Seems like there is an army of nasty cold cooties floating around the air this past week attacking many of my patients.

My favorite remedy for a head cold with or without a sore throat, and the flu is Wellness Formula, by Source Naturals. I take it whenever I am around people who are sick or coming down with something.

This is a formula to keep on hand this time of year.

Wellness Formula is the #1-selling vitamin and herbal winter supplement. Wellness is uniquely effective because it goes deep to the root cause of body system imbalances. This Bio-Aligned Formula supports interlocking components of the immune system-mucous membranes, cell-mediated immunity and humoral immunity-and also addresses antioxidant defense, stress response, and the respiratory system. A megapotency of vitamin C, plus echinacea, goldenseal, astragalus, propolis and garlic, have made Wellness Formula a welcome companion in the cold-weather battle.

You can find this at The Vitamin Shoppe, Whole Foods and online at Amazon.com or www.sourcenaturalscatalog.com
