To keep your immune system at optimal function it is important to remember the basics. 1. Drink Water. Water is the best medicine and the first thing to take if you are experiencing symptoms of head pain and/or upper respiratory infection. It is also effective for every other disease and symptom as well. If you are not thirsty, you may already be dehydrated. 2. Trace Mineral Salt with Water Use a pinch (1/16th teaspoon) with a full glass of water at least 3 times a day for better hydration and electrolyte balance. *NOTE: trace mineral salt, like RealSalt, is not sodium chloride. The medicinal way to use it is to take it with water. 3. Sleep. Sleeping with a window cracked for fresh air helps our immune system maintain balance. If you cannot sleep, take melatonin. Melatonin helps reset the sleep/wake cycle. Research shows melatonin itself, beyond helping us fall asleep, also enhances innate and cellular (production of antibodies) immunity. 4. Reduce fever naturally. Avoid over the counter drugstore fever reducers like ibuprofen, acetaminophen, Theraflu type products, DayQuil, NightQuill and similar products, aspirin. Taking these products for fever can prolong symptoms. It is better to use hydrotherapy and/or the homeopathic ferrum phos to decrease elevated temperatures. Below are specific supplements for daily use for prevention and treatment of illness and the symptoms of colds and flus. They assist your body in managing the constant bacterial, viral and fungal elements we are exposed to, they help the body fight these organisms from causing infectious illnesses. In some cases, multiple options are provided to suit your preferences (liquid vs. capsule). The last products can be taken as needed or regularly for prevention (Allimax, Silversol, Elderberry, Topical castor oil, melatonin.) See attached handouts for Hydrotherapy at Home and Castor Oil Packs.
