Are You Prepared for Cold and Flu Season?

Are You Prepared for Cold and Flu Season?

Its almost time for the cold and flu season.  Each year my patients ask me what I do to prevent and if necessary treat seasonal sickness.

First, I do not get a flu shot.  Flu vaccines are not only notoriously ineffective but also contain toxic ingredients including mercury.  Also, there is a disturbing lack of evidence that flu vaccines are safe. (http://www.greenmedinfo.com/blog/shocking-lack-evidence-supporting-flu-vaccines)

Also see Flu Shot Facts.

Flu vaccines commonly contain mercury preservatives which can cause neurological problems and autoimmune reactions.  (https://www.cdc.gov/flu/protect/vaccine/thimerosal.htm)

Preserving natural immune function is my primary goal for prevention.  I do this by getting adequate sleep every night, avoiding physiological stress by eating frequently and avoiding foods that can reduce immune function such as sugar and alcohol.  Vitamin D is a key factor for proper immune function.  Knowing your Vitamin D status can help you know if you need supplementation.  Starting in October each year I take a half teaspoon of Lauricidin each day.  Lauricidin is a natural extract of coconut oil that deactivates viruses, some bacteria and many yeasts.

If I feel as though I am getting sick, I will take three, and up to nine, doses of Lauricidin per day.  I also use a colloidal silver spray several times a day.  I spray my sinuses, my ears and my throat.  More often than not, if I start treating before symptoms are severe, I can feel well the next day.
