My immune system is MIA

[Angelicus]

Can someone please help me? I recently got a job but I have missed three days so far because I keep getting sick. The first time I got sick, I had a 102.1 fever that wouldn't go away. I was in bed for 2 days. This fever messed up my jaws because my teeth were chattering so much.

The second time (2 weeks later) I got the stomach virus; me and my toilet spend a lot of time together right now. I have missed 2 days from school (missed my advertising test and a Leadership Management test) and work because of this crazy stuff I have.

Currently I take a multivitamin and B-Complex. I eat right, exercise daily, but lately i have been getting sick too dang much. Please help me choose a supplement or lifestyle change that can help me boost my immune system.

I would suggest to start drinking FRESH fruit and vegetable juices (they get in to the bloodstream much quicker than if your colon had to start digesting everything first).

Try to get a lot of sleep and rest so that your body can save some energy to heal itself.

Drink A LOT of water to help your body get rid of toxins.

Hot water with lemon and honey will help to cleanse your liver.

Broccoli and Carrots contain lots of anti-oxidants.

Hope this helps

Wishing you all the best !!!! http://www.longhaircareforum.com/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

I agree with Kytrona, it could be the fact that you aren't getting enough rest.

You're welcome for the link Anky. One important thing I posted on that link was about laughter. Laughter also builds up the immune system and is very powerful. There are doctors in some parts of the world, like India, who prescribe laughter for their sick patients. Here are a some jokes for you. http://www.longhaircareforum.com/forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

THE MAGICIAN ON THE CRUISE SHIP

A magician was working on a cruise ship in the Caribbean. The audience would be different each week, so the magician allowed himself to do the same tricks over and over again.
There was only one problem: The captain's parrot saw the shows every week and began to understand what the magician did in every trick. Once he understood that, he started shouting in the middle of the show:

"Look, it's not the same hat!"

"Look, he's hiding the flowers under the table!"

"Hey, why are all the cards the Ace of Spades ?"

The magician was furious but couldn't do anything, it was the captain's parrot after all.

One day the ship had an accident and sunk. The magician found himself on a piece of wood, in the middle of the ocean, and of course the parrot was by his side. They stared at each other with hate, but did not utter a word. This went on for several days.

After a week the parrot finally said: "Okay, I give up. What'd you do with the boat?"
