It may be more important than ever to take precautions for avoiding the flu this fall. In addition to getting vaccinated, you can take natural supplements such as Chlorella, which may help to improve your body’s response to the shot.

Predicting a flu pandemic
Dr. Richard Webby from St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital fears that 30 percent of the U.S. population will be infected with the flu virus this year. Additionally, it is anticipated that of those who are ill, 2 percent will die as a result of the pandemic. Reactions to the flu vary greatly, depending on which strain has been contracted. For instance, the bird flu has a much greater fatality rate than other types of the virus.

Boosting immunity
In addition to heading to a local clinic for the flu vaccine, you can take Immuno Well Rx, an all-natural supplement from Western Herbal and Nutrition. Other benefits of this remedy include stimulation to the immune system and cold prevention. So, this is a great addition to your daily routine during cold and flu season – which is quickly approaching.

Immuno Well Rx increases levels of good bacteria within the intestine to achieve these benefits. It is recommended that you take six tablets daily or as otherwise recommended by your  doctor. Be sure to talk to a health care professional before starting this or any other natural remedies.

There are other ways in which you can help prevent contracting or spreading the flu. During this time of year, it’s important to keep your hands washed on a consistent basis to avoid germs. If you don’t have access to soap and water, use an antibacterial sanitizer. If you are sick, stay home from work, school and running errands. Also, make sure that you are covering your mouth and nose when coughing or sneezing.
