The swine flu spread through the United States years ago and there has not been the threat that was of that magnitude for years. However, every few years the swine flu does pop up here and there. Whether it is swine flu, bird flu, or any other new flu that rages through our lives, they can all be successful treated with similar ingredients.

Here is a list of 10 herbal ingredients that have shown to combat various strains of flu. I first began using this ingredient list with success when the Swine Flu struck Texas. The list still is effective today.

1. Cranberry and Elderberry taken every couple of hours.

2. Take Apple Cider Vinegar and Baking Soda. I use and recommend Bragg’s Apple Cider Vinegar and Bob’s Red Mill Aluminum Free Baking Soda. Arm and Hammer has aluminum in it. You can find Bragg’s Apple Cider Vinegar and Bob’s Red Mill Aluminum Free Baking Soda at most health food stores. This alkalinizing drink will help to keep your internal environment in a state that viruses, bacteria, and microbes cannot live in.

Mix 2 Tablespoons Bragg’s Apple Cider Vinegar and
½ teaspoon Bob’s Red Mill Aluminum Free Baking Soda
in 6 oz of Pure Spring water.
Mix and drink right away.
Repeat 2-3 times per day.

3. Spicy Hot lemonade will help sore throats and thin mucous congestion

6 oz of pure spring water
Squeeze 1 lemon for the juice
Add enough raw honey to cut some of the sour
Add 1/8- 1/4 teaspoon Dried Cayenne Powder
Sip. Kids love this too.

3b. For a sore throat, you can also gargle with ¼ teaspoon of Dried Cayenne Powder and water.

4. Chew Honey Comb. You can find Honey Comb in honey at many health food stores. Take a teaspoon of the wax and chew like gum for 20-30 minutes. This also helps with headaches and honey will also thin mucous.

5. I’ve always felt so many supplements fell short because they had toxic excipients and toxic tag-alongs due to their manufacturing process. There are a few brands out there that are really good brands. Look for companies that promote excipient-free products. Excipient-free means what you see on the label is what you get; there are not any added chemicals or fillers.

You will have to take higher than average dosages of supplements when you are not feeling well.
You will want to Turmeric.
High doses of probiotics
60,000 iu Vitamin D3 first day and 10,000 iu Vitamin D3 each day after that.

6. Baths are one of the best remedies.

For a good detox bath:

Add 1 cup Epsom Salts and
1 cup of Baking Soda.
Add in a half of container of dried ginger.
Soak in a hot bath for 40 minutes.
Get out and lightly mist 3% Hydrogen Peroxide on your skin.
Wrap yourself in a warm robe and get under multiple blankets to continue sweating.

7. In cases of High fever and severe coughing at night, especially in children, before bed:

Take 2 whole garlic cloves and smash them.
Lay gauze on the bottom of the feet and place the garlic on top of that.
Wrap the garlic with self-adhesive bandage or tape.
Put on socks. Remove in the morning. You may see a red area on the bottom of the feet where the garlic was. This is just an example of the power of garlic, and this will fade in a few days.

8. Do not overeat. Overeating stresses your system. A liquid diet is great when you are not feeling well. Make sure you get some garlic in those liquids!

9. If your body requires sleep, get good sleep. Do not turn on the TV for a few nights and get some sleep.

10. Drink plenty of Pure Spring Water to flush the viruses, bacteria, and microbes out of your body.

You can employ several of these remedies together. Pick and choose what you want. All in all, make sure you are eliminating several times a day. Bowel movements will move the illness out of your body. If you are not eliminating at least 2 times a day, consider taking a Smooth Move type tea or Oxypowder. You can even use warm water enemas to help flush your system.

Getting sick is your body’s way of telling you to slow down and look at something. Reduce stressors and enjoy life as much as you can.
You will be feeling normal very quickly if you adopt these 10 steps. These are proven to work in my clinic and also in my own home. Print out this list and keep it on your refrigerator and keep a copy on your computer for future reference.
