillococcinum. Also called Oscillo for short, this homeopathic flu remedy is supported by clinical studies as well as numerous testimonies by users -- including celebrities, consumers and health care professionals. Begin taking at the first signs of a flu.

Step 5
Get fresh air and exercise. Don't stay cooped up inside where germs recirculate during the flu season. Exercise helps your body produce virus-killing cells.

Step 6
Keep surfaces clean and disinfect kitchens and bathrooms regularly. Stop the spread of germs to prevent the flu.

on 3/24/2008 Great advice, had the flu last month and it wasn't fun. I have been much more careful since then as to what I am touching and am washing my hands constantly, almost obsessively now...LOL

on 3/1/2008 Good article! Whenever I come back home from out in the public the first thing we do is head straight for the bathroom and wash our hands. Then the groceries are put away,etc afterwards. This cuts down on illnesses tremendously as well. As you say it's very important not to 'touch your eyes, nose, mouth' until you get home to do this.
