The first premise of modern medicine is to avoid simplicity and cheap health solutions. Boy, have they ever done this. They have succeeded in leading the sick public to feel helpless and hopeless in taking responsibility for their own health. They have successfully destroyed what used to be just common sense. Old home remedies passed down for generations and old country doctors’ simple therapies have all been erased for life-threatening trips to the hospital and thousands of drugs.
We are the victims. It’s our bodies they “practice” on. We are literally a prescription drug culture. Since we have a drug culture created by the pharmaceutical trust, we can be certain that any nondrug therapy will be vigorously opposed by the Food and Drug Administration, the police power behind it, and their media mouthpieces.
Most Americans are brainwashed by the medical establishment. They believe that the only relief available to them comes from a pill.
At the first sign of a medical issue, they turn to allopathic doctors who are mostly just pill pushers for Big Pharma. But there are dozens of herbs and spices that are recognized as having the ability to naturally set our bodies back aright when the natural functions get out of whack.
I personally know of and have used both natural and herbal remedies to stop everything from a sore throat to possible skin cancer. I can’t remember how many years I have been taking black seed oil, (Nigella sativa, or “golden oil”) but I have long understood it has healthful qualities. We know for example that it helps clear viruses out of the system. It can even inhibit the stubborn hepatitis C virus.
There are bad studies by people who don’t like natural remedies and herbs, but they are nonsense. All you need are quality nutrients, natural remedies and herbs from places where a strict code of pharmaceutical good manufacturing practices is applied by law to these products.
Now, here are the other important immune boosters you need to know about:
Progesterone normalizes the immune system and is very effective in autoimmune problems. The remedy for progesterone deficiency is natural progesterone cream. The many great benefits of natural progesterone include anti-aging, increases body supply of oxygen, and improved circulation. Use only natural progesterone cream, about one-quarter teaspoon per day for men and women.
DHEA is a hormone that has been proven to boost your immune system response and effectively fight some viral infections. 5 to 20 mg in the morning, when your body would normally produce it.
Melatonin offers beneficial protection from viruses. The dose for sleep aid is .5 mg, but the antioxidant and protective dose is 5-10 mg a day.
Lactoferrin is an immune booster that inhibits viral attachment to cells.
Propolis can help boost your immune system. According to Japanese research study results published in the online journal BMC Complementary and Alternative Medicine, this resin-like mixture that honey bees get from tree buds and sap flows has healing antioxidant powers that can help protect your heart as well.
The herbs that provide safe relief without harmful chemicals and side effects are:
Stinging nettle: Works as an antihistamine, targeting the immune system’s response to allergens. It helps to reduce allergy symptoms like itchy eyes and sneezing. The dose should be 300 mg to 500 mg per day of stinging nettle in capsule form. You can also drink tea made from the plant’s fresh or freeze-dried leaves.
Thyme: Known as a cooking herb, but it also acts as both an antimicrobial and an expectorant; 1 or 2 teaspoons will help soothe sore throats and quell coughs.
Slippery elm root helps coat and protect your inflamed, sensitive throat. It seems that everywhere you turn these days, someone is coughing or sneezing or dealing with some type of an upper respiratory infection. You can find slippery elm root lozenges at many health food stores. This herb is also available in powder form, which you can use to make tea. Just mix one teaspoon of the powdered root mixed with one cup of hot water and sip away.
