The day I left, a letter came home from the middle school… along with the rumors: Twenty (confirmed? who knows) cases of H1N1 at the middle school. After talking with the kids doctor, I realized the only option I had was to pump up their immune system so they can fight against H1N1. The day I left, I stocked the pantry with these items:

- Oil of Oregano: One gel capsule each day, as a preventative.
- Cinnamon Essential Oil.
(See item 3) : 10 drops in 1/4 a cup of vegetable oil. Stir, and keep until virus strikes. When it does, rub a bit on the tummy, and glands around the neck. Penetrates through the skin. Cinnamon oil is known for its virus-killing properties. To be used only if flu strikes.
- Peppermint Essential Oil
: Add 10 drops to number 2 above. Peppermint Oil helps to settle the stomach and penetrates through the skin. To be used only if flu strikes.
- Astragulus
: One capsule per day, as a preventative.
- Emergen-C: One pack each morning, as a preventative.
- Ingenium Hand Sanitizer: Portable, and safe.
- Oscillococcinum for Flu: Homeopathic flu remedy. My pediatrician’s exact words: “I can’t scientifically tell you it works; but I use it, and it works fast.” To be used only if flu strikes.
I also added Black Elderberry Extract for that cough… and research says it minimizes flu symptoms by half.
