Vitamin C - The Front Line Fighter  Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant that protects immune cells from free-radical damage and enhances the function of white blood cells that fight pathogens. It also supports your body’s natural defenses and may help shorten the duration and severity of illness. VITAMIN C WE'RE TAKING: We currently take Mary Ruth's Vit C daily (drops), but it isn't super cost effective for high dosing. For high dosing needs, I like Bulk Supplements powder .

When we are sick or are starting to feel run down we apply this to the bottoms of feet and our collar bones. Lemon is a great antioxidant support and very cleansing. Clove and cinnamon are rich in compounds that help inhibit the growth of unwa

I’m not anti-doctor. I’m anti paying thousands for things we can safely support at home. There are certainly times where medical care is necessary, but 9/10 these things can easily be managed (and prevented) at home...if you’re prepared.  This is coming from a mom (me 🙋‍♀️), who once took her 2 month old to the ER...for...a...cold.

It helps trap viruses, bacteria, and other irritants, keeping them from spreading deeper while carrying immune cells that fight infection. While it’s uncomfortable, mucus signals active healing.
