How is your health?   Is that a weird question? It seems like every time I turn around, I hear about more and more people catching colds right now.. KNOCK - ON- WOOD, it hasn't got us yet...  (Although it should be soon, since the weather just keeps changing on us...) I mean, seriously, I just found out a friend of mine has whooping cough...  Another is showing signs of strep-throat! So... I just got an email and I thought I would share it: TOP 5 TIPS to STOP Your COLD Natural Ways to Stop Your Cold  Zinc Gluconate:   Because of zinc's antiviral properties, taking a well-formulated zinc cold remedy, such as zinc gluconate, at the onset of a cold can significantly reduce the cold's duration and severity, according to a comprehensive review of medical research on the subject.

I do not know about your house, but around here, when the weather starts changing, we start dealing with colds.  You know, it goes from cold to hot, then back to cold... oh, here we go, its hot again... With all the changing of temperatures, we try to keep medicines on hand to beat the blues before they beat us.   Marc is not a fan of any medicine and would rather ride it out versus get relief.  He hates medicines so much that it was nice to find Natural Medicines for Broxton.  That way, it isn't all the chemicals and what not, but a more holistic approach.   I know for me, growing up, we always had the old traditional ways of healing, you know.. the ones that were passed down from generation to generation... The old wives tales, if you know what I mean... So, when I read that Maty's was along the same lines, I knew that was what I wanted in our cabinets!

Last year's weather had Atlanta shut down for a few days... People made fun of how Atlanta did not know how to function with a bit of snow and ice... That was not the case at all... We as the residents couldn't do anything, as the city was not prepared. It was actually quite scary. Marc had to go to work, although the mayor said do not get on the roads UNLESS YOU HAD TO. Cars were sliding everywhere... Cars were actually abandoned on the sides of the roads. Triple AAA and other companies could not get to help people as the roads were ridiculous. I am PRAYING that we don't have that happen again. It was kind of spooky. That being said, we will be more prepared this year than in the past... I will make sure that we have a manual can opener. (We had one, it broke last year.) We will have food staples, batteries and candles in reserve. We will have blankets in our car. We will have medicine! Ha!!!! I bet you were wondering where I was going with this. With the weather change.....
