Re: If we get the flu while pregnant...

While Kaylee, Allie and my grand-daughter were going through their flu bug - my pregnant daughter (who also lives in the house) was taking 4 echinacea & golden seal capsules every two hours. She was also drinking two green drinks a day and lots of fresh juice. She came through all of it without a sniffle.

If you will stay away from meat, dairy, processed foods and sugar, you will be a lot less likely to have a problem. If you are exposed to the flu or are starting to notice symptoms, I would suggest doing what my daughter did. Any time you are not feeling well, it is best to go to lots of live, fresh juices, especially citric juices - as opposed to heavy meals. This will boost the immune system, help alkalize the body and give it a chance to flush out whatever is causing the problem.

Oregano oil is not advised during pregnancy because one of the actions of oregano is to promote menses, which, of course, is not something you want to do while pregnant. I have used echinacea & goldenseal, Dr Christopher's infection formula, anti-plague, thieves (a young living oil) and RC (another young living combination) successfully during pregnancy.

The best advise I can give is use preventative care - stay on your supplements, keep your diet fresh and alive, stay away from garbage foods, drink lots of pure water, get out in the fresh air every day and walk - breathe deeply, and if you are going to be around people who may be sick, wear a mask.
