Boosting Immunity in Children and Adults
Hello Everyone,
We are in the middle of winter and the flu epidemic this year has been a huge concern across the country. Concern builds in parents during this time of year because they know when their children are in school they are exposed to more types of bacteria and viruses. In this newsletter I would like to review what you can do to keep yourself, your children, and loved ones healthy and ways to prevent the flu.
Boosting Immunity in Children
During the summer, children are playing outside in fresh air and sunshine. When they are in school, they are indoors throughout the day and also around lots of other children and are more easily exposed to viruses and bacteria. Here are a few ways to help your child stay healthy throughout the school year.
1. Teach them to wash their hands well after using the restroom, after playing outdoors in the dirt, after playing with pets, and before eating. Germs carried on the hands can be carried into the body through the mouth. If the immune system is weak, the child can become ill.
2. Children should bathe and wear clean clothes daily. Our bodies and our clothes can carry bacteria.
3. Children should take healthy snacks to school that would boost the immune system such as raw fruits and vegetables that have been washed well, a trail mix of raw nuts and raisins, raw almonds, or almond butter on celery sticks or whole grain crackers.
4. Encourage children to eat healthy meals at home and take healthy lunches with them to school. Lunches could include a thermos of vegetable soup and some whole grain crackers, or a sandwich made from whole grain bread with healthy mayonnaise, romaine lettuce, tomato slices, turkey, chicken, or tuna. Send along some carrot strips, raw broccoli, celery sticks, and raw cauliflower with the sandwich. Another great lunch would be a nice salad made with romaine lettuce, lots of veggies, and a chopped boiled egg (fertile, organic are best). Sprinkle some raw sunflower seeds on the salad.
5. A specific supplement that can help build your child's immune system is Vitamin C. Vitamin C helps to boost the immune system. It helps to protect the body from colds, flu, and even stomach viruses. Vitamin C can help to prevent allergies. Children can begin chewing a chewable Vitamin C as young as two years of age. Teenagers and adults should take a good vitamin C that contains 1,000 mg. of C as well as bioflavonoids. Bioflavonoids strengthen all of the tissues in the body and prevent acne, varicose veins, and hemorrhoids. Smokers should take 2,000 I.U. per day because smoking drains the body of vitamin C and weakens the lungs and tissues. I recommend the Chewable C by Bernard Jensen for kids and the Linus Pauling Vitamin C for teenagers and adults. We carry the Linus Pauling Vitamin C because Linus Pauling worked to improve his health with vitamin C when he had cancer. Thus he did major research on the benefits of Vitamin C and boosting immunity.
6. Another great supplement that boosts immunity is Vitamin D-3. In the summer sun, children receive lots of sunlight that provides vitamin D-3. Experts recommend that children should receive 1,000 I.U.'s per day and adults should receive 5,000 I.U. per day.
7. For children two years of age and older, I recommend a good multi-vitamin with immune enhancers such as the delicious Liquid multi of 4 Total Nutrition - 1 teaspoon in the morning. For minerals, I recommend 1 teaspoon Liquid Coral Calcium plus trace minerals with zinc at night. Cells need minerals in order to kick out toxins. Zinc helps fight infection. Growing children need minerals in order to grow strong bones and teeth. These are very easily absorbed. If children prefer to have a chewable multi, I recommend our Children's Berry Delicious Chewable.
8. Babies should be nursing and moms should be taking these nutrients that will pass into the milk. Breast milk is fortified with immune boosters, especially if the mother is eating healthfully and taking good supplements.
9. Pro-biotics or friendly bacteria are most important to keep the immune system strong. Most people do not realize that 80% of our immune system is in the intestinal tract. Friendly bacteria are the fogotten soldiers that fight bad bacteria in the gut. Preolac is a pro-biotic that I developed specifically for its unique immune boosting qualities. Preolac can be broken open into almond milk or coconut milk. Preolac has powerful immune builders, prevents stomach aches, helps digestion, and improves bowel movements. One capsule stirred in water or almond milk in the evening is most helpful for children and two at night for adults.
10. Finally for kids and adults, I recommend my Sun Cleanse. Sun Cleanse contains organic whole foods that nourish the body and immune system on a very deep level. Sun Chlorella, Hawaiian Spirulina, Barley Grass, Alfalfa, and Beet nourish the entire body especially the liver and blood. They are super foods that provide energy and help the mind to think more clearly. Spirulina contains DHA, a special oil that nourishes the brain. Sun Cleanse also contains Parsley, which supports the urinary tract system. Acerola, rose hips, and orange peel are an excellent absorbable form of vitamin C and bioflavonoids - powerful immune boosters! And finally, I included Dulse from the cold waters of Nova Scotia. Dulse is naturally high in minerals and iodine that supports the thyroid and thymus. These master glands work together in harmony to assist metabolism and immunity. Children may take 1, 2x per day. These are vegetarian capsules, so break them open into smoothies. For adults, I recommend 2, 2x per day with breakfast and dinner. Sun Cleanse is a whole food that is also excellent for children and adults who do not eat their fruits and vegetables! I also find it wonderful, especially when I am travelling and not always able to get the variety of organic foods I eat at home. Sun Cleanse is loaded with vitamins, minerals, chlorophyll, and digestive enzymes.
Remedies That Help During Times of Illness:
There are many remedies that have proven effective in helping children time and time again when they get sick with colds or flu. I write about these in my book, Health is Your Birthright, How to Create the Health You Deserve.
1/2 dropper of Echinacea in water or juice, 3x during the day
Preolac, 1 capsule broken open, 3x per day in water, applesauce or juice.
Peppermint oil, mix with olive oil or safflower oil and rub on chest and feet. This will open up lung passage ways and allow mucus to come out.
Bake onions and put them in a diaper. Lay warm on the chest. You may heat it up several times and reuse, then discard. Place baked onions in cloths and tie around feet that have the oil on them. This pulls out the poisons.
A little peppermint and or eucalyptus oil can be used just under the nose to open up the breathing passages. Put in vaporizer to keep your child breathing well through the night. Add a few drops of silver to the vaporizer water as well.
Elderberry liquid and elderberry cough syrup are excellent for healing pneumonia and lung congestion.
Mullein Tea pulls mucus out of the lungs and strengthens them (can be added to some other type of drink or to soups and they?ll never know it?s there)
Raw Apple Cider vinegar or fresh squeezed lemon in warm water with raw organic honey pulls mucus out and kills germs.
Raw Apple Cider vinegar, 1 TBS in water can be gargled to get rid of sore throat.
The best throat lozenges are zinc lozenges. Zinc really fights bacteria and is in the liquid multi vitamin and liquid coral calcium.
There are also Black Cherry or Elderberry cough syrups available that are helpful.
Make them poop! Mix 1 capsule of Preolac and 1 teaspoon of plain chlorophyll in warm water and place in a syringe. Insert rectally. This will pull out infection and mucus and help to break a fever.
Pour a tablespoon of regular peroxide in a 6 oz. spray bottle and fill with purified water. Spray the atmosphere when anyone comes home who has been around illness.
A mixture of Garlic and Mullein oil can also be used as eardrops and has been a great help for decades in fighting ear infections. One to two drops may be inserted in each ear.
For sinus congestion, mix 1/2 dropper of colloidal silver with 2 oz. warm water and a pinch of sea salt and put in a dropper bottle. Makes great nose drops. A person will blow all kinds of mucus out of the nose right after using it.
We at Bernard Jensen International would like to thank all of our students, clients and customers for your loyalty throughout the years. We strive to bring you excellent, educational books and DVD's so that you may stay abreast of the best information on nutrition, natural healing, and iridology. We also strive to provide the highest quality in nutritional health care supplements.
Remember to have fun! Think STRONG, live STRONG and teach this to your children by word and example. Positive words spoken to children or to anyone helps to strengthen immunity. Praising, loving words are very powerful. (Studies have shown that people feel weak and are truly weakened when criticized.)
We wish for you and your families a very safe, happy, and healthy school year!
Yours in Great Health!
