Swine Flu - What to do?

A little nervous over the Swine Flu? Worried you might not want to battle it with drugs and days and days of bed rest? Know an elderly person you fear might not handle it? Does your child’s health about this illness have you anxious? Would you like a few suggestions that can only help? Here are a few top quality, made in USA, NSP products that will help.

The first list has supplements that will prepare your immune system so you can ward off ever getting it, or if you do, will fight it much easier.

Immune Stimulator invigorates your immune system by activating T cells, “Stimulates body’s natural defenses to kill unfriendly microorganisms, viruses, bacteria, allergens, molds and parasites.” “Promotes the repair of DNA.”
Vitamin D3 is needed for those that never get enough sunshine. Sunshine makes vitamin D, without Vitamin D, our immune system is sluggish. D3 is the converted D needed by the body.
Defense Maintenance contains many antioxidants, cruciferous vegetable powders, vitamins, and minerals that support immune response. (Adults)

For those that haven’t been through the dregs of puberty yet, Elderberry Defense is the supplement to kick that immune in gear. Elderberry is the single best herb for the youngun’s. (kids) or
Herbasaurs Chewable Elderberry supports immune and respiratory systems

So you didn’t think you could catch an illness, and now your coughing, feverish, and stuck in bed. Here are a few suggestions once you have an illness, or if you have been exposed.

Vitamin C Citrus Bioflavonoids are needed by the immune system, and are used in large amounts once we are ill. Or
Zinc Lozenges are a source of water soluble Zinc and Vitamin C Citrus Bioflavonoids, both of these are essential for an immune system under attack.
Silver Shield is Colloidal Silver, the first antibiotic. Silver Shield is the strongest water-soluble colloidal silver there is. Just 1 teaspoonful provides a full 90 mcg of pure silver without heavy metal contamination.
VS-C, a Chinese formula designed to eradicate viruses, says right on the bottle creates an environment unhealthy for viruses.
Ultimate Echinacea is the strongest single herb for adult immune system. Ultimate Echinacea combines the synergistic benefits of the three most popular Echinacea species into a powerful immune system combination. NSP assures the quality of its Echinacea.
L-Lysine strengthens circulation and helps the immune system manufacture antibodies. L-Lysine enhances immune action, an amino acid needed by it, and helps regulate ph balance. If your ph is correct, pathogens die.

If you are in pain and taking acetiminephin, Ibuprofin and aspirin, you might try Phenyltol w NEM

My husband Bill had total hip replacement surgery 5 weeks ago. We are grateful for answered prayer, great surgeon and herbal supplements.

I wrote blog about Surgery Supplements that we used and you can click here to get that information.

Billy got off the prescription pain killers and was taking a combination of Tylenol, Ibuprofin and aspirin. Then we were listening to the CDs of the “Natural Cures they don’t want you to know” by Kevin Trudeau and he was saying how 2000 people died last year from taking an aspirin and that all synthetic medicines are bad for you.

We knew this, but hearing it again triggered me to say that I knew there was an herbal Natural pain-killer that supports the body’s natural healing and that I think I had some. So the next day Billy did not take the 3 over-the-counter medicines and instead took the Phenyltol w NEM. He said it worked great so he is now off of all synthetic drugs!!

Please pass this info on to people that can be helped by it.

All this in one simple supplement Nutri-calm

Along with prayer we also used great Herbal supplements. Many of you wanted to know what we did. We got the ’surgery preparation’ sheet from ‘Nature’s Treasure Chest.’

Dirk McDaniel is an expert herbalist and iridologist and he has been using Nature’s Sunshine Herbs for 25 years. Along with the above, He said:

“I have had better luck with HSII over Capsicum
I have had better luck with Olive Leaf Ext over Astragals
Buy the bulk Una D’ Gato and make as a tea
If you use Protease also use IF-C”

We didn’t do any of the prep stuff as Billy got the surgery right away due to a cancellation (answered prayer!). He had been taking lots of Vitamin C * and Citrus bioflavinoids and we added in colloidal silver . *A Dentist told me to stop taking vitamin C 24 hours before any surgery as it can intefere with the anesthesia, so we stopped it 24 hours ahead.

After the surgery we continued on the colloidal silver and then added in Bifidophilus, COQ10, vitamin e with selenium, THIM-J, vitamin C and protease plus (as per the sheet above) and also IF_C as per Dirk.

The doctor puts the patients on ‘coumadin’ for a month so it is important to keep taking the same supplements daily (THIM-J and IF-C have greens in them that affect the coumadin). They test his blood twice a week and cut his dosage of coumadin way down since we are really addressing that with the herbs.

Silver shield - we are putting on some silver now that the stitches are out as there was a little inflammation.

Also the pain killers they give after surgery have codeine in them and that constipates. He was given oxycodone w acetaminiphin and so we used gentle move - 4 in the evening and that worked very well.

We are feeling very blessed to have been able to get the hip replacement surgery, getting it so quickly, having great herbs to heal so quickly, lots of prayer from so many caring people and lots of love and organic healthy food. Yea God.

Starting out the New Year
A ‘Clean Start’ for the New Year - Order Now so you can start in January

I have taught classes and given speeches entitled,
“Why do we take better care of our car than our body?”

When I ask the audience to raise their hands if they have changed the oil in their car in the last few months - most hands go up.
They do maintenance regularly on their car because:
1) it came with a handbook that tells to do that
2) it keeps the car under warranty
3) the vehicle will run smoothly and effectively when it’s fluids are clean

Then I ask for hands to go up if you have done a cleanse for your body in the last 6 months. Very few hands go up.

Why ?
We weren’t taught to cleanse internally, we didn’t come with a warranty or handbook.
We were taught basic hygiene, take a shower daily, clean teeth, smell good.

Just like a car will perform much better with clean liquids like oil and transmission fuel, it is the same for our human body.

We can easily clean internally:
* Pull out toxins
* Rotor rooter out the ‘goo & glue’ American diet
* Beef - hormones young girls puberty menopause problems
Antibiotics resistant bacteria
* Twinkies food additives
* remove plaque causing Malabsorption
* Fungi parasites love the warm goo great breeding ground
leads to Leaky gut holes in lining

HOW To Cleanse
Colonics - Trudeau suggests 15 colonics in one month!
Bill, my hubby puts colonics in the once in a lifetime category!
Get 10 sessions in a month $600 and takes lots of time

I wanted Effective, Easy, Safe, Inexpensive

My son Daniel, when he was teaching nutrition at Body Mind College, introduced me to:
Clean Start.   I loved it - (fluffy poops!) Now they have a wild berry, personally I like that much better than the apple.

Clean Start - always colon first, has enviro- detox so it helps rid the whole body of all the toxins, has bentonite clay that really pulls out toxins,
psyllium roto rooters out the gunk in the colon, has aloe to soothe as it cleans…

When to cleanse? At least 1 x a year
When would NOW be a good time to lighten the load?
Detox, unblock blockages so you can absorb nutrients

Watch your amazing human body heal, get vibrant, have energy
Less gas, mind fog, pain, inflammation allergies

Human Body Handbook says cleanse internally!

Do it and experience how much better you feel

The only difference between a taxman and a taxidermist is that the taxidermist leaves the skin.
Mark Twain

I’ve been asked to explain syndrome X a little more, to have a better understanding of it. Syndrome X is caused by lack of dietary omega 3s and/or too much omega 6s, transfats, and rancid fats. This combination makes the cell walls thick and therefore insulin and cortisol resistant. Syndrome X always leads to diabetes, loss of eyesight, heart attack, muscle loss, exhausted endocrine system, sleep apnea, and the diseases of stored inflammation.
Syndrome X affects the liver by making it oxidize cholesterol, therefore elevating blood triglyceride levels. It affects the kidneys by making them mishandle sodium and potassium, with the result of gout and joint inflammation. Syndrome X causes inflammation of the arterial walls, elevated blood pressure, blood clot formation, and narrowing arterial passages. It affects the pancreas and adrenals by exhausting them, by them struggling to control blood sugar over excreting insulin and cortisol in an effort to get the blood sugar balance under control. It affects the ovaries, testicles, pituitary, and thyroid by causing them to excrete excess hormones that are clearly out of balance. Syndrome X causes lack of blood sugar in the brain, so you have foggy thinking, slowed reaction time, and a desire to go out and vote. Syndrome X causes acid shell growth by triggering the cellular receptor sites for sugar, causing acid.
Some types of essential fatty acids are linolinec acid - ALA, eicosapentaenoic acid - EPA, and docosahexaenoic - DHA. There are many others, but for this article I’ll concentrate on these three, for it is the growing opinion these are the critical three. These oils are the basis for hormones, healthy cell walls, and intelligent thinking. These are the slow the age rate down oils.
It is the opinion that the conversion of ALA to EPA and then to DHA, the brain-nerve fatty acid, in humans is severely limited. Women have higher ALA conversion efficiency than men, most likely due to the lower rate of utilization of dietary ALA for oxidation. In the book, The Real Benefits of Omega 3 Fatty Acids in Fish Oils as Opposed to Seed Oils, is listed the factors that inhibit the ALA conversion. It shows that the efficiency of ALA conversion can be adjusted by altering one’s diet, by altering the ratio of omega 3 and omega 6 fatty acid intake, reducing alcohol consumption, eliminating high fructose corn syrup, and supplementing vitamins and minerals. However, it has also been argued that it is the absolute amount of ALA, rather than the ratio of omega 3 and omega 6 fatty acids, which affect the conversion. Further testing will need to be done to justify either opinion. Nevertheless, it is near impossible to have an excess of non-rancid omega 3 oils in the body, so supplement them. Many have the opinion that omega 3s should be seven times higher than omega 6s for optimum health, the American diet is opposite this ratio.
I am continually asked why I recommend an alkaline diet, and what is an alkaline diet? An alkaline diet is a diet that emphasizes, to a varying degree, fresh fruit, vegetables, roots and tubers, nuts, and legumes. Our hunter-gatherer ancestors consumed a diet very different from what’s typical today. The diet was based on minimally processed plant and animal foods. But with the advent of agriculture, the standard western diet changed greatly. Grains were introduced into the diet after the appearance of stone tools. Refined grains were available after the invention of automated rolling and sifting devices. Milk, cheese, and other milk products were introduced with the domestication of livestock. Pasteurized homogenized milk products became available after the need for extended shelf life. Salt consumption rose when technology to mine, process, and transport it became available. Meat consumption increased with animal husbandry. It further increased with the advent of technology that enabled grains and legumes to be efficiently fed to cattle, which allowed cattle to be fattened quickly. Sugar consumption has risen since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution.
All foods or nonfoods that are eaten, after being digested, absorbed, and metabolized, release either an acid or an alkaline base into blood. Grains, meat, poultry, shellfish, cheese, milk, and salt all produce acid, so the introduction and dramatic rise in our consumption of these foods meant that the typical western diet became more acid producing. The consumption of fruit and vegetables decreased, which further made the western diet more acid producing. Nonfoods you say? Since when is coffee, cigarettes, or Twinkies a food?
Healthy blood is slightly alkaline, with a normal pH level of between 7.35 and 7.45. The theory behind the alkaline diet is that our diet should reflect this pH level, as it did in the past, and be slightly alkaline. Proponents of alkaline diets believe that a diet high in acid-producing foods disrupts this balance and promotes the loss of the essential alkaline minerals iodine, potassium, magnesium, calcium, and sodium, as the body tries to restore equilibrium. This imbalance makes people prone to illness.
According to most alternative health practitioners, the shift to an acid-producing diet is the cause of a number of chronic diseases. Many health practitioners recommend the alkaline diet if a person has the following symptoms, lack of energy, excessive mucous production, nasal congestion, frequent colds and flu, anxiety, nervousness, irritability, cysts and tumors, polycystic ovaries, benign breast cysts, headaches, joint aches and pains, muscle stiffness or pain, apnea, constipation, diarrhea, advanced age, and low libido.
Although conventional medicine believes that increasing the consumption of fruit and vegetables and reducing the intake of meat, salt, and refined grains is beneficial to health, most doctors do not believe that an acid-producing diet is the foundation of chronic illness. In conventional medicine, there is evidence, however, that alkaline diets will help prevent the formation of calcium kidney stones, osteoporosis, age-related muscle wasting, loss of blood sugar control, and advanced aging.

Bill Irwin, a Cranial Sacral Therapist, practicing in Murrieta, CA is delighted with “Cinnamon Leaf Oil” from Nature Sunshine. “I feel it is cleaning out little pockets of infection. I feel warm and wonderful! I pour about 1 tablespoon of flax oil into a shot glass and add 1 drop of cinnamon oil.

I am taking it once or twice daily. Now that I know about the wonderful effects, if I feel an infection coming on I will increase my dose to every few hours.”

ADD and ADHD

A colleague in Colorado that is an herbalist, iridologist and natural medicine practitioner has had great success using 2 simple supplements to alleviate ADD. I asked him:

“Re your ADD and ADHD success - Can you give a couple of sentences about the many teachers in Colorado sending kids to you and using the DHA and focused attention and how that is better and safer than drugs.”

His answer:

Subject: DHA and Focused Attention from NSP

“After experiencing the affects of Ritalin, and the groggy listless non intuitive affect it had on children, many teachers, that are real teachers, preferred a mentally awake child to teach. After several parents had their children go from bouncing off the walls to near “normal” kids, they preferred the way the non drugged kids responded. These kids get better grades than the Ritalin kids do too. I also had them reduce caffeine and sugar to help the supplements.” JDM

The supplements are DHA and Focused Attention

DHA Softgel Capsules Stock No.:1513-5

Take 1 softgel with a meal three times daily.
so need to order 2 bottles      Retail $25.45 member $16.95

Focused Attention Capsules Stock No.:1833-4

Focused Attention Powder Stock No.:1843-0

                                                 Retail $35.25 Member $23.50

click the links and read about them. JDM has had great results using these 2 together. Pick either the Focused attention powder or capsules, and get 2 DHA to have enough for the first month.

For total vegetarians, use flaxseed oil instead of the DHA.*

* Focus Attention, Flaxseed Oil Capsules, Gingko Gotu Kola, Magnesium Complex, and B Complex.

Seems like a lot, but found all these are needed when you don’t use DHA. JDM

When my son was younger he was quite restless. He became very aggravated and aggressive and I realized he was eating food that aggravated his system. We used the Elimination Diet to help him. It is work, but if you find that the DHA and Focused Attention help, yet you need to do more – then click this link:

Elimination Diet by Dr Cranton

A little LACK of sunshine can hurt. Oprah’s Dr. Oz says to get 10 minutes of direct sun exposure to your body or take Vitamin D supplement once a day.Dr. Cedric F. Garland, P.H. cancer prvention specialist at Moores Cancer Center at UCSD and colleagues estimate that 250,000 cases of colorectal cancer and 350,000 cases of breast cancer could be prevented by increasing an intake of Vitamin D3, especially in countries North of the Equator (that’s us).

The best way to get your Vitamin D is from exposure of the skin to UV-B which is in sunlight. Unfortunately, the amount of sun reaching most of us in the the U.S. is not enough. Most of us don’t live far enough south or high enough in the mountains, to allow the amount of Ultraviolet-B to reach our skins. Therfore, for those of us that do not get enough exposure to the sunlight our body needs, we may consider an hight quality oral form of Vitamin D.

In addition to what’s been mentioned above, vitamin D is also responsible for maintaining normal blood levels of calcium and phosphorus and for helping to build strong bones. Vitamin D works with other vitamins, minerals and hormones to promote bone mineralization. Additionally, research shows that vitamin D may help support a healthy immune system.

NSP Vitamin D3 contains 2,000 IU natural vitamin D3 derived from lanolin harvested from the wool fat of sheep from New Zealand and Australia. These animals are certified BSE-free. www.healingcard.com
