Natural Treatment Against The Coronavirus – What You Need On Hand To Be Prepared

Listening to the news can make you feel like the coronavirus or flu is just lurking outside, waiting to consume and kill you. It can be so scary that some people have already said they aren’t leaving their homes, hunkering down until the scare passes. It doesn’t have to be this way. Natural treatment against the coronavirus comes in many forms. Building a strong microbiome and having the tools on hand, in case a virus breaks out, is not just proper defense against a virus but is proper health.

There are several tools that can help you if a virus attacks. These should be at your fingertips when needed. When the first sign of symptoms arrive, the tools in the toolbox should be used. The earlier it is treated, the more effective the treatment.

It goes without saying, no body can be healthy eating dead food: candies, pastries, fast food, packaged food, chemicals, preservatives, dyes, and the like. A healthy body thrives on vitamins, minerals, and nutrients made from fresh foods cooked into a meal. It’s not just better for you, it’s better. Building your system with food that was alive and is now feeding your body is essential to building a strong terrain in the microbiome. Everyone has 24 hours in a day. If you’re not using your time wisely, to properly feed your body, it may be time to adjust priorities. It’s worth it.

When choosing foods to nourish, it’s a well known fact that vitamin A is a powerhouse for fighting disease. Foods high in vitamin A are pastured yolks, beef liver, lamb liver, cod liver oil, mackerel, salmon, pastured butter, as well as others. Vitamin A is a fat soluble vitamin, which means if you are taking a supplement, first of all it’s synthetic and not often absorbed by the body, but also can’t absorb if it’s not taken with fat. Food forms of vitamin A are best. Even the National Institute of Health says measles treated with vitamin A shortens the disease, diarrhea, and fever. Orange foods, high in beta carotene, like carrots, butternut squash, and pumpkin, are powerful vitamin A support as the beta carotene goes to your liver, where it is converted to vitamin A. Some say all disease is a vitamin A deficiency. Signs of a vitamin A deficiency include dry eyes, difficulty seeing or driving at night, keratinized bumps (which are generally white bumps found often on the backs of the upper arms), frequent respiratory infections, and acne. If you already present with these symptoms, you’re more vulnerable.

A bit of local honey and a shake of clove makes it taste great! It can be made into a pie, or a syrup like cough syrup. Many people err on the side of using small doses, however there is no reason to be shy. If too much is taken, it’ll lead to loose stools, which is desired to flush a virus from the body.

High dose vitamin C was discovered by Linus Pauling to fight disease, where he experimented with so much that it created loose stools, known as bowel tolerance. High dose vitamin C shows effective for many illnesses. Food form vitamin C, like this one, is optimal. Some show strain on their stomach acid when using portions of the C molecule with versions like ascorbic acid, while others show great success. It can be made into buffered C by mixing it half and half with ascorbic acid and baking soda.
