Why do some people get sick and stay sick most of the winter? Why do some teachers, flight
attendants, doctors and nurses seemingly NEVER get sick? Why are school age kids more susceptible to colds and viruses?
These questions open up enough discussions to fill a book. In fact, they have filled many books! The bottom line is that your immune system--which over 90% of your immune function comes from your gut, your digestive system and your colon. If you digest foods completely, if you maintain the correct acid/alkaline balance, if you avoid foods that are filled with hormones, additives, preservatives, pesticides, and foods that come in bags, boxes or cans, then you are well on your way to supporting your immune function. And in supporting the immune function, you make your body stronger and better able to fight off those attackers such as viruses and bacteria.
Many of the teachers that are my patients routinely begin taking immune boosting supplements and herbs when the school year begins. Some of their favorites include a product manufactured by Premier Research Labs, Arlington, Texas, called Nucleo Immune. They take one per day. However, if they have many students sick, or begin feeling a bit "off", they step that dose up to about 3-4 per day.
Another popular item in our clinic is a liquid Liposomal Vitamin C. Linus Pauling, who received a Nobel Peace Prize for his work in the research of Vitamin C, discovered that Vitamin C, taken in large doses would knock out a cold or virus in seemingly record time. The challenge with some forms of Vitamin C, is that if you take enough to wipe out the virus, you could very well end up with a case of diarrhea--equally unpleasant and unpredictable if one must work away from home. However, Liposomal C has a delivery system that goes into the cells more quickly, bypassing the gastric disturbances; so, one can take much more without the deleterious side effects. A teaspoon of Liposomal C, taken every 20 minutes at the first sign of illness can dramatically shorten the lifespan of the illness that is trying to take hold in your body.
Colloidal Silver is another popular liquid immune defense and bacteria fighting product. We utilize several forms in our clinic--Nature's Sunshine makes an amazing gel that can be used as a hand sanitizer (good for about 4 hours) and can also be put on a Q-Tip and swabbed into the nasal passages. This helps to repel unwanted bacteria from entering the respiratory system. Another great Colloidal Silver product comes from a company called Silver Wings and comes in multiple dilutions/strengths. We have these products on hand at Health By Hands
Wellness.
Last but certainly not least--WASH your hands OFTEN!!! Use the anti-bacterial wipes offered at grocery stores to wipe the handles of the grocery carts. Have you seen how many kids literally chew and try to cut their teeth on the handles of shopping carts? These are the same kids that just got picked up at day-care exposed to 50 other kids with snotty noses and coughs! Use the Silver Gel on your hands after you wash them!! The Silver Gel is much better than the synthetic and chemically toxic hand sanitizers that are on the market. Wipe off pens, counters and DOOR KNOBS AND HANDLES and apply Silver Gel to them as well.
Get a humidifier--when the heater is turned on, the air becomes dry and creates a situation in your respiratory system and nasal passages that is a perfect breeding ground for "bugs". Running a humidifier in the bedroom or a whole house unit will also help alleviate sore throats, sinus drainage and upper respiratory system issues. Just be sure to clean it regularly---you don't want to be growing mold in your humidifier--cleanliness is very important!
Drink plenty of good, clean water (a quart for every 50 pounds of your body weight) and decrease sugar as much as possible! Teach your children to do these things! Keep your house and home as clean and clear as possible!
Here's to your Better Health and a Happy Immune System!!!
