1. Keep well hydrated Use a home water filter system and drink plenty of clean fresh water every day.

2. Eat raw fruits and veggies daily, preferably half of your food intake.

3. Avoid all dairy foods especially during an outbreak but also when congested. Also avoid processed meats and any meats from animals raised with hormones and antibiotics. Avoid all processed foods, artificial sweeteners, hydrogenated oils, refined carbohydrates, high fructose corn syrup, MSG etc. Low glycemic natural sugar is healthier and adds less strain on your system.

4. Take apple cider vinegar in water daily. (1 tbsp in 4oz water) and or the juice of ½ a lemon in 4oz water.

5. Take a high quality green superfood formula daily. Eat more greens in your diet such as kale, collards, beet greens etc?

6. Use only extra virgin coconut oil to cook with. Use cold pressed olive or flax seed oil on salads.

7. Get daily exercise and maintain an upright posture.

8. Avoid public places during any outbreak.

9. Wash hands thoroughly with natural vegetable based soap. Avoid using antibacterial soaps, which kill the good bacteria on your skin. Washing off dirt and crud is all you need to do where hand washing is concerned. Use the same practice on your body.

10. Eliminate fluoride from your water supply with a Berkey water purification system or reverse osmosis. Also filter chlorine out of the water you use to shower with.

11. Use only natural, non-chemical personal care products such as shampoos, soaps, creams etc. If you would not put it in your mouth, do not put it on your skin.

12. Wear natural fiber clothing. This in itself has an effect on your body?s electro-magnetic field. Synthetic clothing weakens that field.

13. Keep your living space free from clutter. Keep kitchen and bathroom surfaces clean. Use grapefruit seed extract to disinfect, mixed with water. Use 7 to 10 drops for a quart spray bottle. This is also a great gargle (2 drops to 2 oz warm water) for sore throats.

14. In times of an outbreak use a quart spray bottle with the following essential oils in it; eucalyptus, pine, grapefruit, orange and lemon. Use 12-15 drops of each oil.

15. Watch your emotions. Keep your stress levels low with deep breathing, good communication and a healthy lifestyle. Stress weakens the immune system.

16. Take immune building herbs such as astragulus, ashwagandha, shatavari and Siberian ginseng. Or try Immune Assist 247 several times a day.
