Hi all, I am new to this forum, and was very surprised someplace like this exists. I thought I was one of a very few that suffered from this phobia. I have been reading through some of the posts, and I can soooo identify with the feelings of the posters.
The question: What do you all do to keep well? When I am feeling good enough to eat (which has been iffy lately) I take a multivitamin, garlic tabs for their antibacterial/immune support qualities, acidophilus (the liquid kind you find in the refrigerated section of the natural food store-you don't need to eat with this) and if I can remember, I take a packet of Emergen-C drink mix.I feel better and more able to fight the nasties if I stay on my daily regimen. Unfortunately, I have been going downhill lately, and having more trouble with this phobia than I ever have in my life, though I have had the phobia since childhood.
Anyway, nice to meet you all. :)

daff- I have been doing a lot of reading on this subject. And if you are
REALLY serious here are a couple of proven facts that will boost your
immune system. This is serious commitment though...
Eat at LEAST 5 servings of raw organic fruits and vegetables daily.
Do not eat anything with artificial sweetners, colors, or preservatives
Do not drink any type of soda- drink 8 glasses of water a day
Cleanse your system
Do not eat anything out of a can (it is full of preservatives and chemicals)
Eat only organic foods
the list goes on and on and this not only boosts your immune system, it
should also help your mental health, BUT I don't think that is necessarily
true with people that have severe issues.
I've been reading the Kevin Trudeau book and this is just a small part of
his book on how to boost your immune system, but he says if your body
is healthy and free of toxins, you would never get any type of viral or
bacterial illness because your body would always be able to fight it off. I
saw a psycho-somatic medical doctor this week with big time credentials
and he told me the same thing. Eat what comes from the earth. If you
can't pronounce the ingredient, don't eat it.Edited by: lgood22573

Welcome Daffodil!!!
lgood...I wish I had that kind of strength, but darnnit, I really like pop! And I rarely buy fruit, and cannot afford organic foods.

Wow! I AM interested. What is the name of the book? That would be a big shift for me. I am a vegetarian, and have been for 12 years, and try to eat organic when I can, but I also have a major sweet tooth. I am intrigued, though.
Have you tried this? I would be interested in any info you have on the subject, either on the forums, or you can email me at [email protected]. Thanks!

I try to eat a healthy diet. More whole foods than processed. I try to buy foods that are high in fiber and protein, organic fruits and veggies when I can. I also take a daily multivitamin and make sure I eat breakfast every day and drink a lot of water.
Exercise helps too. And of course, practicing good hygeine.
