One of my points.

We are required by law to wash/sanitize our hands and changing area after
every diaper change.  I also started using one of those waterless
sanitizers everytime I wiped a snotty nose.  I have noticed a difference in
how often I start to feel bad since doing that.  I seem to come down with
things less often, which is good.

Since I've been doing the single mom bit for years, I know whereof you
speak.  Fortunately, I was able to be home with my children for their
earliest years.

Now, to bring this a little closer to our list, does anyone have recipies
for good tonics that can be taken on a regular basis to help the immune
system or to help keep from getting sick when ever I start feeling "run
down"? 
I know that when I get certain feelings, if I eat lots of oranges I won't
get as sick as when I don't.  But I am interested in some good tonic
recipies...
