‘Natural Ways to Boost Your Immunity’

There are prime natural substances Nature provides that are effective in controlling pathogens and poisons in ways that antibiotics cannot. This is good news in light of the recent statement by drug makers Roche who added a warning to its official information on the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) website about how ‘Tamiflu’ may have increased risks of developing delirium and neurotic tendencies in children, including self-inflicted injury.

Are we New Zealanders, as is reported, totally apathetic and resigned to personal control in our lives or not? How many folk will jump up and down about this piece of recently reported bureaucratic control – only time will tell.

As far as natural immunity assistance goes, number one on the list has to be oxygen-rich drinking water. Oxygen kills pathogens and boosts immunity and cell energy. Bottled New Zealand mineral spring water is excellent O2-rich drinking water.

Iodine is the second choice in the ‘keep well kit’. Organic iodine (Lugols, nascent iodine or ‘Iodora’ brands), kills pathogens upon contact, in fact within 90 seconds upon the skin; an excellent natural antifungal and antiseptic agent. Phone around pharmacies for this rare one, they should be able to get it for you.

Magnesium chloride (Mg Cl2 6H2O) is the third most important item in our self-help to good health kit. Magnesium chloride is the water-soluble form of magnesium that has a strong water-gathering and utilizing capacity. Altered cellular metabolism, malabsorption of liquid nutrients and consequent enteropathy (intestinal disease) is the result of years of the body cells being deprived of water attracting magnesium chloride salts in the blood. Rapid aging is a major indication of a lack of this water-soluble salt. For most New Zealanders who do not eat seaweeds, fish and other seafoods, and unprocessed plankton-rich sea salt (which is still abundant with magnesium chloride salt, which is washed out of regular ‘table salt’), daily intake is far below that required to maintain the levels necessary to prevent heart disease, immunity dysfunction and neurophysiologic concerns. A good source of magnesium chloride in liquid form is ‘Ancient Minerals’ brand, or ‘Clinicians’ from pharmacies and some Health stores, and importantly, it is also contained within unprocessed grey, moist Celtic sea salt.

The fourth most significant natural immunity strengthening agent in my opinion is vegetable glycerine (C3, H5, [OH] 3) a tri-atomic alcohol and the greatest curative compound in Nature. It is added to all my Herbal tonics for its phenomenal heavy metal absorbing attributes, especially lead, mercury and arsenic (a semimetal). Glycerine is a solvent unequalled for removing inorganic iron and iodine from the tissues, also nitrogenous alkaloids such as strychnine, atropine, quinine and morphine, and possibly many other poisons.

Glycerine is available from our Waipu Fruit and Vege shop, pharmacies, and most supermarkets (sold for making cake icing). Dosage – 1 teaspoon in ½ cup mineral spring water 3 times per day.

The fifth item in our home health kit are the edible seaweeds – veritable storehouses of the oceans organic minerals – the true healers of living tissues and fluids. Seaweeds such as kelp, carrageen and focus (Iceland moss) carry all the mineral elements required for optimum good health. No Herbs, fruits or vegetables upon land can offer the vast array of minerals, trace elements and substances called ‘vitamins’ that sea herbs carry within their gels. So salubrious are they that one could heal every broken bone, torn connective tissue, and dysfunctioning organs or glands with their extracted gels. You can purchase wonderful edible kelp and carrageen seaweeds directly from the many Thai and Chinese groceries and food emporiums.

The sixth most important item in the self-help to health kit is sodium bicarbonate. The best way to use sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) is incorporated with pure maple syrup and heated above 300 degrees Celsius, which converts it into anhydrous sodium carbonate in a fully soluble form of bicarb of soda that is edible and (apparently) does not have the haemoglobin-weakening effect that unheated bicarb of soda in water has. The ratio to mix and heat is 1 part baking soda to 3 parts of maple syrup. Take 3 to 4 teaspoons of the mixture daily, pre-meals for 2 to 3 weeks, via the mouth (ingestion).
