HOLISTIC HEALING from Cold & Flu is not for the faint of heart. BUT applying these tools is both SAFE & EFFECTIVE and will help preserve your gut microbiome and STRENGTHEN YOUR IMMUNE SYSTEM to fight off future illness!
1. NUTRIENT DENSE FOOD

Make Whole nutrient dense foods the mainstay of your meals and snacks and cut back on ultra processed foods that contain unnatural flavor enhancers, emulsifiers, preservatives, colors etc. This intervention alone can reduce “leaking” of toxins and allergens through the gut lining and improve immune system functioning!
Go through your pantry and fridge and throw out those hyper tasty foods that contain all the ingredients you cannot even read. Start picking up organic berries, fruits, nuts, seeds, and veggies to snack on instead! Change like this can be slow, sometimes painful, but like many things, the hard work and sacrifice ALWAYS pays off.
If you eat out a lot, try to plan and commit to a day of the week you can start doing some cooking at home. Put a meal plan together, prep healthy snacks for the week, and begin to make baby steps to change. Every small change will lead to more and more immune health as you go.
80% of your immune system is in your gut. When your immune system is so aggravated by inflammatory foods and additives it cannot do as good of a job against viral infections.
2. GOOD HAND WASHING

Good hand washing can prevent a lot of illness! Antibacterial soaps and traditional hand sanitizers are not recommended due to the harm they do to your immune system by killing your good bacteria. These good bacteria are absolutely critical players in immune system health. It’s the friction and washing that removes the germs, chemicals are not needed.
We recommend using Castille or Lard soap or Doterra On guard! IF hand sanitizers must be used on the go, we recommend Organic Hand Sanitizer.

Keep your medicine cabinet stocked with potent, safe, & highly effective formulas so that you can begin taking your quality supplements right away rather than waiting for illness to take you or your loved one down!
We have seen excellent results with our Liposomal Essential Oil Formula. Our custom formula contains pure ingredients of top antiviral essential oils & gets rave reviews from our clients during viral illnesses!
When these tiny fractions of drops of the oils are delivered by liposomes ( tiny fat bubbles that can get across the stomach acids and enzymes and deeply penetrate tissues safely) it reduces viral activity and helps your body to fight it off quicker with less symptoms. It meets all safety criteria set forth by Robert Tisserand, essential oil researcher and expert.

For a sweeter tasting yet still potent formula we recommend Biocidin LSF. This Nasal Spray and Throat Spray are also MUST HAVE items for your medicine cabinet!
These can both help to reduce the discomforts of sinus drainage and sore throat, and help boost your immune system’s ability to get on top of the virus faster.
These bundled together are a fantastic team to have on your side during cold and flu season. You will want to use these tools early and often until your symptoms are much improved.
For Stomach Viruses adding in a high quality humic/fulvic binder always helps!
