Prepared for the Flu?

Prepared for the FLU?

During Sunday School this week, my wife leaned over and commented on how many people were coughing.  In a room of perhaps 50 people there had to be a least a dozen coughers or those trying to suppress a cough.  We were asked to remember those of our friends who were sick at home. 
Illness effects not only the very young, very old and immune-suppressed but those who are healthy and vibrant.  We have all been taught that most of these contagious illnesses are virus and taking a prescribed antibiotic will not help.  

The CDC (Center for Disease Control) has on multiple occasions sent out warnings that it is not a matter of IF, but WHEN there will be a major pandemic outbreak of some contagious disease.  Current eyes are focused on the H1N1 virus. While I do not recommend the Flu Shot, there is much that can be done using natural remedies and preparations.

Look, there is some scary stuff out there and both the academic and the religious worlds are predicting a massive pandemic with casualties in the millions.  The influenza pandemic of 1918-1919 killed somewhere between 20 and 40 million people.  We know for a certainty that traditional medical care may not be successful in treating these types of illness.  And even if it were, it is not likely there will be enough medicine to go around.  We also know that natural or alternative treatments, likewise, will not all be successful.  Some protocols work great for someone, but not for others.

There are 3 factors that will influence whether or not we get sick and how sick we get.

1)    The integrity of the Immune System.  If our resistance and immunity is strong, we can remain healthy and fight off exposure to diseases effectively.  Diet plays an important role.  Understand that eating sugar and sweets will depress your immune system.

2)    The amount of exposure to the pathogen or disease.  There is a big difference between walking in a room where someone may have coughed and sneezed three hours ago and having that person sneeze repeatedly right in your face. We should each do what we can to minimize exposure.  Have N95 masks on hand – just in case.

3)    The virulence of the pathogen or disease.  This means how nasty the virus is.  Some viruses are fairly benign and are easily combated.  Other are potentially very harmful and resistant.  Sometimes a very minimal exposure to something quite deadly is no big deal if your immune system is healthy.  One the other hand, a large exposure to a deadly virus can overwhelm even the most robust immune system.

I encourage each of us to have multiple natural remedies on hand.  People ask me all the time if ___________ (fill in the blank) will definitely work for the ‘coming plague”.  The answer, of course, is “I don’t know”.  So here is MY plan: I will have stockpiled (enough for my family – you need to get your own) a variety of remedies and will trust on spiritual guidance to direct me when and how much of whatever I may feel inspired to use.  I recommend each of you to do likewise.

Here are a few natural remedies that cost little and would be wise to have on hand – just in case.

Oil of Oregano
Noted remote viewing expert, Ed Dames said the following recipe will save your lives.
1 gallon distilled water
20 drops oil of oregano
shake it really well
drink it a few times a day until symptoms are gone. This will kill harmful pathogens in your respiratory tract 
Making your own Oil of Oregano is easy.  Please do not confuse oil of oregano with Oregano Essential Oil.  Straight essential is too potent and will damage (burn) the membranes in your mouth and digestive tract.

Ingredients

• Olive Oil - Organic Extra Virgin – ½ to ¾ cups
• Fresh Oregano leaves - About ½ cup packed tightly
• Sanitized pint size canning Jar with lid
• Optional – 20 drops of oregano essential oil

Instructions

1. Boil some water in sauce pan. Once boiling turn off the heat.
2. Finely chop the fresh oregano leaf or quickly pulse blend oregano with the oil
3. Then placed the oil and blended or chopped oregano leaves in a pint sized jar.
4. Place the jar into the hot water and let it sit for about 5-10 min. This allows the oil to heat up and helps give the oregano a kickstart of the releasing of its oils.
5. Add a little oregano essential oil for a little stronger formula.
6. Keep the jar on your kitchen counter and shake the jar every day.
7. Strain the oil from the leaves after about 2 week.  You can keep the leaves in it longer if you like. If your olive oil was fresh, it should keep for about 3 years.
8. Store the oil in a dark, cool place. Olive oil solidifies when refrigerated.  A cool cupboard is fine.

Oil of Oregano is a potent antiseptic and is highly effective for killing a wide range of fungi, yeast and bacteria, as well as parasites and viruses. It has a wide variety of uses: digestion, colds, warts and boils, gum diseases; as an anti-fungal, Oil of Oregano may be beneficial in such diseases as psoriasis, eczema and seborrhea, as well as many chronic ear, sinus and lung problems that are caused by fungus. Oil of Oregano's active ingredient, carvacrol, was found to completely kill candida yeast. Viruses, such as those that cause shingles, cold sores and genital herpes, are also killed by Oil of Oregano. Mexican research showed that Oil of Oregano killed Giardia, a parasite that is difficult to kill. The oil is also an immune system stimulant. Polish researchers did a comparative study of some 40 herbs. Only one, wild oregano, dramatically stimulated the immune system, which was measured by increased cellular levels of interferon. An unusual use, and one that is important during disasters or camping, is that Oil of Oregano is good for sterilizing water.

Use: apply sublingually, topically, or in juice or water. May also be added to foods for a spicy and healthy effect. For topical use apply directly to the affected area once or twice a day; use more often if necessary. If rash or irritation occurs, discontinue use.

For internal use add a few drops of Oil of Oregano to water, juice or milk

Colloidal Silver

Silver has been used since ancient Greek and Roman times as an antimicrobial, for preserving foods and liquids and medicinally. Then, in the early Twentieth Century, allopathic medicine monopolized all medical practice, favoring only synthetic pharmaceuticals.

As the medical monopoly's antibiotic wave began to lose favor among some, silver products in the form of liquid particle suspensions (colloidal) and ionic homemade solutions began re-emerging.

During the 1980s, lab testing at Syracuse University and the UCLA School of Medicine demonstrated how colloidal silver was highly effective against bacteria, viruses, and fungal organisms, even those that had become resistant to antibiotics. [1]

Make sure your colloidal silver is at least 10 ppm – 5 ml or 1 tsp – 3 times daily.

You can also use the colloidal or sometimes called ionic silver is a nebulizer and inhale it (24-48 inhalations) or as a nasal spray (6 – 8 sprays) three times daily

Anti-Plague Formula

The best insurance in the world against the “predicted coming plagues,” and “killing diseases ,” is to have the body in a good healthy condition. Disease germs are merely scavengers, and can only live on toxins, mucous and residues from junk foods. They cannot and will not damage healthy cell structure. Therein lies the key!!! Have a healthy, clean body and disease germs will bypass you, wanting nothing to do with your body because it would be “obnoxiously clean” (in their language) with no filth for them to live on. If the plague or some other epidemic hits before you are in a good healthy condition, it is good to have an aid for a fast cleaning!

This formula has now spread in many areas from coast to coast and is being used with good results. One man told Dr. Christopher that he never traveled without taking a bottle of anti-plague along because, he said, “It works good on about any sickness that comes up while we are traveling. We also are never without a bottle of it at home.”

Immune Syrup – Echinacea Formula

Echinacea is an herbal supplement used to boost immune function. It’s useful for colds and upper respiratory infections, and it has been used as immune support by those undergoing cancer treatments. Here are some of the benefits of using echinacea.

1) Echinacea Can Help Prevent Sickness

Echinacea strengthens your immune system by stimulating the production of T-cells. It also increases the ability of your white cells to fend off pathogenic invaders.
A compound known as echinacein, found in echinacea, helps keep germs from penetrating healthy cells, so that viruses and bacteria don’t take hold in your body.

2) Echinacea Can Shorten the Symptoms of Illness

Even if you begin taking echinacea after you’re already sick, it can help to reduce your recovery time.

3) Echinacea May Be Used as a Topical Disinfectant

Echinacea helps protect your healthy cells from invasion by bacteria and viruses, even if you apply the herb topically. This means you can use it to keep cuts and scratches from getting infected. Not only will it keep the wound from getting infected, but it will speed the healing process. When used externally as a topical disinfectant, echinacea also has analgesic properties.

4) Echinacea is a Powerful Treatment

Echinacea is known to be particularly effective in speeding the recovery process of a number of common illnesses. Some illnesses against which echinacea supplements may be particularly effective include:

• Urinary tract infection
• Sore throat pain
• Enlarged lymph glands
• Upper respiratory infection
• Enlarged prostate
• Vaginal yeast infections
• Bronchitis
• Hay fever
• Sinusitis
• Ear infections
• Gingivitis
• Canker sores

Consider making your own powerful Echinacea formula in a tincture or syrup.  Our recipe is made from 2 varieties of Echinacea, Cat’s Claw, Pau d’Arco, Eleuthero root (formerly known as Siberian Ginseng) and Cinnamon.  Sign up for our Remedies Workshop.

Hydrogen Peroxide - Internal Use

Over the last one hundred years many thousands of people have reported a number of health benefits from the internal use of Hydrogen Peroxide.
Bio-oxidative therapy (the treatment of the body with extra oxygen) has been used by many medical practitioners to treat a variety of conditions from cancer to gangrene. This extra oxygen is delivered in a number of different ways including adding ozone (O3) to the blood, the use of hyper-barric oxygen chambers (breathing oxygen (O2) under pressure) and through either the intravenous or oral use of hydrogen peroxide.

We have learnt that many people purchase food grade hydrogen peroxide to take orally, so thought it best to provide as much information as possible about the oral use of hydrogen peroxide. Although we do not recommend any particular method (because we’re not allowed to!!) we have set out below a number of ‘protocols’ that have been used safely by people wishing to try and rid themselves of various ailments.

Normally we would include the caveat here that you should consult your doctor before attempting any course of treatment. However, asking a doctor what he thinks about taking hydrogen peroxide will normally illicit the usual ignorant response as no doubt, he/she knows very little if anything on the subject. So we repeat here our disclaimer, that we are all responsible for our own health, and as responsible retailers of hydrogen peroxide we shall do our utmost to provide you with as much information as we can so that you can make educated decisions about how you use our products.

Hydrogen peroxide occurs naturally in many of the bodily processes (in particular our immune systems) and in unpolluted regions of our planet hydrogen peroxide falls with the rain. If it was dangerous to have hydrogen peroxide in our bodies we would have died out as a species long ago.

As with so many things the toxicity is in the dose.

No one would consider it dangerous to take one aspirin, in fact it can save the life of someone who is having a heart attack.

Would it be considered dangerous to take 700 aspirins? Of course it would, it would kill you!!

35% hydrogen peroxide is 700 times more concentrated than the amount that is considered safe.

Always dilute your 35% food grade hydrogen peroxide in distilled water. Tap or mineral water contains dissolved minerals that will react with the extra oxygen, wasting it.

Never take hydrogen peroxide with food in your stomach. For most people this means an hour and a half either side of food. However if you feel a little nauseous after taking the H2O2 it could be because you haven't left it long enough. Vitamin C, iron and fats in the stomach change hydrogen peroxide into super-oxide free radicals. This can severely damage the lining of your stomach. The same is true of iron, copper, silver or manganese so if you are supplementing these minerals. DO NOT TAKE HYDROGEN PEROXIDE INTERNALLY WITH ANYTHING IN YOUR STOMACH.

Hydrogen Peroxide is also thought to boost the immune system, so if you have recently had an organ transplant do not take hydrogen peroxide as it may cause your body to reject the transplant.

The protocol outlined below is suggested by Dr David G. Williams , and is based on many years of experience and reports from thousands of users.

Start the program using 5 ounces (150ml) of distilled water. As you increase the amount of drops increase the amount of water.

Day Number	Number Of Drops of 35% in a glass of water	Total Number Of Drops Per Day (must be spread over 3 times of the day)
1	3 drops, 3 times per day	9
2	4 drops, 3 times per day	12
3	5 drops, 3 times per day	15
4	6 drops, 3 times per day	18
5	7 drops, 3 times per day	21
6	8 drops, 3 times per day	24
7	9 drops, 3 times per day	27
8	10 drops, 3 times per day	30
9	12 drops, 3 times per day	36
10	14 drops, 3 times per day	42
11	16 drops, 3 times per day	48
12	18 drops, 3 times per day	54
13	20 drops, 3 times per day	60
14	22 drops, 3 times per day	66
15	24 drops, 3 times per day	72
16	25 drops, 3 times per day	75

After you have completed the above 16 day protocol, you must then progress onto the maintenance protocol.
The frequency of Hydrogen Peroxide dosage should be reduced as follows;

Dosage	Frequency
25 drops	once every other day for 1 week
25 drops	once every 3rd day for 2 weeks
25 drops	once every fourth day for 3 weeks

If, after increasing the dose, you feel nauseous drop back the dose to a level that you are comfortable with.

Dr Williams recommends that for more serious complaints you should stay at 25 drops, 3 times per day for 1-3 weeks. Next graduate down to 25 drops, 2 times per day until the problem is taken care of. This may take 1-6 months, so don’t give up!!

Once free of complaints you may taper off by taking:

25 drops once every other day, 4 times.

25 drops once every third day for 2 weeks.

25 drops once every fourth day for 3 weeks.

Dr Williams believes that a good maintenance dose would be 5-15 drops per week, depending on how you feel.

Those with chronic systemic Candidiasis may need to start with 1 drop 3 times a day, then 2 drops 3 times a day before starting the above schedule.

Taking vitamin E (either through foods or supplements) will help your body make better use of the extra available oxygen.

It is also highly recommended that you take an acidophilus pro-biotic to help re-establish the beneficial bacteria in the lower bowel and also help in the internal production of hydrogen peroxide.

One doctor who has considerable experience in working with bio-oxidative therapies is William Campbell Douglass MD. In his book Medical Miracle, Douglass suggests that anyone who wishes to take hydrogen peroxide internally should never exceed the recommended dose of 10 drops of undiluted 3% hydrogen peroxide three times per day. I recommend this book to anyone who is considering using hydrogen peroxide and who wants to learn more about the amazing work being undertaken with bio-oxidative therapy.

Finally, another great source of information about Hydrogen Peroxide is the book 'The Truth about Food Grade Hydrogen Peroxide' by James Paul Roguski.
In it he recommends that 4 tablespoons (60ml) of 3% food grade hydrogen peroxide be added to every gallon of distilled water that you drink.
