(AP) - Donovan McNabb is more
likely to be compared to Joe Mon­
tana, John Elway and Dan Marino
than Hugo Boss, Giorgio Armani or
Gianni Versace.
The live-time Pro Bowl quarter­
back took a break from tossing
passes for the Philadelphia Eagles
to launch his own line of casual
men's clothing under the Reebok
label. He hosted a fashion show
Nov. 7 to introduce his "Super Five"
apparel.
"This is very near and dear to
me," McNabb said. "I took a lot of
pride in the design, the comfort
level and the look."
While models strutted down a
makeshift runway inside the RBK
Concept Store on South Street,
McNabbdescri bed the clothes they
wore with intimate detail. He seemed
to know as much about materials
and textures as he does cover-2
defenses.
The "Super Five" line ranges
D onovan M cNabb
from T-shirts and fleeces to knit
sweaters and vests. And, sizes go
up to5X L.
"I've always wanted clothing that
was casual and comfortable, but
had a more refined look and feel,"
McNabb said.
McNabb grew up in Chicago in
the 1980s and admired M iehael Jor­
dan. He said he treasured his first
pairofNike Air Jordan sneakers like
"they were gold."

As winter is approaching, we
must learn tools to keep us healthy
and well. Naturopathic medicine
can help battle the bugs this winter.
The first aspect of prevention is
living a moderate lifestyle: eat well,
rest well, drink well, and live in joy.
Sounds easy, right?
If you feel yourself beginning to
get sick, you can try any of the
following things to avoid or shorten
the illness.
Get rest as soon as possible.

Get the Most Out of Your
Medicare. Get the Flu Shot.
Your body is giving a signal to slow
down. Relax and take it easy. What
is your body telling you? Listen to
the answer!
Drink plenty o f fluids. You
should drink half your weight in
ounces of filtered water and/or
herbal teas.
Eat very lightly. Yourappetiteis
normally reduced when you are
sick. Let your body rest from di­
gesting complex food so it will be
better able to fight the infection.
Clear your mind. Try journaling
or deep breathing exercises to help
clear your mind of any anxiety,
worry, or lists of things to do.
Give yourself a home hydro­
therapy treatm ent. Salt W ater
Gargle: Put Vitsp of salt into warm
water. Gargle the salt water 2-3 times
a day. Warming Socks: This treat­
ment increases white blood cell
count, will clear mucus from the
head, open the nasal passages, and
provide a restful night sleep. Thor­
oughly warm the feet in a shower,
tub or footbath. Soak a pair o f cot­
ton socks with cold water, wring
them completely and place them on
your pre-warmed feet. Place a heavy
pair of wool socks over the wet
cotton socks and go to bed. It really
works!
Take immune enhancing supple­
ments like Vitamin C: Take I (XX)mg
every 3-4 hours with food. Cut back
on dosage if stools become loose.
Zinc: Take 30-50 mg once daily
with food (tablet or lozenge). Dis­
continue when well.
Take immunity enhancing herbs.
Astragalus, Echinacea purpurea
(Purple Cone Flower), Glycyrrhiza
glabra (L ico rice), L igusticum
(Osha), and Berberis (Oregon Grape
Rtxit) are al I known for their power­
ful immune boosting properties.
These can be taken as teas, tinc­
tures, or capsules. Consult your
physician with any questions on
products, dosages, or if your symp­
toms worsen.
