Are your adrenals happy?
So what does the flu have to do with anxiety therapy? Well, one of the key set of glands involved with anxious feelings are also critical for proper immune health. It is the ADRENALS and when you have adrenal fatigue the immune system can’t do it’s job properly. The other organs which has a critical role in mental health and immunity are the intestines. My experience has been that when the adrenal and intestines are in good health, my immunity is exceptional and my mind feels strong!
Because of my personal beliefs, I choose not to vaccinate. Instead I take a pro-active position of creating a healthy body that will fight off anything I am exposed to. Of course there are good hygiene practices like washing your hands and not putting things into your mouth!
I will share with you what I do to support my little adrenals and help protect them from adrenal fatigue. Do with this information what like, it’s up to you to choose what’s best for your body. Here’s the list of my daily adrenal protocol:
- Vitamin C – Between 1000 and 2000 mg per day (Super C)
- B Complex – Super high doses of these. For example, 8000%+ for B12 (Super B)
- Adrenal Herbal Support Complex (Endogize)
- Super Smoothie in the morning for protein and nutrition for daily adrenal support (PowerMeal, 2 tblsp coconut oil, 1 raw egg, 1 drop cinnamon essential oil, 5 drops orange essential oil, 1/2 dropper of stevia)
- Apply an adrenal support essential oil blend called En-R-Gee everyday – 3 drops on the bottom of my feet. It’s absorbed into the skin super quick!
Pretty simple, huh?
To assist with my intestinal health I eat a very clean diet free of gluten grains, sugar, fast foods, processed grains, and prepared foods. Primarily I eat protein (meat & beans), non-starchy vegetables, nuts, low glycemic fruits (berries, cherries, apples) and eggs. The side effects of eating like this have also been a significant loss in extra weight, 55 pounds! Besides my diet, every night before bed I supplement with a super strain of probiotic (Life 5) and with each meal I use enzymes to assist in the proper break down of my food (Detoxyme & Essentialzyme). As the ‘ol saying goes, “It’s not what you eat, it’s what you ABSORB!”
If I was concerned I was going to be exposed to any of the flu strains, I would take extra precautions using items to protect my body. For years I have been blessed with not contracting any seasonal illnesses. I feel it is because I use essential oils from plants that have been proven to kill and inhibit bacteria and virus. My favorite choice is called Thieves blend. I’ve used it successfully on my horses for killing a virus that plagues their ears. Most vets say it’s untreatable, the virus was gone in a month! I’ve also used it internally for myself and family whenever a sniffle or “fighting something” feeling comes on. Funny, the “bug” never takes hold. My trick is a one, two punch. 2 Inner Defense in the morning, 2 at lunch, and 2 Life 5’s at night – it’s that simple!
