Our Little Secret


We here at the Kelley Fam have little secret I would like to share. For almost a year now I have been drinking these Danactive Immunity Probiotic yogurt drinks. When I first bought them, I wasn't really sure they would do anything but thought it wouldn't hurt to try. You are supposed to drink one a day. They also come in 8 packs. Since we have started doing this, the sickness level in our house has dropped dramatically.
It used to be that every winter, all winter, someone in the house was sick. We would pass everything back and forth. Since I'm not a fan of the flu shot for myself or my children I was looking for something else we could do. Here it is. These bad boys are 4.18 for an 8 pack at Wal-mart. And it is so worth it. I make all my boys drink it. Sometimes they miss a day or two but, what can ya do?
At first I wasn't making Cullen because he was breastfeeding and getting his immunity through me. Now, however, I've been making him since he got sick and we quit breastfeeding. Anyhow, we have had bouts with the sniffles and what not but then I push the danactive and vitamin C and voila'...problem solved.
Now everyone who knows me, knows that I am a sickie. I've had the flu numerous times. Pneumonia over and over again (hospitalized in OSF in Peoria one time), Mono, you name it, I get it.
This past year, nothing.
This fall I started to get sick when we didn't have any danactive for about a week.....I ran right out to get it and doubled up on it.....fixed.
I'm telling ya, this stuff is a miracle in a bottle.
Tristan is my only one who isn't that into yogurt...and he is now coughing his head off. I told him. don't drink your danactive and look what happens. Geez. Now he is drinking it.
So, check it out and buy it up!!
And don't forget to drink it EVERY day.


On a separate note took my first zofran tonight. Oh thanks heavens for this stuff.
Not all the yuckiness is gone but, better anyway.
I might live through this pregnancy after all.

Hey did everyone see that Scott Brown got elected!!!! WOOT!! WOOT!!
We now have a glimmer of hope....yeah!

can you take this stuff if your pregnant? I'm assuming you can..?

Anna said...

OK. You took my drug, so I'll take yours. At this point I'm willing to try anything! We've been sick with this cold/flu thing for 3 weeks and it doesn't look like it is getting any better.

i don't think there is a lactose free version, that I know of anyway....it's only like 4 oz. I think though.

Yes, you can have it when you're pregnant.

hope you guys get feeling better, Anna!
