BUILDING THE FOUNDATION OF
WINTER HEALTH 
THE TRUE UNIVERSAL HEALTH CARE
 
 
As we enter the Fall, with its cool, dry, and windy weather, there are many practices we can undertake to build the foundation for winter health.
 
 
1. SEVERAL APPLES  A DAY KEEPS THE
DOCTOR
AWAY
 
Apples are a wonderful, natural anecdote to Fall.
Summer has been hot, and Fall tends to be dry and
windy.  AS a result, our bodies may try to re-balance
and produce overreactive mucus, that can become a breeding ground for germs.  Apples are a wonderful seasonal food solution, and so inexpensive.  Through apples, our colon is cleansed of summer's hot and fall's dryness.
 
Our local farmer's markets are already brimming with
apples---what a great way to support our local
economy.   We have two orchards right here in New
Hartford---Hayward Farms and Burdicks.  From now,
until November, you will find a fresh apple awaiting you
at Passiflora. And, hopefully CHEF CAROL, our kitchen
desert goddess, will certainly get the "apple bug"
and produce apple deserts, along with LITTLE WOMEN's
KITCHEN, a long-time friend of PASSIFLORA.
 
2. RUN AROUND NAKED IN THE SUN----
BUT ONLY AT
MID-DAY
 
Vitamin D3 is one of your best insurance policy's
against seasonal flu.  Everytime you expose your
skin to 20 minutes of the sun, between 11am and
1 pm, you are building up tens of thousands of Vit
D3, stored to create a strong immune system for the
winter. Because people are so deficient, due to
our lifestyles and diet, we recommend a "do no
harm dosage" of 2,000 IUs of Vit D3 supplement
 a day. At your next physical, have your 25-hydroxy D
level checked in your standard blood work,
to make sure you shouldn't be taking more.
 
The Public Health Agency of Canada is investigating
the role of Vitamin D in prevention of the Swine Flu.
In a study conducted in 1946, a researcher discovered
that mice that received diets low in Vitamin D were
more susceptible to experimental swine Flu infection.
The  present-day researchers are investigating the
theory that Vit D increases the production of anti-microbial substances in the body that possess neutralizing
activity against a variety of infectious agents.
 
We recommend a FOOD BASED VITAMIN D by MEGAFOODS.
 
3. COMMUNITY IMMUNITY IS INCREASED THROUGH THE USE OF ESSENTIAL OILS
 
David Crowe, the owner of Floracopeia essential oils,
has conducted amazing blogs and podcasts on his
Web Site about the crucial role that essential oils play
in "Community Immunity".  To quote, David:
 
"Since the 1800s, scientific research has compiled a
substantial body of evidence demonstating that essential
oils have powerful anti-microbial effects against
a broad range of bacterial, viral and fungal pathogens.
Essential oils are part of the plant's immune system,
created by evolutionary intelligence, primarily for
repelling pathogens."  David goes on to discuss the
science as to why the most effective way to reduce
contagion with essential oils is through diffusers and
nebulizers.
 
For example, a forest community such as pines and
spruces contain monoterpenes which are these big trees
ways of protecting themselves and repelling pathogens.

WONDERFUL OILS.  ALTHOUGH WE REGULARLY

Dear Passiflora Friend,

I recently listened to an excellent tele-seminar with David Crow,
a master herbalist and well-known author.

It was extremely illuminating and very much worthwhile.
Thankfully, the whole thing was recorded.

David and his company, Floracopeia, have made it available for any of my
contacts to listen to and download free of charge for a limited time period.

It's called The Dharma of Essential Oils and the Flowering of Spiritual Culture.
It is a profound synthesis of medicine, ecology and spirituality and I highly
encourage you to check it out.

You can listen online, download it to your computer and/or burn to a cd
or put on your ipod. Click the link to the right  to check it out.
