Hey alll,
I feel like everyone is sick these days (most likely from the change of weather) and unfortunately, I fell into the trap. I am sick and having breathing issues :( Needless to say, I can't work out at all, yet I can still eat perfectly fine! Anyone else in the same boat?

    Hi,
    I know what you mean, it can be a real drag when the cold weather hits and everyone gets sick! I have a small child which makes it even easier to catch anything that's going.
    I take a small dose of oregano oil (Pure-le Natural is one brand but there are lots of others in the cold and flu section of your health food store) about 1 or 2 drops under the tongue for a few days if I feel a cold coming on. It tastes like hell but there's nothing like it for preventing a cold. Make sure it's oregano oil in olive oil and not ESSENTIAL OIL of oregano, which usually cannot be taken internally.
    You know the old adage "feed a cold, starve a fever", well I guess we all have to try and eat lots of veggies and soups instead of those other not so good things. Here's more incentive to stay away from the sugar. A teaspoon of refined sugar impaires your immune response for up to 6 hours!! It takes you longer to get better if you're eating it!
    Get well soon, and good luck!
    -Amber

    Just starting to get over the surgery I had on the 7th and now I feel like I am coming down with this bug everyone in town seems to have. No fair I was in isolation, too. Hope everyone feels better soon. I've just been looking at my treadmill everyday and thinking, "You know a nap would be nice right now!":huh:

    I've been hanging on to something for a few weeks now. I was only actually sick for a couple days, but I can't seem to get rid of it. I have a sore throat most days lately, headaches and my voice has been kind of scratchy. I wish it would go away.

    Yeah. I'm sick too. I've been sick since thursday. I missed 3 workouts because of this cold. My next workout is planned for wednesday and I really hope I'm able to go.
