Oscillococcinum

We all know about the seasonal flu and H1N1 by now. I was feeling sick about a week ago and immediately I took oscillococcinum for the recommended two days(3 times a day, every 6 hours). My illness lasted about 4 days total and it did not progress. Of course, I ate right(fresh homemade chicken soup) and made sure I was hydrated everyday. My son was sick and I gave him the same regimen and his lasted about 3 days and was in uniform for his soccer playoff game. Conventional medicine and alternative medicine is not 100% effective, however we have some choices available to us that have alot of research to support their uses(conventional and alternative medicine). Remember always check with a healthcare professional(Doctor, pharmacist) if you need assistance with medications or supplements.
