Fight colds and flu.

The flu season is here.

On explanation is this. Venus has a high pressure atmosphere of 117 Pounds per square inch which is over ten times Earth's atmosphere. Venus's atmosphere is over 500 miles deep and a good portion of it is water vapor. Every year when Venus passes between us and the sun the solar wind blows some of Venus's atmosphere toward Earth. This planetary alignment happens to correspond to the flue season. The theory is known as pan spermia. Microscopic virus from Venus can survive space travel in frozen water. Small drops of water come down to earth as rain landing in lakes, streams and water reservoirs.    

Cod Liver Oil DOES in fact contain natural sources of Vitamin D, Vitamin A and essential fatty acids. You’ll want to check the the IU (International Units) per serving to make sure you’re getting a sufficient dosage and that the oil is 100% free from any heavy metal or toxic chemical contamination (i.e. mercury).

My research indicates you should shoot for an intake of at least 2,000 IU’s of Vitamin D3 per day. One tablespoon of cod liver oil will do it.

The hormone-like Vitamin D-3 is essential to thwart viruses that incite the infections of colds and flu.

In our case, while living in the PNW [far north of equator] my wife and I now use Vitamin D-3 at 15,000 IU/day since tests have revealed lower blood levels…when this result must be in the 60-80 range to not only impede colds/flues and a variety of cancers, but also to provide substantial bone repair and strength.


Four to ten-thousand international units of Vitamin C helps the body fight off colds and flu. Smokers should take even more. Take a multivitamin! The B complex can boost your immune system and improve your mental state.     

What Causes a Common Cold?

While getting chilled or wet is not a cause of common colds, there are factors that make you more susceptible to catching a cold virus. For example, you are more likely to catch a common cold if you are excessively fatigued, have emotional distress, or have allergies with nose and throat symptoms.

How a Common Cold Starts

With a common cold, you catch the virus from another person who is infected with the virus. This usually happens by touching a surface contaminated with cold germs and then touching your nose or mouth. You can also catch a cold by encountering secretions someone has sneezed into the air.

A cold begins when a cold virus attaches to the lining of your nose or throat. Your immune system sends white blood cells out to attack this germ. Unless you've encountered that exact strain of the virus before, the initial attack fails and your body sends in reinforcements. Your nose and throat get inflamed and produce a lot of mucus. With so much of your body's energy directed at fighting the cold virus, you're left feeling tired and miserable.


PREVENTION

1. Wash Your Hands

It's the single most effective way to keep from catching a cold or spreading one to someone else.


When to Wash

• Before you eat or touch food
• After you use the bathroom
• After you change a diaper
• When you come in from working or playing outdoors
• After you touch or play with an animal
• After you cough, sneeze, or blow your nose

How to Wash

1. Wet your hands with warm running water.
2. Apply a small amount of liquid or bar soap.
3. Rub your hands together about 10 times (for roughly 20 seconds), the time it takes you and your toddler to sing the "alphabet song." Rub all the way back to your wrists and out to the tips of your fingers.
4. Rinse your hands under the running water.
5. Dry your hands thoroughly with a clean paper towel, and throw the towel into the trash.

2. Practice Healthy Habits

• Eat right, sleep tight, and exercise often to keep your immune system strong—and illness at bay.
• Dispose of used tissues in the trash—not in your pocket or on surfaces in your home.
• Clean household surfaces frequently. Use a detergent and warm water (or a mild disinfectant) to wipe objects and surfaces you or your toddler touch.
• Provide separate (or disposable) cups and towels in the kitchen and bathroom for each member of your family. By keeping each family member's cups, towels, and toothbrushes separate, you'll help keep germs from spreading.
• Strengthen the immune system of every member of your family by ensuring plenty of rest, proper nutrition, and moderate exercise.

3. Catch Some Z's

Lack of sleep can reduce immune functioning, making you susceptible to sickness. So make sure you get plenty of shut-eye.

4. Aerobic exercise helps move the blood around and boosting the immune system.
