NATURAL CURES The word “vaccine” comes from the Latin word vaccinium, meaning “berry.” Most varieties of berries are regarded as “superfoods” because of their high antioxidant content. Also, oregano provides more antioxidants than blueberries, oranges or apples. Antioxidants are intimately involved in the prevention of cellular damage, which is the common pathway for cancer, aging, and a variety of diseases. Antioxidants are molecules which can safely interact with free radicals and terminate the chain reaction before vital molecules are damaged. Since berries and other superfoods cannot be patented to make money for the shareholders of major pharmaceutical companies, we are not being properly educated about this logical and natural option. Far more media attention focuses on the consumption of medicines and pills rather than sensible holistic cures. Unfortunately, one of the largest industries in the world and employing the most powerful lobbyists in Washington D.C. is the pharmaceutical industry. Big Pharma is Big Business! Eating the “superfoods” and maintaining a healthy diet with a daily exercise routine is the best way to prevent the onset of any disease or sickness. Medical research has shown that regularly eating blueberries, which are naturally high in antioxidants, can help people lose abdominal fat, improve memory, and even prevent cancer. Alkaline foods and water are key to preventing and fighting off diseases and illnesses. If you are drinking tap or bottled water, it can be acidic. Cancer and other diseases thrive in an acidic environment. Lemon and grapefruit are alkaline. Other citrus fruits such as oranges are acidic. A two week fast featuring honey and lemon water made from fresh squeezed lemons is an excellent way of detoxifying the system and retreating from an otherwise acidic diet. There are reports of people with life-threatening conditions whose health was seemingly miraculously restored using this kind of honey and lemon water fast. It is possible to avoid medicine altogether when treating seasonal flu symptoms with the organic approach. Green tea extract combined with turmeric is excellent as a preventative and treatment. Turmeric, and more specifically, curcumin, its primary active ingredient, continues to shine as an awe-inspiring, anti-cancer superfood spice with a vast array of tangible health benefits. Taking Vitamin D supplements or getting a daily dose of sunshine can fight off influenza and is a better way to prevent colds altogether, thus avoiding the need for flu shots. Resveratrol is also beneficial. St. John’s Wort was apparently used with efficiency against H5N1 in Vietnam. Garlic is an effective natural sulphur-based compound which is effective against MRSA. Mucosolvan, or ambroxol hydroxide, is very effective against lung and respiratory injury. This compound also has antiviral properties and anti-inflammatory benefits. To fight the onset of a cold, one should increase Vitamin C and D3 levels orally. It’s important to maintain electrolyte levels continuously depending on status. A person has about 72 hours once infected with the flu to take remedial action. Symptomatic treatment is fine, although it would be a race against time to organically treat the root cause of the illness. All people should sweat daily and have at the very least one full and complete bowel movement every day. Our output of toxins should be equal to our input in order to keep the cells oxygenated and the blood at a slightly alkaline level. Also, “shocking” the body with hot and cold appears to be very healthy for the body. Those cultures of people who live the longest have a tradition of shocking the body with hot and cold applications. For example, the people of Scandinavia routinely take hot saunas on cold days, and those in Russia will come out of a warm house and take a cold dip in the water. Those who live in tropical climates will benefit from taking cold showers on hot days. Alkalizing factors include drinking fresh, pure water; breathing deeply; smiling or laughing; eating dark, leafy greens; eating citrus fruits; being in nature, singing or listening to/playing music, and thinking positive thoughts. Acidifying factors include hearing, thinking, or saying harsh/bitter/angry words; being upset in a traffic jam; feeling jealous or vengeful; over-working; over-exercising; not getting enough sleep; eating acidifying foods; inhaling or being exposed to acidifying chemicals; and using electronics for too long, such as TVs, radios, computers, and cellphones. This basically includes anything that reduces the amount of oxygen being delivered to the body, especially, for example, being in a stressful or fearful situation—wherein humans subconsciously begin to breath shallowly.
