Prevent the Flu
by Blanche Levine (NaturalHealth365)
You can prevent the flu without using toxic chemicals. After all, why would anyone want to inject themselves with a flu vaccine containing mercury, formaldehyde, aluminum, and MSG?
Conventional medicine may not admit it, but there are literally dozens of natural ways to boost your immune system without the risk of vaccine-related injuries.
The ultimate defense against colds and flu - First, reduce your sugar intake. Eating too much sugar in the form of cane, beet, and fructose can devastate your immune system. It does this by messing up your gut flora and acting like the fertilizer for pathogenic bacteria, yeast, and fungi overgrowth. Keep in mind that 80 percent of your immune system is in your gastrointestinal tract.
Take vitamin D3 on a daily basis.
Numerous studies link vitamin D and influenza. This vitamin up-regulates genetic expression of antimicrobial peptides known to exhibit broad-spectrum protection against bacteria, fungi, and viruses. Dr. John Canell, founder of the Vitamin D Council, helped introduce the idea that vitamin D deficiency may actually be an underlying cause of influenza. He found that people with the lowest levels of vitamin D had significantly more colds and flu.
Vitamin D experts agree, the most important factor for flu protection is maintaining a healthy vitamin D serum level of 50 - 80 ng/ml. Most people are extremely deficient - so get tested and get those levels up through sunlight exposure or vitamin D supplementation.
Are you getting enough vitamin C?
Vitamin C supports a healthy immune response to pathogens of all types. It works synergistically with vitamin D3 and is found in foods like wild-crafted camu camu, fresh herbs, dark green vegetables, and, of course, organic berries. Vitamin C is probably the most researched immune-supporting vitamin on the planet. So if you seriously want to prevent the flu - eat plenty of vitamin C-rich foods on a daily basis.
Do you know about Echinacea?
Echinacea, a potent herb, has been studied as an effective flu stopper. According to "Western Herbs for Martial Artists and Contact Athletes", Echinacea kills influenza viruses in vitro and in real time studies it was found that Echinacea stimulated the immune system within 24 hours of ingesting. Now that's exciting results!
