COVID-19…BE IN THE KNOW! PART II

This morning when I turned on the TV CBS news was broadcasting a story about one of their news correspondents who happened to be in Italy. Seth Doane, a regular contributor to CBS, has an apartment in Italy and is under home confinement there since testing positive for COVID-19. After listening to his description of the Italian medical procedures and his new normal there, the American correspondent, GAYLE KING, asked him what he was given for medicine. He then replied, “Oh there is no medicine, you just have to tough it out!”

OMG…I was absolutely appalled!

It is hard to imagine that in 2020 the medical community and the public at large has NO IDEA how to stimulate the immune system or improve symptoms from a virus?!

For this very reason I decided to release a second post. Contrary to ‘popular belief’, the holistic health community has experienced many tried and true options for stimulating the immune system. There are also a number of options for mitigating symptoms from a virus…any virus!

#1 TIP TO HELP FIGHT AGAINST THE FATAL ASPECT OF COVID-19:

FROM A COLLEAGUE; THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION RECENTLY PUBLISHED IN THE GERMAN JOURNAL ‘FOCUS’,
“Hospitals in China found that by using enzymes against Coronavirus the virus becomes deactivated and prevents the virus from docking on the lungs.”

In light of this, eat as much fresh fruits and vegetables as possible and/or add a broad-spectrum digestive enzyme containing PROTEASE to your supplement regime 2-3 times daily. Fresh food contains an abundance of enzymes and can be further enriched with additional supplementation.

The reason the elderly is so effected by COVID-19 is because they possess far fewer enzymes than the younger population. Enzymes are your first line of defense against the more serious aspects of the virus!

The following is an abbreviated list of the many natural immune builders…

IMMUNE BUILDERS:

VITAMIN C- high doses validated by an abundance of published research
COLLOIDAL SILVER – especially as a nasal spray
HONEY with TURMERIC & CINNAMON- see details in previous post at: https://elenaupton.com/blog/coronavirus-covid-19be-in-the-know/
MONOLAURIN-derived from coconut fat
CLOVE OIL, TEA TREE OIL, OREGANO OIL- All shown to be natural anti-virals
OLIVE LEAF-based supplements
ELDERBERRY– Especially for children
MUSHROOM based supplements such as Cordyceps, Lion’s Mane, Maitake, Shiitake, Reishi, etc.
ECHINACEA & GOLDENSEAL
MULTI-MINERALS- (Colloidal) to help to boost nutrition
THYMULINE- this particular remedy is dispensed regularly by Homeopathic practitioners along with INFLUENZINUM prior to the flu season each year.

REMEDIES TO HELP TO MITIGATE VIRAL SYMPTOMS:

The following are referred to as the ‘Genus Epidemicus’– the name given to the medicines identified in Homoeopathy to be used for the treatment of a specific communicable disease.

(Each remedy is listed with key-note symptoms, but includes many other symptoms.) Further information at: https://elenaupton.com/books/, or reference the many free Materia Medica publications online.

ACONITUM -First line of defense, then add any of the following that coincide with symptoms.
GELSEMIUM- Great fatigue, chills, trembling, esophagus stricture.
BRYONIA- Mucus membranes dry, aggravated by least motion, coughing on breathing.
CAMPHORA- First stages with chilliness and sneezing, headache, breathing anxious, suspended respiration, attacks of dry cough.
EUPATORIUM PERFOLIATUM- Headache, cough with soreness in chest.
MERCURIUS VIVUS- Dry cough at night, yellow/green sputum during day, right-sided chest pain.
PHOSPORUS– Oversensitive senses, tightness across chest with oppression.
PHOSPHORIC ACID- Weak feeling in chest, crushing headache, great debility.
ANTIMONIUM TARTARICUM- (later stages) Violent back pain, suffocative breathing, rattling mucus with little expectoration.
STANNUM METALLICUM- great debility in respiration, extreme weakness and heaviness in chest, ameliorated by expectoration; headache gradually increases and decreases.
MURIATICUM ACIDUM- Fever with cold limbs, intense burning heat, weakness with great heaviness, sharp pains with oppression across chest.
CROTON TIGLIUM- (Used extensively during Cholera epidemic) Drawing pain through left chest to back, burning in esophagus, pain above right eye.
SENEGA- Rattling in chest, cough may end in sneeze, bursting pain in back, bursting pain in forehead into eyes.

Homeopathy has successfully been used in epidemics for centuries; Cholera, Encephalitis, Typhus, and Spanish flu to name a few. There is much documentation, however, even today allopathic medicine continues to ignore the power of Homeopathy. The following is one publication of many outlining the efficacy and long history of Homeopathy in epidemics.
