Hi guys a couple nights ago out of nowhere I got a swollen gland on my right side between my jaw and my ear. A friend of mine was telling me I probly have a cold now cause the lymph nodes are fighting off the infection. Well, the next day it improved and the day after that it was gone. My question is ... did my immune system fight off the infection? Does that mean I have a good immune system? Or did it just go in hiding for a week (incubation or whatever). A few days before this I started eating apples, grapes, sunflower kernels, dehydrated fruit, bananas and a fruit smoothie called "Green Goodness" by Bolthouse Farms. Do you think I fended off an infection because I had these nutrients in me? Cause before I started eating these healthy foods I ate nothing but Pizza and Taco Bell! Thats why I stocked up. You think maybe it was the right time to have done so? lol If these nutrients saved me from the flu, Im gonna kiss each and every one of these vitamins ***
