Action is Needed to Boost the Inmune System

Here are some tips that have been given to me to boos the immune system. Everyday:

  1. A balanced diet.
  2. Deep breathing, the kind they teach you in Yoga class.
  3. Regular, moderate exercise (if possible one hour a day).
  4. 1,000 ER - Vitamin A (1 carrot).
  5. 60 mg. - Vitamin C (1 orange).
  6. 8 to 10 mg. - Vitamin E.
  7. Gentle taps for 5 minutes on the mid of the breastbone to stimulate the Thymus, the organ or gland that produces the T-Cells, very important for our immune system.
  8. Keep your home's humidity between 30 and 50% to prevent dryness of the nose. That will protect the Cilium - the hair in your nose - that protect your respiratory system against unwanted germs.
  9. Start your day with a few minutes of a hot shower; then change the temperature to lukewarm or cold.
  10. Always put your right leg in first when you shower. I wish I had a logical explanation for this one, but that is the way I was told since I was very little.
  11. Practice relaxation techniques regularly. Prepare Valerian, lettuce, mint chamomile, Alice Grass or Linden teas. GET RID OF STRESS!!
  12. Lymphatic massages.
  13. Oxygen therapy.
  14. Eat garlic, horseradish, fresh onions to hinder the growth of bacteria.
  15. Put mint oil in your bath.

Health cocktails:

3 carrots
1 orange
1 apple
1/2 beet

Use either the juicer or the blender, drink daily. I was told to give this to my 1-year-old son because he was always catching colds. It did help big time.

We all drank every morning for a year and a half:

A quart of a pound of grapes
7 strands of parsley
1 stalk of celery
1 carrot

If you use the blender, use cheesecloth to strain. Delicious, refreshing, energetic and effective.
