Let's outsmart allergy season naturally.

Essential oils have profound effects on the body! There are far too many supportive oils for us to cover in a single post, but here are some of our favorites this allergy season:

- Reduce inflammation in nasal passages & sinuses – eucalyptus (Kehrl et al. 2004), balsam fir (Salehi et al. 2019)
- Break up and clear mucus – eucalyptus (Kehrl et al. 2004)
- Support the lungs – hemlock (Salehi et al. 2019)
- Balance histamine reactions – tea tree (Koh et al. 2002), lemongrass (Mitoshi et al. 2014)
- Calm spasms (coughing, sneezing, etc.) – sweet marjoram, balsam fir (Salehi et al. 2019)
- Soothe irritated skin – coriander (Peana et al. 2002)
- Ease stress & anxiety – coriander, lemongrass (Ghazizadeh et al. 2021)
- Support sleep – lemongrass (Ghazizadeh et al. 2021), sweet marjoram (Lee et al. 2023)
- Support focus & energy – eucalyptus (Moss & Oliver, 2012), yuzu (Komori et al. 1995)

Basic health protocol for everyone

I regularly receive messages from people with very serious health issues, wanting recommendations for how to respond to those issues naturally because they don't want to do the cut-burn-poison thing the doctors want to do.

Many of these issues are downright scary, and some I've never even heard of.

There's only one person who knows all the answers, and it ain't me!

But this I do know. Whatever healing that can happen in a body must be enacted by that body. There is only one cure for cancer or diabetes or arthritis or a cold or a pimple: It's the immune system. If your immune system stops, nothing else will cure you. I don't even like that word, "cure", which suggests a problem is gone for good. No health problem can be banished from your life, there is always a possibility of it returning, especially if the conditions that allowed it in the first place occur again.

So, we don't "cure" people, we show you ways to help your body heal itself as well as it can. Obviously, a body's healing capacity is greater at 20 years old than 50 years old or 80 years old. All we can do is try to optimize the healing capacity of anyone's body by giving the body what optimizes its immune system and avoiding what interferes with its immune system.

Certain supplements are known to boost the immune system in different ways for different health conditions.

The fundamental immune system boosters in one's diet are whole, unpolluted foods (organic, unprocessed, unpasteurized, unpoisoned, unradiated, non-GMO, etc.), fermented, sprouted and concentrated foods (juicing, nutritional yeast, black strap molasses, wheat germ, etc.). Even these foods nowadays need extra nutritional help, so we take the appropriate supplements designed to address specific needs (iodine, MSM, the appropriate calcium, miscel vitamins, Concentrace trace minerals, etc.).

There are various therapies/treatments that can help in various ways: water & coffee e***as, use of a nebulizer, colonics, chiropractors and various bioelectrical healing devices can all aid the body in its self-healing efforts.

I have articles that detail various immune system-boosting substances/techniques (list below) that you can find in our library. Whatever health condition you have, however far advanced it may seem to be, there are certain fundamentals that should be followed.

Colloidal silver (CS) is, in my opinion, the best all-around immune system booster I have seen in 30+ years as a natural health practitioner. The only people who shouldn't use it are that small percentage of the population who are actually allergic to silver (1 in every 350,000 people).

It is also my opinion that, starting small and gradually increasing, the more serious the health issue, the more CS should be ingested, sometimes being the only liquid that is being drunk.

The addition of drops of food grade hydrogen peroxide once or twice per day can increase the effectiveness of CS 500 - 1,000%.

Please understand, silver does not cure anything, your immune system does that. Silver is a major booster of the immune system, and enhances the body's self-healing ability.

Start with that and pay attention to your diet/supplementation and you will be doing all that you can do to help your body heal itself.

Various articles that can be found in our library:

Beating cancer on a shoestring budget

Nutrition in a nutshell

Basic EFT manual

Basic e***a instructions

Coffee e***a for liver-gallbladder detox

Coffee e***a procedure and recipe

These are only a few of the many that are available to those looking for ways to respond to various health issues. Please feel free to search through our library.

Seed oils. Bad.

Such a great guide of linoleic acid in cooking oils. Much or all of the damage done by frying comes from oxidation of linoleic acid, so lower is better.

Remember at 4 am-ish when I said the Red Alert notifications were going off again?

Well, they are still going off.

See the aftermath in Israel, of the rocket attacks.
