Do any of you take any supplements or vitamins etc on a daily basis??
I don't, only when I start feeling tired or sick or something. I don't like taking any kind of pills, even vitamins

I take echinacea.......1 tablet daily and it's amazing stuff. Been taking it for the past 18 months or so and haven't been sick once since I've used it...not even a cold!! :thumbs:
Other than that, I also take 1 "Wellman" vitamin tablet daily. Good stuff......highly recommended and occasionally a fizzy Vitamin C tablet (like Cal-C-vita)

I honestly believe if you eat well enough and enough fruit and veg, you would be okay. I normally get sick with the change from summer to winter, that happens every year though, so I am now prepared for it.
I especially don't drink the fizzy stuff, because you pee that out in about 1 hour

that happens to all vitamin supplements...as you say eating correctly has far better results as to popping tablets.. :thumbs:
by the way a chilli has more vitamin c than an orange...

Then the Poms are obviously not eating correctly......these okes are always off work.
I haven't taken a single days sick leave in the 3 years I've worked here. (not even hangover leave
)I swear by the echinacea though....it works wonders. No matter how well you eat, you're still likely to get a cold at some stage. Since I've taken it.....not even a sniffle AND that includes when I've been dopping and lurk outside in the winter for a few hours in minus whatever degrees, with only a short sleeve shirt on!!

I suffer from sinusitus in anyway, so my sinusses get triggered with the change of season, nothing I can do about that. Other than that I have been a very healthy girl :thumbs:

Toks I used to rely on good old beer!!
Whenever I felt a cold coming along, I'd head down to the pub and try BLAST it out of my system!! :haha:
Honestly, it had about a 70% success rate.....but wasn't totally infallible.
I never used to take any vitamins/pills etc......doc even battled to get me to take them when I was sick. Then a number of people told me about good old echinacea as a good preventitive measure for colds and flu etc. I had an open mind and thought nothing to lose by giving it a try and it's been amazing!!As for the aneurysm...there's not much you can do about that. So your record is still good. I'm talking about minor ailments....some people stay off work when they cut their baby finger!!
