You can certainly prevent the flu and you can also stop it if you catch it right away. My daughter is 2.5 and has never been sick. We don't get flu shots or anything like that. I belong to a large moms/kids playgroup in San Diego and Alexa is exposed to others, in fact her best freind is frequently sick, but Alexa never picks anything up. I feed her to the best of my ability (she is very picky right now.) Personally, I am big into organic foods and drinks because you are getting more nutrients and little to no chemicals which weaken the immune system. She drinks organic apple and orange juice, milk. She also drinks quite a bit of water. She takes daily childrens vitamins and in addition to that she takes liquid Herbs for Kids Echinacea/Astragalus, Childs Life liquid vitamin C and I use essential oils in her baths. The essential oils will be soaked up by the skin and go to the bloodstream where it fights infections or helps keep the blood pure. I use several: peppermint, lavendar, bergamot, tea tree, or eucalyptus. Before bed each night or after baths, I made my own mixture of massage oil which consists of lavendar and jojoba oil.

I know I am different than most people in this regard, and most people will continue to use products and foods with chemicals, so if you want to do one thing, I highly recommended the echinacea and even the vitamin C because it really boosts the immune system naturally, better than any flu shot can ever do. Like I always say, you can get all of the flu shots you want, but if the body is not supplied with the vitamins and minerals and even herbs that it needs, you will get sick no matter what because the body is too weak to fight off infection, it is pretty simple. I think you are making the right choice, because getting the flu shot introduces more chemicals and toxins into the body which only further weakens the immune system.....that doesn't make any sense to me.

You and your husband do not need flu shots either, you need the nutrients that will keep the body strong, you may need to supplement, especially going into "flu season" and winter. The flu shot is a crap shoot anyways and you really do not want the chemicals in the body, some are toxic. I never avoid anyone with my daughter, she builds up immunity and she maintains a strong immune system.

Ever wonder why some are exposed to a room full of sick people, yet they do not get sick? Because it is 100% preventable, maintain a healthy immune system naturally and your body will be strong enough to fight off sickness and disease.
