London Drugs’ Flu Season Survival Guide
Pharmacists say being Proactive and Prepared is the key to Flu Season Survival
Taking simple, yet highly effective, steps to preventing influenza (flu) can prevent a trip to a busy hospital emergency room during the upcoming flu season. Influenza can be very serious for those who have health vulnerabilities such as senior citizens, pregnant women, or people with chronic health conditions. Influenza causes about 20,000 people to get admitted to the hospital and about 4,000 deaths in Canada each year.[1]
London Drugs is joining health agencies across Western Canada to ensure Canadians are prepared to combat the seasonal flu, which can help free up emergency room space for emergency situations.
“Being proactive and prepared is the key to surviving the flu season,” said Gail Rowan, Pharmacy Operations Manager for London Drugs. “By getting the influenza vaccination early in the season, as well as taking some simple and healthy preventative actions, you not only protect yourself, but you protect others because you are less likely to spread the flu.”
Knowing the difference between a common cold and the flu is as important as being proactive and getting the flu shot early.

Imagine waking up in the morning, short of breath and unable to walk from your bedroom to your kitchen without gasping for air and needing to rest for 15 minutes before moving again.
As a Cystic Fibrosis patient, with lungs that were working at minimum capacity, this was 28 year old George’s life. Requiring an oxygen tank 24 hours a day, George was on the wait list for a double-lung transplant, and wasn’t certain he would live to see his next birthday.
In 2010 everything changed. One family, facing tragedy, made the life-saving decision to donate their loved one’s organs. And their loved one’s lungs went to George.
It’s been four years since George received the gift of life. He no longer wakes up short of breath and the only gasping for air he does is when he is riding his bike over 200km’s per week; training for a 1,200km ride from Vancouver to Banff this summer.
Thanks to one person’s selfless decision to register as an organ donor George is alive today.

“Juice Like Joe Cross” – Reboot with Joe, Juice Diet
You’ve seen Fat, Sick & Nearly Dead. Now you’re ready to do what Joe did. Here’s how to get started and on your way to weight loss and health!
First, let’s break it down for you…
What is a Reboot?
A period of time where you commit to drinking and eating only fruits and vegetables, herbal teas and water in order to regain or sustain your vitality, lose weight and kick-start healthy habits that recharge your body and get your diet back in alignment for optimal wellness.
Eating? Joe only drank juice, he didn’t eat?
Yes, Joe drank juice for 60 days but then he followed those 60 days with three months of eating and drinking fruits and vegetables. Sixty days is extreme but Joe was in an extreme situation. You do not need to juice-only for 60 days or even only juice to benefit from a Reboot.
During a Reboot, you’ll commit to consuming only fruit and vegetable juices for a period of time. 3 days, 5 days, 15 days, 30 days? It’s your choice! The goal is to help you break a cycle of an unhealthy lifestyle and simply enhance the quality of your diet by increasing your intake of fruits and vegetables.
