Flu

Intestinal flu:

It has been my experience that most intestinal flu like symptoms come from several causes, bacteria, toxins or both. I have two different approaches but they can be used together. There are other possible causes many chronic in nature but these are the two areas I have experienced.

Toxins are simply chemicals your body does not need and if it elects not to store them in tissue it will flush them through the action of vomiting and or diarrhea. I stop this by taking several capsules of activated charcoal, an inexpensive product available at most health food stores and local pharmacies. As the charcoal passes through the stomach and intestinal tract the charcoal absorbs the toxins. I find it works very well and quickly. The toxins can
come from chemicals used in the farming process or as a byproduct from bacteria, mold etc. growing on the food. Cooking kills the bacteria but the toxins often survive the process.

Bacteria can be stopped by taking the recommended amount of colloidal silver. This is usually something like 8-10 drops in 4-8 ounces of water but detailed instructions are available on the label. Silver is added to charcoal based water filters to block the growth of bacteria because it has a unique disinfecting quality. Colloidal silver is silver in a microscopic suspension but highly effective. Taking the recommended dosage on the bottle in eight to ten ounces of water my flu like symptoms usually stop within 30 minutes.

You would not want to do these two strategies at the same time because the charcoal would bind and absorb the silver. I believe the best approach is to start with the colloidal silver then one or two hours later after symptoms have passed I would take the charcoal as a clean up measure.

I do not take colloidal silver daily because I think it would weaken or kill the natural bacteria that are needed for a healthy intestinal tract. The charcoal will absorb most compounds so take it after any medications or supplements. A day or two following a colloidal silver usage I either take acidophilus or eat yogurt with active cultures to restore the healthy intestinal bacteria.

You do not want to take charcoal if there is a possibility your are reacting to Tylenol or other medications because it may block the antidote used to neutralize that compound.

Occasionally you will eat something that is tainted and you will have diarrhea. If there are no worse symptoms such as fever, swelling pain etc. you can gently massage the neurolymphatic points( see Lymph System) for the large intestine and this will stop the diarrhea. You may need to repeat this several times in a day. This works quickly so you should get some relief immediately then repeating it several hours later only strengthens the effect. This will not mask a more severe condition and can be done safely as often as you wish. It works because if you eat something tainted as it passes through the large intestine it causes the lymph around the intestine to become toxic. Gently rubbing these areas especially any spots that are tender causes a reflex action forcing the lymph to move sending toxins away and bringing clean fresh lymph to the organ restoring healthy function.

Respiratory Involvement

When I experience any lung or bronchial involvement I take the herb Mullein, Ester C (if available), Beta Carotene and breath Atomidine steam. I just heat a small pan of water, remove it from the heat or turn the heat off, shoot 10 drops of Atomidine (do not use if you are allergic to Iodine) into the hot water then put a towel over my head to funnel the steam and breath the vapors over a 5-10 minute period. If I am also have nasal mucous I take zinc and the herb Licorice. If I have a cough I take Lobelia s it is an excellent cough suppressor.

Flu in general:

Regarding the present concern for the various flu's that seem to always show up. During the day I sell medical equipment and one area of supplies I sell is quality assurance products to check possible contamination of hoods, refrigerators etc. To check the air or an appliance you take a media such as a small paddle then expose it to the air or use it to wipe the surface of the appliance you are checking. You then set this test media aside or maybe even incubate it. If after a given time such as two weeks you do not see any growth on the media you can consider what you tested as clear or clean. I tell you this to draw your attention to the fact it takes certain conditions to grow a culture. If you take that sample and put it in the sun light or subject it to extreme cold you could easily destroy the culture. Any significant change in the body's chemistry such as moving from acid to alkaline will impact the bacteria or virus' ability to grow and multiply. So changing your diet or lifestyle will impact your illness process. Obviously, some cultures are stronger than others but they all require some set of conditions for growth. You can use PH tape from Hydrion available through most health food stores to check your own PH. You simply place some saliva on the tape and you will see in the color change your PH.

So I am not surprised that back during the time of the Cayce Readings they told people colds and the flu could be prevented by keeping the blood more alkaline. I am a mentalist in the sense I believe the mind has a part in all major experiences, see my Theater of Life so I would naturally use the mind to clear all thoughts of guilt, low self worth, disease and illness while simultaneously moving to do the things needed at the physical level for optimum health. So it only makes sense to me to test the advice which is to keep the body alkaline and one of the best ways suggested was using three vegetables, lettuce, carrots and celery as a part of one or more of your meals. I would also back off or minimize all the hard to absorb or hard to process substances such as drugs, alcohol, white meat, red meat, white sugar, white flour, processed foods and so on because they place a burden on the body and use energy that, if freed, could heal and protect it. Additionally, the typical red meat and processed food diet will produce an acid balance in the blood stream making ideal conditions for some infectious agents.

H1N1

If you are pregnant or this is for a small child check with your doctor before taking any action.

I have not had the H1N1 but here is my take on this illness. First, be aware the media needs to make this dramatic to keep the audience attention. Every loss of life is sad and regrettable but if 10,000 people have the flu and 50 die you will only hear about the 50. Keep your wits about you, as they used to say, and you will survive. You must always see yourself as having more power than the virus or bacteria. The balance of power must always lie with you. If you have a weakness for any infections or an impaired immune system consider the vaccine. My understanding is that the single dose vaccines do not have mercury it is only added as a preservative to the multi dose vials. If you elect to prepare yourself naturally live moderately getting a balanced diet that keeps your blood alkaline, (viruses have difficulty in this environment) get exercise, some freedom from stress and remind your Unconsciousness you are healthy and deserve to have a remarkable healing ability. If you show any symptoms seek medical help. If help is not available I would immediately take the antioxidants A (Beta-Carotene-preferred), C (Ester C or a Calcium bound version-preferred) and E (d-alpha with mixed tocpherols-if possible) follow the directions on the bottle. These are the anti-infection vitamins. You might also consider Zinc and Selenium. I would also take Mullein (prevents fluid build up in the Lungs) plus any good Liver support blend (the Liver will quickly be involved in any infection). If my lungs became involved I would breath the vapors of Atomidine or Colloidal Silver in water. Both Atomidine and Colloidal Silver have anti-bacterial properties and while steam is preferred you could use a humidifier. I would simply add what you would normally add to a glass of water (directions should be on the bottle). I would do it once or twice a day ( evenings or morning & evening) depending upon the severity of the involvement. I believe Atomidine would be stronger than the Silver but Colloidal Silver can be found at any health food store and I would use it to help control the possible Lung infection process. If I developed a cough I would take Lobelia as a cough suppressant. I would control the fever with basic steps, tepid bath, homeopathic's (Belladonna is one I would take if my fever is low and it takes it down close to normal), rest not action, over the counter remedies etc. I believe there is a homeopathic remedy for the H1N1 and it is available through Elixirs.com but I do not know anyone who has had this illness and used the remedy so I can not comment beyond this. Some experts are stating this flu is so far more benign (weaker) than they expected so have faith you can overcome and be healthier for it. I personally will not be taking the vaccine. I am older probably have been exposed to earlier Swine Flu plus I have faith in what I have put in writing here.

There has been a great interest in this subject for a similar but different take please visit the following site,Cayce Flu Readings

Understand that any general health weakness will predispose you to the flu.

Your best defense is to improve your overall health and common sense would be to do things such as wash your hands, eat balanced meals, rest and so forth.

If you experience the flu you need to address the symptoms then as you heal go back to the bigger plan of constantly improving your health. As always these are quick home remedy solutions. If your condition persist seek outside help because high fevers, loss of fluids etc can be dangerous.
