I would like to add whether it’s your favourite time of year or not please remember to take care of yourself and manage the stress levels appropriately, eat optimally for your needs and enjoy yourselves without undoing all the good work you’ve done for your health this year.

This newsletter is a bit of a mixed bag, it includes information on winter viral support, Christmas recipes and vaccines. Please take a look at all.

As normal at this time of year we are in viral season, never mind Sars -Covid, therefore this newsletter serves as a general reminder to help maintain wellbeing.

Make good choices daily.

It is important that you make good choices daily to support your wellbeing (please see previous newsletters and your wellbeing file for further information). There are many things you can do, I have listed below some additional suggestion that you can use to support your immune system and self as a whole.

HOCl is an antimicrobial agent that kills viruses, bacteria, fungi, and spores. It promotes health and stimulates epithelial growth for wound healing and skin issues, as well as reduces inflammation.

The current virus is known to spread through the breath, the mucous membranes (including the eyes).

Keep your face protected by using HOCl spray frequently, throughout the day, in the face and mouth, your hands and any other exposed surface areas. It is safe to spray into your eyes

The HOCL spray can also be used on any surfaces.

While at home you can use HOCl to spray down your countertops and tables. (Unlike traditional disinfectants you may be using, it is safe to ingest and won’t expose you to unwanted chemicals.)

The oregano spray is also an antimicrobial agent, however this SHOULD NOT be sprayed into the eyes, however it can be used for all other purposes listed above i.e safe to mist over face with eyes closed and into mouth onto hands and surfaces.

Take 3-10 grams Vitamin C divided doses through the day. Vitamin C has been shown in scientific studies to kill micro-organisms on contact, to boost immune function and to protect against oxidative stress.

Take 15-30mg of zinc per day. Zinc participates as a co-factor in many enzymatic reactions in the body, and it plays a role in maintaining immunity, reproduction, skin health, neurotransmitter function, and epithelial health. Zinc deficiency has been shown to cause mucosal barrier dysfunction and can lead to an increased risk of gastrointestinal infectious diseases. Zinc supplementation improves intestinal barrier function, intestinal permeability, nitrogen absorption, and increases immune responses.

In case of sore throat you may IF NOT ALLERGIC to iodine put 1-2 drops of Lugol’s iodine in a glass of water and gargle morning and evening. You can also try to inhale iodine (either on a salt pipe (look on Amazon) or if not available a couple of drops of Lugol’s on cotton wool) by taking 10 sniffs twice daily.

Vitamin D3 daily at least 2000IU per day. Vitamins D and K are essential for optimal bone and arterial health and for maintaining the immune system in proper balance.

Eat probiotic foods or take a broad spectrum probiotic.

Propolis products are extremely helpful as propolis stimulates anti-viral immunity in the mucous membranes. So nasal and mouth sprays are important at this time. As well as adding 10 drops to your drinking water each day.

Phosphatidylcholine is protective to cellular structures.

Antioxidants are super supportive to your immune system and health as a whole, this is one of the reasons you should be consuming the appropriate levels for your biochemistry (MT type) of fresh fruit and vegetables. There are numerous antioxidant supplements such as resveratrol, quercetin, CoQ10, glutathione, vitamin E, and polyphenols.

Olive leaf has antimicrobial and antiviral properties and supports the immune system in defending against pathogens. The leaves contain an antioxidant comparable to vitamin E, along with flavonoids such as rutin and flavonol that also possess powerful antioxidant properties.

Curcumin increases natural killer (NK) cells, has anti-viral & anti-bacterial properties along with being an anti-oxidant & anti-inflammatory.

ACS 200 silver extra strength provides 200 parts per million of uniquely energized sliver molecules suspended in ultra-pure, deionized water; providing support for healthy immune and inflammatory response

Allicin has anti-viral, antimicrobial and powerful antioxidant properties

We have many other broad spectrum immune products.

If you would like to add in additional supplemental support please contact the office and I will check if it is appropriate and in line with your current protocol and requirements.

A nice recipe for you to try coming into the festive season.
