Good News About Coronavirus

Let’s face it, we have never experienced anything like the present crisis in our lifetime. The level of fear and anxiety is unprecedented and understandable. However, I’m sure that we will all agree that this fear and anxiety is counterproductive. 

We can choose to be in reactive or to be in pro-active mode when it comes to our health. Instead of helplessly waiting for symptoms to develop, we can take a pro-active approach by strengthening our immune system and improving our health. 

Over many years we have developed effective strategies to combat common ailments and prevent disease. These recommendations in no way contradict our health advisory instructions regarding hygiene, social distancing, self-isolation, etc. 

So, what can you do? Let’s start with the basics:

Limit or avoid consuming alcohol and any foods containing sugar. These have been shown in numerous studies to deplete immune protection. 

Especially avoid smoking and vaping.

Eat clean food free of preservatives and additives. Eat 7-9 servings of fruit and vegetables per day.

Drink clean water, not from plastic bottles.

Keep physically active, exercise. Don’t become a couch potato.

Get good 7 hours of sleep

Keep in mind that we have very little effect on what happens around us. The only thing we can control is how we react to it. Do whatever helps you with stress reduction, be it yoga, meditation, listening to music or going for a long walk. Keep the level of stress as low as possible, this alone will allow your immune system to work optimally. 

Here is a list of supplements that you can use daily to boost your immune response.

Vitamin C 3000 - 5000 mg daily in divided doses.

Vitamin D3 5000 IU with extra vitamin K2 per day

Magnesium 400 ml daily

Zinc 20 mg daily

Selenium 100 mcg daily

Several herbal and other preparations that are known to help to boost immunity:

Hydrastis Canadensis

Echinacea

Astragalus

Eulutherococcus Senticocus (Siberian Ginseng)

Quercetin

Colloidal Silver

I would also suggest using Lugol’s Solution 5% (iodine and potassium iodine) that has anti-viral and anti-bacterial properties. Use a few drops in a glass of water and rinse your mouth and gargle with it daily. This is a great antiseptic but it must be used with caution.

Stay informed, stay home, enjoy nature, practice good hygiene, take care of yourself and your family, and look out for your neighbours. Working together, looking out for and protecting each other, we will get through this better and stronger. 

There is nothing like the common enemy that unites people. Well, we got one! 

It is my hope and prayer that with this crisis that we experience right now, we will elevate our level of consciousness to care for each other as one humanity.

Remember we are all in it together and this is the good news about Coronavirus.
