Q: HO, HO, HO!!!! Your advice last year about my terrible cold got me through the season! I’m feeling great THIS season because you told me how to avoid the crud in the first place. Thank You! I’m already packing my sleigh and double checking my list. Thanks for taking care of Santa, this past year. You’re at the front of my deliveries! My First Lieutenant “elf-helper” wondered if you could please tell the elves again how to avoid getting sick this holiday season?
A: Well, old friend, I think the health of your little elves is pretty important to you getting your job done and for the happiness of a lot of little ones, so of course I’ll share my “not-so-secret” secrets for staying healthy over the holidays! o<:O) Written especially for “ wittle” Elves , but ANYONE can benefit!
WASH YOUR WITTLE HANDS and KEEP YOUR THEM AWAY FROM YOUR WITTLE FACE!!! Most viruses are actually given to ourselves by touching something and then touching our eyes or noses. Keep your hands away from your face if you don’t know they are clean. Wash your hands several times each day if you are in contact with people you know are sick or with the general public. If the sick people around you do the same thing, it will help also. KEEP YOUR WITTLE SELF HYDRATED, even if you’re NOT sick yet! Viruses live within the cells and must have extra fluids to get out. Drinking caffeine or alcoholic beverages can let you catch something you might not have caught otherwise because they cause you to loose fluid and vital nutrients, such as vitamin C. Your nose runs for a reason, to get rid of the wittle viruses in there! Using antihistamines, which dry out those running fluids, may concentrate the viruses, making the illness last longer if it DOES catch you. So try to tough it out, if you can. KEEP YOUR WITTLE BODY WARM! Being cold doesn’t cause you to be sick, but lowers your wittle defenses so that you’ll be sick more easily. KEEP YOUR WITTLE BODY ADJUSTED! The adjustments that I make to your wittle spine and your wittle sinus pressure points I stimulate, can help the miserable symptoms if you get them and help you feel better faster. There is also reason to believe that clearing interference within your wittle spine can help boost your wittle immune system and help avoid the onset, as well. There are several things that are natural supplements that have been shown to aid in preventing virus sicknesses. I take AZACT, which is available in my office. I’ve taken it for years and though it doesn’t always keep me from getting sick, I know that it keeps me from being AS sick and cuts down on the recovery time. It consists of Vitamins A,C,E, Zinc, Lysine and Quercitin/Hesperidin. Also remember that human touch is healing, therefore LOTS of WITTLE HUGS are part of my Healthy holiday !
And as for MY Christmas wish, Santa? I’m glad I’m at the top of your list! I wish Delta County the healthiest year possible and that when I’m needed that I find all the right answers to ease the pain and to spread a little spirit all through the year. My wish is for a common spirit between us all and that grateful hearts are the daily norm. Counting blessings, in THIS great country of ours, comes easily after traveling abroad, being reminded of our freedoms and the abundance we enjoy. Merry Christmas!!
