MY HEALTH INFO & LINKS
I am always asked what I do to supplement my immune system, so here are the protocols that I have in place. Always consult your Health Practitioner or Professional before starting any new supplements or treatments to make sure they are compatible with your current wellness plan.
NOT ALL SUPPLEMENTS ARE CREATED EQUAL
With the help of my Naturopath and my own research, I have found the supplements that I feel are in their most natural and pure form with maximum potency but also in keeping with my beliefs and honour code.
I urge you to find the ones that you feel are most aligned with you but if you need a starting point, I have listed below the ones that I have used in the past or are currently taking. |
SUPPLEMENTS THAT I USE TO SUPPORT MY IMMUNE SYSTEM
CURCUMIN/TURMERIC
FOR MORE INFOTurmeric has been recognized for centuries as a natural healer. It has been known since the era of the Ryukyu Dynasty as a strong antioxidant, and India's ancient medicine (Ayurveda) has used turmeric as an analgesic, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, anti-allergic, and antioxidant for over 6,000 years.
In the one that I use, every ingredient is 100% plant-based, vegetarian-friendly, with absolutely no usage of animal products in any way. It is grown on dedicated farms in Japan and is 100% free of harmful chemicals used in lower-quality, conventional turmeric farming. Turmeric is best absorbed when mixed with a soluble fat such as coconut, flaxseed or olive oil. The capsules I take already have it blended with the necessary oils for maximum absorption.

CURCUMIN VERSUS TUMERIC
Curcumin is a naturally-occurring chemical compound found in the spice turmeric. Turmeric, on the other hand, is the root of a plant which is scientifically known as Curcuma Longa and that's probably where curcumin gets its name from. After the turmeric root is harvested it is cleaned, cured and then dried. Later, the dried root may be sold as it or ground into a fine powder. In India, it is often referred to as Indian saffron, yellow ginger, yellow root or kacha haldi. Just like spinach is rich in iron and lemons are full of Vitamin C, turmeric is a great source of curcumin. A turmeric root typically contains about 2 to 5% of curcumin. Curcumin belongs to a family of chemicals that are known as curcuminoid and which have a bright yellow colour. It is this compounds that lends the distinctive colour to the spice. Curcumin was first identified as a compound back in 1815. Since then, there have been several studies conducted to learn more about its abilities. It is believed that curcumin works on multiple functions and processes at the same time which is why it has been touted to cure everything from pain and inflammation to fighting tumours and promoting brain health. |

TRANSFER FACTOR
Transfer factors are essentially small immune messenger molecules that are produced by all higher organisms. They are an ancient part of the immune system and represent "an archaic dialect in the language of cells. In simple terms they transfer information to the immune system to get back to work. The "Magoo" Syndrome : Compare the human immune system to the cartoon character, Mr. Magoo. Our immune systems do not "see" clearly. Sometimes the immune system attacks the wrong target ,including itself. When it does, we develop allergies or autoimmune diseases and other diseases. Consuming the highly skilled transfer factors is like putting glasses on Mr. Magoo. BOOSTING:Speaking specifically of transfer factors, do they play any role in boosting the innate immune system, as would other immune boosters like beta-carotene, Vitamins A and C etc.Transfer Factors contain inducers that directly boost the innate immune system. Transfer factors also contain a biofeedback mechanism that controls the battle, so that the natural killer cells activity can be decreased as the battle ends. Transfer factors do not use the same pathway of boosting that the other nutrients utilize. Transfer factors contain the actual inducers that are used naturally by the body to boost innate cells. There are many brands out there, I prefer to use Researched Nutritionals. |
MEDICINAL MUSHROOMS
I really love these because they come powder form that you can add to hot chocolate, coffee or soup which makes them easy to take and versatile. Medicinal mushrooms have been long revered in the traditional cultures of the East for their vital essence and health benefits. Documentation of their uses and formulations date back to the original Materia Medica of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). Excitingly, their health properties are even more relevant today and have been the focus of scientific and medical research over the last decades worldwide. Special interest has been directed to the antioxidant, immune-supportive, anti-cancer, anti-tumor, anti-aging, anti-diabetic, anti-viral and restorative effects these special life forms have. Paul Stamets is a speaker, author, mycologist, medical researcher and entrepreneur, is considered an intellectual and industry leader in fungi: habitat, medicinal use, and production. For more information go to his website https://fungi.com/pages/about-us I use an Australian brand called Reishi Foods. Please contact me direct to purchase. |

THE IMPORTANCE
OF YOUR BODY'S pH BALANCE Our bodies live and die at the cellular level. The billions of cells in our body must retain a stable pH and not be too acid or too alkaline, in order to stay healthy. Having a balanced pH us the body's first line of defence against disease. Disease is more prevalent in an acidic body as an acid state causes a lack of oxygenation at the cellular level. When the pH level falls below 7.4 there is less than the maximum oxygen in the blood which makes conditions favourable for inflammation of the body plus the growth of bacteria, yeast, fungus, mould, viruses and other unwanted organisms. Auto-immune disorders, inflammatory conditions and cancer can thrive in an acid environment. You can test your ph level by putting pH paper, which you buy at your local health food store and wetting it with your saliva. Then compare the color the paper turns with the given chart. The optimal pH level is between 7.2-7.4.

HOW TO BALANCE YOUR pH
The first thing I did was to look at the foods that were currently in my diet and compare them to an acid/alkaline food chart that you can google and download. I took a highlighter pen and marked the foods that I ate and was surprised at how many were on the acid side and I thought I was a healthy eater! After consulting with a naturopath, I introduced more alkaline forming foods but fell into trap of being too alkaline which made me quite ill. It highlighted the need of not being too much of one or the other so of course as with all aspects of our health, finding a balance between both acid and alkaline is important. The next thing I did was to start drinking alkaline water.At first I was buying the water which was costly and so discovered a water system and the benefits of that were astonishing!! It filters out nasties such as Chlorine and Fluoride and not only did it deliver the correct pH for my whole house including specific pH for drinking, cooking, washing produce, beauty water for bathing, household cleaning but the hydration factor is better than any other I have used and it seems to help the supplements absorb quicker into my body! Do your research but the one that I found the best and I believe in so much I became a distributor of it! I strongly urge that you invest the next 10 min in your health and check out this video. Please contact me by phone or email direct if you wish to invest in your health and buy one of these systems. |
TBL-12 SEA CUCUMBER
TBL-12 is a natural product made out of marine ingredients, with the main ingredient being bêche-de-mer (sea cucumber). It works by modulating the immune system, which is beneficial for your body and improves your quality of life. In other words, TBL-12 treats the causes by improving the immune system, whereas many other treatments only treat the symptoms. In many cases, this is the reason why diseases tend to reoccur, because the underlying cause has not been addressed.
TBL-12 has been involved in phase II clinical trials at university hospitals in the USA, NYU and Mt Sinai. The trials are on Multiple Myeloma (Bone Cancer) and last year it was granted orphan drug indication with the FDA. It is the first natural product to be approved as a cancer drug for Multiple Myeloma with the FDA.
TBL-12 has no known side effects and works very quickly and effectively. Most people will notice a difference in their well being within a month, and if taken as directed, will help improve their quality of life. TBL-12 is ideal for people that have been diagnosed with cancer or any other immune disease and has been shown to help those at ‘end stage’ when doctors have exhausted all options. See the full story and details about this product at their website.

MISTLETOE Iscador™
Iscador is the trade name of a group of anti-cancer treatments, all prepared from different types of mistletoe extracts. Treatment with Iscador aims at intensifying the body’s own forces against the cancer cell’s tendency towards autonomy. Iscador is a complementary rather than an alternative medicine. It is frequently prescribed in Europe by medical doctors including oncologists in addition to the conventional cancer therapies, radiation, surgery and chemotherapy
Concurrent with chemotherapy and/or radiation, Iscador prevents or reduces toxic side effects, promotes tolerance as well as dispersion of the tumour.
Concurrent with chemotherapy and/or radiation, Iscador prevents or reduces toxic side effects, promotes tolerance as well as dispersion of the tumour.
- Cancer patients treated with Iscador and followed up for a long time with regular laboratory investigations show no toxic symptoms, apart from the desirable rise in body temperature, transient rise in leucocytes and rise in lymphocytes. No harmful side effects have been reported. Even if Iscador is given intensively for many years, there is no depression of the bone marrow, unlike with chemotherapy and radiation.
- Iscador therapy stimulates the form-giving processes and forces in the human organism against the tendency to unregulated proliferation of the cell, which is seen in cancer.
