Staying Healthy This Winter

With all the bustle associated with the Holiday Season, we offer the reminder that starting with our Holidays and peaking in February is the season of more flu and cold related illness than any other time of the year.

So, please take extra care to stay infection free! Colds, flu, bronchitis and pneumonia are no fun. They can change wonderful family and Holiday times into "miserable" times almost overnight.

Here are our best suggestions to have a "misery free" winter.

1. Keep the harmful bacterial count in your sinuses and throat at LOW levels via sinus rinsing and gargling with an non-irritating, antiseptic liquid (Aloe Vera Power, Silver Biotics, etc.)
2. Keep the beneficial bacteria count in your gastrointestinal tract HIGH by consuming probiotics (kefir, probiotic supplements, rejuvelac, etc.)
3. Keep your immune system powerful by having optimum levels of Vitamin D3, glutathione, iodine and other immune boosters (see below).
4. If necessary, turbocharge your immune system with Mal-X and C2It.

Our Most Powerful Cold and Flu Response Tactics:

• Rinse Nasal Cavities and Gargle with Silver Biotics - this nanosized silver liquid is far superior to colloidal silver. It kills virtually all pathogens on contact.
• Take six capsules a day of Mal-X - this proprietary extract of Tea Tree Oil is the most powerful assistance on earth there is for helping your immune system to rid your bloodstream of pathogens. It's amazing with Cold-Sores as well.
• Drink several bottles of C2It - to supercharge your body with beta glucans, arabinogalactan and other immune system boosters that will give your immune system a turbo charged killing power.
• Boost your Probiotics levels - good health depends on a clean gut. When pathogens are able to have a stronghold in the gut, they can constantly infect one from inside. Probiotics are the safest way to rout them.
• Boost your Vitamin D3 levels with 5,000 or more units a day - prison managers have found that giving Vitamin D3 to inmates is a heck of a lot cheaper than traditional medical care. If prison managers are willing to do this to keep costs down, that means it's really effective and you should do it, too.
• Boost your Glutathione levels with six capsules or more a day of MaxGXL - just because this suggestion isn't at the top of the list, doesn't mean it isn't really important. In the big picture, optimum levels of Glutathione are absolutely vital for a well functioning immune system. Your health will never exceed your levels of Glutathione for long.
• Boost your Iodine levels with Magnascent Iodine - Iodine is essential to immune function. Most people have far too little Iodine in their bodies. This type of Iodine works within seconds of entering the bloodstream.
• Don't eat or drink sweets, grains, potatoes, pasta or fruit juice - all of which are really just sugar as far as the immune system is concerned. Just a few grams will turn down your immune system fighting power by up to 50% and turn up the growth rate of harmful microorganisms by 200%.
• Drink lots of water - the universal solvent, water, is important for enabling the body to clean itself of all the billions of dead "bug" corpses you have created by doing everything above.
  

Below we explain why our suggestions will help so much (and then we have a final suggestion at the end):

Silver Biotics, an American Biotech Product, contains nanosized silver that destroys virtually every type of microorganism known to man.

• In Congressional reports, Silver Biotics was confirmed to kill every type of microorganism tested, including MRSA and malaria.
• Rinsing the sinus cavities and throat with Silver Biotics is powerful for helping prevent flu and cold microorganisms from entering the body through the nose and mouth.
• So, get a bottle and use it to rinse your sinus cavities and gargle several times daily, at the first sign.

MAL-X or MAC Immune Support, contain a proprietary distillation of Melaleuca Tea Tree Oil that has broad spectrum, anti-microbial properties.

• Melaleuca Tea Tree Oil, from Australia, has been known for centuries to be a potent anti-microbial natural product. But, because of toxicity of many of the monoterpenes in the oil couldn't, heretofore, be used internally. 
• 10 Years of research into tea tree oil distillation has resulted in proprietary special concentrate of Melaleuca Tea Tree Oil that avoids the toxic compounds of the oil, allowing it to be used internally with amazing benefits.
• This powerful extract has been encapsulated and is simply amazing at how it helps the immune system deal with pathogenic bacteria, viruses, fungi, parasites and mycoplasms. It is your best chance to beat the flu, once it's inside your body. It's also your best option for stopping cold sores and colds. 
• Try it and be a believer. It even stops Dengue fever.

 

C2It, an Integris product, contains the following, powerful immune system boosters:

• Beta Glucans - are among the most powerful helpers you can get for the immune system. They work by activating macrophages — by increasing interleukin 1 and 2 and and lymphokine.
• Arabinogalactan - is a newly discovered immune system aid that has been shown to energize immune cells, assist in the release of gamma interferon and help strengthen natural killer (NK) cells.
• Vitamin C - the secret of the animal kingdom for staying healthy. Dogs and cats bodies produce the equivalent of 5,000 mg per day. (Also onion soup, and EmergenC are great sources of Vitamin C.)
• Elderberry Extract - the flavanoids in this berry inhibit virus reproduction.
• Zinc - is a well studied ingredient that has been shown to shorten cold duration by half.
• B-Vitamins - Folic Acid, Vitamin B12, Vitamin B5, Vitamin B3 - strengthen the immune system and one's ability to handle stress
• Minerals - Zinc, Calcium, Chromium, Potassium and Sodium are depleted during stress. And as your minerals go, so go you. They are vital.

Probiotics are critical to the health of the body because of the propensity of the gut to become a stronghold of pathogens.

• Many wellness professionals believe that the "flora" condition of the gut is the major factor in health; that a clean gut promotes good health and a contaminated gut promotes poor health. 
• What they are talking about is which kind of microorganisms are living in the gut. If the beneficial ones are living there in abundance (80% or more), one's gut is considered clean. But, if the pathogenic ones are gaining a stronghold, then one's gut is considered contaminated.
• Microorganisms either produce noxious, toxifying wastes or beneficial chemicals which pass into our bloodstream to weaken us or strengthen us.
• When infectious microorganisms increase in numbers in our intestines, and their toxins increase, we feel sick, and the intestines try to get rid of those microorganisms and toxins by creating diarrhea.
• Therefore, at the first sign of an infection, reach for probiotic foods or supplements and ensure that your intestines stay "clean".

Vitamin D3 is arguably one of the most important molecules in the body. It plays a key role in mineral utilization, immune function and energy.

• Scientists have learned that the presence of Vitamin D in the body is critical to the immune system being able to properly identify friend and foe. 
• When Vitamin D3 levels go low, your immune system will actually attack self-tissues, instead of attacking invading microorganisms. So, you'll be experiencing collateral damage, instead of the productive killing of the bad guys.
• Bottom line... don't run low... your Vitamin D3 readings should be between 60 ng/ml to 90 ng/ml.

MAX-GXL boosts Glutathione. Glutathione is essential to immune system functioning because its absence is a rate limiter for production of immune solders.

• Glutathione is one of four endogenous antioxidants, and arguably the master antioxidant.
• It works within the the mitochondria to resurrect other spent antioxidants.
• Glutathione protects the the immune system because each immune system "soldier" has to be equipped with glutathione or else it would be on a suicide mission - unable to deliver its free radical payload into an attacking microorganism without being destroyed itself.
• Glutathione is also a thiol, a molecule capable of detoxifying the body.
• When the glutathione molecules in the body become depleted because of infectious microorganisms, toxins or stress of any kind, we rapidly become run down and unable to continue defend our self from invaders.
• That's why boosting glutathione levels with MaxGXL (which gives up to a 400% boost in glutathioine) is one of the smartest things for anyone to do at the first sign of tiredness, stress or possibility of infection.

Magnascent Iodine provides instantly useable iodine, that doesn't have to be digested, assimilated and converted before use. It will instantly empower your immune system and help your body remove a buildup of toxins.

• Often, we have stated that the most important elements in the body are oxygen, Vitamin D3 and Iodine.
• Interestingly, more than half of us have enough oxygen in our bodies. About one fourth of us have enough Vitamin D3, but only 2% have enough iodine. So, very likely, you, and anyone else you know, doesn't have enough iodine, and in a time of infection, your body will be fighting microorganisms without sufficient iodine.
• Iodine is important for making phagocytes that engulf and destroy foreign bacteria, and neutrophils that destroy bacteria, viruses, fungi and mycoplasmas.
• The time to boost your iodine levels is before an infection, but if you have procrastinated, then the only type of iodine that will help immediately in a crisis is Magnascent Iodine because it's instantly useable.

Avoiding Sugar is probably the best advice that can be given on the subject of health, at any time.

• But, during a time of infection, avoiding sugar is critically important.
• Sugar is the main fuel for growing fungi, viruses and pathogenic bacteria. To pathogens, sugar is like gas is to a fire.
• It isn't just table sugar, that needs to be avoided, however. Any food, that changes into sugar during digestion, is just as bad as sugar. Bread, rice, pasta, potatoes should all be thought of as "lumps of sugar".
• And especially, fruit juices should be thought of as sugar. Orange juice a terrible choice when you have an infection.
• In terms of enabling microorganism growth, there is very little difference between sugar, bread, soda pop or orange juice. Avoid them all.

Drinking lots of water is advice that most anyone will give you for staying healthy and recovering from any infection. It helps the body remove toxins.

• The advice to drink lots of water should be self-evident. You could substitute herbal tea, but absolutely no fruit juice.

Here is one bonus bit of advice.

If you can create fever in the body (at the first sign), you can help your body to more rapidly 'end' an infection. The trick is to let the fever go high enough to significantly kill microorganisms, super-activate your immune system and mobilize the lymph draining and other garbage removal systems of the body, without doing yourself any damage. Sauna is recommended to do this. It is safer than artificially inducing a fever in a bathtub.

However, if you don't have access to a sauna, then getting in warm water in the bathtub is also viable, but you'll have to monitor the water temperature (so you don't accidentally burn yourself) and you need someone to stay with you to ensure your safety. The goal is to increase your internal body temperature into a 103 to 104 degree range for up to 30 minutes. Be wise - if your body reacts adversely to fever, then don't proceed!

Well, that's it for this blog. We want you to be completely healthy and energized this Holiday season. The above advice can help make sure that happens. Just remember to use our advice in concert with your own health professional.

Best in health to you.
