1) Wash hands frequently, especially after handling money, taking public transportation, taking out trash, walking the dog, shaking hands, etc. Use warm running water with fingertips pointing down, building up an abundant lather, for at least 15 seconds.
2) Cover your mouth with a tissue or handkerchief when coughing, sneezing, or yawning, then wash your hands.
3) Cover your mouth and nose if you are near someone else who is coughing, sneezing, or yawning.
4) Eat well, rest well, get fresh air and sunshine, and save a little time for a healthy hobby or leisure activity.
5) Use a paper towel or jacket sleeve to turn the knob when leaving public restrooms.
For prevention, the herbal/nutritional protocol would be as follows:
1) Larix (Arabinogalactan extracted from the larch tree) – Eclectic Institute Brand -1 heaping tablespoon twice per day in juice – 1 800 952 7921
2) Reishi Mushroom Extract – NAMMEX Brand – 200 mg 12:1 Extract -2 capsules twice per day – 1 800 952 7921
3) Maitake Mushroom Extract – NAMMEX Brand – 400 mg – 2 capsules twice per day – 1 800 952 7921
4) Olive Leaf Extract – Solgar – 2 capsules twice per day
5) Vitamin C – a mineral based non acid form is best, I like Country Life Superior Vitamin C, but Ester C is also good, as is Gary Null’s Suprema C – 1000 mg two to three times per day (if you hit bowel tolerance, just back off on the quantity a little bit to get comfortable again, but don’t stop altogether)
