Home Remedies for the Flu that Work! Home remedies for the flu are really awesome. No matter how sick you are, if you implement these flu home remedies, you will heal, usually pretty quickly. Of course, it’s best not to get the flu at all, so a few words about prevention. The worst thing you can do to prevent the flu is get a flu shot. Many people actually come down with the flu after getting the shot and it does very little to protect you. A systematic review of 51 studies involving 260,000 children age 6 to 23 months found no evidence that the flu vaccine is any more effective than a placebo.
Within days or a few weeks of receiving the flu shot, children often develop runny noses, pneumonia, ear infections and bronchitis. The reason is the flu virus introduced in their bodies which creates these symptoms. It also indicates immuno-suppression i.e. lowering of the immunity. Flu vaccines contain highly toxic chemicals such as mercury, aluminum and formaldehyde. Over time, the aluminum collects in the brain and causes cognitive dysfunction. There is mounting evidence that flu shots can cause Alzheimer’s disease. One report shows that people who received the flu vaccine each year for 3 to 5 years had a 10-fold greater chance of developing Alzheimer’s disease than people who did not have any flu shots. Three serious, acknowledged adverse reactions to the flu vaccine are joint inflammation and arthritis, anaphylactic shock (and other life-threatening allergic reactions), and Guillain-Barré syndrome. Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) is a paralytic autoimmune disease that fells people several weeks after their flu shot.

You do this by eating right and drinking a daily health drink (one of my home remedies for the flu) that contains immune building nutrients such as Spirulina, the foundation of my PowerUp revitalizing herbal tonic. PowerUp is a powerful immune builder that I developed during my five year, federally funded Holistic AIDS Project conducted in Philadelphia, PA (1995-2000).
Vitamin D also keeps the immune system from overreacting to an infection and releasing too many inflammatory agents that can damage infected tissue. In the 1918—19 Spanish flu pandemic that killed 500,000 Americans, young healthy adults would wake up in the morning feeling well and be dead by midnight. Autopsies showed complete destruction of the cells lining the respiratory tract resulting from a severe inflammatory reaction to the virus. These victims' own immune system attacked and killed them, not the virus, something vitamin D can prevent.
