now there are five signs and symptoms

that i believe you should never cover up

with a medication and of course before

you take any action with this

information

check with your doctor but

symptoms

are one of the ways that your body

communicates to you and if you suppress

the symptom

you cover up the communication and

sometimes the medication creates more

harm than good and so when i talk about

these five symptoms

there are much better natural solutions

out there which i will also talk about

but one thing you have to realize is

that a symptom is not the cause it’s a

symptom and it’s

an indication that there’s a problem so

you always want to dive in and see what

is causing this problem

so let’s start with number one

having a stuffy nose a lot of the

medications for um

sinus problems actually cause a

shrinkage of congested blood vessels

okay

the problem is they usually only work

for three days and then you develop a

tolerance for that medication and either

you need more medication or it just

doesn’t work anymore not to mention

giving you other side effects like

insomnia like high blood pressure so if

you have a stuffy nose

i would definitely try something natural

first there’s certain type of nasal um

sea salt rinses that you can use

i just did a video on using a nebulizer

which i’m going to put a link down below

very important video if you have any

type of respiratory problems so a

nebulizer takes a liquid and turns it

into a mist so it can invade your

sinuses and your lungs and

really penetrate a lot deeper but

there’s a great combination of using

garlic oil

iodine black seed

sea salt and colloidal silver all right

next one is the common cold or flu now

the common cold or the flu are viruses

and if you treat a virus infection with

an antibiotic you’re wasting your time

and you’re going to create a lot of side

effects because

so many people are developing

antibiotic resistance

and there’s even 35 000 people a year

in the us that die

from antibiotic resistance so

the overuse of antibiotics causes your

microbes to adapt grow stronger and it’s

very similar to what’s happening out

there with using pesticides with

different plants the pests become

resistant the weeds become resistant and

they don’t work because nature is always

trying to evolve and survive

encounter and develop certain mechanisms

to survive stronger so for the common

cold for the flu

you definitely want to start with

vitamin d

i think a lot of the flu in the winter

is really just a vitamin d deficiency

because one of the symptoms of low

vitamin d

is increased susceptibility

to viral infections and it also creates

a great weakness for your own immune

system i mean just a

chicken soup for example has the ability

to suppress neutrophils and concentrate

neutrophils in certain parts of your

body

to increase your immune system and

overcome certain types of

viral infections now neutrophils are the

main line of white blood cells for any

infections

neutrophils are involved in all the

mucus that you generate

and so chicken soup is a very simple

natural thing that you can do but the

other things that i always recommend are

definitely vitamin d d3 i would take at

least 20 000 international units

zinc

at least 40 milligrams i would be doing

garlic i would do vitamin c and natural

vitamin c at least 500 milligrams and i

would do that on a regular basis really

good for viral infections all right

let’s talk about constipation

i had a lady who came to my office

years ago

that was so constipated

she would go every single month

okay a month i’m not kidding

now she didn’t even come in for

constipation she came in wanting to lose

weight and i said no no no we have to

focus on constipation because

you’re not going to lose weight if

you’re not going to the bathroom and

even over-the-counter laxatives just

stop working for her one of the problems

with laxatives is the side effects you

can lose electrolytes you can have

rebound constipation

it can inactivate your own muscles and

nerves in your colon

your large intestine

and cause some dependence on that

laxative especially if you’re doing a

medication versus a natural herbal

laxative which is works a lot

differently but there’s some real

natural things that i would always try

first one would be a

prebiotic which is um like vegetables

and a probiotic

which is friendly bacteria now if you

combine both of those together you have

things like sauerkraut or fermented

vegetables

very very good for constipation your

microbes help you

break down

fiber they help you break down foods

they help make vitamins but if you don’t

have the right diversity of microbes

you can get easily constipated i mean

think about what happens after you take

an antibiotic it wipes out your friendly

bacteria and one big side effect is

constipation another thing that will

help constipation is a lot of potassium

the other thing that will do it would be

mct oil

it creates a laxative effect

and then also bile salts purify bio

salts one way that you know you’re

taking too many bile salts is that you

it creates a laxative effect but many

times you might be constipated just

because you don’t have enough bile

bile helps to lubricate the colon

vitamin b1 can also help

the pumping action of the colon the

peristalsis and also in a minute fasting

if you’re eating so frequently with

snacks and you’re just cramming all this

food into this pipe that’s literally you

know close to 30 35 feet then maybe your

cola never has a chance to reset and

clean out

so intermittent fasting is very very

important to kind of reset the whole

system and a lot of people get rid of

their constipation when they start

intermittent fasting all right next

topic is insomnia over-the-counter sleep

aids okay medications

many times they’ll use repurposed

medication like antihistamines that were

used for allergies but they found one of

the effects side effects is drowsiness

and now they repurpose it for a sleep

medication the problem is there’s major

side effects especially when you wake up

i remember when i was in high school

i had a job working at the

kenosha i think news i don’t think it

was a kenosha gazette it might have been

the kenosha news

i would have to go there

um third shift okay

and help

assemble the newspaper downstairs for

delivery in the morning and i’ll never

forget this was in the winter time when

it was like 20 below zero and so i had

to drive

at 20 below zero take the battery in

uh into the house and then put it back

in the my car to then drive to this

the kenosha news at two o’clock in the

morning

the problem is i had to get some sleep

before this so what did i do i used an

antihistamine to try to get some sleep

all it did was make me completely drowsy

when i was trying to work and it didn’t

help me sleep one iota but a lot of

different medications that they use for

insomnia are just repurposed like anti

anxiety medication

antidepressants

okay have certain side effects of making

you tired

and so this is what people are taking to

help them sleep these have major side

effects they slow the central nervous

system down they can cause dependence

and addiction so

um there are much

better things to use like vitamin d

before bed like 20 000 i use a vitamin d

really good for sleeping

doing physical work to actually get your

body tired especially if you were an

athlete if you were an athlete let’s say

in high school or college

and

you are 40 50 years old and you have not

kept up that level of physical activity

your mitochondria are so large

that they generate so much energy that

you’re gonna have a hard time sleeping

so you’re gonna have to do more physical

work or exercise to drain out this

energy so you can sleep also getting the

infrared from the sun can increase your

melatonin

if you have not seen my video on that

very important video i put that down

below also celery

is a great remedy for sleep like four

stalks of celery in the evening getting

your breathing um calm down when you

sleep very very important you can

control the autonomic nervous system

by regulating your breathing through

your sinuses

and slowing it down

and relaxing i have a really good video

on that one as well i’ll put that down

below as well and magnesium is also a

good remedy for sleeping and the last

symptom i want to talk about

is a fever a fever is

a normal body reaction to an infection

usually and your body realizes that

these viruses these pathogenic viruses

cannot survive

in high levels of heat so your body is

just heating up to help you get rid of

them

your own body’s microbes can live in

heat but viruses cannot so it’s a real

good mechanism for wiping out viruses

and then when you take something like

nsaid or acetaminophen

or aspirin you’re basically increasing

the duration of infection

you are weakening your own immune system

having a fever is part of what’s called

the acquired immune system

the acquired immune system

is this training for your white blood

cells so many people

freak out when they get sick or when

their kids get sick but getting sick is

a normal immune reaction to the

environment as long as you give your

immune system a chance to overcome this

infection so you don’t want to kill off

the fever right away then you can start

strengthening your immune system the

real problem with complications from

pathogens is

other co-morbidities like

insulin resistance like other health

problems weaknesses within other systems

whether you’re a diabetic whether you’re

grossly overweight whether you have a

history of heart problems that’s when

you have problems

with immune reactions

so just another reason why you should

focus on

getting healthy and strengthening your

immune system now if you have not seen

my immune system video which has been

very popular check it out i put it right
