Vaccine partially effective
The vaccines cannot totally prevent infection with the virus, they reduce the severity off the illness. So it's a good idea to take extra preventative action.
Preventative action you can take
Include the ACE2 receptor blocker foods to help stop the virus invading your cells. Plus some specific foods and spices that improve immunity to the virus -
AVOCADO, ASPARAGUS, LAMB, WHEY PROTEIN, OILY FISH, BROWN ONION
TURMERIC, GINGER
Use the 3 steps above plus these 3 to keep your immune system strong -
KEEP YOUR ZINC LEVEL UP. Zinc is vital to your immune system and it also directly inhibits viruses from damaging your cells. Foods high in zinc are - meats, chicken drumsticks, thighs & wings, nuts, seeds, pepitas. If you haven't been eating these, please start. If you have white spots on nails and are prone to infections, you may need a supplement. Have 25 - 50 mg elemental zinc daily.
TAKE GOOD QUALITY ECHINACEA DAILY. You need to read the label. Its active ingredients are highest in the dried root of E. angustifolia and E. purpurea. A combination is best, but either one will work well.
Good examples available OTC are Thompsons Echinacea 4000, Herbs of Gold Echinacea 4000 Complex and Caruso's Echinacea 6500.
The best one available from Naturopaths is MediHerb Echinacea Premium. Take 1 -2 morning and night.
If you get the virus, help your immune system
The health authorities are pretty much overwhelmed by the number of cases of omicron, so it's up to us to treat ourselves at home if we have a mild illness. Here's what you can do.
A stronger version of the above drink helps stop the virus getting into your cells and boosts immunity. If any symptoms develop, start early. Use it for any respiratory infection.
BLEND A PIECE OF GINGER THE SIZE OF YOUR THUMB WITH HALF OF A LEMON. STEEP FOR ABOUT 10 MINS IN 1 LITRE BOILING WATER AND ADD RAW HONEY TO TASTE. DRINK OVER 24 HOURS.
TAKE ANDROGRAPHIS, an immune stimulating herb. Experience in Thailand has shown it speeds recovery in people tested positive with covid 19. NOT RECOMMENDED IN PREGNANCY.
Examples available OTC are Fusion Activiral (take 3 - 4 daily) and Nutralife Cold & Flu Immune Support (take 2 - 3 daily). Available from Naturopaths are MediHerb Andrographis Complex (take 2 tablets 3 - 4 times daily) and Metagenics AndroNK (take 3 daily).
DRINK GREEN TEA, which works the same way as Hydroxychloroquine. They are both zinc ionophores; they carry zinc into the cell where it can disrupt the virus. It's included in the formulation of AndroNK.
So, HELP YOUR IMMUNE SYSTEM and STAY POSITIVE. You will most likely overcome it.
NATUROPATHY
We are designed to win!
In good health all our cells and organs are working properly to carry out their allotted tasks. We have inherent regulating and healing mechanisms that are always striving to keep us in good health. Our bodies are ‘designed to win’.
If the organs are forced to struggle because of stress, nutritional imbalances, toxins, infections, etc your body compensates and does the best it can in the circumstances. This may produce some symptoms or some abnormal readings on your blood test.
Rather than just suppress symptoms, Cameron investigates to find out what is throwing your body out of balance and what it is attempting to do. He then gives a treatment regime that will support your body in its efforts to restore good health.
Health Assessment
Cameron has several tools available to assess your health:
Blood test results are analysed using reference ranges for optimal health rather than ranges based solely on risk factors or what’s statistically ‘normal’.
Treatment
Diet and lifestyle are fundamental for good health, but we’re all a little bit different so Cameron makes a point of assessing your type of metabolism and unique nutritional needs. He uses nutritional supplements, medicinal herbs and homeopathic remedies to give relief of symptoms and correct underlying problems. The treatment is reviewed and adjusted at follow-up consultations as you progress through the stages of healing.
Optimise Your Health
You don’t need to have a health problem to benefit from Naturopathy. A Naturopathic check-up is a good way to optimise your health and help prevent any unwanted problems.
Children's Health
Children respond very well to Naturopathic treatment as their innate vitality is high. Often only simple remedies like minerals or homeopathics, combined with dietary modification, is needed.
Treatable conditions include; fevers, frequent infections, tonsillitis, allergies, glue ear, rashes, fussy eating, growing pains and behavioural problems.
What Can Be Treated?
Naturopathy can successfully treat many conditions. You can expect a rapid response with acute infections. It is ideal for long-term disorders, where the underlying causes can be addressed and real changes can be achieved.
Conditions that can be helped include:
Results
The results speak for themselves. Some typical quotes from clients:
“This is the best I’ve felt in a long time.”
“Sarah started improving from the first dose.”
“I didn’t realise what a difference a better diet could make.”
“I’m sleeping so much better and I just feel lighter and happier”
