Influenza | Flu and Your Immune System

It remains unclear why outbreaks of the flu occur seasonally rather than uniformly throughout the year. One possible explanation is that, because people are indoors more often during the winter, they are in close contact more often and this is enough to trigger the outbreak. Another is that the cold weakens the immune system and that immune system is your most important defence system to fight against flu.

Influenza - are you protected?

Are you sick of hearing all the news about the Flu going around? Have you or your loved one actually experienced one already?

My son actually got it from his football friends as the whole team was affected by it this season. Every week we had 3-4 players missing because of this influenza. However, amazingly he got off within 2-3 days after he started to have very high fever. He went through everything like every other kids in his team, such as very high fever, wheezing cough and all, but very very quickly.

All I could think of as the reason for this is the natural immune supplement, called Transfer Factor we have been taking. In fact, before he got this flu we ran out of our stock and I wasn't quick enough to place the order. He got flu on the Saturday afternoon (isn't it the way it is always?) and I was regretting that I didn't have the back up stock of Transfer Factor. (We usually start to take more dosage of our Transfer Factor Plus Advanced Formula when we started to feel a bit of irritation in our throat or something in our nose, so whatever the symptoms won't persist and disappear.) On Monday, I placed the order first thing in the morning but he was already feeling better and before the product arrived he was back to school on Tuesday.

Transfer Factor works on your immune system. They say that it modulate your immune system, which means it will boost your immune system when it is necessary and it will supress your over acting immune system in case of autoimmune conditions.

As we have been taking Transfer Factors, obviously our immune system was strong enough to fight the flu back. For your information, I didn't get the flu from my son even I was with him all the time. Isn't that great? For us mothers, I think, our children getting sick is hard enough but getting sich ourselvs is harder as we still have to look after the family and do all the choes around the house. Don't you agree?

The transfer factor has been working great for us and I have been recommending to my friends. It helped my friend's allergic child, other friend's daughter in law who had been suffering from rheumatoid arthritis, and more.
