Hi Ladies,
We have the flu. It's moving through our house in pairs. It's a respitory (sp?) one not a stomach bug (praise God!). We will get through it and are doing the best we can, but my question is this: How do you clean/ sanitize so you don't get the same bug twice?

What I'm doing now is spraying lysol *ick!* and doing lots of laundry- especially the sheets. I am also using plastic drinking cups so we can write our names on them...

is there anything else you would do? Any laundry tips?

I suppose we need to continue to boost the immune systems too so I will keep up the fluids, vitamins, and probiotics.

Thanks and God Bless!

elderberry.. it's a specific for the flu virus (as in actual influenza) but it's also good for fighting any virus.

GSE (grapfruit seed extract) is also a good anti-viral.. and you can also use it diluted for cleaning.

Thanks Jodie,
We have something with elderberry, which we've been taking maybe that's why it hasn't been that severe.

I haven't heard of GSE. How would you use it? Could you put it in the wash? Or is that silly?

no definately not silly.. you can use it in the wash... I don't really know anything about the brands.. but I found one brand with a lot of info on how to use it around the house.. (so I'm not recommending that brand necessarily but the website was great)

http://www.nutriteam.com/gse.htm

Lots of links to follow to read on the different things.

The "table of weights and measures" will tell you the dilution to use for various applications.
