Spring Is Coming: 14 Ways To Prevent Colds & Flu and Stay Healthy During Seasonal Change

West Harrison, NY (PRWEB) March 01, 2014

From time to time we’ll be confronted with early signs of the flu or colds despite our best efforts to live in robust health. But in many cases the onset of full blown symptoms can be prevented by giving the body what it needs to heal itself, and there are many natural, holistic and homeopathic alternatives to do so.

1. Medi-Body Bath and Soak

For immediate detoxification and restoration of your body’s electrolyte balance, you should initiate a foot-bath or hand-soak immediately after feeling the first signs of weakness and achiness using two wonderful products, the Medi-Body Bath and Medi-Body Soak. I would recommend having both products on hand as we enter the winter months. You simply mix 12 cups of hot water with one cup of Medi-Body Bath and one cup of Medi-Body Soak, and you should experience an immediate relief of your symptoms.

We use a simply Zyto scan to zero in on exactly what your body needs—you can come into my office for the Zyto scan or, if you’re located remotely, you can purchase a hand scanner and we can go through the same process over the phone with the Zyto hand scanner software running on your computer.

It’s important to nip things in the bud before sickness has a chance to take root in your body. Remember, untreated or suppressed flu symptoms can lead to pneumonia and suppression is precisely what happens when we take over-the-counter pharmaceuticals to cover up symptoms. You want to flush out the garbage—find a way to release the toxins from your body so you can get well again.

2. Vitamin D

The right amount of this super-nutrient is necessary and boost immunity if you want to prevent or mount a defense against colds and viral challenges to your body. Vitamin D pulls calcium from the intestines, inserting it into the blood stream to support immunity at a genetic level. Vitamin F then transports the calcium to the tissues, which glues the cells together to prevent virus penetration. Three things deplete calcium: stress, sugar and insufficient levels of Vitamin D. Low calcium levels triggers acidic PH levels in your body, which make it vulnerable to sickness.

3. Garlic

Germs melt like wax in the presence of garlic. There is simply no way for germs to live in the presence of the anti-viral, anti-bacterial and anti-fungal properties found in this wonder-herb. Raw garlic has natural phyto-chemicals and natural broad-spectrum antibiotics to support your immune system and should be consumed daily. Store-bought tablets tend to be useless because garlic contains an active ingredient, Allicin, which kills bacteria, viruses and fungus, and must be consumed within an hour of breaking the garlic’s husk. Allicin has been shown to decrease total cholesterol levels while increasing levels of good HDL-cholesterol. If you don’t want to consume raw garlic do to the smell, which is understandable, Allicin caps are also available.

4. Homemade Soups & Broths

Your mother was right—homemade soups like chicken soup are good for you when you feel a cold coming on. Most homemade soups are loaded with Potassium, which calms the nervous system and makes it easier for your body to heal. Fresh horseradish and chopped white onions—both rich in Selenium & Allicidin—can also be added to soups or broths to very good effect.

5. Alkaline Foods (Fruits and Veggies)

A diet rich in alkaline foods such as fruits and vegetables is helpful to combat early onset symptoms of sickness. Fresh vegetable juices with plenty of greens are especially good, binding toxins and escorting them safely out of the body. I like to say: When you’re green inside, you’re clean inside. You’ve heard it said that five servings of fruits and vegetables are essential to your health? You’ve just heard it again.

6. Vitamin C

Taking 100 mg of Vitamin C every hour will bring down a fever. This essential nutrient improves our natural killer cells, which help fight off harmful invaders to the body. Vitamin C also brings down inflammation and functions as a powerful antioxidant, offering protection against infections.

7. Keep an Alkaline PH

Coral legend is a nutritional supplement made up of 100-percent-ionized calcium and magnesium, which can be readily and completely absorbed by your body. Coral Legend helps establish healthy PH levels, improves the immune function and reduces fevers, which quickly consume the body’s supply of calcium. One teaspoon of Apple Cider Vinegar can also be useful to support PH balance.

8. Homeopathic Remedies

Most of us who are aware of homeopathic remedies think of Oscillococcinum®, a homeopathic flu remedy that’s widely marketed and distributed in health food stores. But there is a range of homeopathic flu remedies and choices that target specific symptoms, from fever, coughs, chills and body aches, to nausea, pain, sniffles and sneezing. Again, a simple 15-minute Zyto session can help me ascertain what your body specifically needs. I’ve linked to another article on homeopathic flu solutions below. Remember, although you may be able to purchase low potency amounts at a health store, it’s always best to come in to find out which homeopathic solution is best for you. It’s better to get the exact potency you need from a trained homeopath like myself as certain homeopathic remedies may not be applicable to your particular case—low potencies sold over the counter won’t harm you, but may not help you either.

9. Botanicals

Specific spagyrically-processed herbal tinctures (administered by dropper) such as Core Olive Leaf, Core Cat’s Claw and Core Mycelia can be very helpful to avert sickness. These botanicals utilize the power of the entire plant to bring healing, offering prevention and natural protection against viruses and bacteria—great to have around during the winter months.

10. Nutritional Supplements

Nutritional supplements are a great way to support your body’s immune system. Nucleo-immune, Multi-immune, Coriolus, Allicidin, Xeno-Force and Vitamin C are popular nutritional supplements designed to knock out a flu or cold. Other helpful nutritional supplements include Selenium, which offers antioxidant support against infection, Vitamin B (Max-B), which supports white blood cells and metabolic function, and Zinc, which protects the body against viruses and bacteria while repairing damaged tissue.

11. Homeopathic Composite Remedies

Homeopathic composite remedies such as the Flu Tone, Viru-Chord, Vaccine-Chord and Throat Tone mouth sprays are go-to solution for flu symptoms. But Pneuma-Chord Core Myrrh, Core Sambuccus, Pneuma Ven and Sinus Tone are the preferred means of treating cough, lung-colds and sinus symptoms. It’s best to schedule a 30-minute Zyto session so I can ascertain your body’s specific requirements during flu season.

12. Raw Honey with Propolis

Unheated raw honey with propolis is the favored remedy for sore throats. Mix a tablespoon of honey with the squeezings of an entire organic lemon. Take one teaspoon of the mixture every 10 minutes, drizzle it down your throat to bathe and coat your raw throat. What’s more, the honey will kill the bacteria and the lemon is loaded with Vitamin C, which is great for your body when you’re sick. You may also want to stock up on propolis lozenges and another mouth spray, Throat Spray Tone, which prevents germs from entering your mouth or throat.

13. Gargle with Salt

You can gargle with Celtic sea salt or Hawaiian pink salt, adding several drops of the Core Myrrh to achieve excellent results for your sore throat and cold symptoms.

14. Sleep

It’s very important to get seven to eight hours of sleep—anything less doubles your chances of contracting a bacterial or viral infection when exposed to it. Also, getting at least two hours of sleep before midnight increases your energy levels the next day.

Bellucci Premium Reveals Ways to Bake with Olive Oil Instead of Butter

Bohemia, NY (PRWEB) December 19, 2013

Bellucci Premium, a producer of high-quality extra virgin olive oil, discusses how to substitute butter for olive oil when baking and the benefits of making the switch.

Natalie Sexenian, Bellucci Premium’s Marketing Manager, says, “Baking with olive oil instead of butter is a great way to decrease the intake of cholesterol and saturated fat in your diet, and increase the intake of monounsaturated fat, otherwise known as the ‘good’ fat. Olive oil is packed with antioxidants and has been proven to decrease the likelihood of cardiovascular disease, cancer, Alzheimer’s, diabetes, and obesity.”

She says, “I think some people are a little apprehensive about the idea of baking with olive oil, when actually it has been used for centuries in baking. Some people are concerned with taste. They think if they use olive oil in lieu of butter or any other oil when baking, that their end product will taste off. One way to combat this is to look at the harvest date of your olive oil. Olive oil that has a late harvest date will taste less strong than olive oil that has a more recent harvest date.Light and extra-light olive oil could be used, but then it is defeating the purpose of introducing optimal amounts of healthy fats and nutrients due to light and extra-light olive oil’s processed nature.”

Sexenian says, “Another great benefit of baking with olive oil in place of butter is that your baked goods will last longer! Olive oil is rich in vitamin E, which naturally preserves baked goods by keeping them moist.” She adds, “The amount of olive oil you need to use in a recipe turns out to be less than the amount of butter you need to use. For example, if a recipe calls for one cup of butter, you would only need a three-quarter cup of olive oil.”

Bellucci offers three different types of oil, including an organic option, with a mild peppery flavor and fruity undertones that will satisfy any palate. Bellucci Premium Toscano extra virgin olive oil uses olives that are grown on the beautiful landscapes of Tuscany, and maintained by 3rd and 4th generation farmers. The third type of oil Bellucci produces is the finest 100% Italian extra virgin olive oil, grown in many different regions of Italy.

Alternative Remedies For Bacterial Vaginosis – 3 Effective Ways To Help Bv

If you have BV, you may have already tried conventional treatments such as antibiotics and over the counter creams and lotions. Sadly, most of us find that these are no more than temporary fixes and the very nature of this condition means that it can be difficult to deal with conventionally.

However, alternative remedies for bacterial vaginosis can be used to great effect and a quick internet search will reveal many different options. However, like most things in life, some are better than others and three of the best are

1. Probiotic Yogurt

“Probiotic” is a microbe which protects its host and helps prevent disease. The best known probiotic is Lactobacillus acidophilus, and this is the one found in live yogurt. Soaking a tampon in this yogurt and leaving it in place in the vagina for an hour or two can help to replenish the vagina’s depleted supplies of beneficial bacteria. Although some advice advocates eating the yogurt, this is great for the gut, but there is little evidence to suggest that the protective properties can cross the gut into the vagina

2. Tea Tree Oil

The full benefits of this natural oil are really only becoming known. It can be used for all manner of conditions, including treating scabies and headlice and it has very few side effects when used correctly. Alternative remedies for bacterial vaginosis often recommend using tea tree oil to kill off the harmful bacteria which has grown in the vagina. It can either be used well-diluted in a bath, or can be bought in pessary form specifically for the purpose

3. Cider Vinegar

This very inexpensive culinary ingredient is mildly acidic and has a pH level which mirrors that of a healthy vagina. If you have BV, one of the consequences is that the pH level of your vagina will have shifted from a healthy mildly acidic level to an unhealthy alkaline. Adding a couple of cups to a shallow bath can help restore balance

As with many natural remedies, the key is to use a range of strategies which together can be very powerful. Used in isolation, alternative remedies for bacterial vaginosis can certainly help but the very nature of BV means that a multi-faceted approach is necessary.

There is an excellent, robust strategy which is guaranteed to work and which has helped many thousands of women worldwide be completely free of BV for good. If you would like to see further details of alternative remedies for bacterial vaginosis, please Click Here Now.
