Immune Boosting Protocol

10/31/2014

I have been getting a lot of emails lately asking "What can I do to prevent getting the flu instead of getting the flu shot?"

Well I decided I would share with you what my husband and I do each year to boost our immune system. I will also include at the bottom what we do if we do get sick. Below you will find a list of supplements, cleanses, and other products we use along with their links! 

Hope you enjoy! 
  • Start fall/winter off with a cleanse/detox. We like to use Clean Start by Nature's Sunshine. You can order it here.
  • 1-2 Tbsp of Elderberry Syrup per day, for toddlers 1-2 tsp per day. You can order that here.
  • 1,000 mg of Vitamin C daily. This is the kind we use, here.
  • Cod Liver Oil Daily. This is the kind we use, here.
  • Put 2 drops of Thieves on the bottom of our feet daily. You can order it here.
  • Wash our hands with thieves soap, wash our body with thieves bar soap, and diffuse thieves at night time. 
  • Drink Kombucha daily. We love Live Soda or we simply make our own.
  • Keep your bowels moving! If we don't have a bowel movement one day, we take slippery elm. This is the kind we use, here.
  • Drink half of your weight in ounces of water per day.
  • Eat little to no sugar! I know it is hard!! Oh & if we do eat a bunch of crap during the holidays, we do another cleanse after the holidays are over!


If you happen to get sick......

Depending on the symptoms we might be having we do a few different things. Below I will describe a few with links if need be!

  • Bronchitis/Sinus Infection-- Dry Skin Brush 2 times daily. Take hot bath every other night with 1 Cup Epsom Salts, 1/2 Cup Baking Soda, 1 Tsp Ground Ginger, & 10-20 drops of Eucalyptus. Diffuse Eucalyptus. 
  • Sore Throat-- Take extra Vitamin C (at least an extra 1,000 mg). Make this drink concoction: 1 Cup Water, Juice from 1 Lemon, 2 Tbsp Honey, 1 Tbsp Apple Cider Vinegar & Drink Warm. Do that 2 time daily.
  • Diarrhea: Psyllium Hulls! Psyllium is known to bulk the waste in the digestive tract! You can buy the kind we use here. Also drink 1 Liter of Coconut Water to replace electrolytes. 
  • Just feeling sick- 1 tsp of Elderberry Syrup per hour (no more than 12 tsp/day). Extra Vitamin C & Zinc. 1 Tbsp Raw honey per hour. 




For any of the above sicknesses:
  • Up water intake by at least 16 oz
  • Take extra probiotics
  • Take a shot of apple cider vinegar each day
  • Take 1 dropper full of tincture! We usually take 1 dropper full per hour if we have the flu, stomach bug, bronchitis, sinus infection, etc.

This is my husband's super cold medicine! Here is my recipe:
2-3 Cinnamon Sticks
1 Inch Ginger Root
1 Tbsp Allspice
3-4 Cloves Fresh Garlic
1 Organic Lemon
2 Inches of Horseradish Root
1 Small Beet (chopped)
1 Cup Honey


Take the above ingredients in a sauce pan and cover with water, then cook on low for about 2 hours. 


Strain the liquid & solids. Put the liquid back in the sauce pan. Add 1 Cup Raw honey & Mix. 1/4 Cup Elderberry Syrup & Mix. Pour into a glass container. I add 1 Cup Burbon to my husbands!


When my husband starts to feel sick, he takes 1 shot glass of this at night before bed. He says it tastes nasty-- but it begins to break up mucus almost immediately! When he wakes up in the morning he feels much better!

Nature's Sunshine

You will notice in many of the supplements that I suggest, it takes you to the Nature's Sunshine website. If you choose to use another company that is up to you, but this is the company I stand behind and have studied. If you spend $40 upfront, you will become a member for a year. When you are a member you receive 33% off of these quality, organic herbs & supplements! 

If it asks for a sponsor  # you can use mine it is:    3121308
