The key is keeping their immune systems up to try and prevent illness. Sambucol is something else I used to use and I see it referred by many Naturalistic Doctors. It is good for flu and colds. It's main ingredient is eldeberry juice concentrate. :) I have also used SilverBiotics which just tastes like water. The juice I've added to a little apple juice as it is a bit strong/bitter. A good probiotic is also beneficial especially during this time to help build the good bacteria in the gut (part of the immune system). Avoiding a lot of sugar and dairy are also something else I do when they are sick as it tends to contribute to inflammation in the body. Hope that gives you some more ideas to put in your tool belt.<BR/><BR/>CarrieCarrie Pettiecordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09798642083768336217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8719499255804821889.post-25559804350308632332008-11-29T18:12:00.000-06:002008-11-29T18:12:00.000-06:00Thanks for the vitamin suggestions!

They are called Source of Life Animal Parade. They come in several flavors, are dye free, vegetarian and free of most common allergens: wheat, soy, dairy and yeast. <BR/><BR/>Here is a link to them online:<BR/><BR/>http://www.iherb.com/ProductDetails.aspx?c=1&pid=7537<BR/><BR/>My boys prefer the grape flavor. The watermelon flavor is a little sour for them! ;)Jenneferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13654642651122725268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8719499255804821889.post-36900618089637174512008-11-25T06:15:00.000-06:002008-11-25T06:15:00.000-06:00We have been dye free for almost 8 years now.

Not only does this help our children to stay focused and calm, but it means healthier eating for all of us! :o)<BR/><BR/>Finding foods and medicines without red dye in particular has been quite a struggle sometimes. Medicines are our biggest problem and only now are we able to find more of them without dye. Thanks for the great list you've given here!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
