How are you stocked up for citrus juice? When my kids are sick like this, I put them on three days of orange or grapefruit juice and at least 3 tablespoons of echinacea tincture every day. I either offer them ginger juice or peppermint tea if they are nauseous. They almost always opt for the peppermin tea. I ask them if they want Willow Bark tincture for the aches but they always say no. I give them hot broths if they will drink it, tell them to take a detox bath for the steam/ sauna/general detox, and let them sleep it off. Usually this knocks a cold out- at least the worst part.
If it's the flu, I add lobelia tincture for the coughing, because it helps to calm things down and just seems to help with everything. I don't have any Lung Formula made up, but Uny has some if you think you will end up needing it.
What do you mean, the air you are breathing is poisonous?

I didn't mention Supertonic because 1) I don't have any made (I know I should) and 2) I've never given it to my kids, and the post was about "what I do for my kids." But Supertonic users swear by the stuff.
Also... I've been wondering about the ex-boss thing, too. I don't understand. Ex-spouses, I get, because there are children involved, "every other weekends," etc. . Are you still working at the same place that the ex-boss is, and you're now in a different department?

No, that's not what it is. Super Tonic is really a cure all!
This is Super Tonic:

SUPER TONIC & SUPER TONIC + ECHINACEA
I'm sorry you're feeling so awful Joe! I know our state has been one of the ones where a nasty flu/bug is just jumping from person to person. Super Tonic and Echinacea are formulas that we all should keep on hand at all times just like people who don't know anything about natural healing have all the cold/flu remedies on hand. Only our formulas really heal whereas OTC are just plain toxic! :-)
Take it easy and just rest/sleep all you can. Hope you get to feeling better real soon!
