Thought I’d add a link to doctor Christopher’s information on the virus. His father wrote several books on health, which I often referred to as my bibles. My children grew up on his formulations for every childhood illness. I never took them to the doctor, their illness rarely lasting for more than 2 days. I completely attribute their excellent health to the senior Dr. Christopher and his remedies, combined with a healthy diet.
Lucas in particular suffered many years with different lung illnesses. I cannot say for sure, but I always believed this was due to his incredibly traumatic birth and the fact that he was so purple, (he was almost black) when he was born. I completely depended on the herbal remedies from my bible during his younger years. Eventually, his body became strong enough to defend itself against the yearly lung illnesses, his immune system so much stronger. However in his teen years, swayed by peer pressure, he started to eat at places like MacDonalds. The consequences hit him very hard. His body which had only known healthy nutritional food up to that point, now collapsed from the lifeless food he was putting into his system. Never before had I seen him so sick, taking well over a week for his body to recover from the cold and flue like symptoms. He could hardly breath, and I was very worried about him. I learned over the years that our bodies are capable of defending itself again disease, but it starts with proper nutrition, something many have forgotten. No matter how you sing it, MacDonalds does not provide a healthy meal…..sorry to break it to you.
I learned that there are 2 types of mucus in our bodies. The thin layer is our bodies main line of defence and what we were born with. It is slippery, so the germs cannot stick to it. The heavy mucus is what we create because of our diet. This heavy mucus provides an excellent accommodation and breeding ground for germs because it is so sticky. Lucas’ sudden change in diet created so much heavy mucus, it was very difficult to get rid of it. He has learned the hard way, as most of us do, that he had to return to the diet of his childhood to remain healthy.
If the mucus is clear, you don’t have an infection, but the green stuff, means you have an infection of some kind. Don’t take medicine to suppress your cough, you want to get that heavy mucus out of your body as quickly as possible, so blow it, spit it (safely) and watch how much better you feel. Horehound is an excellent expectorant.
We’ve all heard the saying “you are what you eat”. And while I try not to be critical of what I see others consume daily, this is a good time to look at your diet. Get rid of things like cheese whiz, processed meats, mayonnaise, fried foods, dairy, white flour and sugar, processed foods period. These are all things which create that sticky heavy mucus, so for awhile try to stay away from those types of food. Stick to fresh, whole foods which give your body the nutrition it needs to fight illness.
This is a quote from the article (link below) and this simple suggestion is why I always loved Dr. Christopher. He explains things to help you understand his recommendations. “You decrease your odds of getting any virus or bacteria if you frequently wash your hands in soap and water. Soap makes the surface slippery and the viruses slide right off. Wipes may not remove the viruses and certainly cannot kill them.”

One virus can enter one of your cells and replicate into a million viruses. When the cell dies the viruses are released and can enter a million of your cells. This proliferation can occur because your immune system doesn’t attack its’ own cells. However, the more important fact to know is that all cells are nourished and all cells need to eliminate. When an infected cell eliminates, genetic traces of the invader are released and your own macrophages envelop this genetic material and present it to a T-helper cell which promotes the creation of specific T-Killer cells that inject toxins into the infected cell that destroy the invading virus. In essence, only your immune system can save you from viruses.
So of course it is up to you if you want to listen to my advise, which comes from many years of experience, or not. I’m not going to pretend that I have a perfect diet, but I know when I did for a few years after I had my tumor removed, I felt fantastic. I was the same weight as I was during my teen years, so I felt light, I had lots of energy and I was very alert. I often slide and eat foods I shouldn’t, but overall I understand the principals of good nutrition, proper medicine and preventative action. Fear is your enemy, knowledge is your best friend. Be aware yes, learn more and protect yourself in the ways best for your body to cope. What worked for me may not be right for you, but you can learn what is right by doing your own research. Follow your intuition, we all have it, we just forget to use it.
Years ago I came down with the flu for the first time in my life at least as far as I remembered. I don’t think I could have forgotten such a horrible experience though. I was in bed for a week, which completely amazed me because to spend even one day in bed was unheard of for me. I thought my head was going to explode, the pain was unbelievable. This coming from a long time sufferer of severe migraines. I know I never want to be sick like that again, but I feel because I had the experience, my body is now better equipped to fend off such viruses. Time will tell – will I get the virus……or not.
I pray for a quick end to this situation as I know it is affecting so many in ways which have nothing to do with being sick. Take care of yourselves, eat smart and rest. May we see the other side of this problem in the very near future…….
