How can you prepare and fight the flu especially any version of SARS or other potentially pandemic new viruses?

Can you rely on your innate immune system if you are healthy?

Here’s what some studies show:

People with chronic conditions are more at risk because there is already active inflammation. Chronic inflammatory conditions can be exasperated by obesity, insulin resistance, genetic variants, To be healthy is to be free of these factors.

Chronic Inflammation is man-made; common triggers are hormonal, infectious, digestive, changes in nutritional needs, psychosocial imbalances.

Poor quality food or eaten in excess or fad diets can cause dysbiosis, a disrupted microbiome. Steroids, antibiotics and other meds cause BBB and gut damage by reducing or increasing stomach acid, damage by undigested foods lectins; these larger peptides cause immune reaction IgM, IgG, and IgA reduction. Gut barrier breech induced by inflammatory foods especially from the Standard American Diet and bad oils in food preparation in restaurants, fast foods and home ingredients. Fast foods are fast poisons, artificial super processed stripped of nutrients, contain plastics, dyes, preservatives, glyphosate, pesticides, heavy metals.

sleep is insufficient if less than 8 hours

stress will produce inflammatory cytokines if there is no modulation with intermittent down-time

lack of or inappropriate exercise weakens the body, burdens energy and immune pathways.

trauma and repeat trauma and repetitive use causes scarring and degeneration

toxin intake accumulative effect is the slow death like a frog in hot water

deficiencies of ingredients for cellular repair inhibit recovery phase.

Gut problems are now worldwide in most cities and in most countries: SIBO = Bowel toxemia, LPS cause free radical damage system wide and fat absorbed into portal vein from homogenized dairy products, polyunsaturates. 

Belly fat gets infiltrated with inflammatory cells = inflammatory fat. Insulin resistance and diabetes are a consequence of chronic inflammation. Also accelerated aging. Chronic joint, muscle pain, allergies, Lupus, migraines, rashes, clots, anxiety, cancer progresses or is initiated.

“Inflammaging” accelerates the aging process.

Cholesterol is essential > Steroid, cell membrane, brain composition

Chronic inflammation dysregulation of the liver, oxidized cholesterol at the cell membrane in the vessel walls.

House calls

Address all familial and genetic tendencies with changes in lifestyle, dietary choices and food preparation.

Support body chemistry with nature’s best plant immune systems that have favorable binding affinity to the structure, genetics and metabolic components of viral particles: Essential oils have been traditionally and recently used to support human immune systems and combat the invasive effects of viruses.

There are three main ways that essential oils target viral replication and invasion;

1. Bind to sites during the viral lifecycle

2. Make morphological alterations binding to viral structures via  molecular mimicry and masking viral structures

3. Inhibit access to human cellular machinery via hydrogen bonds, hydrophobic or ionic interactions, they can deliberately inhibit viral protein synthesis

Research has demonstrated 3 essential oils out of 18 studied that are most effective: oils of lemon grass and star anise. These proved most effective due to the synergistic effects of their component functional groups: Citrus limon EO contain limonene (68.5%) and beta-pinene (10.4%) and was composed of aldehydes, such as geranial (0.7%) and neral (0.5%), a functional group having high affinity to the protein enzymes and to ACE2 having high antiviral activity against SARS-CoV-2. Illicumverum (star anise) and Cymbopogon citratus (lemon grass) demonstrated very high viro-toxic effects against the delta variant of SARS. Neto 2022; Wilkin 2020.

Patient Advice

A healthy lifestyle is a way of being: how you live, kind of work, fun, sleep, water, who you are with, eating habits.

Start a program of strength training to increase energy production and ready stores of glucose for energy production for all metabolic pathways and anti-inflammatory hormones, leptin.
