There are always people getting sick due to acute infections or other illnesses. But do you notice how there are certain months when the number of sick people seems to rise? Perhaps the weather is to blame. Or maybe the change in our lifestyle during those months is to blame. Whatever the reason is, we should not just give in to the idea of getting sick, thinking there’s nothing we can do – because we can definitely do something.
For prevention, you need to know first the state of your immune system. The kind of protection, as well as the appropriate level of prevention will be based on how well you are at present.
David Sloan, a seasoned practitioner with about 37 years of expertise in the field of Natural Medicine believes that you have seven ‘Health Rights’ that you should use to keep yourself in top shape – Think Right, Move Right, Eat Right, Drink Right, Eliminate or Poop Right, Sleep Right, and Breathe Right. When you live by these ‘rights’ then your chances of staying healthy for the whole year is very high.
But if you are always stressed, not well-rested, constipated, not drinking enough water, not exercising regularly, and eating poorly, then you definitely need to supplement to give your immune system and your entire body the support needed so it won’t yield to any health threats. Of course, the level of supplementation you need depends on how susceptible you are to infections, too. Simply put, if you are healthier or stronger, then your needs will not be as much as someone who is weaker.
On top of those healthy lifestyle habits, here are some important supplements that you should take to help keep your immune system strong:
- Multi-Vitamins and Minerals
- Antioxidants and Greens Formula
- Extra Zinc, Vitamin C, Selenium, and Iodine
- Fiber Supplement
- Omega 3 and High Antioxidant Flax Hulls
- Vitamin D
- Male or Female Support Formula
- Immune Support Formula
- Specific Strain Probiotic for Cold Prevention
The Cold Support Probiotic contains the specific strain of friendly flora that can destroy cold viruses nicely. You can take one daily for prevention and one to two if you already have a cold. In addition to the Cold Support, if you are developing symptoms or sick, you’d want to start on monatomic silver which is safer and better than ‘colloidal silver. This is like a natural antibiotic but is also effective for fungal, viral, and parasitical infections.
Take 1 teaspoon every two hours. Increase Vitamin D to 20,000 IUs or so. Increase your Vitamin C increase to about 3-4,000 milligrams daily and your Zinc intake to about 100-150 milligrams. If your throat is sore, you can gargle with the silver for a minute before swallowing. If what you have is dry, and hacking cough, use Ipecac 6 or 30CH every hour or so. If it feels worse when talking, drinking, or eating, take Drosera 6 or 30. If it tickles in the throat, take Rumex 6 or 30. If there is a huge buildup of mucus, take Coccus Cacti 6 or 30.
If you are not sure what kind of cough you have, you can use a Homeopathic Complex which has several of the cough remedies combined. You should also avoid getting a flu shot, as well as antibiotics if possible. Increase your fluid intake and cut on sugar and dairy.
Of course, it is important that you detoxify on a regular basis to keep impurities from building in your organs. You can contact Sloan Natural Health Center for our great detoxification programs that we can tailor for your needs.
