Introduction

T his short ebook is about empowering you and your family to have the necessary tools to strengthen your defenses around COVID-19, that is the novel Corona virus, with natural immune support therapies. This is information that you will not likely get from your doctor, but could well be life saving.

Why natural therapies?

Nutrition, herbs, vitamins, minerals, supplements, meditation and yoga breathing, have all been used for millennia to support health and well being. Unlike pharmaceuticals they rarely have adverse reactions and are generally well tolerated (although the author has experienced mild reactions to some herbs in the past). Certain foods and supplements can work alongside your immune system as anti-viral agents in themselves, taking a load off your immune system. For instance, Iodine drops kill viruses on contact and when used in a nebulizer may kill viruses in the lungs. Utilizing a number of these supplements together can create a powerful adjunct to immunity, helping fight off or minimize the effects of viruses, including this new Corona virus.

The Corona Virus...

As you may already be well aware, the Corona Virus COVID-19 (as of 13.2.20) is a serious novel virus that arose Dec 2019 in Hubei province in China and can lead to Acute Respiratory Disease (ARD) and Novel Coronavirus Pneumonia (NCP). At this point transmission appears to be limited to droplets (coughing, sneezing), close contact, touching infected surfaces and also through fecal matter. Asymptomatic transmission is also suspected but unproven to date at this point. Generally transmission happens when people touch infected surfaces and then touch their face (eyes, nose, mouth). Thorough hand washing with soap or disinfectant is one of the most effective ways to minimize transmission. Exposure to droplets from coughing/sneezing also spreads the virus, and those infected should cover their mouths when coughing or sneezing.

So what can we do?

Pandemics are scary, being in quarantine is also scary, but knowing how to get on top of a flu-like virus quickly (even this novel strain) and to keep any symptoms fairly mild lessens those fears. Supporting your body and immune system is the best way forward for your family.

You will find in these pages many natural ways to help strengthen the immune system before any exposure, as we shall see in Chapter 1. Chapter 2 outlines what you need to do at the first sign of any viral infection. Chapter 3 contains your shopping list to quickly get things in place. You really don't need to order all of the items on that shopping list, but the essentials are all highly recommended. Get them in place as soon as you can and have them at ready. Chapter 4 outlines further ways to support yourself and your family for body, mind & Spirit. Chapter 5 includes links for your further reading around supplements and other relevant topics.
