Caromed is recognized around the world as a leader in the development of new surgical compression garments.

These surgical garments are the highest quality garments available, incorporating

* controlled compression

* Support

* Comfort

As H1N1 influenza A (swine flu) spreads, keeping hands clean is one of the most important ways to prevent infection and illness. “Frequent hand washing is probably the single most effective and simplest intervention you can do to protect yourself and your family,” according to Dr. Judy Daly, spokesperson for the American Society for Microbiology.

it is applied by simply spraying onto the palm of the hands and rubbing them together for a few seconds, until air dried. It forms a microscopic coating on the skin, and becomes bonded to it. You cannot see it or feel it, but can rest assured it is there.

Once it is applied to your hands it cannot be washed off and will not lose or have its killing action diminished after washing. Indeed, it is recommend that you continue to regularly wash your hands as this removes the dead microbes and exposes the surface of Q Shield™, ready to deal with the next infestation. The only way it comes off the skin is by abrasion, or with the skin as it exfoliates.

Is your staff becoming sick with Swine flu?

Who touched the Key board last? Did they have clean hands? Has someone sneezed on the desk top you are about to touch?

Impossible questions to answer – so protect yourself and your staff first.

Cold and flu viruses need an acidic environment that lacks oxygen to live.  When your diet consists of a lot of processed, refined and sweet foods, you are creating this ideal environment.  No wonder so many kids get sick right after Halloween!

Do you read the ingredient list on all of your food and beverage labels before your buy them?  If a 2nd grader can’t pronounce the entire list of ingredients on the food label, you are probably consuming too many processed foods and chemicals.  The goal is to get back to eating REAL food and making WATER your primary choice of a beverage.

1)  Eat a vegetable-based diet to create an alkaline environment in your body.

Vegetables help create an alkaline environment in your body.  Viruses cannot live in this environment.  Kids need at least 2-3 (1/2 cup each) servings of vegetables daily.

Have cut up vegetables sitting out for kids to snack on before dinner.  Include a salad with every dinner meal.  Throw some shredded carrots into the muffins.  Add some pumpkin to your pancakes.  Throw a handful of fresh spinach into the smoothie.  Don’t assume your kids won’t eat their vegetables.  My kids now ask for salads and carrots.  Be a good role model, as adults should be eating 4-5 servings daily.

Go organic if it is on the “dirty dozen” list.

The “dirty dozen” list contains the twelve fruits & vegetables most heavily sprayed with pesticides.  This list was compiled by the Environmental Working Group from approximately 87,000 studies by the USDA and FDA of 47 fruits and vegetables between 2000 and 2007. It is estimated that if you avoid eating the non-organically grown produce on this list, your pesticide exposure can be reduced by up to 80%.

Here are the “dirty dozen” listed in decreasing order of pesticide content:  Peaches (worst), apples, sweet bell peppers, celery, nectarines, strawberries, cherries, kale, lettuce, grapes, carrots and pears.

Buying organic produce is a little more expensive initially, but preventing pesticides, which tax your immune and lymphatic systems, from entering your body is worth it.  You will also begin to notice that when you are fueling your body with REAL food that contains live enzymes, phytochemicals, vitamins and minerals, your appetite decreases.  This is because you are now nourishing your body’s cells and no longer just feeding your mouth with empty calories.

2)  Satisfy your sweet-tooth without sugar.

Sugar creates an acidic environment in your body and lowers your immune system.  This includes the corn syrup that is found on your ingredient list.  Great substitutes for sugar or fake pancake syrup are raw honey, 100% pure maple syrup or agave nectar.  We use raw honey to replace the sugar in muffin recipes and real maple syrup to sweeten our oatmeal.

Honey is also a great cough suppressant.  You can give your child a teaspoon of honey to calm his or her cough or stir it into a cup of warm water or herbal tea.  Please note the children under the age of 12 months should not consume any honey (even in baked goods), as their intestinal tract is not developed enough to handle the botulism spores.  Corn syrup and molasses also contain botulism spores and should be avoided in infants under 12 months of age.

Use fruit to satisfy your family’s sweet tooth.  Fruit, like vegetables, produce an alkaline reaction in your body and therefore decrease your risk of getting a cold or the flu. Kids should consume 2-3 (1/2 cup) servings of fruit per day and adults should aim for 3-4 servings daily.

Try frozen berries topped with organic yogurt and a little honey or agave nectar for a real treat.  Apples with a little peanut butter are a great after-school snack.  You will be amazed to notice that when you increase your fruit intake, your intense sugar cravings will go away.

3)  Get outside and move your body daily.

Be sure to get outside for at least 15 minutes daily to get fresh air and sunshine.  You get vitamin D from the sun shining on your skin.  Vitamin D helps turn on the body’s immune response.  This could be as simple as walking your child to school or taking a 15-minute family-walk after school.

Ideally, you will move your body for a total of 30 minutes daily.  One of the most important reason to get your body moving is for the stress-reduction benefits.  Excess stress increases your body’s acidity and will cause you to be more susceptible to the invasion of viruses.  Exercise also helps increase your intake of oxygen and viruses do not like an oxygenated environment.

4)  Get plenty of sleep.

Lack of sleep will increase your level of cortisol, which is a stress hormone.  Cortisol increases the acidity of your body, which then increases your susceptibility to cold and flu viruses. Recent research validates the need for adults to get between 7-8 hours of quality sleep per night.

Kids ages 5-12 need 10-11 hours of sleep per night.  For the best sleep, they should not have a TV in their bedroom or it should be unplugged.  Younger kids need up to 12 hours per night and most adults will need 7-8 hours of restful sleep per night.

5)  Keep Your Nose Clean.

To prevent viruses from entering your body, you need to keep your nose clean.  The Neti pot (Food Co-op) is a small ceramic pot designed specifically to flush out your nose.  Just add warm salt water to the pot, tilt your head, pour the water into one nostril and watch it come out the other nostril.  You can also swab the inside of your nose with warm salt water.

When traveling or sending your kids to school during cold and flu season, coat the inside of your nostrils with sesame seed oil.  It is anti-viral, antimicrobial and anti-fungal.  What an easy preventive strategy!
