- Gastro virus - prevention?
Posted by Rob on October 23, 2000

| Just wondering if
anyone knows of a preventative for the gastro virus (or stomach
flu as people call it). I have my kids and myself on a naturopathic
mixture that contains bifidus and I think acidopholis plus probioplex.
I think this helps in building a resistance, but I can't be sure.
My naturopath says yes it does help with resistance. Does anyone
have other advice on prevention apart from the common sense actions
such as washing hands which I drill into my kids etc. thanks

BioActive Nutritional,
the company I purchase my nutritionals and herbals, and homeopathics
has a homeopathic formula called virutox, this works on viruses.
Echinacea, garlic, bee propolis also help. Accidophilus helps
control candida overgrowth, which by the way is many times mistaken
symptomatically for stomach virus. Homeopathics can be purchased
of course at a health food store. Garlic is antibiotic, antifungal,
and antiviral. It's problem is it's smelly and highly effective
and so cheap most nutritional practioners do not prescribe it.
Also health food stores push their other more expensive lines.
