In Case Of Flu—Items To Have On Hand—Your #1 Defense

1) Hydrogen Peroxide. In 1928 Richard Simmons, M.D. hypothesized that colds and flu virus enter through ear canal. The medical community dismissed his findings. According to Dr. Simmons, contrary to what you may think or have been taught about how you catch flu or cold there is only one way that you can catch two, and that's via ear canal not through eyes or nose or mouth as most have believed. We have found good results in curing flu & cold within 12 to 14 hours when administering a few drops of 3% Hydrogen Peroxide (H2O2) into each infected ear, (sometimes only one ear is infected) The H2O2 starts working within 2 to 3 minutes in killing flu or cold; there will be some bubbling and in some cases mild stinging occurs. Wait until bubbling & stinging subside (usually 5 to 10 min) then drain onto tissue and repeat other ear. A bottle of Hydrogen Peroxide in 3% solution is available at any drug store for a couple of dollars. Although this method is perfectly safe for infant/children to use, loud bubbling and stinging frightens them, they'll need someone they trust to put hp in their ears. (Don’t get h2o2 in eyes- if you do, flush with water) 2) Colloidal Silver. Colloidal Silver is anti-bacterial and anti-viral and has been used for hundreds of years for it’s antibiotic affect on body. Most brands are very expensive and are golden in color. This indicates that there are additives in product. Silver is whitest of metals and solution should be clear to a tiny bit white in color. More PPM does not necessarily make a good colloidal silver. In fact lower PPM better able for it to penetrate cell wall. While some will say that silver has no benefit, this is not what we have found at our house. Call your healthcare professional for therapeutic dosages. 3) Oregano Oil. Oregano Oil can be as an effective pain reliever as morphine. For sinus congestion or stuffiness place 1 drop of oregano oil in 1 ounce of warm water. (more is not better) Make sure that oil is dispersed. Place 1-2 drops of mixture in each nostril and sniff. The mixture will burn for about 30 seconds. This will help to break up sinus congestion. Do this 3-4 times daily and before bed. To take orally drop 3-5 drops in a veggie cap and take with food three times daily. Oregano Oil is also anti-bacterial and anti-viral.

4) Vitamin C. Capsules and powder are best. Take up to bowel tolerance. Taking recommended dosage on bottle will not be enough—for preventative purposes, double or triple it. If sick, divide dosage and take some every hour---up to 6 grams daily. According to Linus Pauling, “adults should be taking at least 2-3 grams a day. There is much evidence about increased health with 2 grams a day, and of course even more with 4 or 6 grams a day. Even an extra 60mg had been shown to add value in cutting down death rate from heart disease, cancer and other diseases. Now my feeling is as people grow older they ought to be increasing their vitamin C and perhaps they should follow policy that I have followed of increasing intake. It can be either one chunk, one dose in morning, or even better three doses throughout day, increasing intake until a laxative effect is observed, speeding up rate of elimination of waste material from bowel. So my suggestion is every person who wants to have best of health should increase intake of vitamin C to somewhat less than amount that causes significant looseness of bowel.” 5) Drink lots of fresh vegetable juice and pure, clean water. Flooding body with liquids will help to flush out toxins and will also give body added enzymes (helps with inflammation and pain) and nutrients. 6) Premier 8 – Glyconutrients have been given title of “the new class of missing nutrients” or “miracle sugars”. Scores of studies have linked a deficiency of extraordinary sugars to everything from lupus and diabetes to heart disease to cancer; from ADHD to infertility. Dozens of illnesses have been linked to an imbalance of these sugars. This is NOT same as table sugar. Order book Miracle Sugars by Rita Elkins for more explanation. Glyconutrients may represent best of preventative medicine and may help with following: viral infection, fungal infection, parasitic disease, bacterial disease, micro-bacterial disease, auto-immune disease. Providing immune system with right glyconutrients helps it recognize infectious organisms more readily. Remember, it is “glycol” or sugar portion of both our immune cells and invading organisms that transfer messages. There is only one company (multi-level) that currently offers a similar product for a much higher price. You can get Premier 8 only through Oasis Advanced Wellness.

7) Zinc Lozenges – According to Dr. Joseph Mercola, when using zinc lozenges it is important to recognize that they need to be sucked on, NOT swallowed, and smaller doses taken more frequently seem to work better. Suck on a quarter lozenge every 30 minutes. If started early, this approach seems to work well for majority of people. One caution: if lozenges make you nauseous they should be stopped immediately as this is a sign of zinc toxicity. Do not use zinc lozenges that contain aspartame.

8) Eucalyptus Essential Oil – Diffuse eucalyptus essential oil into air when sleeping at night. This will help to keep sinuses and nasal passages open. It is also anti-viral and anti-bacterial. During day diffuse lemon essential oil in air, especially to keep other family members from getting sick.

If you take preventative steps now you will be doing yourself and your family a huge favor. Always make sure that you are prepared if flu happens to hit you or a family member. If your immune system is functioning at a good level then your “down time” and side effects should be minimal. Talk with your family about suggestions in this article and then implement as many as possible. You will be glad that you started early!

Minimum health is like living paycheck to paycheck - just getting by, just barely having enough money to pay bills each month. Minimum health is like Darling we have a little extra this month - would you like to go out to eat at McDonalds and get a Big Mac?

Maximum health is sailing away on a cruise ship to Caribbean with one you love while dining in elegance each evening!

Sure above minimum health situations aren't going to kill you (or at least not immediately), but is this way you want to live your life? Do you really want to just scrape by when there is an option? Let's examine statement ...aren't going to kill you or at least not immediately.

Minimum health is simply current absence of real illness or disease. Often people in minimum health are often too tired or sluggish to do things, they are overweight, etc. They don't feel real bad but they sure don't feel terrific. And what about our statement, some would argue that above minimum health scenarios lead to premature and even a slow death!

Actually attitude of minimum health is like too many other attitudes we have. We are always too willing to sell ourselves short. We are too willing to settle for second best even when we don't have to. Too often this attitude can flow over into our jobs and relationships. This over course of a lifetime can cause us much unhappiness and cost us a lot of money.

But real issue here is minimum versus maximum health and what are we doing to strive toward maximum health? For example do you take high quality nutritional supplements or are you depending on fast and processed foods to get all your nutrients? I would encourage you to take high quality vitamin and nutritional supplements with enzymes, antioxidants and dietary fiber along with exercise and weight management on a daily basis to strive toward maximum health.
