What is the latest on the flu shot? Last year there was a shortage and this year it is slowly being released. The peak time to get the shot is now, so that you have a good six weeks to build up anti-bodies before the flu starts really circulating.


The questions most asked is..”Should I get the flu shot?” If you have a reasonably healthy immune system, the answer is usually no. If you have a weakened immune system the answer is yes.

Then the next question that follows....”What alternative do you have for the shot? We do carry products by Heel.

Heel Products are a line of homeopathic remedies with a protocol for flu. Engystol is a group of homeopathics designed to stimulate a non-specific defense system in viral infections, including influenza, cold sores and feverish conditions. As with a majority of Heel products, Engystol is a sublingual tablet that simply dissolves under the tongue. The protocol designed by the company is to simply take 2 tablets per the first five days of each month during the flu months. The only contraindication is for those who are lactose intolerant.

The next product in the protocol is Gripp-Heel that includes different homeopathics that help with the temporary relief of symptoms of influenza, including fever, malaise, body aches and painful joints.
