The Flu And Cold Season May Be For REAL For Some Individuals

Dear Friends


A Great Testimonial

Beat The Flu, Cough & Cold
Debra Raybern, N.D., M.H., C.N.C. updated 2006

It is time once again to get our bodies and homes in shape for the coming cold and flu season. Revving up our immune system and keeping our homes "germ" free is the order of the day.Our family follows these simple, yet extremely effective steps to strengthen the immune system and protect ourselves not just from the flu, but coughs, sore throats and the common cold.

FOOD - Cold weather puts an added stain on the body by depleting necessary nutrients. To give yourself an added boost, make the foundation of every meal a healthy choice. Now, yes, I know that almost all of us will make some exceptions to healthy eating, especially during the holidays - cookies, pies, and an assortment of holiday treats, but since sugar will slow down the bodies overall metabolism and immune system response, you should keep the sweets to a minimum and the healthy fresh fruits and vegetables high. A large fresh salad makes a great addition to any meal. Winter fruits like apples, citrus and pears are in season and make great snacks and are naturally sweet.A favorite all natural sweetener at our house is the Blue Agave Nectar from Young Living (all agave's are not created equal). This golden liquid from the cactus is just as sweet as sugar in taste, but with a glycemic index of 11 - beats even honey and maple syrup as a healthy alternative to sugar.Add a clove or two of raw garlic to your salad for added protection against germs. Garlic is a well-known anti-viral and anti-bacterial herb. Are you into skipping meals? Well you shouldn't. When you need a meal on the go, try a green drink that you can make yourself with a juicer and fresh vegetables or add 1 heaping tablespoon of a nutritional green drink like Juva Power to your favorite juice. For capsule green foods take Vita Green. We even carry a NingXia Red sample packs in our purse for a quick pick-me-up on the go. And now there is Balance Complete - a great tasting power mix with 11 grams of fiber per serving and packed with essential goodness.

ELIMINATION - To help your body defend itself, it is important to be able to get rid of accumulated waste and toxins. This is done primarily through the intestinal tract. The colon often becomes over burdened during the cooler months as we gravitate to the warming soups and stews that are void of digestive enzymes and good fiber. Make it a habit to consume plenty of raw high fiber foods daily, even with your hot meals. For maintaining good bowel movements, add a capsule of Comfortone formula to heal and restore proper bowel movement - not a habit forming laxative, but rather all natural herbs, enzymes and oils that clean and heal the intestinal tract. A little DiGize on the belly does wonders for diarrhea and constipation. Balance Complete's high fiber content helps you "go" with ease - I have pregnant mom's drinking a Balance Complete shake to keep them from being constipated.

WATER - Not much does a body better than fresh pure water. If you are still drinking tap water - STOP. Tests from municipal water supplies around the country show toxins such as fecal matter, bacteria, prescription drug residue, chemicals and much more are increasing at an alarming rate. At least get a sink or pitcher style filter for your drinking, cooking and teeth brushing water. Recent research has revealed that brushing your teeth with an unsanitary toothbrush lengthens the time a person stays sick. Studies also show a link between tooth and gum health and heart disease. All the more reason to use a toothpaste with added essential oils, - Dentarome Plus or Ultra, or drop a bit of Thieves oil directly onto your tooth brush for an exhilarating experience. Plus be sure to add Young Living essential oils to your water - either by the drop or with one of their H2oil Packets in assorted flavors.

AIR & ENVIRONMENT - Our houses stay closed much of the cold season with the heat or fireplace warming the home. Keeping things so tightly closed, keeps the old stale air in for breathing and re-breathing. If someone is even a little under the weather, the air they exhale will be full of germs, now out there for everyone else to breath. An essential oil diffuser with oils such as lemon, eucalyptus, lime, orange, grapefruit, or blends like Purification, Citrus Fresh, Christmas Spirit, RC and Thieves, will help to kill airborne germs and keep the house smelling fresh.*** We now have proof you can share- The brochure 12 Essential Oils that WIPE OUT Disease-Causing Bacteria, Molds and Viruses is available from ESP in packs of ten for $ 12.95. What a wonderful way to share, loaded with scientific documentation and a chart which identifies the most powerful of the oils. Call 1-800-336-6308 and order today......

Be sure to take advantage of the not so cold days when the doors and windows can be opened and swap the old air for some fresh air. How about the countertops in the kitchen and bathroom - a virtual breeding and spreading ground for germs! Not with Thieves Household cleaner, wipes and spray. Carry the wipes or spray with you in your purse for door knobs, handles, grocery cart handles, toilet sets and any surface hundreds of others may touch with who knows what. Don't leave home without your Thieves Spray!

EXERCISE - Get moving, just 20 to 30 minutes per day for at least three days per week will get the blood moving, which helps carry away toxins and brings proper nutrients to the cells. It also keeps the lymphatic vessels moving out waste. Where there is good blood flow there will be no stagnation. A stagnant pond breeds bacteria, algae and starves the water of oxygen with an ultimate end of death. Don't let your blood become a stagnant swamp. A brisk walk in the afternoon sun, work in the garden or yard - pulling, planting, chopping, or if you prefer to stay indoors, put in an exercise video and get moving!

SUPPLIMENTATION - Target your supplementation program to kill the germs and support your immune system. Our family takes the following approach to staying well.

1. We take a broad spectrum all natural multiple vitamin mineral supplement with added enzymes and essential oils for greater absorption -Master Hers/His. We also take Vita-Green an essential oil packed green food supplement - high protein, high energy chlorophyll formula to invigorate the cell. Sticky cells can't receive nutrition or dump toxins. We start our day with a Balance Complete shake. We also take Omega Blue - the world's best omega 3 supplement and Longevity capsules.

2. We drink the world's best antioxidant, NingXia Red to crush free radicals in their tracts, and to boost the immune system. My office is getting several testimonies daily about the incredible results people are getting with this product. Tests by Brunswick Labs confirm there is NO other juice or supplement on the market today that is better!!! We have committed to drinking 4-6 ounces of NingXia Red per day for 6 months, then we figure we can "top off the tank" with an ounce or two daily. What a difference the next 6 months will bring.

3. We daily take a variety of essential oils internally*. Thieves, Oregano, Mt. Savory, Lemon and Frankincense are routinely part of our regimen, with others added depending on the need. For viral conditions use - Melissa, and Ravensara. *Only use Young Living Essential Oils internally, no other brand!

4. We boost our immune system specifically from Thanksgiving to Valentines day with a little extra help. Here are some choices:ImmuneTune - a super antioxidant complex is especially helpful at the first sign of illness. Curcuminoids, essential oils, herbals, nutritionals, all designed to stop the spread of illness within the body.Exodus - supercharged with essential oils, this botanical and nutritional blend provides important immune system support.ImmuPro - chewable, power-packed immune stimulant with wolfberry, medicinal mushrooms, essential oils.

5. We make sure we have Ledum for swollen glands and RC for chest complaints.For added protection against illness, apply a few drops of essential oil to the bottom of the feet - ImmuPower, Oregano, Thieves, Peace & Calming, are good choices.While you do not need to take everything listed above, if you will equip yourself now with some of these powerful illness fighters and start taking the immune system boosters now - then if the flu, the cough, cold or sore throat comes into your house - you can kick him out fast!!!!!SO - the choice is yours - optimal health and wellness with a little prevention or sickness and fatigue just taking a chance. Make good health a priority as this year comes to an end, and on into the new year. As the old saying goes - An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

Have a great day!
