JourneyToHealth,
I love the name you picked for yourself. Your name describes exactly my path over the past 8 years.
My health was wrecked & I was severely sick every winter. I caught everything that was going around. I had been sickly for DECADES! Not any more.
I have learned one major rule in dealing with health problems:
==========================
1) DO NOT TREAT THE SYMPTOMS!
2) DO TREAT THE CAUSE OF THE SYMPTOMS.
==========================
Here is example # 1
====================
Look at this Symptom list-there are over 100 diseases & symptoms all caused by a single nutritional deficiency.

Would you rather cure the deficiency? Or would you rather treat all 100 symptoms?
Example #2
========================
Just look at all of the diseases resulting from another very common deficiency:

Same question: Treat the Symptoms or cure the cause of all these diseases?
What do these 2 deficiencies have in common?
**** THEY CRASH THE IMMUNE SYSTEM!
THAT is why the list of diseases are so extensive.
BOTTOM LINE HERE
=================
Forget about the symptoms and treat your immune system FIRST.
How do you fix your immune system?
=======================
1) Chart your body temp. A low body temp is the breeding ground for Candida! Your metabolism requires a healthy thyroid, and your thyroid requires iodine supplementation. So does every cell in your body. Every cell in our body requires iodine to fight off & kill FUNGUS! If we don't take a LOT of iodine, the toxins of fluoride, bromide & chlorine displace iodine in our cells, thereby crippling our immune system.

2) There are 2 world wide deficiency epidemics. Iodine & Vitamin D3. Both result in a crashed immune system! Our immune system cannot function properly without iodine & D3. Very simple. That is why their deficiency disease lists are so extensive.
3) Is your BODY Acidic or Normal?
Measure your urine pH. Your urine should be normal in the range of 6.5 to 7.2. If you measure 4,x or 5.x then you are a BREEDING GROUND for disease. A low pH crashes the immune system.
4) Do you get at least 15 minutes or more exercise daily? If not, your body's sewer system is backing up and impacting your health. You have as much liquid in your sewer system as you have blood, and you REQUIRE exercise to pump it out of your body. Study your Lymphatic System.
5) Diet is VITAL.
It is important to eat a GOOD Paleo Diet with lots of multicolored veggies, fish, meats, natural fats, fruits & nuts. It is just as important to NOT poison yourself:

Your immune system cannot function properly without good nutrition. Good nutrition actually cures autoimmune diseases such as MS, Lupus, & more. See my research files for more on this:

So bottom line. I ask if you are spinning your wheels & wasting money by treating symptoms or are you going after the CAUSE of your crashed immune system.
Remember this: JOB #1 is to cure your immune system, and then all of the symptoms will fade away on their own, as God intended.
