Before you rush to the doctor this cold and flu season, take note of the pros and cons of antibiotics and flu shots. Supporting your immune system is key, so here’s how you can be safe, no matter which path you take. |
Have you noticed that people around you are starting to get sick? It seems that cold and flu season has arrived in full force.

Even if you do get sick this season, the severity and longevity of illness is highly dependent on the strength of your immune system and your body’s ability to fight off the invading virus. And if you DO choose to get the flu shot or swine flu shot, a strong immune system is a MUST to help prevent potentially serious side effects.
