Immune System
Benefits of Acupuncture in Treating Immune Deficiency
Boosting immunity has become the buzzword of the last two years of the pandemic as everyone has examined ways to keep their immune systems strong to repel Covid-19. And most people understand that our immune systems are like the guards of the body’s cells, tissues, and organs. A strong immune system will repel the worst of bacterial invaders so infection can be avoided at all costs. continue reading
TOP 5 FLU/VIRUS PREVENTION SUPPLEMENTS
TOP 5 FLU/VIRUS PREVENTION SUPPLEMENTS
*Vitamin D-(liquid form)-This important vitamin is crucial in the Winter. I also use my Happy Light while Im on the treadmill or even reading for about 20 minutes a day. This encourages natural Vitamin D makingJ and definitely improves my mood.
*Zinc– Liquid zinc is important for immunity and for Zapping viruses in the body and throat. I like to put my zinc(2 full droppers) mixed with filtered water into a
small spray bottle. So 2 droppers of zinc, some peppermint essential oil(10 drops), the rest water. Keep these bottles around the house, in the car, by the bed. Spray 2 squirts several times a day and whenever you have a throat tickle.
*Quercitin-takes zinc to cells(think natural Hydroxychloroquine), great for immunity.
*Melatonin– helps with sleep and immunity- 3 to 5 mg before bed. Start low and take 5 if needed.
*Ester C. – Easily assimilated by the body. Great for Immunity- 2000-3000mg
If you would like to add my favorite anti-viral herb, then take Cats Claw(liquid) or Cats Claw(capsule). I like to take this before bed, as it goes to the liver to clear out viruses and bacteria. 2 droppers of liquid or 2 capsules.
Another great layer of protection is a product called Nozin. You apply it with a Qtip just inside your nostrils(smells like oranges) and it kills bacteria and viruses that enter. I love it and feel like its another layer under my mask. Grab it here- Nozin!
Germ Theory: 101
Why do some people always catch a cold, and others don’t?
Viruses, germs, and bacteria are everywhere. They are in the food we eat, the air we breathe and the water we drink, but not all of them are bad or harmful.
Think of the immune system as your body’s security detail. The cells, tissues, and organs that comprise it help repel foreign invaders like harmful bacteria, parasites and other microbes that can cause infections. Disorders of the immune system range from everyday annoyances like mild seasonal allergies to serious illnesses like leukemia. Stress, lack of sleep and other common conditions can contribute to a weakened immune system, which can make you vulnerable to infections. continue reading
