First rule of the C-word.
How to talk about the C word without saying the C word. That is the question.
Now I am in no way a doctor, which may be to my advantage right now. I am in no way giving anyone medical advice. I do know that I am more likely to trust people I know who are healthy and heal their bodies naturally than I would trust advice of someone pushing prescriptions or who takes a million prescriptions. So makes your own choices for your own health.
With that being said, here’s what I know.
!!!!!! Update post having for real Rona!!!!!!!! ****
Back story:
November 2019-I went down. I do not normally get sick other than I used to get sinus infections every Fall. That was before I learned what I know now to prevent them, but some of the info will be in this later. I was only down for 2 days though. Body aches, minor body chills, and once when walking from the couch to the kitchen did I notice not being able to taste. I remember thinking “bummer I won’t be able to taste anything for Thanksgiving if this doesn’t clear up”, but that was literally the only time I noticed not being able to taste. With our busy schedules I knew I did not have time for being sick forever so I pumped myself full of all kinds of homeopathic stuff, and after two days it was back to normal.
A week or so later-my 15 year old son went down. The school actually called me to say he had a fever of 102. This kid never gets sick! Seasonal allergies get him, but I could not tell you the last time he had a fever so 102 was a big deal. I pick him up from school and he sits down in my truck, closes his eyes, and is crying. I asked him what was going on, what was he feeling. Through tears he told me “mom my head hurts so bad and I just couldn’t take it anymore”. I took him home and started pumping him full of everything I had taken but he was farther into it than when I caught myself started to fall ill. He was on the couch for over a week. After 4 days and the fever going away but then came back, we took him in to urgent care. They guessed it was maybe a sinus infection, gave us some antibiotics, and eventually he recovered. He lost his appetite too and after a week or so not eating much and laying on the couch, he definitely lost some weight.
There are two other members of my household too. The red heads did not catch whatever we had. Totally wish I was a redhead for this one! lol
Now maybe you are a skeptic. Honestly I hope you are! Don’t just take information ever with out questioning it! Clearly that is an issue everywhere. I have always and will always say to look up your own information and find articles that are pro and con for what ever you are trying to learn about, because the real info/truth falls somewhere in the middle. I am just telling you my experience. Take it or leave it.
So the c-word has been know to be in existence since September of 2019. Again, look around. It could have been around before that honestly I don’t think we will ever know the truth on that. October of 2019 I was in Boston. From California to Boston, on packed flights, in the beginning of cold and flu season. People from all over the world traveling through airports and the city. November 2019 my house had some funk. I am no rocket scientist, but I can put 2 and 2 together.
May 2021- This puts us about 18 months past the funk. Which there are studies saying that’s how long immunity may last. Again, go look it up. So 18 months later, my son and I both had a random scratchy throat for a day. Just one day and nothing else. Now sometimes I wake up with a scratchy throat if I slept with my mouth open. My son was having seasonal allergy issues because of it being spring. I put him and I on all the remedies again, which we also were just taking for health reasons, but now back to full dose. He went to volleyball practice and came home like everything was normal. Now I am the mom who won’t let my kids go anywhere when they have a fever or throw up or any of that. I actually have always followed the rule of not sending them back to school until the were 24 hours symptom free. From my experience in the school system and elsewhere at family functions, I am one of the few that actually follow this rule. Scratchy throat from allergies is a normal thing around here. Well, the only time anyone in my house has taken the spit test was my son that day to be able to get clearance for the upcoming tournament. Let’s just say we didn’t make it. So round two was a scratchy throat for one day that never turned in to anything else. For me or for him. Natural immunity for the win.
And once again, the redheads had nothing!
Now I could go on and on with stories but you probably have some of your own. So the real reason for all of this is to give you insight on the remedies I have spend countless hours researching so that you can get your immune system functioning its best and know what options there are for fighting illness. Health is your wealth and as one of my favorite doctors Dr. Bradley Campbell says, “Immune systems end pandemics”.
THE STUFF
Nose spray, mouth rinse
First line of defense is to keep airborne particles from sticking in your airways so nasal rinse daily and then mouthwash too to kill stuff before it can grow. From the research out there it is said that rinsing the nose pushes things down to the stomach where stomach acids then kill it. (Clearly I am speaking in generic terms to not get flagged.) Search that up and you will find the info if it hasn’t been censored yet. Ion Biome Nasal Spray is purified water and humic acid, and my go to choice.
Colloidal Silver
So many great brands for this one and so many ways to use it. I drink it in liquid form. Colloidal Silver has a variety of uses due to its antibiotic properties. Studies show it can help combat fungus in the body, is helpful at killing disease and v’s (you know the code word), improves the immune system’s ability to fight against v’s, can help sooth burns and repair skin and tissue damage. If you go straight online to google it the first few items in the search are all negative reviews. Use Duckduckgo as your search engine. Google is censoring all kinds of stuff right now, including ways to help with natural immunity.
*Probiotics
Good bacteria! Yes your body is full of good and bad bacteria and the good should out number the bad. The bacteria in our gut and elsewhere in the body outnumber our own cells 10-1. These bacteria make up our microbiome and, our microbiome is a crucial factor in our immune system. According to Dr. Josh Axe, the 7 top killers of our good bacteria are: prescription drugs, excessive sugar intake, drinking tap water full of chlorine and flouride, GMO foods, eating too many whole grains, emotional stress, and exposure to toxins and pesticides.
Daily we are exposed to things killing our good bacteria. The good news is that you can replenish them! They are vital for a healthy immune system. 80% of your immune system is in your gut so having your gut in optimal condition is necessary for fighting off disease.
*Sleep
“Yes, lack of sleep can affect your immune system. Studies show that people who don't get quality sleep or enough sleep are more likely to get sick after being exposed to a virus, such as a common cold virus. Lack of sleep can also affect how fast you recover if you do get sick.” Sleep Info
7-9 hours of sleep, depending on what source you find, but that is how much sleep the average adult should be getting. Children, teens, and elderly populations have different amounts so go search those out if that is who you are getting this info for. You notice how much people sleep when they are really sick? It is no coincidence because your body does it’s magic healing then.
If you have a hard time getting quality sleep there are numerous things to try.
-make sure the room is dark, or use a sleep mask
-go to bed and get up and the same times
-have a cool temperature set, overheating will disrupt sleep
-avoid caffeine late in the day, as well as excessive alcohol before bed
When all else fails to help, sleep spray or magnesium are my go to deep sleep helpers.
*Elderberry
Talk about a power fruit! Elderberries are high in vitamins A, B, C, and potassium. They enhance the immune function by boosting the production of cytokines. They have anti-viral and anti-inflammatory benefits and can be used to help treat colds and the flu. (Which I think still exists, lol).
Combine that with the power of blueberry, pomegranate, acai, alma, vitamin C, Zinc and selenium, and now we are talking! My favorite healthy shot contains that mix but any form of elderberry is fantastic.
You can find all of these three: *probiotics, sleep spray, and elderberry mix options just about anywhere and I recommend searching around to find your favorites. If you hate doing all the searching though just click that link to get your hands on the ones I use.
**SHOP HERE FOR THESE 3: Immunity Support
Quercetin
“Quercetin is a natural antihistamine and anti-inflammatory plant pigment that boosts your immune system and may work to control viral replication, according to some research. It allows zinc to exert its proven antiviral properties; in treating (ya know), quercetin may also lower inflammation, help clear mucus, prevent ventilator-induced damage and support immunity.” Dr. Zelenko
This Doctor is fantastic and watching numerous videos of his I started using quercetin. Click the link for a more detailed breakdown then also go search out some of his videos so you can see for yourself exactly what he is talking about. Dr. Z's Info
The one I use can be found on Amazon: Mt. Angel Vitamins, Quercetin Zinc
Magnesium
There is so much information on Magnesium that I could talk for days on it! The overview is that we are deficient in magnesium to due to low levels in soil from modern farming stripping it from the soil. We are increasingly stressed out and stress causes increase in our cortisol and the production of cortisol uses high levels of magnesium. We eat more sugar than ever and 1 molecule of sugar needs 54 molecules of magnesium to process. Things like birth control, antibiotics, cortisone, predinsone, blood pressure meds, caffeine and flouride all deplete out levels of magnesium as well.
Sign of magnesium deficiency may include:
constipation
high blood pressure
anxiety
depression
insomnia
tendonitis
ADHD
brain fog
impaired memory
fatigue
siezures
sleep disturbances
pain
muscle cramps
chronic back pain
headaches/migraines
anger
tension
Be your own health advocate. Go look this up if you need more info. If you are ready to jump in and just add extra magnesium into your diet search for foods high in magnesium or go order this one: Magnesium
Fulvic Acid
This one, ok just click the link to read because there is a lot of phenomenal info that Dr. Axe states better than I could. Better yet look up and Fulvic & Humic Acid supplement and see what all the combo can do. Other great news with this one is that it is being used to help treat long term C word effects. Also it is being used to remove junk if you got the poke. Please go look into this one more on your own! Fulvic Acid
Turmeric Curcumin
Last but most certainly not least, there is turmeric! This one has all kinds of healing powers and unless some contraindication tells you otherwise, you should get this in your life.
Here’s 10 pieces of info:
Turmeric contains bioactive compounds with medicinal properties
Curcumin is a natural anti-inflammatory compound
Turmeric can increase the antioxidant capacity of the body
Curcumin can boost brain-derived neurotrophic factor
Curcumin may lower your risk of heart disease
Turmeric may help prevent cancer
Curcumin may be useful in treating Alzheimer’s disease
Arthritis patients respond well to curcumin supplements
Curcumin has benefits against depression
Curcumin may help delay aging and fight age-related chronic diseases

In Conclusion
Remember friends, I am not giving medical advice. Some natural remedies can mess with prescription drugs so make sure to look up negative effects of anything natural as well. I know there are many of you out there that are just like me and will do anything and everything to heal our bodies naturally by looking for the root cause of illness and not just run to the pharmacy for a pill to pop that will only mask the symptoms and potentially lead to another issue.
You know your body better than anybody else, regardless of how many fancy papers someone has hanging on their wall. Find natural healers. Find listeners. Find nature. Go back to basics and heal your gut. Heal from internal inflammation. You can prevent and reverse illness. There are people who can show you how.
If you are ready but don’t know where to start, let me be your guide.
******UPDATE!!!!
For reals positive test Rona November 2022. Yes for reals it got me. Ha!
Yes, I did all of the things above plus a few other and I made it out just fine and now have real natural immunity. Yes that is still a concept in this world.
The other things I highly recommend are getting your hands on Ivermectin NOW! Like right now. You do not want to try and find it later when it is too late. Plus it is known to also be a preventative treatment to stop things before they even start.
Cheapest way to get it without having to talk to a doctor is through www.alldaychemist.com. meds They will ask for payment through a bank account but it is legit and I have ordered multiple times from this site. You can also get hydroxychloroquine from that site too. It also takes 2-4 weeks to get to you so that is why you should just go order it now so you have it on hand. Turns out Ivermectin works on many viruses and also is shown to be beneficial at treating certain types of cancer. Don’t believe me? Go look it up. There’s so much info out there that we do not hear about because it is cheap and actually works.
Other thing that was a life saver was getting IV therapy. If you are local to my area Osmosis Lounge in the 209 has a Covid protocol. IV fluids with specific healing aids in the mix (ask for the Myers Cocktail), and the salt room for respiratory healing. I went twice during my downtime and it was so powerful mentally and physically to sit in the relaxing salt room while getting the IV fluids.
So long story long, if you get sick your body is amazing and when given the right stuff it will heal!
Be patient and rest and pump yourself full of all the right stuff and visualize healing at the cellular level.
And get your hands on all of this stuff so that your body has what it needs to heal.
