Fight Ebola and Other Diseases Naturally

It’s been a scary ride watching the news fear monger the spread of the Ebola virus. Yes, it is serious but rather than cause people to bite their nails and sweat in panic this can be a teachable moment.

Discussing the importance of how to fight Ebola and other diseases naturally may be a better news item than the latter. Addressing simple ways to change some habitual practices and strengthen the immune system could make a big difference.

If Ebola or the flu or any other number of diseases we are vulnerable to arise, shoring up your first line of defense can easily start now. With a strong mental and physical constitution, you could possibly remain unscathed.

Yet, if you are unfortunately infected having an immune system that is ‘at the ready’ could make vaccine treatment and recovery more successful.

What do you have to lose?

Thousand Year Old Rx

Conventional medicine has a long line of successful vaccines and treatments for eradicating and/or curing scores of diseases. Without this science it is possible that our global population could be significantly diminished.

Yet, it is not a science to rely on synthetic medicine as a preventative remedy. For instance, getting a flu shot doesn’t trump the many other things a person should do to stay healthy. It’s just one tool in the grand scheme of things.

Using botanical medicines along with clinical nutrition, homeopathy, detoxification and other hundreds to thousands of years of successful applications, including acupuncture, is one way you can keep your body running on all cylinders.

It is essential to check with your doctor before taking any alternative remedies especially if you are already ill.

The Antibacterials

Yes, the Ebola virus is just that, a virus, but if you make it a habit to incorporate antibacterial foods and herbs into your diet that could give your body more strength to fight a virus. These are some of many medicinal foods (posted by Natural News) that are easily accessible and integrated:

• Garlic
• Onion
• Turmeric (curcumin)
• Ginger
• Lemon
• Cayenne
• Peppermint
• Cinnamon
• Clove
• Cranberry
• Calendula
• Echinacea
• Oregon grape root
• Goldenseal
• Marshmallow root
• Uva Ursi
• Yarrow
• Colloidal silver

The Antivirals

Believe it or not there are also antiviral herbs. That’s right, just like conventional medicine offers powerful synthetic versions you could very well have a few sitting in your kitchen. Some of the above antibacterials make this list as well which are: ginger, garlic, cranberry, colloidal silver, and Echinacea.

The others include:

• Una de Gato (Cat’s Claw)
• Pau D’Arco
• Astragalus
• Elderberry
• Lemon balm
• Licorice root
• Olive leaf
• Oregano oil

Let it Stew

One of the reasons conventional medicine is a money making machine is that it often works quickly. This is why many people would rather put up with potential, sometimes long lasting toxic side effects so they can reap a quick recovery.

Any collateral damage is often dealt with by taking another medication and therein lies the ugly cycle of relying on pharmaceuticals.

By changing the way you eat and adding in a strong supplemental regiment, your body will have a chance to slowly heal and strengthen itself. However, by incorporating these antibacterial and antiviral foods and herbs into your system, an accumulation will have to manifest to do the job, or at least try.

Therefore, starting straightaway and maintaining a daily dose just as you would brush your teeth each day, is the best way to rev up your system. Beginning a regiment only when you show signs of illness can work for some minor strains, but to attempt to stave off things like Ebola, flus and even many colds, it is essential to follow an everyday protocol.

It is important to note however that it is recommended to take time off from taking any supplements to ‘reboot’ your body. This could be a few days to a few weeks depending on the time in-between. Look for a local naturopathic doctor (some will even advise over the phone) or similar professional for advise on supplemental dosing, especially when using antibacterial and antiviral formulas.

To fight Ebola and other diseases naturally gives you an opportunity to take advantage of your body’s healing powers. Check with your doctor before taking any alternative remedies to ensure that contraindications with medicine or health history don’t occur.
