SARS - WHAT ARE WE DOING IN MY CLINIC?

The recent Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome outbreak has alarmed people all over the world.  The worse type of colds and flus generally come at the end of the winter.  Its my opinion that a lot of this has to do with the over prescription of antibiotics and the fact that the "bugs" mutate to become stronger and less susceptible to the drugs. 

The people at greatest risk are infants, the chronically ill and the elderly.  Aging makes one more likely to become infected.  As we get older, our immune systems have been bombarded by that much more free radicals, pollutants, virus and bacteria, etc. Studies continue to show that the best defense against this is a high anti-oxidant intake, both from food and supplementation.  Foods would include in particular, berries, the darker the better, fruit and vegetables.  My choice of anti-oxidants are:

GSH Complex

Network Synergy

 

FURTHER STRENGTHENING OF THE IMMUNE SYSTEM - ANTI-VIRALS AND ANTI-BACTERIALS:

On top of a diet rich in organic fruit and vegetables, organic dairy (if you can eat it) and meat if that is your choice, one must include adequate sleep and exercise.  Alas, even with this plan our immune systems struggle as mentioned above and so in my opinion, its wise to include "immune boosters" and viral/bacterial defense. In cases of various pneumonias the white blood count often lowers, which is another sign to compensate for. 

The following are the support items of choice when we encounter extreme flu conditions:

LifeSource SuperSprouts:  This incredible "green" powder provides an excellent base for anyone's immune system.  On resonance studies it was found to oscillate at the same frequence as human DNA or 121 MHz.  All other "green" foods' frequencies were at best around 70-80 MHz.  This leads me to believe that the food would correlate best with our DNA,which is attacked by virus and bacteria, to optimize its absorption and utilization by our cells.

  Olive Leaf Extract: The olive leaf (Olea europea) has been widely used by the Greeks and Romans since antiquity. In the early 1990s olive leaf extract was introduced as dietary supplement for its antiviral and antibacterial activities. Oleuropein, a bitter glucoside found in highest concentrations in the leaves, has been well researched:


Antimicrobial Activity:


1.) Antibacterial. Oleuropein has been shown to inhibit growth and the production of enterotoxin B by Staphylococcus. Oleuropein also inhibits the growth of Bacillus cereus, E. coli, pseudomar, Bacillus subtilis, etc.
2.) Antiviral. Olive leaf extract (calcium elenolate) eliminates the viruses by interferingwith certain amino acid production processes. The interference stops the virus from shedding, budding, or assembling at the cell membrane. Laboratory tests suggest that the compound has the ability to penetrate infected host cells and irreversibly inhibit viral replication. Oleuropein possesses antiviral activity against a number of viruses including parainfluenza 3, herpes, influenza A, polio 1,2, and 3, etc.

Oregano Oil: True oil of oregano offers many exciting remedies to a variety of ailments. In Herbal Renaissance, Steven Foster credits oregano as having "been employed to treat indigestion, diarrhea, nervous tension, insect bites, toothache, earache rheumatism, and coughs due to whooping cough and bronchitis (primarily for it's antispasmodic effects)." SARS is known to have cough/lung symptoms and hence I love using Oregano Oil.  We use a very strong, organic one made by St. Francis Herbs, here in Canada.

In addition to fighting various fungi, oil of oregano is useful against bacteria and parasites. As Dr. Cass Ingram DO, asserts, "oil of oregano's antiseptic powers are immense...it inhibits the growth of the majority of bacteria, something that prescription antibiotics fail to accomplish." In the case of parasites, oil of oregano has had success neutralizing worms, amoeba and protozoans.

Beta Glucans: Known for its ability to keep white blood cell count up and boost the immune system, this is a very valuable adjunct in SARS.  For more information Click Here

HOMEOPATHIC SUPPORT:

I have made a table of the most useful remedies to have in your house should SARS or any other flu strike:

BELLADONNA	Symptoms of Belladonna
GELSEMIUM	Symptoms of Gelsemium
BRYONIA	Symptoms of Bryonia
VERATRUM VIRIDE	Symptoms of Veratrum Virde
CALCAREA CARBONICA	Symptoms of Calcarea Carb
BAPTISTA	Symptoms of Baptista

 

I tend to have people dose a 30 CH remedy 4-6X per day.  If you are familiar with homeopathics you can use 200 once per day or every second day..remember to watch the person and change remedies if the patient does.
