Flu Protection Naturally While Creating a Balanced Immune System

Flu Protection Naturally

There is so much controversy around pandemics, swine flu including the normal varieties of flues that one can easily get overwhelmed by the deluge of information. Of course we are getting arguments both pro and con on flu vaccinations. There is tremendous controversy around vaccinations and for good reason. When it comes to the phrase physician do no harm, we have to ask are vaccinations causing more harm than good? I will leave the whole vaccine drama for another post however here I want to give you immediate and helpful information that you can use right now to protect yourself from any infectious disease including the flu.

When I think of the wasted time, money and resources that our medical system devotes to trying to protect us from a particular disease, it is no wonder our sick care system of medical care is broken. When the cornucopia of natural remedies abounds in nature, we owe it to ourselves to utilize these natural wonders.

I have had a history of autoimmune issues stemming from mercury and other environmental contaminants and as get older I have had to deal with what I call the inflammation factor. Inflammation is common health issue in our modern day society and it at epidemic levels. As we age we also become more prone to inflammation in all its various forms. When our bodies are too acidic, due to toxins, processed foods, and stress our bodies immune systems can become hyper active.

The good news is the same remedies that can support a healthy immune system can also protect you from infectious diseases like the flu. I just read a fabulous article by Dr. Blaylock which you can access through NaturalNews.com. The article title is “Urgent: What to Do If You Cannot Avoid Flu Shots or are Exposed to Virus Shedding” This is excellent article and I want to make a major point here. The natural nutrients I will be covering in Faith’s Tips post are nutrients you want to be consuming as a way of life.

Immune System Regulation is critical in this day and age. We have too many stressors in our environment not to be proactive in supporting a healthy immune system. We often hear talk of strengthening our immune system however our focus needs to be to regulate our immune systems. I know this first hand so I truly speak from experience.

First on my list is supplementing with Vitamin D3. This is huge. We are discovering most of us are sun deprived and this deprivation is leading to all types of health issues. There has been a lot of incorrect information on hazards of sun exposure and suffice to say for this post we need a lot more Vitamin D3 in our diets. The beauty of Vitamin D3 is you can take larger doses of it with no negative side effects. For normal levels an adult requires 5000IU’s per day.

Be sure to get 15 minutes per day of sun exposure without your sunglasses. Don’t shower immediately after your sun exposure.

I just started supplementing with this amazing nutrient and I am already experiencing fabulous results. My inflammation is improving and I’m experiencing much less discomfort. The other major benefit is vitamin D3 supplementation supports healthy bones. I am overjoyed to experience all the side benefits of getting this essential nutrient in my diet.

Be sure to supplement with a good calcium supplement which will also help your the efficiency of your Vitamin D3 supplementation.

Omega 3 oil. I recommend using a Omega 3,6,9 supplement. Omega oils are immune suppressant. Used at the daily recommended levels is perfectly safe and has numerous side benefits for brain and nervous system function. Again, the key here is to add this nutrient into your arsenal to support your immune system.

Take a good vitamin supplement containing selenium and zinc. Selenium is an excellent anti-viral as well as anti-inflammatory. I recommend you use a natural source. Interesting note is that the Japanese on average daily intake of selenium is 500 mcgs and they have a lower cancer rate than the United States. Again, natural sources are always best.

Incorporate drinking White Tea and the whiter the better. For optimal results drink 4 cups of white per day to support a healthy immune system.

Vitamin E, high in gamma-E in its natural form is excellent for cytokine inflammation. Another amazing nutrient is astaxanthin for reducing inflammation. You may be noticing a common theme of these nutrients, to reduce inflammation and immune system regulation. There are numerous and compehensive benefits and related to the nutrient astaxanthin. You can only benefit by supplementing with astaxanthin.

Here’s what so cool about this nutritional regimen. You get to protect yourself from infectious diseases including the Flu while balancing your immune system and creating a higher quality of life. Being proactive gives you the edge and now that you know you can pass this invaluable information to your family and loved ones.

Great Health is Easier than you think

    Nice article, I’ve recently started taking 10,000 iu of vitamin D3 daily and have noticed a difference. For example, being 38 years old I know what will make me sick, in the last week I’ve done 3 things that would have easily made me sick for a week or more. Not only am I not sick but there are other differences.

    Since I was 18 I’ve been getting ulcers in my mouth, sometimes I knew what caused it like salted peanuts or potato chips and sometimes I didn’t. If I bit my tounge or inside of my check they always turned into ulcers. These are the kind of mouth sores that are quite painful especially if salt gets in them. In the last month I’ve had salted peanuts, potato chips, I bit my tounge and my daughter kicked me in the mouth when we were fooling around leaving three internal cuts from my teeth. Not a single one of the instances caused an ulcer in my mouth. Even as I write I find it hard to believe because that has been my life for 20 years.

    In my vitamin D3 research I found that as you age your body produces less of its own vitamin D, I am now supplimenting to create a balance that I haven’t had since I was a teenager.
