That Lingering Feeling
Sometimes that lingering feeling can be something absolutely wonderful
that we want to retain - to remember a lovely moment in our lives, but
today I'm writing about the lingering feeling we are not very happy to
have.   This winter season I have noticed that many people who were sick
with colds and/or the flu had or still have difficulty getting over their
illness.   It can be a lingering cold, cough or fever or continued achiness
and/or tiredness.  What can you do to get over a lingering illness?

Blood Tests
First of all, if you find that you are not getting over an illness, you should
go to your doctor for a check-up and possibly get some blood work done to
make sure your prolonged illness isn't due to a mineral or vitamin
deficiency, a hormonal imbalance or a virus/bacteria that needs to be
treated.

Sleep baby Sleep
Many times a person gets a relapse of their illness because they simply went
back to work too early.  Always give yourself at least one more day of home
rest after being ill.  By staying home one more day – you may prevent
having to stay home for another week or more.

Last month I discussed the importance of sleep to prevent illness.  Sleeping
and resting is also one of the most important things you can do to get over
an illness.  

Cough
One of the easiest methods to get rid of a cough is to take an onion, cut it in
half and place it on a plate on your nightstand next to your bed while you
sleep and close the bedroom door.  Try this for several nights.

Bye Bye Sugar
Remove products with processed sugar from your diet and cut down on
sugar in general.  Sugar stops the neutrophils (a type of white blood cell)
from engulfing and destroying bacteria.  Research shows this weakening of
the immune system begins 30 minutes after ingesting glucose, fructose,
sucrose, processed honey and even processed orange juice and can continue
for up to 5 hours.

Reflexology
Sometimes despite doing all the right things to get better, an illness just
seems to linger on.  This is where Reflexology can be so important.  
Reflexology can help the body get over an illness that has dragged on.  
Think of Reflexology as pressing the "reset" button on your computer after
trying everything else to get your program to work again.   By pressing
points on your feet and/or hands, Reflexology can help you restart again
stronger and help you finally get over that lingering illness.

If you or someone you care about needs a "reset" please
contact Oran.
