What it does mean is that a lot of people may catch the flu. My goal is to optimize your likelihood that if you catch the flu, it will be a short and uneventful illness.

Our role – all of us – is to act with clarity and calmness. We should follow clear guidelines to prevent and if ill, to treat the flu. These guidelines are given below.

Remember your basics:
	• Wash hands regularly • Get good sleep • Continue daily routines • Stay active	• Watch your stress • Drink plenty of water • Eat healthfully – avoid sugar! • Avoid those who are ill

I have found the supplements listed in the protocols available below to be invaluable over the years. These formulas are designed to support your health and your healthy recovery from this flu."  Make sure to also read the sections following this for additional practical advice.
