Beating Colds and Flus.... BEFORE They Get You!

The contents of this post are not to be considered as medical advice. Always consult a qualified health care professional before trying health maintenance methods that are new to you.

It's not over yet, and I just found out the hard way...

Cold and flu season... those nasty little devils that can sneak up on you and make your life miserable.  

While the season has been on for several months here in the northern hemisphere, we're at a particularly difficult time right now as the ambient temperature starts to fluctuate above and below the two critical numbers - the freezing point (0C/32F) and the "comfort point" (20C/68F).  

This happened here just last week - last Friday was a balmy, spring-like 10C and the next day the mercury fell 10 degrees below freezing.  That was when my wife's virus, the one she had had all week, decided I'd finally be an easier target.  You see, it's around these temperatures that the human immune system has the hardest time.


So here are some thoughts on prevention - yes, if you throw this heavy artillery against an oncoming virus in time, chances are you'll fight off the worst of it.

From Indian Ayurvedic medicine:

First, when you feel something coming on, do what animals do in the wild and stop eating!  Or at least eat much lighter.  This allows your body to devote more resources to killing the invaders.  


Then make yourself a thermo-nuclear beverage.  You can use chicken or vegetable soup stock and then add some ginger, some mushed garlic and as much cayenne pepper as you can stand.  Then drink it, wrap yourself up nice and warm and let yourself sweat it out.  


And finally, the following combination of herbs comes highly recommended - astragalus, reishi and golden seal.  




From Dr. Eddy Basch and Dr. Joseph Mercola:


Finally, here are a couple of videos to get you thinking some more about unique solutions that may help you.  You may or may not agree with all their advice (I'm currently testing some of it myself), but at least you may find something that works really well for you personally:

Healing Power of Light - What You Didn't Know About Your Anatomy...

Following up on last week's post highlighting the 12th Annual Energy Psychology Conference in Toronto, I'm planning to present some interesting facts about your body and how you can heal yourself more effectively.

As you'll remember from that post, many of the world's top scientists agree on one thing - when it comes to the universe "out there" and the universe of our body-mind organism, we know squat!  To be more precise, every time we hit the next "Eureka" moment and discover something new, we suddenly realize just how much of the related information we have no clue about.  It's very humbling and points to the incredible mystery of existence.
 

Your DNA - Not Just Chemicals...

Recent research has proven that your DNA doesn't operate exclusively on the chemical level.  It also operates on the level of light.  In other words, your DNA stores and emits light - biophotons - that interact with the energy fields all around you and transmit information throughout your body.  

It's long been know that sunlight, for instance, is vital to the production of vitamin D, although it's only in the last couple of years that the importance of vitamin D and therefore of sunshine, have been understood.

Well, it turns out that when light enters your eyes or your skin, it gets transmitted to your body's crystalline structure.  Yes, the fascia layer of whitish, thin, tough tissue below your skin, the tissue that wraps your muscles, organs and more, actually has a crystalline structure that allows it to transmit light throughout your body.  Bet you didn't know you had a fiber-optic network inside you?  

This crystalline connective tissue is highly conductive and appears to function in a way similar to the semiconductor chips in your computer.  Not surprisingly, the 12 main energy meridians of Chinese Medicine appear to flow through this tissue and the specific acupuncture points are more electrically conductive than any of the surrounding tissue.  Moreover, when you stimulate an acupuncture point, the body starts to release endorphins, which doesn't happen when other locations are stimulated.  

So it looks increasingly as if you and I are truly "beings of light" in the literal sense.  So what should you do about it?

You Can Use This to Improve Your Health

Here are some basic suggestions for you to improve your health based on what we've discussed:

1. Get more sunlight exposure and don't wear sunglasses to do it!  Your body needs more sunlight in order to boost your production of the vitamin D that's vital to so many of your metabolic processes.  For those of us in temperate climates, that's especially important in winter.
   
   
2. When indoors, do what you can to get full-spectrum lighting and avoid florescent lighting.  In other words, you need to care about the quality of the light you're getting. 
   
   
3. Master "normal abdominal breathing" - that's the method devised by the same people who discovered your body's energy pathways millennia ago.  Abdominal breathing clears blockages out of your energy pathways and builds up your energy supply so that you keep your personal "fiber-optic network" humming along nicely.  If you need help mastering abdominal breathing and other exercises to maximize your energy health, just go to http://www.HaraPower.com.
   
   
4. Be sure to take your fascia layer through its complete range of motion on a regular basis, so that it doesn't fill with fat cells or otherwise atrophy.  This is not only vital to your posture, but also to your energy circulation system, as we've just seen.  If you'd like more details on how to do exactly this, just go to: http://www.RockSolidVitality.com/dvd.

So, as you go about your day today, take some time to think about the light coursing through your body and what a great mystery all of us really are.
