Another Winter Season Without Getting the Flu!

Since i26 helps to balance the immune system, it stands to reason that my enhanced diet isn’t the only benefit I’ve derived from taking the supplement. I’ve been taking i26 since September 2009 and I haven’t had a cold or the flu in more than a year!  

This may not sound all that amazing for some, but for me it is. Without fail, I used to get a summer cold, several winter colds (lasting 5-10 days), and at least one bout of the flu (lasting 2-3 weeks) every year!  I started getting an annual flu shot about 15 years ago, to avoid getting the A-strain of the virus; but I still got all of the others!  I was so susceptible that it seemed as if I looked at someone with a cold, I would be sick within a couple of days!  I even tried avoiding babies and toddlers during the cold/flu season, because whatever they had, I got within days!  Being asthmatic certainly didn’t help; any hint of a respiratory infection would result in further complications and prolong the recovery time.

Now, I don’t waste any time,  if I’ve been around someone with a cold/flu, or at the first sign of a cold/flu I take an extra ½ scoop of i26 for a couple of days and go to bed a little earlier than normal.  This gives my body the extra rest and support it may need to fight the invaders.  The next day I feel fine, but I continue the process for another day just to play safe! 

During the height of flu season, I take a little extra (about ¼ scoop) 4-5 days of the week, and I increase my Vitamin D3 intake to 5,000 IU per day; the combination works well as a preventative.  While others were falling like flies from various colds and viruses, I managed to dodge it all!  My second year without a cold or the flu - thanks to i26.
