Gripe A -e gripes em geral

Parte do texto sobre prevenção para a gripe do Dr. Gabriel Cousens - Tree of Life Foundation

Prevenção é a palavra de ordem, reforcem os vossos sistemas imunitários seguindo uma dieta saudavel com muitos, muitos verdes, fruta e claro as "Super-foods".

A vacina e todo este alarmismo é um negócio de milhões e milhões de euros, dollars... mas não vou comentar mais!

Once we understand that vaccinations are not the key approach to prevent Avian Flu and may even weaken our defense system, or actually cause irreversible disease or death, we are more free to go to the fundamentals of health and building the immune system. It takes us back to something fundamental, such as building the immune system, which is our strategy.
This involves choosing to lead a really healthy, low-stress life, with lots of herbal and anti-viral foods such as: Garlic; shitake mushroom; aloe vera; onion; ginger; spirulina; cruciferous vegetables; elderberries; berries. We want to have Vitamin C, A, E; the minerals zinc and selenium; lomatium; astragalus; St. John’s Wort; Echinacea; licorice; lemon balm; green tea; grapefruit seed extract4; and cat’s claw. We want to keep our stress low, be at peace with the world, get plenty of hydration, and lymphatic protection.
This all means that although there are no guarantees, we are providing the maximum sort of protection for ourselves on all levels.
GREEN LEVEL
The key approach to the bird flu is prevention. At the Green Level, this means a healthy diet. This is going to be an 80-100 percent live-food diet; a diet that inhibits free-radical production; enhances enzyme production; inactivates viruses; and is high in certain nutrients that build the immune system. One of the most important nutrients is Vitamin C. We want to have a diet that is high in vitamin C, and we recommend at the Green Level to certainly have lots of vegetables and fruit, and be taking a highly-potent C. The type that I recommend is a whole-food C, such as Pure Radiance C, Camu-Camu, or Acerola berries. The diet should be a low-glycemic diet that is high in vegetables, leafy greens, and sea vegetables. Also included are: Green superfood powders; grasses; sprouts; the superfoods: bee pollen, cacao, maca, spirulina (which has specific anti-viral effects), chlorella, blue-green algae (which has stem cell stimulants in it and anti-viral qualities), and goji berries. For some cayenne pepper works good as a carrier. Although garlic is not the best for meditation, garlic can be used at the Yellow Level, as it has potent anti-viral effects. Aloe vera, which has anti-fungal, anti-viral, and anti-bacterial properties and is a very high-ormus containing food. Noni is good, as well. These are extremely good anti-viral, immune-stimulating foods.
Other excellent foods and herbs at the Green Level include: Oregano; Cloves; Paprika; Thyme; Peppermint; Lemon Balm; Curcurum; Green Tea; Ginger is extremely good and has many antiviral qualities to it; and Una de Gato.
Natural Cellular Defense (NCD)5 has specific anti-viral, antioxidant and alkalinizing qualities. Studies show that it removes pesticides and heavy metals from the body, strengthening the immune system and making it an excellent Green Level supplement. I recommend 5-10 drops 3x/day at the Green Level. At the Yellow Level, 15 drops 4x/day, and at the Red Level, 3 drops each hour.
Excellent Green Level Immune Tonics
Immune Builder by Mushroom Science (Agaricus Blazei, Cordyceps sinesis, coriolis versicolor, PSP extract, reishi, maitake, shitake)
Host Defense by New Chapter – Another excellent mushroom blend [Maitake (Grifola frondosa), Royal Sun Agaricus (Agaricus blazei), Chaga (Inonotus obliquus), Reishi Mycelium (Ganoderma lucidum), Cordyceps (Cordyceps sinensis), Mesima (Phellinus linteus), Yun Zhi (Trametes versicolor), Zhu Ling (Polyporus umbellatus), Lion’s Mane (Hericium erinaceus), Maitake Fruitbodies (Grifola frondosa), Artists' Conk (Ganoderma applanatum), Oregon Polypore (Ganoderma oregonense), Agarikon (Fomitopsis officinalis), Ice Man Fungus (Fomes fomentarius), Shiitake (Lentinula edodes), Birch Polypore (Piptoporus betulinus), Suehirotake (Schizophyllum commune)]
Influenzium – A homeopathic which gives general flu protection.
We should avoid all poultry products. Obviously the issue of poultry is akin to Mad Cow Disease—we would not be talking about Avian Bird Flu if the people were not exploiting the bird population. One way to make it clear is: don’t eat the birds, or, in other words, “chicken and turkey are for the birds, they are not for human beings.”
It is important to be well hydrated with clean water.6 This keeps the system from getting congested and keeps the lymph going. A lifestyle that moves the lymph is important. One of the best and easiest ways to support lymph circulation is rebounding. Moderate exercise is also good for the immune system.
There are certain nutrients that are in the Green Level that are important. Zinc7 may be the most important antioxidant known, and effects over 300 enzymes. A diet that is high in pumpkin and sunflower seeds is good. Zinc turns out to be extraordinarily important for protection and for healing/treatment of Avian bird flu. One of the dangerous aspects of the Avian bird flu is what we call the cytokine storm. This is an imbalance between Thymic Hormone-1 and -2, which results in inflammation and edema of the lungs and is the major cause of death in Avian bird flu. Zinc corrects the imbalance between TH-1 and TH-2. Zinc re-establishes the hormonal balance that prevents and ameliorates the cytokine storm. There is good evidence that zinc salts also potentiate ten-fold the anti-viral action of the human cytokine interferon alpha. Zinc is an essential component of the specific SOD enzymes, which can significantly reduce mortality rates, following a lung infection. Zinc also decreases the severity and duration of viral and other infections. While it does not kill viruses and bacteria, zinc does stop them from reproducing, and is therefore useful to support the immune system. Zinc quickly dissolves and moves throughout the body fluids - especially saliva and nasal secretions - increasing the strength of the lung epithelial airways, so that they will become less inflamed. Unfortunately today there is a general deficiency of zinc around the world, so we may want to add into the Level Green diet a zinc supplement. Generally, we recommend the Angstrom zinc supplements, because zinc is absorbed through the mouth, which is better than gut absorption. At the Tree of Life Rejuvenation Center, we use Mother Earth’s zinc. I recommend a teaspoon, 1-3 times per day to be held in the mouth for 30 seconds to enhance direct absorption. This is good in terms of just a tablet, around 25-50 mg/day is important. 50 mg is closer to a therapeutic dose.
Selenium is an important preventative nutrient at the Green Level ½ tsp 2x/day. There are natural sources of selenium, such as Ashitaba or 3 Brazil Nuts per day. You do need to be mindful of excessive selenium consumption, which is greater than 200 mcg daily.
Vitamin C is one of the other major protective nutrients. It is a super antioxidant. Under viral attack we get many free radical problems. It is a cofactor for enzyme reactions, and it inactivates viruses, and inhibits lung inflammation, and obviously, the cytokine storm. In oxidating environments Vitamin C increases the release of superoxides and nitric acid to counter the free radicals. Vitamin C is one of the most important things we can use to protect us. The average dose at the preventative level is 1 gram 3x/day of the Pure Radiance C and up to 8,000 mg per half hour if there is actually an infection. At the Red Level, one can use buffered Vitamin C up to bowel tolerance (where one gets gas and slight diarrhea), and then slightly decrease the amount from the 8,000 mg every half hour. I recommend Allergy Research buffered vitamin C.
B-128 is another very important nutrient. B-12 has been shown to minimize the negative effects of the cytokine storm. Cytokine storms are really the key physiology to prevent or minimize, in terms of the people dying from Avian flu.
Vitamin A is another crucial nutrient. We get that in all our leafy greens, and we have a source of A to be used in an acute way that we can go up to 100,000 IU. We have to be careful with A—the beta carotenes will do it in a preventive way. The Vitamin A stimulates the cilia in the upper respiratory tract, which remove bacteria and viruses in the mucous.
N-Acetyl Cysteine (NAC) and Thio-Dox makes glutathionine, which is a powerful immune stimulant and antioxidant to take preventatively at the Green Level.
YELLOW LEVEL
The Yellow Level requires deeper attention. We want to keep to moderate exercise. We want to start to apply some of our herbal combinations. One is higher amounts of garlic. You can soak it in lemon juice 24-48 hours to cut the odor, or you can take allicin concentrates, such as Q-Allicin liquid. You may want to take Echinacea preventatively; the mushrooms9 Reishi, Shitake, and Maitake; Agaricus blazei; cordyceps; licorice root is very antiviral. Astragalus - known as loco weed - is specifically good for avian flu at the Red Level. Increase your amount of aloe vera. Russian Immune is also a good immune system tonic. These are more specific Yellow Level preventatives. They really begin to protect the system in a good way. "
