Rant at my immune system!!

[lovetheisland]

I am so sick of being sick all of the time. I try not to complain about things like our weather and getting sick because I know that it could be worse and I am lucky that when I do get sick it isn't more serious than a cold but SERIOUSLY enough is enough!! Since Sept I have had so many freakin' colds and I am done with it!! I am a super healthy eater, get OK amounts of sleep, take vitamins use oil of oregano, echinaecea, Vit C, Zinc etc etc. This time I am even trying Goldenseal. There is really no reason for me to keep getting this sick.... except for Karma maybe because I used to think that when my sister was always sick with her young kids that it must have been something that she was doing wrong Now that I have kids I know better

I can't wait for summer to finally arrive and these colds to be done!! Thanks for letting me rant!!

Do you take probiotics? I have the same immunity problem and acidophillus has been a godsend for me and my family. We take 2 capsules every day (I like Natural Factors Double-Strength Acidophilus and Bifidus - provides over 10 billion living acidophilus and Bifidus cells in each serving. I get mine from the Vitamin Shop on Broad http://canadianvitaminshop.com/Product/ ... --BIFIDUS1)...I've been reading in more and more articles that doctors are saying that in addition to washing your hands, the other important thing to do to boost your immunity year-round is take probiotics because your immunity is in your gut. We also take alot of Vit D over here.

Don't forget to keep probiotics in the fridge BTW. The kids take their two each morning with their vitamins - my 6 year old DD doesn't know how to swallow pills so she opens her capsule and pours the powder (which is tasteless) into her mouth. When she was smaller, I did it for her.
