Protecting Your Family from H1N1

Doug and I feel that your absolute best protection from any virus is your own immune system. Strengthen this God-given defense with vitamin and mineral-rich fresh vegetable juices, vegetables, fruits, and BarleyMax, a whole-food supplement which we consider the most important food we consume every day.
     Here are some other practical measures we take to keep our bodies healthy and free from viruses:
(1) Gargle twice a day with Listerine. We've read that H1N1 takes 2-3 days after the initial infection in the nasal cavity or throat to proliferate. Simple gargling prevents proliferation.
(2) Swabbing both nostrils with Q-tips dipped in warm salt water is also effective in reducing viral population.
(3) Eat foods every day rich in Vitamin C such as oranges, lemons, grapefruit, tomatoes, broccoli, and sweet peppers.
(4) I like to drink hot decaffeinated Green Tea at night. Drinking warm liquids washes off the proliferation of viruses from the throat into the stomach where they cannot survive.

      Dr. Russell Blaylock in the August edition of "The Blaylock Wellness Report", available by subscription only at 800-485-4350, had the following to say about the H1N1 flu virus:
"The flu virus is supposed to cause a 'cytokine storm'. This inflammatory overreaction is what causes the damage, not the virus itself. This is interesting because all vaccines also cause a cytokine storm, one that can last for decades. This is why vaccines are linked to sudden death, joint pains, depression, weakness and fatigue, mental cloudiness, seizures, neurological disorders, and autoimmune diseases. Unbelievably, no one seems to be concerned about vaccine-caused cytokine storms.
     Sadly, the medical elite ignore the fact that there are a great number of natural substances that are known to calm cytokine storms, and they have no serious side effects."
     Dr. Blaylock provides a list of these natural substances. Two of the most important ones that Doug and I currently take daily
are Bio-Curcumin and Vitamin D3. We would take more of these if there was a Swine Flu pandemic. A dose of 250 - 500 mg of Curcumin taken 3x a day powerfully suppresses cytokine storms and has been shown to reduce viral damage. We currently take 5,000 IU of Vitamin D3 daily but if a true epidemic occured, we would increase to 15,000 IU daily until the danger passed.
      Dr. Blaylock concluded by warning people that the following should be avoided:
(1) Omega-6 vegetable oils such as corn, canola, peanut, soybean, safflower, and sunflower
(2) Fluoride in any form such as often found in toothpaste, mouthwashes, and dental treatments
(3) Mercury as often found in fish, dental amalgams, and mercury-containing vaccines (There is mercury in H1N1.)
(4) Sugars - High sugar intake suppresses the immune system and feeds bacteria.

Why I Stopped Drinking Milk

All of my life I was taught that "milk - it does a body good". My Mother served me milk each night for supper (yes, I'm from the South). I thought that by drinking milk that I would have strong bones and teeth. Mother also thought that by drinking milk each day along with eating cheese and ice cream that she could prevent osteoporosis. But instead, she got osteoporosis at a fairly young age, and is unable to walk today because of it.
     When we decided to adopt The Hallelujah Diet in 1999, Doug and I went on a quest for the truth. We discovered that countries like Sweden, New Zealand, and the United States which consume lots of dairy products are also the very same countries that have the highest rates of osteoporosis. And that countries which use almost no dairy products like Hong Kong, Singapore, and the Bantu tribes in Africa have much lower rates of hip fractures. We also learned after reading The China Study by Dr. T. Colin Campbell that countries that have high consumption ratios of animal to plant protein also have high rates of hip fractures. We found a host of other scientific studies that showed that plant foods bring the body into a state of alkalinity, thus leading to less calcium loss and stronger bones.   What a revelation to discover that porous bones is primarily caused from the body pulling calcium which is very alkaline, from the bones and teeth in order to neutralize the acid from consuming the Standard American Diet of meats, dairy, desserts, white flour products, and cooked foods!
     Although cow milk does have lots of calcium and protein
it has very little magnesium or phosphorous. There must by a proper ratio of calcium to magnesium and phosphorous in order for your body to absorb the calcium. The significant amount of sodium and protein in cow milk causes the renal excretion of calcium.
     So where do we get our calcium? Primarily from dark green and dark orange fruits and vegetables - foods like broccoli, spinach, kale, collard greens, carrot juice, oranges, sweet potatoes, sesame seeds, and almonds.
     I am so thankful that a diet rich in dark leafy greens, along with weight-bearing exercise and Vitamin D will insure that my bones and teeth are strong and healthy. The best sources for Vitamin D in the winter months is eith B-Flax-D or Vitamin D3.

Vitamin D: The Neglected Nutrient by Olin Idol, C.N.C.

"Vitamin D is required for the absorption and utilization of calcium and phosphorus, with optimal levels of this nutrient increasing calcium absorption by as much as 65% compared to a low "normal" level. It works in harmony with other vitamins, minerals, and hormones to promote strong bones, maintain a healthy immune system, and help regulate cell growth and differentiation (the process that determines what a cell is to become). Moreover, it protects against muscle weakness and helps in the regulation of the heartbeat.
     Upper "normal" levels of Vitamin D are associated with lower risks for osteoporosis, several types of cancer, MS, arthritis, heart disease, and juvenile diabetes. One study determined that Vitamin D-deficient women have a 253% increased risk of colon cancer. Other sudies have found that higher levels of Vitamin D can reduce breast cancer incidence by 30-50%, and men with higher levels of Vitamin D have a 52% reduced incidence of prostate cancer.
     There is a growing chorus from around the world that the RDA is way too low. Many experts say levels between 21-29 nonograms per deciliter are insufficient, and levels less than 21 are deficient.
     When adequate sunshine is not available as in the fall and winter or is not an option, daily supplementation with 2,000 - 5,000 IU daily of a good source of D3 (calciferol) should help maintain adequate Vitamin D levels so that a deficiency does not develop.
     Once Vitamin D is produced in the skin or consumed by way of food or supplemental form, it undergoes conversion in the liver and kidney to form the active hormone calciferol (the active form of Vitamin D). For this reason, anyone with impaired liver or kidney function may find it prudent to have an assessment of his or her Vitamin D level. The best blood test to determine the overall Vitamin D status is the 25 (OH)D, which is also known as 25-hydroxyvitamin D.
     Doug and I take the 5,000 IU Vitamin D3 each day. It also comes in an 1,000 IU form.

Marilyn's Hearty Veggie Chile and Wholegrain Corn Bread

This recipe is a little different from my first Veggie Chili recipe in Hallelujah! Simple Weekly Meal Plans. I hope you will enjoy it!
1 large zucchini, diced
1 butternut squash, peeled & cubed
1/2 cup diced red pepper
1 ear of corn, cut off the cob (or 1 cup organic corn kernels)
1 onion, cut into rings
2 cans organic diced tomatoes (I use my own frozen organic tomotoes from our garden.)
1 can organic tomato paste
1/2 cup disilled water
1/2 teaspoon Frontier Garlic Powder
1 tablespoon Frontier Chili Powder
1 teaspoon Frontier Cumin
1/2 teaspoon Celtic or Eden Sea Salt
1 can organic black beans, drained
     Bring everything except the beans to a boil. Reduce heat and cook on low heat for 1 hour. Add beans during the last 15 minutes.
OPTION: Cook in your crock pot all day.

Every time I have a pot of chili cooking, Doug always asks, "Are we having cornbread with that?"   When we changed the way we ate 10 years ago, I knew I was going to have to come up with a healthier version of cornbread. After many attempts, I think I finally have arrived at a good-tasting, healthier cornbread - Doug is very happy!

CORNBREAD:
1-1/2 cups Hodgson Mill Stone Ground Yellow Corn Meal (This year we grew our own corn. I have several quarts of organic corn kernels which I grind in my NutriMill Grain Mill for wonderful fresh, organic cornmeal.)
1/2 cup whole wheat flour (I grind organic red winter wheat berries in my NutriMIll Grain MIll and store the flour in my freezer.)
1 tablespoon Rumford Baking Powder (no aluminum)
1 teaspoon Celtic or Eden Sea Salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1-1/2 tablespoons B-Flax-D or 1 tablespoon fresh-ground flaxseed
1-1/2 cup almond milk mixed with 1 tablespoon raw, unfiltered apple cider vinegar (Allow this to sit for 5 minutes.)
1/2 cup organic unsweetened applesauce
1 teaspoon raw honey
   Mix the ingredients in order. Stir well. Your batter should be fairly soupy. Spray your pan with olive oil and pour batter into pan. Bake bread at 400 degrees for 25-30 minutes of until golden brown. Serve with chili on a cold, fall night.
