Flu Vaccine Fails This Year: How to Protect Yourself

February the 4th World Cancer DayFebruary 4 was WORLD CANCER DAY.

It seems that there is so much cancer around us that we don’t really need a World Cancer Day to remind us that 1 in 3 women and 1 in 2 men in the US will be diagnosed with cancer at some time in their lives.

It is my wish that these daunting statistics do not motivate you by fear, but rather by love of life, to make healthy choices that lead you to “create a body in which cancer cannot thrive”.

I am going to put myself to bed an hour earlier and get more sleep! What are you going to do?

I suggest you choose one new health-giving life giving habit and integrate it into your daily life. Share your choice with us on our Facebook page.

Flu Vaccine Fails This Season

It’s cold and flu season and the US Center for Disease Control admits that this year’s flu vaccine is ineffective against 67% or over 2/3 of flu causing viruses infecting people this 2014-2015 flu season.

Dr. Nalini’s Recommendation

What can you do to enhance your immunity and your resistance to viral infections?

First of all wash your hands more frequently, get enough sleep (7-9 hours per night), drink plenty of fluids (8-10 eight ounce servings daily), and get at least 3 four ounce servings of protein daily.

Last month we talked about the importance of Vitamin D. Take your Vitamin D daily (start with 1000-2000iu daily).

Botanical-Herbal medicine is filled with plants that support resistance to viral infections and cancer. Some of the most potent immune modulators are found in mushrooms, including delicious edible mushrooms used in cooking such as the common button mushroom, Portabello Mushrooms and Shiitake Mushrooms. Add mushrooms to your soups and salads regularly.

During flu season supplement with the great medicinal mushrooms of Chinese Medicine that have been used not only to boost resistance to infections but also to enhance your ability to fight cancer.

The Immune Support Essentials contains not only Vitamin C, but also Immunitone Plus, which contains both Reishi Mushroom (Ganoderma) as well as my favorite of all mushrooms, Cordyceps.

Whether the flu or cancer, you can take steps to protect your health so that you can live every day to the fullest!
