INFECTION
Natural Support Strategies To Combat Infections
Infections are caused by various organisms (bacteria, viruses, yeasts
and other microbes) that establish residence within the body.
Infection can occur in nearly any tissue. While severe infections may
require antibiotics or other drugs, most infections can be relieved by
stimulating the body’s immune system. Viral and other infections are
often self-limited (meaning they will go away on their own), but these
types of infections can be shortened by correct immune stimulation.
Antibiotics are WORTHLESS against viral infections, and the overuse
and misuse of antibiotics has greatly decreased their effectiveness by
causing resistant strains of bacteria.
DIET AND LIFESTYLE RECOMMENDATIONS
- Drink plenty of clear liquids, especially water, herb teas, and
vegetable broths and soups during any infection. Avoid sugars and
fruit juices which suppress immune function.
- If the infection is generalized (such as a cold, flu,
bronchitis), bed rest is preferable.
PRIMARY SUPPORT
ADDITIONAL SUPPORT
For infections of every type:
- Fresh garlic: 1-3 cloves per day, taken as close to raw as
possible. (Add to soups or broths at the very end of cooking to
preserve antimicrobial effects).
- Refer to Immune Enhancing recommendations, page 9 of your
Holistic Health Handbook,
if infections are chronic or recurrent.
- Rule out
food allergies if
infections are chronic or recurrent.
