The best way to reduce your chances of catching the flu or a cold is to have your immune system in tip top shape prior to being exposed to the germs causing these illnesses. A strong immune system doesn’t guarantee against catching an illness if exposed, but it will generally reduce the severity and length of the illness. See the article below.
Our God-designed immune system when working to perfection can overcome any infection whether “natural” or genetically engineered by governments or their for-hire “mad scientists.” Planned influenza and other pandemics have been officially declared by the UN’s World Health Organization. There is little doubt that there will be ongoing worldwide virus caused pandemics in the future! The real issue is: In the government-created “pandemics and epidemics” will there be more injuries and deaths from the government recommended/mandated flu shots than from the actual viruses?
In 1976 the US backed swine-flu vaccine killed 25-52 people and permanently paralyzed hundreds with Ascending Paralysis (Guillain-Barre Syndrome), while there was only one documented death from the swine-flu virus. Now 35 years later, we are being told we need multiple shots this season to stop the flu (Washington Post, Wed., May 6, 2009) despite the fact that medical researchers have repeatedly proved that vaccines don’ t even protect against influenza. (In healthy children The Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews.2-2008; In healthy adults The Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews. 1-2006; In the elderly The Cochrane Database of Systematic Review 3-2006).
Even though there are essentially no benefits, there have been and will continue to be many serious adverse reactions to these vaccines. Looking only at two of the most heinous flu vaccine additives will make the point though there are many other potential ingredients such as egg protein, gelatin, Polysorbate 80, formaldehyde, sucrose, resin, Gentamycin (antibiotic), and Thimersol (Mercury, still in multi-dose vials).
The H1N1 swine-flu vaccine reportedly contained MF59, an oil-based adjuvant primarily composed of squalene, FDA approved only for experimental vaccines but now licensed by a bureaucrat HHS Secretary Sebelius, for all Americans including healthy 6 month old children. This ingredient is the primary suspect as the cause of permanent disability in 250,000 plus veterans in Gulf Wars I and II who developed autoimmune diseases after receiving the Anthrax vaccine(Vaccine A: The Covert Government Experiment That’ s Killing Our Soldiers and Why GI’ s Are Only the First Victims of This Vaccine. Gary Matsumoto. HB (2004).
The other harmful ingredient that reportedly is in flu vaccines [and possibly others in the future] will be a cell-line of aborted human fetal cells (PER C6 grown from retinal cells and sold to vaccine makers). For information on this see the independent web site http://www.cogforlife.org/fetalvaccines.htm to find which vaccines have human cell lines. The only other way we can get human proteins in our blood is by eating human flesh. This is essentially a 21st century form of cannibalism and highly probable to cause even more antibody production against human retinal cells (autoimmune disease).
Now, what can we do to improve the function of the different parts of our immune system to have the greatest chance of defeating the flu viruses?
The liver is the most important detoxification organ/system in the body. Chapters and entire books have been written about this topic in great detail. Lab tests can measure Phase I and Phase II (7 different pathways) detoxification functions and even quantify it. You cannot have an optimal functioning immune system with a sick, toxic or unhealthy liver. Yet the liver has many other essential metabolic functions besides detoxification. It is therefore paramount to flush the liver annually or more often depending on your individual situation. Some well-known natural healers even state that a person cannot get a fatal infection or cancer if they have optimal liver function. I began using the [CureZone] liver flush in 1992 and have done it most years since. It requires simple inexpensive ingredients but must be followed exactly. NO FAT can be eaten on the day of the flush. [Editor Note: There are also some very gentle packaged 14 day liver cleanses that are effective, especially as continuing maintenance cleanses after using the 2 day CureZone therapeutic flush. Use the CureZone 2 day protocol at least twice a year and the 14 day cleanse every 3 months. The 14 day liver flush can safely be condensed into 7 days for those who are relatively healthy. If there is time, a liver cleanse is good practice before using any immune booster protocol.]
If you are simply trying to protect yourself from catching a cold, the flu, or a virus, then utilize the Maintenance servings suggestion. But if you have already contracted the flu or a cold, use this protocol with Therapeutic servings to shorten the duration to days instead of a week or more. The following protocol of supplements are used to strengthen the immune system because of their known ability to boost or balance immune function.
1. Therapeutic Liver Flush– If one has already caught a cold or virus, it generally would not be practical to have to do a Liver Cleanse prior to using the other items in this protocol. But as a rule, it is always good to do periodic Liver Cleanses as that will aid in boosting our bodies immune system even if it is done after the rest of this protocol. This is 2 day therapeutic flush to help cleanse the liver and gall bladder in the event that they are already overloaded with toxins. Any viral or bacterial die off will be filtered through the liver, so it is best to start with a ‘clean’ filter. If you think that the Therapeutic 2 day Liver Flush to too drastic, then you may want to try a 14 Day Liver Cleanse – A gentle liver cleanse that can be used every 6-8 weeks is needed especially when using therapeutic amounts of colloidal silver.
Maintenance: 14 day cleanse
Therapeutic: Use the either the 2 day protocol or shorten the 14 day cleanse to 7 days by doubling the daily servings.
2. Colloidal Silver– Silver has been shown to stop over 600 different types of bacteria and viruses as well. It also stimulates healing of tissue possibly by increasing fibroblast production.. [For more information on colloidal silver, see www.utopiasilver.com Home Page and FAQ Page. Read “A Layman’ s Guide to Using Colloidal Silver“. Also see this article “Pravda Says Colloidal Silver Beats the Swine Flu” about colloidal silver being effective against flu viruses. In this article, the Russian writer stated Utopia Silver was the brand they used.]
Maintenance: 1-4 teaspoons will serve to boost the immune system over a few months.
Therapeutic: ½ oz. per hour for 8 hours, then 1-2 oz. every 4 hours.
3. Probiotics- When using therapeutic servings of Colloidal Silver for extended periods of time, one should supplement with Probiotics an hour or so afterwards to replenish the colon flora/bacteria.
Maintenance- as suggested on the bottle.
Therapeutic: double the servings.
4. Selenium– Good quality/whole food selenium at 600-900 micrograms (mcgs) daily has been shown to have powerful antiviral activity. Dr. Jonathan Wright, MD teaches a class periodically in which he documents this effect to integrative doctors, field workers and missionaries. This action by Selenium is partly based on vastly increasing the body’ s production of the selenium co-factored enzyme glutathione peroxidase. At high doses it was found to be effective even against Hemorrhagic Fevers. Selenium is also essential to the proper absorption of iodine.
Maintenance: as suggested on the bottle.
Therapeutic: double the servings.
5. Vitamin C– This vitamin strengthens the body against infections, especially viruses, colds, and other respiratory infections. It is also a potent antioxidant required for at least 300 metabolic functions in the body.
Maintenance: 2000-4000mg per day
Therapeutic: 1000 mg per hour for 8 hours, then 1000 mg every 4 hours until most of the flu or cold symptoms are gone.
6. Vitamin D– Thankfully, the Vitamin D phobia that has existed for years is now over and even doctors are recommending much higher doses of this powerful immune booster. From a maximum of 400 I.U. to a minimum of 2,000 I.U.daily is now commonly recommended. Some doctors are even prescribing 50,000 I.U. capsules 1 to 2 times weekly (100,000 I.U. weekly) for their patients to help avoid the flu. Getting 30 minutes of sunshine daily without a shirt or with a bathing suit or with shorts and tee shirt, will give you 2,000 I.U. of Vitamin D3 assuming you have enough good cholesterol in your skin from eating enough good omega 3 fats in your diet and not taking “Statin” drugs which may deplete the cholesterol. One other thing you can do besides the above is to take a good quality cod liver oil which has Vitamin D3, Omega 3 fats and Vitamin A, which also helps to fight infections.
Maintenance: as suggested on the bottle.
Therapeutic: double the servings.
7. IP6/Inositol– Inositol hexaphosphate (IP6) is a sweet tasting white powder, a member of the Vitamin B6 family which has been shown in numerous medical studies by Dr. A. M. Shamsuddin, MD to boost the activity of Natural Killer Cells (NKCs), the body’ s first attack squadron for microbes(bacteria, viruses) and Cancer cells by 200-400%. Sometimes this attack alone can knock out an early infection or cancer. It can be routinely shown on medical lab tests that almost everyone with a serious infection or cancer has NKC activity less than 20% of normal.
Maintenance: as suggested on the bottle.
Therapeutic: double the servings.
Warning: If suffering with heart arrhythmias or angina that may be caused by magnesium depletion, any use of IP-6 should be preceded by 1-2 weeks of Membrane Complex supplementation as IP-6 generally accelerates the depletion of calcium and magnesium. After the 1-2 weeks of loading, then continue the Membrane Complex as long as you are using the IP-6.
8. [Editors Note: Systemic Enzymes– These supplements, especially the proteases which “digest” long-chain proteins most importantly fibrin, which is primary make of plugged up small vessels and scar tissue (also called fibrosis or sclerosis). These help indirectly but powerfully by opening up blood vessels to better deliver immune boosting nutrients to sick tissues. See article on enzymes in The Silver Bullet-in e-News Magazine, Digestive Enzymes are Important for Health and Longevity
Digestive enzymes taken in larger servings on an empty stomach will serve several functions: 1.) they break down the cell wall of viruses; 2.) reduces inflammation in the tissue and arteries improving circulation and carry more virus destroying oxygen to the cells; 3.) reduces inflammation in the respiratory system and throughout the body; 4.) acts as a potent chelator to cleanse the blood and reducing the plaque buildup in the arteries. If using as a systemic enzyme rather than as a digestive enzyme, it must be taken at least ½ hour before and/or ½ hour after meals to maximize effectiveness.
Maintenance: 3-5 morning and night on an empty stomach.
Therapeutic: Take 3-5 enzymes tablets are taken each ½ hour for 6 -10 hours. This greatly accelerates the actions listed above, especially when you are either catching or experiencing an illness of almost any kind.
Note: The servings noted above are based only on the use of the Enzymes that we sell on our website. Not knowing the content of other brands of enzymes, we do not suggest using any brands of enzymes for Therapeutic use other than what is on our website.
Warning: Do not take enzymes with any drugs as they will enhance absorption and intensify the effects; take at least 60 minutes apart.
