Flu Season Starts, When the First Flu Shot is Given!

Don’t get fooled by the “Flu Shot Fantasy”! It’s a total scam.

Flu shots just don’t work. How can they? Having a flu shot is total madness when it is based on last year’s virus! It’s impossible to pinpoint the flu virus months in advance. The influenza virus is constantly changing, adapting, every single day.

So, what can you do?

Begin by consuming more LIFE-GIVING foods. Start today and consume more fruits, vegetables and especially fermented foods. Immunity starts in your gut. Foods containing live bacteria (called Probiotics) and beneficial digestive enzymes give your body the strength to fight all disease.

Steer clear of fast food and processed foods, especially as we approach the flu season. Quick-fix foods do not give you life, instead they take life from you, requiring extra energy to process and excrete from your body.

Remember the old adage, An Apple a Day Keeps the Doctor Away. Making just one positive change daily will boost your energy and provide your body with the power to fight off this season’s cold and flu attacks.

Friendly bacteria vs. unfriendly bacteria.

Where Does the Flu Start?

Whatever you think about how to keep your body healthy, from diet and exercise to supplements, you may be missing the mark if you don’t take care of this one simple piece of the health and well-being puzzle.

Protection from flu and most other viruses does not start in the respiratory system. It starts in the gut! The gut is the center of our immunity universe.

Our bodies were created to miraculously heal themselves. The body’s plethora of systems work closely together to keep you at optimal health. When one system is off balance, it triggers a domino effect, potentially igniting an avalanche of chronic health problems. The primary system responsible for your overall health and well-being is your digestive system – or gut.

The gut depends on good bacteria and specialized immune cells, called T-cells, to do an effective job.

And the most important thing to know is this: The gut is your 30-foot long immunity headquarters! AND, it holds the largest concentration of mood-altering neurotransmitters, like serotonin, in your entire body!

You Can Fight Back!

Super Flu Fighting Foods ImageThere is a reason that the chicken noodle soup that your mother and grandmother made you feel better. I’m sorry to say, it wasn’t because of the the chicken! There are several flu-fighting ingredients that are found in chicken noodle soup: garlic and onion are particularly effective in combating illness and bacteria of all kinds!

You don’t have to make chicken noodle soup to receive the benefits of the top Flu Fighting Foods! When you are feeling under-the-weather, use these foods to help you to fight back!

  • Garlic – this pungent superfood is a powerful flu fighter. Garlic contains compounds called allion and allicin, which have direct anti-viral effects.
  • Onion – like garlic, onions also contain the antimicrobial compounds allion and allicin. Eat raw to get this superfood’s full flu-fighting action.
  • Spices – turmeric, cloves, cinnamon and ginger are packed with antioxidants, which help to improve the function of the immune system. Add these when cooking or to a hot cup of tea.
  • Blueberries – all berries have high concentrations of antioxidants to help fight off flu viruses, but blueberries pack a big punch! When tested against other foods, blueberries were found to have more antioxidants than 40 other fruits and vegetables.


Natural “Anti-biotic” Syrup

Years ago, when I lived near Tampa, Florida, I had the good fortune to meet Rose Kalajean, a master herbalist, animal rights advocate and natural therapies healer. She has a seven acre organic herb farm and is highly skilled in the knowledge and uses of herbal medicine. Visit her website and sign up for her newsletters – they are a wealth of information.

natural antibiotic recipe with lemons, garlic and honeyRose has a natural antibiotic syrup made from lemon, garlic and honey that works wonders. I always recommend it for people with suppressed immune system conditions, as well as for general immunity, lowering cholesterol and blood pressure. Kid’s can take it too, but I recommend for children to mix in hot water and sip. Click here to print a copy of the recipe.

Ingredients:
1 bulb of fresh garlic, peeled
1 cup of organic black honey (any locally-harvested honey can be used – avoid processed honey)
1 fresh lemon, quartered, WITH skin

(Note: You can cut this in half or even one-quarter to make a smaller amount at one time.)

Directions:
Add to blender or food processor and blend until to a smooth, thick paste. Pour into a glass jar with a good lid and store in the refrigerator.

Usage:
For general immunity, add 1/2 teaspoon to a cup of hot tea or hot water and drink. Repeat up to 3 times per day as desired.

For colds, flu, chest congestion or sore throat, gargle with 1 tsp to one-half cup of hot water. Repeat every 2 hours during the day and before bed.

Are you feeding disease or fighting it?

Think about what you ate yesterday.

There is a 100% chance your food choices contributed to either greater wellness or greater risk of disease.

Our bodies were created to miraculously heal themselves and the plethora of systems work together to keep you at optimal health – so when only one system is off balance, it triggers a domino effect, potentially igniting an avalanche of chronic health problems.

The primary system responsible for your overall health is your digestive system – or “gut” – and all the food you eat and drink have a significant effect on your gut.

IMPORTANT FACT:  The gut is your 30-foot long immunity headquarters.

Everyday we are bombarded with contaminants that disrupt the delicate balance in our gut and digestive system, which in turn significantly affects the immune system.

If you’ve ever taken antibiotics, you know these drugs kill ALL living bacteria – good and bad. Over-the-counter anti-inflammatory medications like Advil, aspirin, Motrin, etc. disrupt normal digestion, as do chlorinated water, birth control pills, synthetic hormones, the list goes on and on. All of these, and many more, throw our internal ecosystem out of balance.

Our immune system fights so hard to stay healthy and balanced, that you may not even notice any imbalance for years – but believe me, it will eventually catch up to you.

Balance Your Ecosystem with Probiotics

Does Vladimir Putin Have Irritable Bowel Syndrome?

Vladimir Putin is quite irritable these days.  And probably, for a good cause.

On top of all the stress of invading and conquering, Vladimir, like most Russians, eats a ton of meat and dairy products, proven to be choke-full of antibiotics, which reek havoc on our gut and digestive tract.

Poor Vladimir, right?  WRONG!  Poor all of us.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) admitted during Congressional testimony that the overuse of antibiotics in cows, chickens, pigs and other animals is leading to new strains of antibiotic-resistant “super bugs”.

“(The) USDA believes that it is likely that the use of antibiotics in animal agriculture does lead to some cases of antibacterial resistance among humans and in the animals themselves and it is important that these medically important antibiotics be used judiciously,”

Antibiotics are now in our food supply, on your table for tonight’s meal most likely, or in that hamburger you grabbed for a quick lunch break.

According to a study from the Union for Concerned Scientists, meat producers feed some 25 million pounds of antibiotics to chickens, pigs and cows for non-therapeutic purposes each year.

Stated another way, the amount of antibiotics fed to healthy animals is eight times greater than the amount given to sick people, which is 3 million pounds per year.

Eight Times GREATER!

We need to restore our good bacteria, called “probiotics” that are killed by all of the “antibiotics”.

Read on to hear about our new, improved Pro-Biotic Max formula and learn how to avoid horrific digestive issues – like Irritable Bowel Syndrome – once and forevermore!

70% of all Antibiotics are used on Farms

The massive over prescription of antibiotics on animals is breeding new strains of antibiotic-resistant bacteria that can, and have, spread to humans. One such “super bug” is Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus or “MRSA” that is a growing problem in schools, hospitals, day care centers, locker rooms, public restrooms, and prisons.

In fact, more people die in the U.S. from antibiotic-resistant staph infections like MRSA than from AIDS. And antibiotics continue to decline in effectiveness for treating both human and animal diseases.

Please, take a moment now to watch this short video with Katie Couric of CBS reporting on the problem.

Factory farms pump the antibiotics into healthy animals at such saturation levels that they automatically flow through to us humans. The report, “Hogging It: Estimates of Antimicrobial Abuse in Livestock”, states that the livestock industry feeds 10 million pounds of antibiotics to healthy hogs each year; 11 million pounds to poultry; and 4 million pounds to cattle.

What scientists now fear is that the antibiotic saturation of our meat supply means drugs not approved for use in humans are now turning up on our family dinner table.

"My Stomach Just Became a Billionaire!"

Your Stomach Can be a Billionaire Too!

Any good medical researcher will tell you that nearly 99% of your immune system is in your stomach – or your “gut” – which is your entire digestive system from mouth to anus.

It is in the gut where tiny organisms called “bacteria”, breed to create the climate of all health – for better or worse.

Creating a healthy environment where the immune system can thrive is what we strive for.

That’s where “probiotics” come in.

Probiotics are the opposite of “anti-biotics”.  Probiotics are building blocks for the immune system, used to create good, friendly bacteria so the immune system can function to the highest potential.

Probiotics are what it is all about!  And you need a lot more of them in your body than you might think – in fact, you need BILLIONS! Not just a hundred or thousands or millions – BILLIONS!

The more probiotics you have in your gut, the stronger it can be and the more it can do for you – rather than against you.

We’ve all suffered with at least mild digestive issues at some point in our lives, but many Americans suffer every second of the day with horrific ailments from something called “leaky gut” – I hate just saying the words!

Of course, changing your diet will help you make huge strides toward total gut health.  But what about the damage you’ve already done?  How can that be healed?

Today, we are thrilled to introduce to you the improved Pro-Biotic Max™ formula containing 25 BILLION live organisms per capsule – one capsule a day! – and one bottle contains an entire 2 month supply

You can become a BILLIONAIRE today!

“The road to health is paved with good intestines!”
― Sherry A. Rogers

Do you ever have bad breath?  More often than not?  How about yeast infections?  Constipation?  Diarrhea?  Bloating? Burping?

If you answered yes to any of these symptoms, your gut is probably not thriving.  The answer is simple:

Having a thriving gut is the #1 factor in having a healthy immune system – and the key to a healthy life!


What are Pro-Biotics and Why Should I Take Them?

We are all ecosystems. Our ecosystems are in danger from all the medications, pesticides and environmental pollution ingested, slathered on and inhaled.

The body houses this unique, balanced ecosystem, beginning with the stomach, then the large and small intestine, in charge of distributing nutrients to nourish the organs. Residing in this ecosystem is more than 400 species of bacteria.

Bacterium isn’t always bad!  In fact, the it’s made up of 3 main types of friendly bacteria:

  • Lactobacillus acidophilus
  • Bifido-bacterium bifidum
  • Lactobacillus bulgaricus

Acidophilus works in the small intestine. Bifidus predominates in the large intestine and bulgaricus is a transient bacterium that passes through the entire intestinal tract.

Laugh at the Flu!

Don’t Let the BIG BAD FLU Ruin Your Winter This Year

I have 12 proven ways to laugh at the flu and have the most fabulously FUN winter you’ve ever had. In fact, you’ll be laughing at any and every viral onslaught that comes your way.

I live in Colorado, and as far as Winter Fun, THIS is the state to live in – in fact, Winter is the new Summer!

My absolute FAVORITE thing to do in the winter is take my kids sledding! It’s such a blast and we come home to warm cider and blankets and laughter. Don’t even get me started on ice skating, skiing and building snowmen, and roasting marshmallows in the fire pit!

My LEAST favorite part of the fall and winter is facing the dreaded cold and flu season. Invariably, one of the girls will come home from school having been exposed to some horrific virus. In fact, several years ago, our school system was actually shut down for days because so many students and staff were deathly ill with the Swine Flu!

No matter if you live in a gloriously sunny state where you wear shorts and play golf all winter, or an absolute dreary place where the sun NEVER peaks out from behind the clouds – we want to prepare you for what’s ahead.

Our goal for you this winter is that you have more fun than you’ve ever had and don’t get sick!

Think it’s impossible? It’s not!

Last winter, I followed the advice I’m giving you today, not even to a tee, and didn’t get sick one time! Neither did my girls. We were 100% healthy and happy and had so much FUN doing all the winter activities Colorado is famous for.

And we didn’t get a flu shot either! They don’t work and they seriously affect the immune system – why would I want to do that to myself or my precious children?

So, I took Wayne’s advice and I am going to share it with you now!

Lena's Health Nugget: The Ecosystem Within

What’s the Weather Forecast for your body today?

  • Wild Storms
  • Heatwave
  • Earthquake, maybe?

Or will everything be clear skies, peaceful and total calm?

Your body is a Climate Factory with the same Ecosystem as the world around you.

Do you have continual digestion problems, Acid Reflux, stomach pains, bloating and gas? Throbbing headaches and fevers, for seemingly no reason at all? Recurring colds or sinus infections?

All this, despite the pharmaceutical drugs your doctor has prescribed to relieve the symptoms?

That’s because your “ecosystem” is out of whack.

Take a moment to read Lena’s research and thoughts on all this and how you can to turn your ecosystem into Paradise, naturally, without drugs.

The Ecosystem Within YOU

© By Lena Sanchez

Bet you didn’t know you had a whole ecosystem living within you, did you?

You’ve read about the environmental ecosystem in danger from all the pollutants in this world, but not about the ecosystem within your own body!

You may not know YOU ARE AN ECOSYSTEM and your ecosystem is in as much danger as our world’s ecosystem, from all the medications, pesticides and environmental pollution ingested, slathered on and inhaled.

Your body houses this unique, balanced ecosystem, beginning with the stomach, then miles of large and small intestine in charge of distributing the nutrients to nourish your organs. Residing in this ecosystem is more than 400 species of bacteria.

Bacterium isn’t always bad! In fact, these bacterial colonies function in harmony with one another and if either is out of balance, your system is going to go awry at some point in time.

Keys to a Longer Life – Part II

Even though we think we can eat whatever we want, our body has to deal with every choice we make. Choosing what foods we put into our body can upset a delicate balance between war and peace – between health and disease.

Without sufficient probiotics, the body is vulnerable to obesity, suppressed immune response and even cancer. Intestinal bacterial composition is a huge component when fighting these health problems – even more important than dieting, exercising and genetic makeup.

In her book, The Alchemy of Nourishment, Esther Cohen states that our digestive tract, specifically the intestines, provide home for 70% of our immune system. These bacteria provide immunity we don’t have to work for – they work for us.

Probiotics are the soldiers on the front line of the battle for our health, protecting us and constantly guarding against unhealthy bacteria and pathogens invading our body. We just need to provide them with the right environment to keep them nourished.

When we go out of our way to take extra probiotics, we actively become resilient and improve our ability to adapt to any disease invasion.

Found – The Keys to a Longer Life

Transform your life with ENZYMES!

Researchers estimate that up to 30% of Americans suffer from an affliction known as Leaky Gut Syndrome (just the phrase causes my stomach to turn a little), and as much as 90% of all chronic symptoms and chronic conditions are linked to it.

Leaky Gut almost always goes undiagnosed. Ailments like arthritis, diabetes, asthma, chronic fatigue, inability to lose weight are all related in part with poor or declining gut health.

Could this be happening inside of you without you even knowing about it?

There is simple remedy for Leaky Gut and the myriad of ailments it causes. Read on for the closest thing we’ve found to the discovery of the Fountain of Youth, that could just possibly heal your entire digestive tract!

Enzymes are the Building Blocks of Life

Enzymes are the building blocks of life itself. They help us to see, hear, feel, move, digest, think and heal. Enzymes assist the body in breaking down food, providing the body with life-giving fuel.

Secreted by the pancreas, production of these vital enzymes decline as we age, diminishing the ability of our digestive tract to break down and extract nutrients from the food we eat.

Traditional Chinese Medicine teaches that lack of stomach chi (energy), leads to increased disease, fatigue and aging. Without enzymes, a person’s stomach chi becomes dangerously low.

As you might suspect, processed foods are devoid of life-giving enzymes. This is one of the reasons why I rail against the Standard American Diet of fast-food and sugary sodas! Adding enzymes to your diet every day allows you to nourish your digestive system and avoid chronic conditions associated with leaky gut.

Dr. Edward Howell pioneered the use of plant-based enzymes to prevent disease, teaching science that all disease (including the dreaded Leaky Gut Syndrome) is nothing more than the lack or imbalance of enzymes.

What's for dinner – Antibiotics!

The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) admitted last month during Congressional testimony that the overuse of antibiotics in cows, chickens, pigs and other animals is leading to new strains of antibiotic-resistant “super bugs”.

“(The) USDA believes that it is likely that the use of antibiotics in animal agriculture does lead to some cases of antibacterial resistance among humans and in the animals themselves and it is important that these medically important antibiotics be used judiciously,”

said Dr. John Clifford, USDA Deputy Administrator for Veterinary Services, Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, in written testimony before the House Committee on Energy and Commerce’s Subcommittee on Health Hearing on Antibiotic Use in Animal Agriculture.

We’ve reached the tipping point and antibiotics are now in our food supply, on your table for tonight’s meal most likely, or in that hamburger you grabbed for a quick lunch break.

According to a new study from the Union for Concerned Scientists, meat producers feed some 25 million pounds of antibiotics to chickens, pigs and cows for non-therapeutic purposes each year.
