What people are saying about my Virtual Cleanse Program..

"Dr. Cory's cleanses are one of the most important thing I have done for my health.  I haven't been sick in over a year since the first cleanse class and I have much more energy.    The cleanse has also helped me to better understand my nutritional needs so I can make sure I eat enough of the right kind of foods.  It provided a great boost towards permanently change my eating habits. "

Green Company Highlight:

The Green Office.com

I was so excited when I came across this great company because I was starting to get really frustrated at the lack of recycled and eco-friendly products in most of the Big Box office supply retailers.  The Green office lists  eco-friendly product first, and they offer all of your supply needs, have competitive pricing, free shipping for orders over $50, and my products arrive in the mail the next day.
Do right by yourself and the planet!

Dr. Cory's Top 12 Flu Prevention and Treatment Tips

As I mentioned in last weeks pharmacy bamboonewsletter, I am more concerned about the potential health damage from the flu vaccine, than treating the  actual flu.  But an ounce of prevention can go a really long way when it comes to the Flu- swine or otherwise.

If you would like a review of why I am opposed to the flu vaccines, take a look at this post on my blog.

So let's start with Safe and Effective Flu Vaccine Alternatives.

Muccocinum: My Numero Uno
MucococinumUsed effectively in Europe for decades, thishomeopathic remedy provides a whopping 88% effectiveness rate for preventing the flu- no matter what strain is going around!No flu vaccine is even coming close to that.  And, it's super simple: Take 1 tablet every other week from October to March. You can also take it to treat flu symptoms. And while it sounds similar, it is not the same as over-the-counter Oscillococcinum.

Mucococcinum: It's cool. It's Euro. It works and it's on sale in my natural pharmacy 'til November 10th!


So what can YOU do to protect yourself and your family?

The list below includes some common sense practices, dietary approaches and specific products that I have seen work incredibly well.

I am a big advocate of having a stocked medicine cabinet. If you can address symptoms at the onset, you can often prevent a cold or flu, greatly shorten its duration and/or prevent it from turning into something nastier- like bronchitis, pneumonia or strep throat. 
When you are sick the last thing you want to do is go to the store and stare at the shelves wondering which of the hundreds of products is going to work best for you.  And you certainly don't want to sit at home not taking anything that could improve your recovery because you are too sick to go to the store and you don't want to ask for help. 

So let me help you. 
I've done the work and have seen over the years what is most effective. All my immune support products are 10% off until November 10th, and I will include information on how to take everything most effectively so there is no guess work for you.  I want you to be happy and healthy!

If you have questions about using products with pregnancy, or which ones are safe and most effective for kids, just ask!. I have some specific products that are great for babies and kids.

SO here we go...my Top 12 for Preventing and Treating the Flu

1. Wash your hands frequently.

2. Avoid touching your nose, mouth, or eyes, with dirty hands as this is how viral particles are spread. Avoid or limit contact with people who are sick or might have been exposed to the flu.

3. Load up on raw green vegetables and drink green juices, wheatgrass, and sprouts, which offer your body high energy foods to help alkalinize your body and resist infection. Use a green powder superfood.

4. Boost immune function by supplementing with Vitamin D or Cod liver oil with Vit D.  It is an essential winter immune support staple.

5. If you tend to have a weak immune system, or catch everything going around, then I recommend a formula called Multi Thymus Complete. It is the bomb. It can be taken daily, or increased as needed. (Please note: it is not vegetarian)

6. Have your medicine cabinet stocked with remedies that will help with the flu. I like Muccocinum, Acute Immune Formula, Flu-Ease, and IM-Encaps . Additionally, I like to have support for cough elixir and sore throat spray on hand.

7. Catch up on extra sleep.

8. Eliminate or cut down on sugar.

9. Give up alcohol and coffee for a while. These substances tax your liver and do you know that the liver plays an important role in immune function? Consider a cleanse.

10. Engage in stress-reducing techniques, such as meditation, hiking, guided imagery, fun and creative endeavors.

11. Mix 1/4 tsp of baking soda in water and drink it once a day. This helps alkalinize the body, which helps it fight infection. Make sure you are drinking at least 8 cups of water/day minimum. Avoid ice water.

12. Don't panic. Stress reduces immune function, and there are so many supportive things you can do to protect yourself and stay healthy!
