I cannot believe I have been in Colorado for three months now; it feels like I have been here for so long and yet also like I just got here. I caught the cold-flu that has spread across the country in less than two weeks. I usually don't get sick unless I have one or two other issues in my body and I did; I have a wisdom tooth coming in and I ate Mc Donalds. I eat really well most of the time so when I don't it is always a little hard on my system. I could tell when I finished my chicken nuggets and french fries that my body was upset and the next day I got a fever, sore throat, achy body, and slowly a stuffy head then congested lungs.
I love sharing what has helped me:
I love sharing what has helped me:
- High doses of vitamin C (I drink 3-5 Emergen C packets a day). Vitamin C helps carry garbage out of the body.
- Extra sleep; sleep as much as your body needs. My body likes to sleep about 12 hours when I'm sick.
- Chew on garlic. Garlic is an antibacterial, antiviral, and anti-fungal agent. I love to chew on half a clove at the back of my mouth (you will smell like Italian food).
- A lot of water; helps wash out the toxins.
- Oil pulling got rid of my sore throat. Oil pulling helps rid the mouth of bad bacteria: use 1 Tbsp. of organic coconut oil and swish in your mouth for 5 to 15 minutes (I like to do it while I shower) 1-2/day. When the oil turns thin and milky you know it is time to spit it out. Be sure to spit out the oil since it has absorbed a lot of the bad bacteria in your mouth.
- A nice walk and/or gentle yoga; out lymphatic system, immune system, moves when we move = moving will help your body detox.
- Vitamin D3 50,000 iu single dose; Vit. D fights infections, including colds and the flu by regulating the expression of genes that influence your immune system to attack and destroy bacteria and viruses. More Info
- Elderberry syrup 1 tsp every 1-4 hours. Elderberry helps induce sweating, and helps relieve congestion.
- Laugh a lot; I watch really funny shows. My favorite funny show on Netflix right now is: Comedians in Cars
