Influenza
|
||
|
We have been receiving a great number of phone calls regarding the swine flu in the past few weeks. This informational sheet has been put together in an attempt to answer questions and concerns that you may have about the swine flu.
The swine flu normally infects only swine but has recently shown the ability to infect humans. Research is now showing that not only is the swine flu able to infect humans, it is also being spread by human-to-human contact, not just contact with swine. The number one thing that you need to remember when dealing with swine flu, or any other illness, is to TREAT FOR THE SYMPTOMS that you are experiencing at the present time. The name of the illness or the strain of bacteria/virus is less important to herbal and homeopathic remedies than you might think. Many of the same things that you would use to treat the regular flu will be what you need for the swine flu as well. Keep in mind that you are probably looking at both viral and bacterial infections occurring at the same time. Viral infections almost always open the body up for overgrowth or infestation of one unfriendly bacteria or another. |

Recommended Essential Oils
|
||
 |
LeDeliverance is considered to be anti-viral as well as anti-bacterial.
Daily use of this oil can boost the immune system and keep it functioning at optimum levels. An inhaler with LeDeliverance should be used frequently throughout the day to “refresh” the body’s defenses. |
|
 |
LeEndo Relief helps the lymphatic system continue to drain and to keep toxins and dying bacteria from over-whelming tissues and cells. This oil is also very helpful during the recovery stages of serious illness because it is designed to strengthen and re-balance the endocrine system as a whole.
|
|
 |
LeMariah is a wonderful support for the entire respiratory system. It promotes the rebuilding of the lungs while helping to eliminate the virus and bacteria from the respiratory system.
|
|
|
|
LeStefanie is another respiratory blend that may be helpful in ridding the body of any anti-biotic resistant bacteria strains.
|
|
 |
 |
|
 |
LeRevitalize and/or LeLife Force are both good oils for improving energy levels during the illness and for helping the body re-gain strength and remove residual bacteria and toxins.

Gelsemium sempervirens 200C
In 1918 a flu outbreak took more lives than was lost in the entirety of Word War I. There were some homeopathic hospitals that had a phenomenal rate of survival and recovery. Gelsemium was the main remedy used. Here are some of the key-note symptoms of Gelsemium Influenza with muscular soreness, great fatigue and headache. Usually great shaking and trembling. Drowsiness with any type of influenza - almost a stupor, sometimes with delirium Feeling of emptiness in stomach or bowels; cramping with diarrhea and yellow discharges; gnawing and/or spasmodic pain in the transverse colon; painful contractions; tenderness in right iliac region Chilliness up and down the spine The face would have a hot, flushed appearance - unlike Arsenicum, below, which has blueness and cold Thirstless, little appetite for food Weak slow pulse with pain in the heart region with movement (Good time to use LeVitality or LeRevitalize oil) Partial paralysis of the bladder. (Use LeRevitalize oil) Feeling of oppression in the chest; slow breathing alternating with spasms and quick, short breaths. Excessive trembling and weakness of the limbs. Pain from throat to ear with the feeling of a large lump in the throat that cannot be swallowed. Dizziness and blurred vision. |

Darting pain through upper right lung; shortness of breath when not sitting up Headache relieved by cold; itchy scalp Liver and spleen enlarged and painful (use LeRevitaliz here) Nausea, retching and vomiting.

Herbal Tinctures

|
RC-L
Red Clover Combination, an amazing blood purifying remedy, to which lomatium root has been added. Lomatium was used in northern Nevada during the 1918 influenza epidemic by the Washoe Indians with amazing recovery results. It is utilized today by naturopathic physicians in the treatment of influenza, pneumonia, bronchitis, etc. |
|
|
Cayenne/Hawthorne
Cayenne sustains and protects the heart during times of stress and during infectious diseases. Hawthorne improves the integrity of the cell membrane and prevents damage to individual cells throughout the body. |
|
|
|
MIN This mineral supplement tincture supplies essential B vitamins needed when the body is under stress, as well as other necessary vitamins for the proper function of the body’s immune defenses. |
|
|
|
Rosehips supply a very potent, very absorbable form of vitamin C in a concentrated form. Vitamin C is necessary for proper cell function and regeneration and for a strong immune system. Vitamin C is required for the uptake of many other nutrients by the body. |
|
|
Olive leaf
Very potent anti-bacterial as well as anti-viral herb. Particularly helpful in reducing the high fevers associated with viral/bacterial attacks. Studies have also shown that it relaxes arterial walls and reduces the hyper-tension that is created by fever and/or dehydration. |
|
|
Some other things to remember
|
||
|
Get plenty of rest
Drink plenty of water The best plan is prevention: avoid exposure Wash hands with soap and water frequently Avoid hand contact with your face and mouth Treat your symptoms as soon as they appear; change protocols as the symptoms change |

Honey for Storage
|
||
 |
Normally, honey comes off the hive between 6% and 8% water content. A moisture content of 18% or less will result in the honey crystallizing or hardening. Generally, you can add about 10% water to honey and it will remain in a liquid state. Many people like to buy liquid honey in pretty jars, so water is routinely added up to about 20%. The problem with this procedure is that at this high level of moisture content, the honey will ferment. It takes a warm environment and several months, but it is still unacceptable to the general public. To solve the problem of fermentation, commercial honey is pasteurized to kill all the yeast. Now, when the water is added, the honey will stay liquid and not ferment. |
|
| The problem, of course, is that the essential oils locked up in the honey are compromised, as are the enzymes, with the pasteurization process. If the honey is contaminated with even a little yeast somewhere down the line, the honey will not keep long term anyway.
For good, nutritious honey suitable for food storage, get it before any water is added. Honey gathered in the spring has more essential oils in it, is generally lighter in color and more nutritious than honey gathered in the fall. |

Dark Field Blood Assessment
|
||
|
The mysteries of understanding health problems can often be opened up to our understanding when we are able to look at an individual’s blood. Two drops of blood are taken from one painless pin prick on a finger. Layered dried blood analysis is where the blood on the second slide which was allowed to dry is evaluated. Polymerized protein puddles appear as white dots, lakes, or rivers and are the expression of free radical activity and clogged, toxic lymphatics. The layers of the dried blood show minor or major vitamin deficiency, adrenal stress, and bowel toxicity which is indicated by dark splotches and can cause allergies. |

|

|
Wintergreen (Gaultheria procumbens)
|
||||||||
|
Often listed in the literature as a dangerous oil that is contra-indicated for just about anything. According to Robert Tisserand - a world renowned aroma therapist - this listing makes little real difference since for the last 40 years or so the essential oil marketed as ‘wintergreen’ is really a form of ‘birch’ and is very safe and effective as an analgesic (pain reliever). (See birch for any contra-indications as well as a description of the possible uses for this oil.) Wintergreen smells wonderful and adds a ‘earthy-minty’ aroma to any blend (usually a pain formula of some kind) that it is added to.
Ingredient In: LeDeeper, LeTenda Care Therapeutic Properties: analgesic, anti-inflammatory, anti-rheumatic, antiseptic, antispasmodic, disinfectant, diuretic, warming Application: apply to appropriate areas of the feet or directly to areas of concern on the body being sure to dilute well, diffuse Aromatic: cleansing and opening to the physical senses Contra-indications: high methyl salicylate content - some people can be very allergic, always test a small area first; avoid during pregnancy or if epileptic; best if diluted with a carrier oil |
