Thankfully, pastured lard and cod liver oil provide for my family and I our much-needed vitamin D! I live in Michigan, and unfortunately for me, sunshine is hard to come by this time of year.

I've been at this job 11 years and never called out for the flu! I practice excellent hand washing, eat healthy foods that my Grandparents would recognise, avoid commercial produced meats, all processed psuedo foods, drink a little wine, walk for pleasure/exercise, garden to grow some of my food. We need to take control of our lives and health. I'm over 55, wear an 8P and can out work most of my younger coworkers. It's so sad how unhealthy we are becoming as a Nation.

I would also add wild oregano oil, which is antiviral/bacterial. I use this, garlic, vitamin D and probiotics during fall and winter and have not been sick in 3 years. If you do get sick, I would add the herbs boneset (helps those aches and pains) and wild cherry bark for coughs as well as zinc. Great post Jenny! I am glad you posted this again!
