Re: Dr. Mercola's 11 positive steps to avoid the flu

Post by Barbara »

Those sugggestions sound very sensible [ I was sneezing as i wrote that, showing the need for such tips ! ].

I like the one about staying out of hospitals !
When one is vulnerable, ANY infection, including the dread MRSA, can invade.
Despite occasional much-trumpeted reports in the media that MRSA has been reduced in hospitals.... I DOUBT IT !

I would add some precautions that I take before going to ANY public place. Could be a library or office or
especially anyplace where a lot of people are milling around.
Remember these do not have ventilation, especially at this time of year.
So viruses recirculate.

I always put tea tree oil on a Q-tip [the original brand, not cheaper imitations which are flimsy] and swab the
back of the inside of the nose, for this is where one breathes in any infectants.
Then also gargling with Oil of Oregano is REALLY important, both before and after going out to such a place.
If one forgets before going, do this when you return. Most especially before going to sleep, for that is time
the virus or bacteria will multiply.

It's WELL WORTH the extra 5 minutes to do ! Getting sick is SO debilitating !

Re: Positive steps to stay healthy: PRAY!

Dr. Mercola did not mention the one thing necessary: pray!

Without recourse to the Holy Theotokos, we are lost!

I wash my hands and then follow with a hydrogen peroxide rinse to kill anything that might lurk on my skin.

Strong and healthy. Haven't had the flu in ages.

Avoid Sugar

Post by Maria »

Here is another research article about the dilatory and dangerous effects of sugar on the immune system. Not only does sugar weaken our immune system so that we can get a bad case of the flu, but also it contributes to cardiac disease and cancer.

Excessive Sugar and Lack of Preventive Measures Threaten World with Disastrous Levels of Heart Disease and Cancer

Summary:

  • According to latest World Cancer Report, cancer is typically a preventable disease, and more resources must be dedicated to preventive lifestyle changes.
    The report predicts worldwide cancer rates to rise by 57 percent in the next two decades.
    Cancer rates can be addressed by promoting preventive lifestyle strategies such as diet, exercise, quitting smoking, and reducing alcohol consumption.
    Research shows those who consume 21 percent or more of daily calories in the form of sugar are TWICE as likely to die from heart disease compared to those who get seven percent or less from added sugar.
    The risk was nearly TRIPLED among those who consumed 25 percent of their daily calories from added sugar.

Beware of Tetanus Shots geared especially for women

Post by Maria »

Beware of tetanus shots that are geared for women between the ages of 14 to 49.
Why are women being singled out? See the article below.
If you are at the hospital or doctor's office ask what kind of tetanus shot is being given.
No teen or woman should receive the tetanus injection designed for women only.
