Detox Cleansing
Cleansing is necessary to keep our bodies functioning at their best. Pollution from the environment, oxidative stress, and additives (pesticides, chemical colors and flavorings) in our water and food are stored in organs and fatty tissue and build up in our bodies over time. Cleansing this toxic load can help to boost the immune system, improve vitality, get rid of headaches, allergies, fatigue, pain, arthritis and other symptoms, and can result in substantial weight loss. One of the most powerful dietary cleanses is the Lemon Cleanse or Master Cleanse.
Also the Internal Salt Bath for the entire digestive tract.

Staying Healthy This Winter
by Laura Lechner

With winter around the corner, we are again looking at cold and flu season coming near.
For those with good immune systems, this is not much of a concern, except the need to keep our defenses in place. The following are suggestions to consider to avoid illnesses
of all types:

(1) We have natural immunity to “bugs” that exist in our own home, built over time.
We have the advantage of spending more time in that “safe space” of home and have
less exposure to those who are ill than public school children and teachers. Avoid being
near those you know are ill and remain home if ill yourself.

(2) Washing hands frequently when out in public (church, shopping, etc) can help reduce exposure to illness.

(3) Eating a healthy diet with lots of fresh fruit and veggies, sprouted seeds and
whole grains (sprouted grains best), avoiding allergens or foods you are sensitive to,
and getting all the needed vitamins, minerals, protein, other nutrients, and plenty of water and 100% fruit juices can assist your body in protecting your health. Limit mucous-forming foods such as white flour, dairy, etc.

(4) Avoid refined sugars like the plague they are! They will cause excess mucous while putting most of your white blood cells (infection fighters) to sleep, creating an ideal environment for disease. Honey and other natural sweeteners are fine.

(5) Taking an effective multivitamin/mineral supplement, extra vitamin C (rosehip tincture, EmergenC, or other good sources), cod liver oil, wheatgrass juice or green drink supplement can give the body the boost it may need.

(6) There are herbal formulas which boost the immune system such as ImmuneEase with echinacea, garlic, and cayenne, or the children’s formula that has no cayenne. Dr. Christopher’s AntiPlague or VirusEase, and others.

(7) Always consult with a doctor when needed. Many times natural remedies can be effective if a person becomes ill. See the list of TOP Herbs and Herbal Formulas we use for some that may help. Regular exercise, sufficient sleep, and dealing well with or reducing stress are necessary for good health and immunity.

(8) Have a flu shot if, after studying their ingredients and effects, and prayer, you feel good about getting it or are prompted to do so. Dr. J. Anthony Morris (former Chief Vaccine Control Officer at the FDA) stated, “There is no evidence that any influenza vaccine thus far developed is effective in preventing or mitigating any attack of influenza. The producers of these vaccines know that they are worthless, but they go on selling them anyway.” Flu shots are based on last year’s flu and influenza viruses are constantly mutating. Throughout history no flu virus epidemic has ever repeated itself. Ingredients in flu shots are ethylene glycol (yes, same ingredient in antifreeze), carbolic acid, formaldehyde, aluminum, and mercury (now definitely linked to autism and other brain and nerve diseases.) Don’t take my word for it alone but do research yourself, please, and then do what you feel is best for you and your family.

(9) Finally, be happy and replace fear with faith and trust in God. Fear short-circuits our immune system, making us less likely to avoid illness if we are exposed to it. Gratitude for our many blessings brings peace and fortifies us physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually for whatever we may need to face. Laughter and joy boost our defenses. Keep smiling, prepare, pray, have faith, and use wisdom in following those we trust to give us good information and guidance, and we and our families will be fine whatever comes our way with the blessings of our Heavenly Father.
