RE: Bad cold since 10 days ...

I can't say for CLO only because I only started taking it, but IMO, coconut oil

is the best thing for viruses. I can chase away a cold/flu with a couple of

TBS's of coconut oil.

If you have a hard time with coconut oil (although I think a piece of toast with

coconut oil is heavenly), you can try coconut butter in hot water. It is quite

tasty.

I personally think you catch a lot of colds when your adrenal is exhausted

(stress could affect your adrenal glands (fight or flight) - supplement with

foods that contain tons of Vit C) or your thyroid is sluggish - underactive

(coconut oil will definitely rev it up).

I've read that most people are low in magnesium - the soils are depleted and

things like stress, coffee, and lack of sleep drain it from us. Supplementing

that may help.

Also, good quality probiotics, once or twice a day (yogurt, kefir, sauerkraut,

etc.) are supposed to prevent illness, at least in kids.

Check your air quality - it could be mold giving off spores somewhere. If you

work, you could ask the HVAC people - where I used to work we all got colds alot

and the HVAC guy said there was an area that was thick with nasty mold and

stuff. Finally one co-worker got legionnaire's and almost died. Then they

cleaned it out. You could be getting gassed from sewer gas coming in through a

trap in an unused drain (the water evaporates over time). When your respiratory

systen is constantly under attack from pollutants or irritants, it can't fight

infections as well.

I've heard and some have verified it, that putting drops of hydrogen peroxide in

your ears several times a day can knock out a cold in a day. I tried it and got

an earache instead of a cold once. I then used colloidial silver instead and it

cleared right up.

Pomegranites helps fight off colds. Inhaling salty water (either using a netti

pot or a spritzer to spray a cloud into the air and then inhaling from it - do

that several times) can really clear congestion nicely.

I hope you feel better soon!

Consume your lactos to build up some good gut flora, gingered carrots,

kraut, kombucha, kvass, kefir, yogurt. The immune system begins in the gut.

I agree with you that your immune system probably took a hit from the

stress. I know you know this, but you gotta figure out a way to deal with

the stress. That'll kill ya many, many ways! I was under a tremendous amount

of stress at work, and I knew it was going to put me in the hospital. I was

having trouble sleeping, so I just started getting out of bed when I woke up

at 4 am, and working out. It was purely motivated by self-preservation, not

fitness.

You might try eliminating dairy for a while to get the phlegm under control.

Hope you get to feeling better,

Kathy

Consume dairy, eggs, coconut meat or cream, red meat/organs/glands, bone broth,

on a daily basis. Olive oil, Palm oil, macadamia nuts, and pine nuts are ok

too.

 

Avoid all vegetable oils other than what I listed above. Avoid refined sugar.

Have starches as a much higher level of your daily intake over fruits. Have more

green veggies.

 

Another thing you may want to do is to have your vitamin D levels checked on a

weekly basis by Lab core. www.greenpastures.org recommends that people have a

half tspn of butter oil and a half tspn of fclo on a daily basis and that will

raise your vitamin d levels to optimum. Can't say for sure though.

Ideally your blood level of 25 OH D should be 60ng/ml

 

Have 4 tspns of kelp granules a day boiled in your bone broth for 3 months. Then

lower to 1 tspn a day:

ternative

 

Have 7mg of magnesium chloride per a pound of bodyweight a day for three months.

You can also include a weeks intake into a once a week bath. Then after three

months reduce down to 4.5mg of magnesium chloride oil a day or just have a weeks

worth in a bath once a week.

Get in all your organs by either directly buying them from a story and preparing

them or getting them freeze dried:

 

http://www.drrons.com/organ-delight-traditional-superfood.htm

http://www.drrons.com/grassfed-organs-glands.htm (get the ovary from this page,

1 a day)

 

Let me know if you need more specific directions. Give me more details for that

though.

I meant to say 4.5mg of magnesium per a pound of bodyweight for maintenance

daily.

 

Are you taking in enough calories? Especially when your body heat is up you want

to take in more calories.

 

Try to find out your bodyfat % if you can. Take out that portion of your weight

from your lean bodymass. Have 14 calories for every pound of lean body mass you

have (excluding bodyfat). Then depending on your activity level multiply that

amount by 1.25, 1.5, or 2. That's your daily caloric intake.

 

What does your daily activity level look like? Do you have a desk job or a job

where you sit down all day. Do you walk around a lot. Do you do any sport of

physical exercise?

 

If you fall into the category of sedentary take in a 75% fat, 15% carb, and 10%

protein intake. Walking is a sedentary activity.

 

If you fall into the category of active have a 50/50 ratio of carbs to fat.

 

In all cases have 0.36g of protein per a pound of bodyweight and that's it. Eat

high fat red meat from lamb, goat, and cow.

 

Try to get in raw foods with every meal. If you don't feel you're getting enough

raw foods you may not have enough digestive enzymes and probiotics in your gut:

 

http://probiotics.mercola.com/probiotics-powder.html

 

80% of your immune health is from your good gut bacteria. Your body

optimally stores 100 trillion good bacteria. A serving of this probiotics

actually contains 200 billion good bacteria. Good bacteria also account for most

of your serotonin (happy chemcial) production.

Working out did help with the stress.

I have been healing from severe adrenal fatigue since last fall. On a scale from

1-4, 4 being the worst, I was 3 and heading for 4. Yes, I did take some Standard

Process supplements, Thyrotrophin, Drenatrophin, and Drenamin. My alternative

health care provider muscle tested me for dosage and usage, and even though 2 of

those are for adrenal support, I needed both. But, the recovery is a long term

process.

My opinion is that the best thing you can do for short term results is some form

of exercise to get the feel good hormones going and build good gut flora to

boost your immune system.

Shaker, stress definitely reduces immune function, as does sugar and alcohol. I

believe that raw dairy and natural high quality cod liver oil are the most

potent optimizers of the immune system. I get the Blue Ice natural fermented

CLO from Green Pastures and take a teaspoon or more each day in the winter to

boost vitamin A and D levels. Most other commercial CLOs are highly processed

and have artificial A and D added, which may not be as effective. Raw dairy

supports proper digestion and gut health and also provides all the nutrients we

need for good health. I drink raw Jersey milk and plain raw homemade kefir.

Pasteurized milk and commercial kefir are not effective and may even be

detrimental. Most commercial yogurt and kefir is highly processed and loaded

with immune suppressing sugar.
