To upgrade and energize our bodies and to up-regulate our physiology, we need good wholesome food, a lot of sunlight, lots of breathing, productive physical activity, meditation, affirmations, prayer, visualizations and an optimistic outlook. Weve tried and covered it all, and more, in Immunity+.
For those of you who want to ease into a cleaner and greener lifestyle by making small changes, you can choose where you want to start. We have created a four-week plan for exercise, meditation, nutrition, and affirmations and loaded the book with philosophies of holistic health. Our 4-week immunity-boosting vegetarian meal plan will satiate your taste buds, fill your tummy, and regulate your calorie intake while providing well-rounded nutrition.
For those of you who want to jumpstart a healthier lifestyle, weve created a 28-Day Master Plan (), which combines all the individual plans. Follow this daily programme and youll be on your way to more effective workouts, better nourishment, and an improved attitude; and youll be surprised with lots more as well.
We generally take our health for granted until some chronic ailment wakes us up. Then, we take recourse to medical help. Medicines, by and large, help to suppress the symptoms; however, the state of disease may not disappear. It is then we wonderwhat can we do to stay healthy effortlessly?
We start looking at lifestyle changes, and that is if we think we need to. At times we are oblivious to this factor as other pressing issues consume our thoughts and time. We dont just miss the buswe miss out on the right direction that will lead us to a healthy destination.
Here Id like to say that the human mind is capable of manifesting ones reality.
Competition at work, excessive ambitions, marital issues, relationship concerns, parentchild arguments, and endless other issues create a stress-mess. Weighed down by these problems, we lose our clarity of thought. We get lost managing all these issues, instead of focusing on ourselves.
Stress and illness go hand in hand. There are many diseases that are caused by stress. Emotional stressors affect the immune system, which breaks down the natural defence mechanism of the body.
A negative state of mind is a risk factor for major illnesses. We must learn to get over them, as harbouring and supressing debilitating emotions can be a very unhealthy way to live, which brings upon us a complete paralysis of our state of being.
For years now, ever since the Spanish Flu in 1918, the world has been facing pandemics that have left the common man baffled. But before that, in late 1917, the world was exposed to radio waves/radio frequencies (RF). Radio waves are a type of electro-magnetic radiation. According to studies, when any biological system is exposed to a new electro-magnetic field, the cells in our body are destabilised because of the RF. This causes a state of disorder, discomfort, disease, decay and ultimately death.
In 1968, we had the Hong Kong Flu. The world was at that time once again exposed to radio waves and satellites.
Today, as we confront COVID-19, one of the most dangerous challenges this world has faced in our lifetime, we are exposed to RF radiation from radio and TV broadcasts, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth devices, cell phones (and cell phone towers), and to top it all, 5G.
Is it just a coincidence that these outbreaks coincided with the disturbance of the electromagnetic field, disrupting the flow and rhythm of natural energy?
Healing goes beyond just the body. If we want to get healthier, we need to be aware of our minds and bodies to manage it harmoniously. We can say we have been healed completely when we find our inner equilibrium, when we have better awareness of our being to learn to be in harmony with our inner and outer environment. This heals the separation, the dividing lines, and helps us become whole once again. Cultivating a culture of creative thoughts, productive deeds and companionate words will channelize our emotional energy, translating into a baseline biology, which we call homeostasis. We can channelize our emotions through various means. Eating healthy, pranayama, affirmations, essential oils and various yogic Vedic practices work wonders with the mindbodysoul system. The organic unity of the cellular community gives rise to IMMUNITY FOR HUMANITY.
Above all, we must remember that the most important part of healing is letting go, letting it be, give and forgive.
Holistic healing is where you consider the body, mind, spirit and emotions for the overall healing of the individual. Helping you strengthen this connection between your body and mind is the cosmic energy, prana.
Ive spent over 40 years exploring various facets of health and healing, getting this world MICKEYMIZED with my signature blend of ancient wisdom, married to modern frontiers of science, endeavouring for a disease-free world along with wit and wisdom on wellness and helping people lead disease-free and healthy lives. I have interwoven Yoga, Ved, Zen, Tao, Tantra plus Chinese, Greek and many more philosophies to develop an innovative, holistic health system to self-heal, transform and transcend. At the crux of my 28-day master plan for boosting immunity is increasing prana, the life-giving force that we require to regulate our fast-paced lives.
Ancient cultures believe in the presence of an energy body in addition to the anatomy of the physical body, prana, nadis and chakras, which Ive tried to explain in Section I and throughout the book in bits and pieces.
In simple terms, prana is extracted from the air we breathe from the infinite space (akasha) we live in. It is prana that stimulates and enhances the immune system primarily. By strengthening and boosting our immune cells, prana improves our chances of coping with any kind of viruses, bacteria and germs. Once we are conscious of this, managing our well-being becomes easier.
It is time we learn to take charge of our lives and work at making our immunity infinite, invincible with its army of solider cells, and our inner strength uncompromisable to cope with these invasions.

Soothed Nerves, Lifes Reserves
Our nervous system is a collection of nerves and specialized cells called neurons. This network of nerves and cells is responsible for communication within the body. The nervous system transmits signals to all parts of the body. It is the centre of activities such as learning, thought and memory. It is made up of the brain, the spinal cord and the network of nerves.
