Anonymous Coward User ID: 32780392 Germany 01/22/2013 04:39 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | i've known a few people who didnt get sick... no not at all... Quoting: Dr. Acula flu season came around... they would just go about sneezing, snotting and hacking and coughing... but they never ever ever got sick I notice for me, that any time the weather does a flip flop, like when it is cold and becomes suddenly warm or vice versa. I get sick. No amount of vitamins, rest or 'healthy' eating or activities seem to avoid it. That is because of your lifestyle. Heating at home. Wearing furry thick clothing during winter and thin clothing during summer. Instead of trying to get used to the conditions of weather, most try to fight it. That's one of the main reasons why so many get sick when the weather changes. I can see how this is true. I could have sworn I had read somewhere that when you are cold, it causes a temp boost in your immune systems responses. I would only assume that constant manipulation of our internal body temps 'thermostat' could cause irregular responses. Humans can toughen themselves in any kind of way. I can walk around with some basketball shorts and a t-shirt while it's only 14 Fahrenheit and it feels comfartable like spring. |

Well I wouldn't consider myself a teenager anymore, but I'm almost 24 now. I bet you could still work on your cold conditioning. It also has a lot to do with the mind. I guess that's why teenagers probably have it easier, because they don't give a fuck anyway. Honestly though, it is part mind game, part volition. :D |

I take Solar Ray Spectro multi-vits and they are simply amazing... but I still succumb to something either during the fall, or the spring. You can harp all you want and use your logical fallacies to 'justify' your MO...but a spades a spade. |
Children of the Atom (OP) User ID: 20257839 United States 01/22/2013 04:53 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | And by succumb i mean, head congestion or chest. Never anything else. I can't tell you the last time I puked - it feels like forever. Typically too, I might feel a 'bug' coming out... typically it does go out... but ya know, into the toilet kind of out. But IDK, maybe it is allergies but like here in Ohio, it was nearly 40ish. Then, the weather flips completely back, we have snow and it is -6F, and what do you know.. I wake up with sinus / chest congestion and a slight fever. |

Quoting: Children of the Atom Hence why there is 'no' cure for the common cold, it continuously changes its structure and becomes unrecognizable to the immune system... most peoples' defense is good enough, since birth, to stave of illness. it is living in suboptimal conditions that wears out their immune system. you must be an idiot. everybody who does the effort, can get healthy. why don't you? |

TheRingOfAll User ID: 31127090 United States 01/22/2013 05:56 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Saying that you never get sick is like saying that you won't die, tis bullshit. I get sick, but very rarely untill a couple of days ago. Before then I had been two years strong without a cold, but now the COLD has given me susception to a cold. Cough cough, sniff sniff. I don't always get sick but when I do, I uhHUGGHHGGHHUHGH, sorry i'm sick. |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 16815698 United States 01/22/2013 05:56 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I rarely get sick. Probably one flue in the last tent years. My kids got the swine flue when that went around. One was in the hospital on IV's. they were coughing in my face for ten days. I got sick for about six hours. Very mild symptoms. But my immune system crushed it dead and I drove on like a champ. So saying i never get sick is not entirely accurate. But I can say I almost never get sick. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 23244857 United States 01/22/2013 07:03 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Don't remember the last time I had an ordinary head cold. My last illness was severe lethargy and body aches, night-time fever, loss of appetite and an annoying choking dry cough in late 2011. Lost about 10 lbs. That finally went away after shoring up my diet back to a more healthy vegan way. I had really fallen of the bandwagon and wasn't eating healthy when that came on. I suspect it was an adult case of whooping cough. It was running rampant here in California at the time. Before that it was 5-10 years since I was ever sick with anything. I just can't remember. My only sick times is from bad hangovers when I vomit the next day. Haha... actually, I think food poisoning was my other last bad illness with vomiting followed by painful diarrhea lasting all night. (Bad yogurt!) I've never had a flu shot in my life and will never take one since I don't care to get any auto-immune diseases. Every time you come home from shopping or being out in public, wash your hands. Don't touch your face when you are out in public. |

Quoting: Children of the Atom You have an acquired immune system from your mother if you were breast fed, but let's be realistic... without getting sick, you never build an immunity... Viruses also leave imprints on our genetic code, I.E. mutations... This is most probably how all life forms had 'evolved' was through genetic manipulation through viral infection. I am one of these people who claim to never get sick but only because I used to always get sick, hell I used to do it on purpose for the exact reason you mention. I did it to build my immunity. I have not been sick in over 15 years. |
