HI U OLE PATOOTS, ORH here, got a different kind of story to tell you. Are ya'll familiar with ramps? Garlic is not in the running. Eat them and forget about distancing because in years past the teacher sent the student home that ate them. They stunk up the whole class room. I had never heard of them until we moved to East Tenn. Poor folks ate them to survive. Now the East Tn communities have a festival serving them to remember the hard times. I have never been to one, but am going this spring in my twilight time. And guess what, they are healthy veggies.

Rebounding to Activate Immune System

Cindy (Illinois, USA) on 01/31/2021
5 out of 5 stars

Every post I see just makes me want to say "rebounding" or "cellercising" or whatever.

We have two circulatory systems, both VITAL. One for blood - for oxygen and nutrients - and one for lymph - the source of white blood cells and the VITAL flushing of debris of the immune system and it's so incredible that no one talks about the lymphatic system because its PUMP is the application of gravity in the very motion of life. How could I not have known these things in this context about the lymph system when I've been exploring ALTERNATIVE medicine for nearly 50 years?

We've all heard of the lymphatic system but how can so many people with such an interest not have grasped the "gravity" of it?

I don't understand it but whatever problem you have, my response is going to be "Bounce! ". Bounce on the edge of your bed or a yoga ball while hanging onto something to keep safe if you have to. If you can't sit up, have someone bounce you ON your bed but BOUNCE! Make white blood cells! Blush out the debris and the toxins!! And drink water. Set the timer on your phone to go off every two hours and no matter what you're doing, stop and drink 8 ounces of water when it goes off so the lymphatic system has the water it needs to flush you out.

"Jump start" your immune system and keep it active and running. Don't batter your nervous system, bones and joints by applying the in-the-wild "motion of life" of running or doing exercises on hard surfaces. It isn't necessary and does more damage than good. Bounce. Just bounce. Lightly - until you build up your muscles, ligaments, tendons and bones - painlessly and safely and a LOT. Or have someone bounce you if necessary but BOUNCE. Whatever else you do, make sure bouncing is a part of it.

Two weeks ago I thought I was just barely up to living on my own, safely. I had covid back last spring and still hadn't gotten my strength back after 8 or 9 months. If I had broken my foot AFTER I had covid instead of BEFORE, it would have been all over. I would probably be living with my daughter or in a nursing home so as not to drive her nuts. I was one stumble from assisted living. Not sick, just too weak to even sit on the floor without it taking me several tries and way too much time to get back up.

I have a "Cellerciser" on the way because my old rebounder, despite being a high-end model from the past, doesn't have the mat support I need to safely bounce my feet off the mat which I keep having the urge to do since I have my strength back to increase the effect.

I've regained all the strength covid took and then some. I'm solid as a rock on my feet. and I'll be rebounding for the rest of my life and living on my own for many years to come because of it.

That's it. If you're sick, bounce. If you're weak, bounce. Drink your water and bounce on the edge of your bed and get things shifting. Get your lymph circulating and making white blood cells and "taking out the trash. It's your life support system. Turn it on and keep it running. Watch some Dave Hall videos. Yes, he sells a rebounder of his own design but he's the best source of information regarding why you should bounce. Everyone else just repeats it while adding their own, unique "ideas", much of which is misinformation and contradictory to the mix.

Hall's is literally doing the research and conveying the information very well. He sort of looks and sounds like a huckster and that's because he's the very sort of man that frauds and con men IMITATE but he knows the science and is working with doctors to explore and discover the effects. He's literally saving lives and keeping people from having to go to nursing homes. Namely, me.

Astragalus Root for Immune System and Wasp Stings

Mama To Many (Tnm) on 11/08/2017
5 out of 5 stars

I have been giving my 19 year old son astragalus root capsules daily for a couple of months. He started college (a whole new set of germs to contend with), he had to get a bunch of vaccines (because he is studying to be an EMT), and it is cold and flu season and he doesn't have time to be sick.

So far so good. He has been quite healthy and seems to be avoiding sickness though he is often around it. But I will give further observations in a few more months. (I decided on astragalus root because it seemed to keep one of my small children well though the whole family was sick a few years ago. I had been giving it to him regularly to prevent lyme disease after a nasty tick bite. He didn't get Lyme disease or anything else that fall! )

Of interest is that he was stung by a wasp yesterday. Normally he reacts pretty badly to them. However, after the initial sting, he had very little reaction.

I suspect the astragalus root has been helpful to his immune system.

Of course, it won't do to take astragalus root once there is a sting. It is something to use more as a preventative.

My son is a big guy. I give him 2 capsules once or twice a day. (Basically, whenever I cross paths with him I hand him 2 capsules of astragalus! )

L-Glutamine Fantastic Immune System Booster, Also Increases Muscle Mass

Kenneth Paul (Santa Fe City Tejas State) on 07/30/2016
5 out of 5 stars

Immune system booster, muscle mass increase, 45 min. results. The empirical data out there speaks of your mid gut bacteria encompassing up to 70% of your immune system. L-glutamine amino acid helps mid gut bacteria reproduce and increases the immune response by increasing the sheer volume of the bacteria.

Some of you with chronic broad spectrum antibiotic use have helped destroy your most potent ally in immune system response. The lowly mid gut bacteria..L-glutamine helps create a favorable environment for mid gut bacteria to flourish.

The response to first dose was incredible for me, as within 45 min I was sneezing and blowing snot (chronic allergic rhinitis). As an added bonus I started to gain muscle mass from normal work routine. No body building at all.

I take.1/4 tsp powder 1x day directly in mouth and allow it to mix with saliva and swallow. but you can add to water drink or shake. My impression is its tasteless. Some high end grocery stores (heb market) or online stores or body building storefront will have l-glutamine powder in 2.2 pound containers. This 2.2 pound container has lasted me over a year. Works well with acidophilus lactobacilli and probiotics for bacterial gut imbalance and Magnesium Ascorbate for a full spectrum immune response. I enjoy the benefit of l-glutamine, May it be you will also.

Quercetin Prevents Colds and Heals Chest Congestion

Tom (Livingston, Tx) on 05/22/2016
5 out of 5 stars

I noticed that I didn't catch a chest cold as I usually would have this winter.

Then I realized it was because I had taken 650 mg quercetin dihydrate daily. Quercetin also gives me energy.

My current capsule has only 250 mg and that might even be enough. Most quercetin products come with bromelain.

A person had really bad chest congestion and they started taking a Quercetin 250 mg tablet that had Ester-C and Bromelain daily and three weeks later their congestion is apparently gone.

For a year or two or more I would try quercetin for any lung or sinus problem like asthma, emphysema, COPD, pneumonia, bronchitis, sinusitis, etc.

The best value of quercetin that I know of is a 400 mg quercetin per capsule dose made by a major brand. It's actually listed as 800 mg quercetin with bromelain but that is for 2 capsules.

Micronized Beta Glucan and Moducare

Prioris (Fl., US) on 03/26/2015

I haven't personally tried the micronized beta glucan but I ran across it in my research for immune products.

The regular high dose beta glucan has been tounted for the immune system but research has shown it is mostly useless since it doesn't absorb into the body.  The form of beta glucan is more important that the quantity. Ideal size should be around 1 micron or less. There are many positive anecdotal reports on it.

There is a product called Moducare that has a lot of research behind it. I have personally tried it and can feel the effect.

It is a low dose product with a 20 to 1 ratio of sterols to sterolin. It's mode of action is balancing the immune system so if you immune is over active, it will lower it and if under active, it will raise it.

Weak Immune System Boosters

Rebel (Usa) on 09/24/2014

Hello EC family. I am looking to rebuild my immune system. I believe I will need to start this by getting my liver, colon and kidneys functioning properly.

My problem is the amount of time in the day, I have to take my main herbs and vitamins. Feel free to let me know of anything more important than my current list.

  1. lemon juice and 1/4 tsp baking soda / pinch of borax twice daily. (ph)
  2. natural laxative once daily (colon)
  3. Asparagus extract once daily (kidneys)
  4. milk thistle 100mg, dandelion root 1040mg, and essiac tea twice daily (liver)
  5. Olive leaf extract, Niacinamide at 1000mg twice daily ( kill off super bugs and viruses )
  6. Oil of Oregano 3000mg twice daily ( fungus )
  7. Bromelain 1000mg twice daily ( for Enzymes )
  8. Resveratrol 100mg twice daily ( anti oxidant )
  9. Probiotic 55Billion once daily ( rebuild good gut flora )
  10. MSN 1800mg and Vitamin C crystals 5000mg twice daily ( dissolve calcium shells and build up immune system )
  11. Chinese Chlorella 1000mg 3 times daily ( remove heavy metals )

The problem I have is spacing this out and being able to take at proper times. It is very hard to fit all this in. I also have to be sure not to take the probiotic of vitamin c to close to the baking soda and borax. The Essiac tea also has to be taken on an empty stomach.

I also try to oil pull first thing in morning and brush teeth with Ivory soap and one drop of clove oil. I add coconut oil to cooked foods as well.

Does anyone know of any other conflicts on taking the above other than what I have mentioned. Is there any I should not mix together is what I am asking.

My plans are to:

Oil pull/brush teeth first

Take Essiac tea wait 20 minutes then take dandelion and milk thistle. Eat.

After that I am not sure how to fit the rest into my day.

Re: Friend With Weak Immunity

Robert Henry (Ten Mile , Tn) on 02/02/2014

HI U GOOD PEOPLE DOIN, My friend told the medical folks at Erlanger Hospital in Chattanooga that he is not leaving until they find out what was wrong with him. Sounds good, but that will never happen when your problem is one that they do not recognize. Parasites is a zero for our traditional medical folks. They don't know how to treat it and don't know whether to sheet or go blind.

I have given up on my friend as he will only listen to Allopathic doctors. What all you trashy folks need to understand on EC is that you are smarter n normal folks. You will listen. That is a backhanded compliment if you have never encounter one of those.

Robert Henry's Friend With Weak Immune System

Robert Henry (Ten Mile , Tn) on 01/29/2014

HI U GOOD PEOPLE , , , , , , , , , , , , , This is a perplexing story, but one that may help some folks. I have a friend who is a hulk of a man at 62 who does hard physical labor and works out at a gym almost daily. I year ago his health started failing and he gave up his bush hogging and ended up desperate. He has gone to 13 doctors and finally found a doctor in Chattanooga who said his problem was H Pylori and Systemic Candida. This doctor also told him that he sees about 3 people a year who have this condition but none a bad and his.

Last week we visited and I reviewed his $10,000 lab work. AYSM? Yep, he is consumed with H Pylori and Candida and his immune system is flat lined, zero. The doctor had him on an Anti-boitic but no Probiotic. AYSM?

I loaned him my parasite Zapper and gave him a 20 Billion Proboitic along with ACV and a Pysillium fiber shake to take daily to remove any die off. Left him with GSE, Borax, organic coffee for enema's and things for mineral baths. Told him to do only one natural anti-fungal at a time. Also explained to him that he had to go slow and only kill off pathogens as he could remove them with the fiber shake. He agreed that the he needs to cease the Anti-biotic, which had killed his good gut flora and his immune system.

It appears he is far worse off than I thought. 4 days later he came down with Herxhimer's reaction and is now sick as a dog. I talked to him today and told him to shut down all my stuff except the probiotics. Now I am convinced that I cannot help him in his state and he must see my integrative doctor if he is to survive.

What I have learned in this health ministry is that you can take a mule to water, but you can't make him drink. That's his decision. Regular folks also don't do reading too good. You best present your case with a video off the internet. That is what I have done. I sent my friend video's I.V. 's concerning Hydrogen Peroxide, Vitamin C and Ultra Violet Blood Irridation. My Doctor does all of these and my friend now must make a decision. I have now involved his sister.

My friend's Doctor did tell him that if he did not get his problem under control then his life would be cut in half. This doctor passed charm school and as most of you know I flunked all that my bosses sent me to. My friend knows I'm not PC so I told him that he did not get his problem under control, then he will soon die. After a year of hell, he agreed.

We got one other Expert involved with this problem. We are all praying.

Astragalus Root For Allergies Caused Side Effects

Astragalus Root: I was hoping this plant would help me out as I seem to develope allergic reactions so easily to pollen and whatever in the atmosphere. I took 1,350 mg (weight) astragalus capsule from well known brand and I have been now for unwell 3 days! Upset my digestive system totally and I feel very strange. I have read that this reaction is very rare; for me it was almost immediate. Can anyone tell me how I might take this powdered root without invoking the upset stomach. Have to say that I don't really want to touch it again!

Overuse of Antibacterial Products

KT (the USA) on 05/14/2013

Something to think about...I have wondered how many are using anti-bacterial soaps or hand sanitizers. Good and bad bacteria are everywhere but if you use these you are not only killing the bad bacteria but the good bacteria that fights it. It seems like the more germ-free and sanitized people are trying to be, ailments and diseases are escalating.

Medicinal Mushrooms to Strengthen Immunity

Deirdre (Atlanta, Ga) on 11/28/2012
5 out of 5 stars

Hi everyone! Just wanted to give feedback on medicinal mushrooms for immune support. My mother has been taking an immune support mushroom formula from the health food store for 2 years now and hasn't gotten sick. I am around a lot of children every day at our karate studio and bombarded year-round with viruses galore. I got a nasty virus in October that took a couple of weeks to recover from and a dry cough that lingered for a good month. My usual arsenal of remedies from EC didn't work this time -- h202 inhalation, Ted's aspirin cure and high doses of vitamin c to name a few. After ignoring my mother's suggestions about medicinal mushrooms now for years, I decided to give it a go. I went online to research and found a sustainably produced, immune support multi-mushroom formula with feedback from people who hadn't been sick in 4-6 years. I bought a bottle and it arrived just in time! I could feel another nasty virus kicking in last week and quickly took 2 capsules. Within 20 minutes I was feeling better. It was that fast! I took 2 more in the evening, 2 more in the morning and by the end of the next day, I was 100% back to normal. No symptoms manifested other than a bit of fatigue.

These mushrooms are now at the top of my favorite supplement list! I am taking 2 capsules every day now.

Blessings and Good Health to All!

Deirdre from EC

Master Tonic to Maintain Health and Strong Immune System

Lisa (Thousand Oaks, Ca, Usa) on 11/19/2012

Hi Everyone, Since we are entering the holiday season and the season notoriously known for colds and flus, I thought I would put the recipe up for The Master Tonic which is known to avert these nasty things. This tonic is extremely powerful because all the ingredients are fresh. Do not underestimate its power.

Master Tonic Ingredients:

1 part fresh chopped garlic cloves

1 part fresh chopped white onions

1 part fresh grated ginger root

1 part fresh grated horseradish root

1 part fresh chopped Cayenne peppers, Jalapenos, Serranos, Habeneros... any combination of the hottest peppers available.

Preparation:

Fill a jar 3/4 of the way full with equal parts of the above ingredients. Then fill to the top with raw apple cider vinegar. (Remember all ingredients need to be fresh and organic if possible.)

Close and shake vigorously and then top off with vinegar again if necessary.

This tonic will take approximately 14 days to come to its full potential. Shake it whenever you walk by or at least once a day!

Usage:

Strain liquid from solids with either cheesecloth or a strainer into an 8 oz. Glass. (Note: the solid ingredients retain almost the same potency as the liquid therefore, they can be pureed and used in salad dressings, as marinades, etc.)

Dosage:

1/2 to 1oz. , 2 or more times daily, gargle and swallow.

Storage:

Keep this tincture in a dark place as light will deteriorate it. You can put the jar in a brown paper bag for the brewing and shaking process. Tinctures last indefinitely while herbs lose their potency within a year. Also, tinctures enter the body in seconds.

Cheers everyone and stay healthy! Lisa

I have been seeking the elements required by the body to do its own healing-- the most vital of them, at least. One of these is as old as life itself, and been in use as a healing agent for a known 5,000 years. It is aloe. The research reveals this type and form of aloe to be closest to eating the plant itself, and is required for cells to do their healing, so I'm all in, when I read that!

Yet another substance that we have woefully underestimated, due to not using it in its best variety, nor in the best delivery form. That the gubmt is trying to place such products under the auspices of big pharm should tell you all you need to know, as they really do want us to have access to affordable, and readily available healing agents, right? --T.
