 Your Core Wellness Program
There is a lot of material in this report and it may be confusing and/or intimidating
for many readers, so we have outlined a core Wellness Program for you that will
provide the basics you need. There are many more supplements and therapies
outlined below that may be helpful for you. If you have hypertension, diabetes,
cardiovascular conditions, lung conditions, kidney failure, had
chemotherapy/radiation, or are taking immunosuppressing medications, please
work with your physician as you are in a high-risk category.
Dosing, what supplements are recommended, and any instructions are listed in
the main text of this report.
These are the supplements you must buy now! Get enough for several months.
Boost Your Immune System:
Vitamin C – in any form, will be your main supplement
Medicinal Mushrooms – add to your core program
Vitamin D - very important
Zinc – keeps virus from replicating
Create a Healthy Lifestyle:
Oral/Nasal Health - Use a mouthwash (NOT OTC) at least 2x/day. Viruses stay in
the mouth for 4-5 days before entering lungs. Get an herbal spray at a health food
store or use colloidal silver or hydrogen peroxide
Drink water frequently during the day to flush viruses and bacteria out of the
mouth.
Rest – get 7-8 hours of quality rest. This is when your body repairs itself
Sugar – cut all sugar as it suppresses the immune system!
Digestion – take a good probiotic to improve your microbiome; this is important
for absorption of nutrients and 70% of your immune system develops in the gut

4
Other Products to Boost the Immune System
Melatonin – works synergistically with vitamin C to reduce the inflammatory
storm that causes pneumonia to be so deadly
How to Clear Your Lungs
Steam Inhalation: add essential oils to a pot of boiling water (reduce to steam);
can also use apple cider vinegar or salt. Helps reduce inflammation and expel
mucus from the lungs.

These are the core items you need as a foundation of your Wellness Program.
Start with these now and add items from the rest of this report as your situation
warrants.

1. Introduction
This protocol is designed to help you prepare for the COVID-19 (Corona Virus) and
hopefully avoid it. In the event you do get the virus we have included many
therapies and supplements that will help you successfully deal with it. There are
currently no known cures for the virus, but there are many ways to ward it off and
overcome its effects.
Virus’ mode of action: attach, invade, replicate. If you stop one of these, the virus
will lose its potency. This protocol is meant to attack at each step.
The products mentioned below are available on Amazon, eBay, and at your local
health food store or an online retailer of supplements. Due to the crisis, supplies
may be limited, so it is suggested that you shop at your earliest convenience! Read
the quantity of each supplement and the dosage in order to calculate your needs
and buy enough for several months. And don’t forget that you will need
supplements for the entire family!

Let’s get started!

We strongly suggest that you get an adequate supply of vitamins C and D and at
least one of the other supplements that boost the immune system right away. If
you have diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular or respiratory conditions, have
had cancer treatment or are taking immunosuppressant medications you will need
to address them as well because you are at a much greater risk of death with these
conditions. Talk to your physician!

2. Boost Your Immune System!

The best way to prepare for dealing with the virus is to boost your immune system
immediately. If you already have symptoms or have been exposed to someone who
has the virus, you will need to boost your immune system and start some of the
therapies and supplements mentioned below.

6
Vitamin C is the best defense against any viral attack. Damage inflicted on the lungs
is caused by the generation of high levels of free radicals. Vitamin C is the antidote
to combat these high levels of free radicals. Low levels of vitamin C increase the
body’s vulnerability to viruses. So take vitamin C NOW!! Vitamin C helps prevent
and treat respiratory infections. This has been well documented for 50 years. It
ramps up your oxygen levels. Vitamin C activates your white blood cells, your first
line of defense. Vitamin C energizes natural killer (NK) cells which attack pathogenic
microbes; it also energizes macrophages, another of the immune system’s front
line of defenses against infection. A study at Nottingham University in the UK found
that those who consumed higher amounts of vitamin C had better lung function,
and those who had a diet rich in vitamin C and magnesium, had significantly
improved lung function. Take to bowel tolerance, but the sicker you are the more
vitamin C you can tolerate.
Ascorbic acid – can use the cheapest form. Can take 1,000 mg/hour to bowel
tolerance, or 3-6,000 mg per day in 4-5 divided doses. This is a preventative dose.
You don’t need any fancy form! In case you don’t have access to IV vitamin C and
are infected, you can take 2,000 mg every 6 minutes; this will help stop a fever and
cough.
Here’s a good source of vitamin C: https://paleovalley.com/offers/essential-c-
complexpromo/glownaturalwellness10?inf_contact_key=f309ffe73725b42ce01ca
e3af0c8018009c74070ac2bf3cfa7869e3cfd4ff832

Liposomal vitamin C is more bioavailable than regular vitamin C (up to 20x),

so less is needed. This company has been a leader in the development of liposomal
products: https://purathrive.com/# It also has vitamin D; they have several
products: https://purathrive.com/natural-living-family/vitamin-c/?AFFID=254982
Another: https://www.lifeextension.com/search#q=liposomal&t=coveo4A2453FD
Another: https://www.livonlabs.com/ They are not taking orders as of 3/28/20 and
suggest that you follow them on social media to see when they will be accepting
new orders again. They have a variety of liposomal products.
Many liposomal formulations use the sodium ascorbate form of vitamin C, which is
the same form used in IV vitamin C. It has a different mode of action in the body,

7
so we believe that BOTH forms should be used in a 2-pronged attack on the Covid-
19 virus. This opinion stems from research reported by Doris Loh
@Evolutamente.it. in mid-March, 2020.

IV vitamin C should be the first thing you do if you become infected! High
doses won’t affect the bowels because the vitamin C bypasses your intestines. This
is what has been used in China and Korea during the recent outbreak and is very
effective. Start with 10,000 mg per day (dose used in China) and go up to 75,000
mg per day for acute cases. Do this for at least 3 days. You can alternatively take
10-20,000 mg/day for 7-10 days for severe cases. It may be hard to find a doctor or
clinic that does IV vitamin C, so plan ahead.
To locate a physician in your area who administers IV vitamin C, see
www.acam.com or www.icimed.com .

Vitamin D is vital for any viral infection and pneumonia! Here’s why: vitamin D can
reduce the risk of many chronic diseases, including cancer, cardiovascular disease,
chronic respiratory infections (RTIs), diabetes, and hypertension. People with
chronic diseases have a significantly higher risk of death from RTIs than otherwise
healthy people. It can also reduce the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines,
thereby reducing the risk of a cytokine storm leading to pneumonia. The cytokine
storm causes an overproduction of mucus within the lungs, so inhibiting it is vital to
stop the progression to pneumonia. See Thymic Protein A below for more
information on downregulating the cytokine storm. Increasing vitamin D levels may
reduce the incidence, severity and risk of death from influenza, pneumonia and the
COVID-19 virus.
In today’s world most people are deficient in vitamin D. You can have your level
checked cheaply at companies like LabCorp or Quest, but if you live in the north
and stay inside most of the time, you are most likely low in vitamin D. Take 5,000
IU/day and up to 10,000 IU/day if anybody around you is sick. If you have the
corona virus, take 50,000 IU/day for 4-5 days. 2,000 IU/day is a good maintenance
dose if you live in the south and are outside a lot. Try to get 20 minutes of morning
sun per day to help build your own vitamin D reserves – no sunscreen or sunglasses!

8
Your levels optimally should be at least 50, but with a health crisis I suggest getting
closer to 100 (NOT above). In Korea they have been giving people shots of 100,000
IU at one time.
This company has been a leader in the development of liposomal products.
https://purathrive.com/# Also has vitamin C. Try to get it combined with vitamin K.
Vitamin D supplements are widely available at pharmacies and health food stores.
Start taking vitamin D now!

Magnesium – most Americans are deficient in this vital mineral which is responsible
for over 300 enzymatic functions in the body. Magnesium is important for immune
functioning and will also help you relax. Take at least 400 mg/day, and if you have
trouble sleeping take some before bedtime as it will help relax and you will get a
better sleep. Don’t take the oxide form!
Epsom salts can be used to increase one’s magnesium level quickly. Use
them for a foot bath or in a regular bathtub. Very helpful for relaxing and getting
a good night’s sleep, both of which are important in your Wellness Protocol. They
are also important in helping detoxify the body. Toxins cause inflammation and
disrupt many of the body’s functions, so anything to help detoxify will be
beneficial.

Medicinal mushrooms are one of the most significant immune enhancers, due, in
large part, to the beta glucans they contain. Try Maitake D-Fraction Pro
https://www.luckyvitamin.com/sb-maitake-d-fraction, or
https://www.vitaminshoppe.com/p/mushroom-wisdom-pro-maitake-d-fraction-
4x-2-fl-oz/my-1013 Comes in liquid and capsule. There are other forms, but the
Pro is the most potent.

AHCC is another very good medicinal mushroom supplement.

AHCC

Another: https://shop.organixx.com/collections/all-products/products/7m-
plus

 Maitake Gold 404 – Another highly recommended product:
https://mushroomscience.com/maitake-gold-404/

Start taking a medicinal mushroom product NOW to ramp up your immune

system!

Selenium is a powerful scavenger of free radicals, helps recharge vitamin D and

fights against viruses. Our soils are very deficient in this important vitamin.
Selenium may be an effective inhibitor of angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE).
ACE inhibitors are used to lower blood pressure. Take 100 mcg per day –
micrograms! Selenium may also be in your multivitamin, so check first.

Vitamin A is important in fighting viral infections; helps protect mucus integrity in

the body; is known as an anti-inflammation vitamin because of its critical role in
enhancing immune function. Since mucus membranes are under attack during a
viral or bacterial infection, having adequate vitamin A is important.

Zinc – take 20-50 mg/day (NOT the oxide form!). Zinc helps stop the virus from
replicating. Zinc enhances resistance to infection; zinc deficiency is associated with
impaired cellular immune response. You may have zinc in your multivitamin, so
check for amount and form. Start taking zinc NOW.
Just in: 3/30/20 Dr. Eric Nepute stated in a podcast that a doctor at a hospital in
NYC has been using 200-250 mg/da of zinc to help patients overcome the virus. But
he says ONLY for 5-7 days!!

3. A Healthy Lifestyle
Most of the healthy lifestyle changes you will need to make are obvious, such as a
good diet, stop drinking, stop smoking, stop taking recreational drugs, etc., but
there are many things you may not have thought of that will greatly impact your
over-all health, boost your immune system, and in general, keep you much
healthier so you can fight the Covid-19 virus.

Oral/Nasal Health
Keeping your oral and nasal cavities as bacterial/virus-free as possible will be critical
in your fight against Covid-19! Viruses and bacteria enter the body through the
mouth, nose, eyes and ears, so the following tips will offer some suggestions.
Drinking water frequently will help flush bacteria and viruses out of the mouth.
Mouthwash/Throat Spray - this is a very important aspect of keeping the virus at
bay, but NO commercial ones as most of them have alcohol. Health food stores
have a number of throat sprays that you can use after you have been out in public
(or before you go out). You can also use a capful of hydrogen peroxide – just swish
it around your mouth for 15 seconds or so and spit out. You can also put your
toothbrush in a glass of H2O2 to kill germs. Use only a 3% solution that you can
buy at the pharmacy for a few dollars. Remember, your mouth is the gateway to
your microbiome, and your microbiome makes 70% of your immune system. Your
mouth is also the gateway to your lungs, so keeping it bacteria/virus free is very
important!
If you feel anything different in your throat, gargle and start using throat spray
immediately! Bacteria and viruses can stay in your mouth for 3-4 days before going
into the lungs, so good oral hygiene is a vital step in arresting any virus or bacterial
infection.
Colloidal Silver can also be used as a mouthwash. See Colloidal Silver
section below.
Use a spray or mouthwash only 1-2x per day.

11
Here is one that is highly recommended: https://biocidin.com/products/biocidin-
throat-spray
And another one: https://everydaythroatspray.com/ I have used this for many
years and know the developer.

Hydrogen Peroxide Another remedy is to use 2-3 drops of hydrogen peroxide in

each ear if you feel any sign of a cold or sore throat coming on. Use a Q-tip for the
peroxide. Turn your head sideways and put the drops in one ear, pull the earlobe
and let the peroxide pop and fizz for a minute or two and do the other ear.
If you start to have a cough or have fluid in the lungs, drink a hot liquid every 20
minutes. This could be tea, soup or water with lemon. This will help wash the
toxins out of your mouth and help you eliminate mucus build up and keep the
mucus fluid. You don’t want the mucus to thicken and clog your airways. Don’t
drink anything cold!!
Drink water frequently as that will wash any bacteria or virus out of your mouth.
We cannot stress the importance of this enough!
As a preventative, start using a mouthwash or spray immediately!

Neti Pot – a neti pot will help flush bacteria and viruses from your sinuses. Follow
directions for use.

Rest – get a good night’s sleep, usually around 8 hours. Go to bed at the same time
each night so your body gets into a rhythm. This is when your body repairs itself,
so this is very important. Don’t use electronics or anything with blue light within 2
hours of going to bed. This affects your melatonin levels and the quality of your
sleep. If you get the virus, recover, then feel well, continue a lot of bed rest for 4-5
days after you begin to feel well. Your body needs to repair itself!

Stop smoking – that is a given! Smoking inflames your airways and lowers your
oxygen levels.

12
Stress/anxiety are at all-time levels in the US – even before the onslaught of the
corona virus. Stress depresses the immune system, so you will need to deal with it
as part of your personal wellness program. It is beyond the scope of this paper.

Sugar – sorry, but you must cut out all sugar! It is a major poison for the body and
depresses your immune system. No sodas, of course (even ones with no sugar, but
that is for another reason). Keep hydrated and drink plenty of water – no fancy
water or energy drinks, either!
“Do you know what the #1 “food culprit” is when it comes to harming our immune
system?

SUGAR!

As a matter of fact, your blood can show lab evidence of a lowered immune
system function within 30 minutes of eating sugar (like glucose, refined sugar
and fructose)......which causes a 50% reduction in the ability for white blood cells
to kill germs!” That should tell you enough!

Your Microbiome
70% of your immune system is made in your gut – microbiome. So enhancing your
microbiome is critical to ward off any infection. Years of bad diet, excess sugar
consumption, drugs, both legal and recreational, heavy alcohol consumption, and
the Purple Pills used for heartburn (proton pump inhibitors), among other things,
affect the functioning of your gut. As we get older the situation gets worse, so that
is why we are seeing elderly die in large numbers with the corona virus.
You will need to address any digestive problems you have so that you can absorb
the nutrients you need and balance your intestinal flora. To help with this you can
eat fermented foods and take a good probiotic. A good prebiotic with lots of fiber
will help re-populate your digestive tract as well. I have recommended Dr. Ohhira’s
formula for many years https://drohhiraprobiotics.com/dr-ohhira-probiotics/dr-

13
ohhiras-original-formula/. There are many other brands, but make sure the one you
choose has at least 6 strains of probiotics and at least 30 billion live
microorganisms. As a preventative, start taking a probiotic now and work on
correcting any digestive problems you have.

Your pH – your pH is a measure of how acid or alkaline your body fluids are. To be
in an alkaline state for optimum health, your pH should be between 6.8-7.2.
“An alkaline body can absorb up to 20 times more oxygen than an acidic body.”
These are the words of Dr. Otto Warburg, a Nobel Prize Winner for his work on
respiratory enzymes and cancer.
Buy test strips at your pharmacy or a test kit with color chart at a health food store.
Monitor your pH every day. If it is below 6.8 you will need to alkalize your body. NO
soda, as it greatly reduces your pH and it takes your body several hours to raise its
pH after you drink a soda.
Here is a chart that shows you some alkaline foods:
http://holistic-pharmacist.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/alkaline-food-
chart.pdf
There are some alkaline power foods such as lemon, apple cider vinegar, aloe vera
juice, chlorella, spirulina and other green-food powders, as well as citrate minerals
of potassium, magnesium and calcium, that when added to alkaline water or spring
water will help balance the body’s pH.
Test your urine first thing in the morning before you have had anything to eat or
drink. Keep a chart of your progress. Start now so you can take corrective steps if
your body is acidic.

Blood oxygen test - buy a $20 fingertip pulse oximeter for blood oxygen saturation
monitoring. A severe cough and especially a blood oxygen saturation of 93% or
lower requires immediate medical attention or hospitalization.

14
4. Other Products to Boost Your Immune System
Andrographis is an herb used in Chinese and Ayurvedic medicine for colds, flu, and
its anti-inflammatory and anti-viral properties. It is especially helpful with lung
infections, so if you have asthma, bronchitis, COPD or other lung problems, this
would be good to start using now.

Antibacterial Soaps and products. Absolutely NOT! They kill the good and bad
bacteria on your skin and you need the good bacteria. A bad balance of bacteria
will weaken your immune system. Some of these products contain Triclosan, which
weakens the immune system and is an endocrine disruptor. Hand sanitizers using
soap and having at least 60% alcohol content are a better choice.

Ave – AveUltra is a powerful immune booster. AvéULTRA is a new dietary

supplement that contains a unique ingredient called fermented wheat germ extract
(FWGE). This compound, produced through a proprietary process of fermenting
wheat germ, yields a molecule called DMBQ (2,6-dimethoxy-p-benzoquinone). This
substance has been proven to be one of the single most important natural health
discoveries ever made!

Three unique, powerful ways AvéULTRA supports a depleted immune system:

1. Regulates and modulates the immune system so all of your white blood cells
work in perfect harmony.
2. Exposes enemy cells so they can be destroyed by Natural Killer cells, the most
important white blood cells in your immune system.
3. Starves enemy cells by depriving them of the massive amounts of glucose they
need to survive.

Helps Regulate and Modulate the Immune System

AvéULTRA promotes and regulates T-cells, B-cells, NK cells, and macrophages in
order to fight invading cells and keep you healthy. All of the white blood cells in
your immune system have to work together in perfect harmony to do so. These
cells must perform their unique functions on cue, to offer you the best immune

15
protection possible. They need to be regulated and modulated. AvéULTRA helps the
body lead them, much like an orchestra conductor.

Beta 1,3/1,6 Glucan Beta glucans, a fiber-type complex sugar, come from maitake
mushrooms and baker’s yeast and are probably the most powerful natural immune
enhancers in the world. They modulate immunity, modify neoplastic (cancer)
disease and increase resistance to microbial invaders.
Product: Transfer Point. Get 500 mg, 60 cap size. One bottle is good for one month.
https://transferpoint.com/collections/our-products They are sold out at of
3/29/20, so keep checking back or check online.
Product: Immutol – the most active, most pure and most active product in the
world. IMMUTOL®’s ability to strengthen the innate immune system has yielded
noteworthy results, both for vulnerable older people with weak innate immune
systems, and for people who are presently healthy but want to achieve and
maintain a powerful peak performing innate immune system.
http://www.immunocorp.com/index.php/product/immutol Recommendation is
100-200 mg/day, but more can be used, depending on weight.

Coconut Oil – from a recent report:

On May 20, 2003, the World Health Organization (WHO) removed the Philippines
from its list of areas with recent local transmission of SARS after 20 days had passed
with no further cases detected.

How did this tiny island nation avoid the ravages of SARS so effectively, despite how
close it is to China and other infected areas?

Scientists think the answer may lie in Coconut Oil, one of the country’s primary
exports and most popular cooking oil.

Coconut oil (or copra oil) is an edible oil extracted from the meat (kernel) of ripe
coconuts cut from the lofty branches of the majestic coconut palm Cocos nucifera.

16
The medium-chain fatty triglycerides (MCTs) of coconut oil metabolize differently
from the long-chain triglycerides (LCT) common in most other foods. Triglycerides
are either burned for energy or stored as body fat.

MCTs contain fatty acids that have a chain length of 6–12 carbon atoms. They
include caproic acid (C6), caprylic acid (C8), capric acid (C10), and lauric acid (C12).

Scientists have known for years that lauric acid (C12) surrounds and destroys
viruses. About 50% – half – of coconut oil is composed of lauric acid. Monolaurin
is derived from C12 and also has significant antiviral properties.

After consuming coconut oil as a liquid or in pure form as a supplement, enzymes

within the human body naturally produce monolaurin, a metabolite (a substance
produced during metabolism).

Sodium lauryl sulfate, a common surfactant (something that lowers the surface
tension between ingredients), is often added to household cleaners and shampoo.
It is manufactured from lauric acid and has demonstrated its antiviral power.

These three substances, lauric acid, monolaurin, and sodium lauryl sulfate (or
sodium dodecyl sulfate), are used in a wide range of commercial products to
prevent viral infection.

Dr. Fabian Dayrit, Ph.D. and Dr. Mary Newport, M.D., of Spring Hill Neonatology,
published a paper about the potential of coconut oil and its derivatives to battle
the new Wuhan coronavirus (named nCoV-2019) that has spread from Ground Zero
in China.

The research duo concluded that coconut oil, lauric acid, and its derivatives are
effective and safe agents against a virus such as nCoV-2019 and presented a trio of
possible causes http://www.icp.org.ph/2020/01 to explain why coconuts are such
potent virus killers:

“Three mechanisms have been proposed to explain the antiviral activity of lauric
acid and monolaurin: first, they cause disintegration of the virus envelope; second,
they can inhibit late maturation stage in the virus replicative cycle; and third, they
can prevent the binding of viral proteins to the host cell membrane.”

17
Editor’s note: It looks like coconut oil may be another powerful weapon in the fight
against coronavirus.

Use: Buy organic, cold-pressed extra virgin coconut oil. Take up to one tablespoon
daily.

Colloidal silver has been used for over 100 years as a natural infection fighter. Take
a capful per day as a preventative and use as a mouthwash at least once a day. You
can also use an atomizer to get it into your nose and lungs, where it will fight
infection. It comes in various parts per million (PPM) and products are formulated
differently. More PPM does not mean it is better, but smaller sized particles are
important.
Here are some good products.
The Silver Solution, a nano silver product -
https://www.nsfmarketplace.com/product-category/nano-silver-10-ppm/
Silver Excelsior Serum, a chelated silver product from one of my favorite
alternative docs who has been ahead of the curve for 30+ years:
https://drkeithsown.myshopify.com/pages/silver
Sovereign Silver has a 10 ppm product that is a hydrosol; sold out on their
website, but may be available online. Site good for information.
https://sovereignsilver.com/ I use this product.
Panasilver, a hydrosol http://www.activationproducts.com/product/panasilver

Dandelion is a great remedy for failing lungs. It can have a dramatic effect for lung
problems! Comes in many forms from tea and capsules to tinctures.

Del-Immune V – developed in Russia 30 + years ago to guard against bioweapon

pathogens and enhanced by the US manufacturer, this product is effective against
viral and other infections. It greatly benefits patients with depressed immune
systems, especially those who have undergone chemotherapy and radiation

18
treatment. Del-Immune is a powerful anti-infective agent by means of providing
immediate immune system support and is an excellent supplement for respiratory
infections including influenza, bronchitis, tuberculosis, and pneumonia.
https://www.delimmune.com/

DHA One supplement that has shown to be of particular benefit to helping those
with COPD is an omega-3 fatty acid called DHA (docosahexaenoic acid). Omega-3
fatty acids are clearly associated with a reduction in chronic bronchitis according
to the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. A study published in
the European Journal of Epidemiology indicated that DHA improves ventilation in
chronic lung disease. Omega-3 fatty acids, and it appears DHA in particular,
significantly reduce inflammation and improve breathing function due to the
reduced prostaglandin E2 levels.

Garlic – as reported in Sam Biser’s “Curing with Cayenne and its herbal partners”,
one lady used up to 48 cloves of raw garlic a day to cure her lung infection. Start
with six whole cloves a day and work up. Garlic can be tough on your stomach, so
start slowly.

Glutathione – the “master antioxidant” and a potent protector of your cells. Helps
neutralize toxins (toxins are one of the main reasons for a weak immune system).
NAC is the precursor of glutathione – see information below.
LivOnLabs has a number of liposomal products, including glutathione, but they are
not taking orders as of 3/28/20. We suggest that you check their website
periodically to see when they will start selling again. https://www.livonlabs.com/

Grapefruit seed extract (GSE) - a very powerful antimicrobial. Comes in a small

dropper bottle; use 10-15 drops in 6-8 oz water for a gargle or to drink if you have

19
an upset stomach/flu. VERY bitter, but I have used it for 20 years with amazing
results. Make sure you get grapefruit seed, not grapeseed!!

Humic (and fulvic) acid - This natural product literally comes from soil, produced
when organic plant matter decomposes. Super Fulvic Minerals contains many
nutrients, including trace minerals, electrolytes, prebiotics, and probiotics. In
particular, probiotics and prebiotics in Fulvic Acid nourish the gut and help maintain
a healthy balance of beneficial bacteria.
Results showed that Humic Acid, when consumed before the virus invaded the
body, was effective in preventing disease. Tests performed against multiple virus
types further confirmed Humic Acid’s broad anti-viral properties. Toxicity tests
showed that Humic Acid bound itself to human cells but was not itself toxic, nor did
it inhibit or interfere with cell development or reproduction…

Given that Fulvic Acid is the active ingredient in Humic Acid, and the most vital part
of this substance as both an anti-viral and antioxidant, it's time to take these
amazing plant-based nutrients.

Another one: https://www.iherb.com/pr/Morningstar-Minerals-Inner-Vitality-
Fulvic-Humic-Minerals-32-fl-oz-946-ml/61587 A good friend has worked with this
company for many years. Don’t compare prices, but servings and what is in each
serving. Can be very confusing.

Iodine – not the kind you get at the pharmacy to put on a cut, but ones sold online
or purchased at a health food store. It permeates and loosens up mucus secretions,
making them easier to expel and also helps fight infections. It comes as an
iodine/iodide liquid or tablet or as SSKI (potassium iodide). Use as directed or take
3-6 drops of SSKI daily if you use that form. Several brands are Lugol’s and Iosol.
Iodine kills viruses. You can nebulize into nose and mouth as it is a powerful
infection fighter. And it coats receptors in your lungs to help kill viruses. You can
also spray it on your hands as a sanitizer or wash your veggies in a dilute solution.

LifeOne is a specialized combination of natural herbal ingredients in liquid form –

a liposomal delivery system that bypasses the digestive system and directly enters
the lymphatic and blood stream. This is important because people with cancer
often have trouble with nutrient absorption. Dr. James Howenstine, a brilliant
researcher and M.D., developed this formula using very powerful herbal immune
boosters. LifeOne’s mechanisms of action involve mobilization of killer
lymphocytes to attack malignant cells and repair the damaged immune system.

Lung Tonic - developed by Dr Richard Schulze. Helps open up the air passageways.
https://www.herbdoc.com/lung-tonic Out of stock as of 2/22/20 but they have a
waiting list. One of the best lung tonics from a master herbalist I have followed for
20+ years.

Melatonin – without going into all the research into the cause of a certain type of
inflammation with the Covid-19 virus, the end result is that it causes a spike in the
inflammation cytokine storm, or rapid increase in inflammation that results in the
airways clogging up. In other terms, this is NLRP3 inflammation which induces the
pro-inflammatory cytokine storm. Melatonin is a potent inhibitor of NLRP3
inflammasomes! This puts melatonin in a unique position in the fight against Covid-
19. In other words this means that if a patient of any age has adequate melatonin,
the infectiousness of Covid-19 will be greatly reduced, and the chances of
developing ARDS/ALI (acute respiratory distress syndrome/acute lung injury)
significantly diminished. Children have high levels of melatonin, whereas levels
greatly diminish with age. This probably is why elderly people are more susceptible
to the inflammation cytokine storms that lead to death.

21
Editor’s note: both nitric oxide and ascorbic acid inhibit NLRP inflammasomes. The
combined use of ascorbic acid and melatonin may prove to be most effective in
the treatment of Covid-19 patients, especially those with cardiovascular and
hypertension comorbidities.
Dose: Younger people can take the low end of the range, which is: 0.2-0.5 mg. Take
it at night 1-2 hours before sleep and 2-3 hours after your last meal. To be most
effective, try to finish eating before it is dark; this is when your circadian rhythm
starts to set and melatonin levels rise. More is NOT better with melatonin!!
HOWEVER, if you are infected with Covid-19, the rules change and the dosage
range is 5-50 mg, the lower end being for people with mild or no symptoms and
the higher range for older people or those with more severe symptoms. Warning:
If you are taking ACE inhibitors, have cardiac conditions or hypertension, consult
your physician before taking high doses of melatonin. Melatonin may lower blood
pressure.
Divide the infection dose into daytime and nighttime doses as follows: 40% of daily
dose divided into small equal portions to be taken every two hours. Nighttime –
60% of total daily dose divided into two portions taken 2-3 hours after dinner. The
final dose at night should be completed at the latest by 10 PM.
The high doses of melatonin MUST be supported by ascorbic acid in order to get
the full benefit of the melatonin. Ascorbic acid dose if you are infected: 1 gram
every 15-30 minutes depending on severity of symptoms. Increase to 2 grams every
15-30 minutes if symptoms are not reversed within 12-24 hours.
Warning: If you are diabetic, or have insulin resistance, DO NOT TAKE MELATONIN
before 3 PM as it is able to suppress insulin.

Mucolyxir is a homeopathic liquid form of DNA that is taken sublingually and helps
dissolve airway-blocking mucus. Mucolyxir was originally developed to treat lung
problems common to cystic fibrosis. It is an expectorant and also signals the
immune system to decrease the production of mucus. The mucus comes as the
immune system’s response to the bacterial infection. Both the infection and the
immune system’s response lead to more mucus as the body fights off the invaders,
and it turns into a vicious cycle. The only way to resolve this cycle is to break it, and

22
this is where Mucolyxir comes into play. It breaks the cycle so that the immune
system no longer produces excess mucus, AND it helps clear mucus from the
airways, making it easier to breathe.

NAC (N-acetyl-L-cysteine) – Dr. Jonathan Wright recommends 500 mg 3/x/da

to loosen thick, bronchial secretions. He also recommends taking 30 mg
of zinc picolinate and 2 mg of copper sebacate if you take NAC for more than a
few months. Take the zinc and copper (and NAC) separately, as they will bind
together and be excreted. NAC, an antioxidant, reduces inflammation in the
airways, is a pre-cursor to glutathione, and has been used for chronic bronchitis
for nearly 40 years.

Oil of oregano (don’t mix this up with oregano essential oil) is a powerful
antioxidant, anti-viral and more. Here is a brand I like:
https://www.amazon.com/North-American-Herb-Spice-0-45-
Ounce/dp/B00012NJ4G

Olive leaf extract is a powerful anti-viral

Sambucol ®, a product made from elderberry extract, has been used to shorten
colds and flus. It interferes with the glycoproteins HA and N and can be strongly
anti-viral, preventing viral particles from attaching to healthy cells. Sambucol
works by interfering with HA and N on the coating of the viral spikes, thereby
preventing adhesion to normal cells. It has proven to reduce the duration of colds
and flus by several days and helps reduce fever.

23
 Seanol, considered a flavonoid, is a standardized complex of 13 active fractions of
polyphenols/phlorotannins which are extracted from red and brown algae. Its
three key functions are:

• a powerful antioxidant and helps lower oxidative stress

• reduces inflammation by inhibiting pro-inflammatory enzymes
• improves blood circulation, blood viscosity, and quality of blood by reducing LDL
cholesterol and triglycerides

Initial studies have shown Seanol greatly reduces inflammation in the lungs and
frees them of mucus and has the potential to prevent or reverse the chronic
progression of asthma and possibly other COPD conditions.

Quercetin - the flavonoid quercetin has shown remarkable properties in

keeping rhinovirus from replicating and causing inflammation in the airways, a
very significant factor in aiding breathing. In addition, it is a powerful antioxidant
and anti-inflammatory.

Sulforaphane – there is a brand new product out called BrocElite that helps fight
inflammation in the body and is especially helpful with inflammation in the lungs.
BrocElite helps the body detoxify from glyphosate (Roundup) that is so devastating
to the functioning of many of the body’s systems. BrocElite “wakes up” over 200
genes that help the body function better. This is an important product if you are
experiencing lung inflammation. https://brocelite.com/

Thymus Gland Support

Thymic protein A – your thymus gland is the central control organ of the immune
system. It reaches peak performance at puberty and declines over time. As the
gland atrophies the immune system declines in strength. GT-cells migrate from the
bone marrow to the thymus gland where they differentiate into different type of

24
immune cells. T-cells are the regulators of cell-mediated immunity and can up-
regulate the immune system to guard against infections, and can down-regulate
the immune response in cases of autoimmune overactivation.
The thymus gland, which sits in the chest cavity, is the central organ for creating
the immune system. Unfortunately, it is one of the first of the body’s tissues to
degenerate with age. Without a fully functioning thymus gland, the immune system
will be hard pressed to produce enough infection-fighting cells. In 2000 the author
of this protocol learned a technique to jump-start the thymus gland from a 50-year
practitioner of natural medicine: with your index finger or its knuckle, rhythmically
tap the bone between your breasts. This should be a good thumping sound, but
don’t do it too hard so that it hurts. Do this 10 times; repeat. Repeat 3-5 times a
day. Validating this process, Melbourne’s Monash University’s Department of
Pathology and Immunology announced in 2003 that they were able to jump-start
the thymus gland with an implant. Initial results were remarkable. In one set of
patients there was a 50% increase in the number of new T (immune) cells created.

Zinc is the most important mineral to the thymus gland. Zinc supplements can
reverse dysfunction and rejuvenate this gland. In addition, zinc is one of the key
nutrients needed for DNA reproduction and repair. Take 50 mg daily.

Animal extracts and synthetic thymic hormones have demonstrated the ability to
dramatically reverse thymic atrophy and restore levels of immunity to youthful
levels.
There are at least two products that have proven beneficial: Dr. Burgstiner's
Complete Thymic Formula (http://www.thymic.com ) and BioPro Thymic
Protein A. This is a patented product. For information on BioPro:

Turmeric - turmeric and its main component, curcumin, is not easily absorbed. Here
is a product that uses a special fermentation process to make the product more
bioavailable: https://shop.organixx.com/products/turmeric-3d This is a major anti-
inflammatory, and will be helpful fighting inflammation caused by the virus.
PuraThrive makes a liposomal turmeric and other liposomal products. This product
is up to 20x more bioavailable than regular turmeric. https://purathrive.com/

5. Therapies That Will Be Helpful

Acupressure – there are several acupressure points that boost the immune system.
Here is one you can implement easily right now by yourself: This acu-point is called
‘Outer Gate’ (SJ 5); Location: On the back of the hand, measure two thumb-widths
(2 cm) above the wrist crease. In between the two forearm bones (Ulna & Radius
bones). You can find pix on Google.

Directions: Apply firm pressure for 1 – 2 minutes. Once or twice a day (or more if
you like). Breathe deeply through the nose and exhale through the mouth as you
apply. Note: using either arm is fine.

Aromatherapy can be very helpful in fighting viruses and infections, among other
benefits. Essential oils used in aromatherapy are concentrated plant compounds
that have been processed to produce their benefits.

The use of essential oils for various health conditions is a huge topic, so we are
offering just a smattering here; do your own research.

Essential oils can be added to a little roller bottle to carry with you; a few (2-3)
drops can be added to a handkerchief to be smelled periodically; they can be added
to a steam inhalation remedy to clear the lungs described in detail in How to Clear
the Lungs Section (#6) below; they can be used as body rubs and so many more
uses. Often oils are combined to help a specific health problem. Caution: don’t use
them directly on your skin as they are very strong; add them to a carrier oil such as
jojoba, olive, coconut, olive, avocado, etc.

26
Here are a few of the most beneficial essential oils, but there are many others.

Frankincense is the star player of the essential oils team when it comes to
boosting the immune system. Others provide health benefits, too:

Eucalyptus helps open up airways, thereby improving bronchial restriction; is a

good expectorant

Ginger reduces mucus and inflammation of the respiratory system

Lemon (and other citruses) is a natural disinfectant and can fight bacteria in the
home and on the body

Oregano has powerful antibiotic capabilities

Peppermint cleanses the lungs and opens up bronchial passages; it is a good

expectorant

Tea tree helps with congestion and respiratory infections

Thyme helps clean lungs for healthier respiratory function

Chiropractic/osteopathic adjustment will improve the nervous system, which, in

turn, will help the immune system function better.

Halotherapy – also known as Salt Therapy or Speleotherapy, uses a dry micro

aerosol salt mist that is inhaled. This therapy was first identified in the mid-
18th century in Poland when a health official noticed that workers in salt mines
didn’t have lung diseases. As a result salt sanatoriums sprang up in Eastern Europe.
Halotherapy developed into a successful treatment for asthma, chronic
bronchitis and the full range of upper and lower respiratory tract conditions. This
is an important therapy for pregnant women with respiratory diseases since there
are no side effects and can be used without harm to the unborn baby.

Clinical studies have shown salt therapy to have bactericide and anti-
inflammatory properties, and, by absorbing edema from the mucosa lining the

27
airway passages, it widens these passages, restoring normal transport of mucus and
unclogging bronchi.

Resources: https://www.salinetherapy.com/ and https://theportablesaltcave.com/

Hydrotherapy – the use of hot and cold compresses or showers will help stimulate
the immune system. When you expose the body to cold water, your blood vessels
constrict moving blood to your internal organs. Hot water does the opposite. It
causes blood vessels to dilate, which flushes waste from the tissues. When you
alternate between the two, circulation moves in and out, which increases blood
flow, improves detoxification, increases energy and helps with nutrient delivery.
Start with a hot shower; then after a few minutes try a blast of cold water for as
long as you can stand it; do this several times. You will be able to do it more once
you have become accustomed to it. You will find it invigorating!
If you have a sauna, take a cold shower several times during your session for the
same effect.

Hydrogen Peroxide Therapy - two forms of oxygen therapy are the use
of hydrogen peroxide and ozone (ozone therapy). These therapies are not
sanctioned by the main stream medical community, but they work well in many
cases. Ozone therapy, for instance, was developed in Germany more than 100 years
ago, and has been used successfully to treat many health conditions.

IV hydrogen peroxide is one of the most powerful treatments for clogged bronchial
passageways to fight off pneumonia! It acts quickly to remove built-up mucus.

Using intravenous hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) for asthma and other forms of COPD
has been written about for many years in natural medicine literature. Both Dr.
William Campbell Douglass, M.D. and Dr. Richard Schulze, among others, have
described its uses in cases of asthma, bronchitis and emphysema with quite
remarkable results. As described by Dr. William Campbell Douglass in his book
Hydrogen Peroxide Medical Miracles “The oxygen seeps into the air pockets under
the mucous layer and literally bubbles the mucous up the respiratory passages. The
rising mucous irritates the bronchial passage, causing a cough which acts as a

28
booster rocket, and so, out comes the junk.” We suggest that you contact ACAM –
the American College for the Advancement of Medicine – at 800-532-3688 – or visit
their website http://www.acam.org - and ask them for a doctor near you who
practices alternative medicine.

One anecdotal report of recovery from pneumonia used 10 drops of 35% H2O2 in
a glass of water three times over a 24 hour period. Note: if a 6% H2O2 solution is
used, it takes 6 drops to equal one drop of 35% H2O2 solution. For oral use, ½
teaspoon of 6% H2O2 contains the equivalent of about 7 drops of 35% H2O2
solution.

One possible way to improve COPD is to use hydrogen peroxide in a nebulizer. We

read about someone who had used 35% food grade H2O2 in his nebulizer (not sure
of the mixture) in the morning and evening and had totally gotten off his 24/7
oxygen. This seems very strong and normally H2O2 is diluted. The drug store variety
is only 3% If you are interested in trying this therapy, we suggest finding a doctor
who is knowledgeable about it. Experimenting on one’s own can be dangerous!

Hyperbaric oxygen (HBOT) therapy will be very critical if you become infected with
the virus as it gets oxygen into the lungs. HBOT can increase the oxygen-tissue
levels at least 12 times that of normal sea level oxygenation. Get at least three
treatments in a week at 1.68 atmospheres. This was the level successfully used to
kill the Spanish Flu. Unfortunately there aren’t many hyperbaric chambers available
for general use, so check your city. This should be one of the first lines of defense!
In the alternative, you can use an ozone generator (see below).
To find a practitioner of HBOT in your area, contact:
https://www.hyperbaricmedicineinternational.org/professional-practices
There are several oxidative medicine associations.

Insulin Potentiation Therapy, known as IPT, is a very interesting and powerful

therapy. When virtually any medication is given along with insulin, the effect of
the medication is significantly enhanced. This therapy was discovered in the early
1920s by Dr. Donato Perez Garcia, Sr. and has been used for many health

29
conditions, but primarily as an adjunct therapy to chemotherapy. It has been used
successfully for conditions associated with COPD, such as asthma, allergic
bronchitis and emphysema, as well as many, many others. For a comprehensive
list of doctors who practice IPT, go to http://www.iptforcancer.com/

Ozone therapy – this is one you can do at home. Need to buy an ozone generator.
Treatments only take a few minutes. Ozone therapy is commonly used for viral
infections, bacterial infections, Lyme, cancer, autoimmune disease, and
preventative care/general wellness.
It works by stimulating mild oxidative stress in the body, triggering the NRF-2
pathway. This is the same pathway that is activated during exercise and fasting. It
stimulates the body into a health and optimization mode that helps to eradicate
disease and improve bodily functions on a cellular level.
Here is a kit from a trusted source: https://www.simplyo3.com/products/basic-
coronakit?inf_contact_key=52c615dfd60bd576d0023bcaf7118209680f8914173f9
191b1c0223e68310bb1 But there are many other resources.

Sauna therapy – sauna therapy will increase your body temperature from 1-4
degrees. For every one degree rise in body temperature your immune antibodies
double. Sauna therapy improves oxygenation in several ways: more blood flows to
the lungs and skin; more blood is pumped through the entire body; clearing
bronchial and lung infections and congestion may also increase oxygenation. Blood
carries vital oxygen throughout the body which is important in fighting the virus
and subsequent bacterial infections. The Heat Shock Proteins (HSPs) created using
a sauna are antiviral. HSPs enhance the immune system and improve cellular
energy production, respiration, elimination and other cell functions. Saunas
powerfully move blood throughout the body, thereby reducing congestion in the
liver, kidneys and other organs. This is very important and helps the body remove
metabolic waste created by illness. Use the sauna for 30-60 minutes several times
a week. You can increase its effectiveness if you take a cold shower part way
through the session (basically the same principle as hydrotherapy). There are near
and far infrared saunas, but due to the rapid spread of the virus you can use

30
whichever one is most available. They have different modes of use for healing, but
that isn’t as important as just using one now. Since the Covid-19 virus appears not
to be very heat resistant, sauna therapy may be one of the best therapies available.
Start using a sauna NOW to ramp up your immune system!

6. How to Clear Your Lungs

One of the remedies I like best is cheap, readily available, and gives rapid results:
steam inhalation. What this does and why it is so important with pneumonia and
congested lungs, is that it helps reduce inflammation in your air passage ways and
loosens mucus so that it can be expectorated.
1) Take a cup of water, bring it to a boil, reduce to simmer; get a towel and
place it over your head, forming a tent; bend over the steam and breathe
deeply into your lungs, alternating by breathing through your nose so the
steam gets deep into your sinuses. Do this for 10 minutes and repeat every
few hours; adjust schedule according to severity of symptoms.
2) For another variation of this, add a teaspoon (or more) of salt to the water
and follow the directions above. Salt has medicinal properties and will
enhance this therapy.
3) The best method is to use apple cider vinegar (ACV) in place of water. NOT
the vinegar you put on salad, but the kind you can buy at a health food
store or some grocery stores. Buy at least 16 ounces. ACV has many
nutrients that will get into your lungs and help reduce inflammation and
loosen the mucus.
4) Essential oils - Another way to use this method is to add 10-15 drops of one
of the essential oils mentioned in the Aromatherapy Section above or the
Dry Cough Section below to a cup of boiling water and follow the
instructions in #1 above. Essential oils are very effective for lung conditions!

31
7. What To Do If You Have a Cough
• Breathe the steam from a vaporizer, hot shower, or pan of boiling water. The
moist air will soothe the airways and loosen sinus congestion and phlegm in your
throat and lungs. A few drops of the oil of eucalyptus will help this process.

• Elevate the head of your bed. This will allow your sinuses and nasal passages to
drain better and not create that "tickle" in your throat.

• Stop smoking. Passive smoke or other irritants, such as chemicals, can be a

cause. Household cleaners, new carpeting, paneling and mattresses are some of
the many possible sources of chemical irritants.

• Drink at least 8 eight ounce glasses of water. This is especially important if your
cough is due to an illness. Water is the best expectorant you can take and will
help thin the mucus and loosen the cough.

• Do not use over-the-counter expectorant cough remedies as they just suppress

the symptoms and do not address the underlying problem. If you have the kind of
cough with mucus you want to get it out of your respiratory system, not suppress
it. Try one of the natural expectorant remedies below.

• Try eating hot chili peppers, horseradish or other spicy foods. They will help
loosen mucus.

• During the winter, if your house is dry, use a humidifier and a cool-mist
vaporizer in your bedroom at night. This will help thin the mucus. Be sure to
thoroughly clean the vaporizer, as it can harbor bacteria.

• Drink hot tea to break up the mucus and open and moisten the airways.

• Cough drops or hard candy will help stop the tickle if you have a dry cough and
will moisten the throat.

• Avoid foods that increase the production of mucus, such as dairy products, meat
and fried foods.

• Hot packs placed on your throat and chest are very soothing.

32
8. What To Do If You Have a Dry Cough
A dry cough will be raspy and without phlegm and may be due to smoking, asthma,
dust, foreign matter, pollution, or come after a sore throat. Another cause of your
dry cough could be a climate-controlled building. The heating and cooling systems
dry the air and your respiratory membranes, too. Rapid temperature and humidity
changes upon entering a building add to the problem. Chronic coughing, sneezing
and a runny nose may be the result. If you work in a climate-controlled building,
avoid cold drinks and food as they interfere with your body's ability to maintain its
optimal temperature. During the air-conditioning season cold foods and drinks
affect your body's temperature and its ability to adjust to the building's conditions;
instead drink hot liquids and eat warm foods. When your building is heated, drink
fluids at room temperature. You want to soothe the mucus membranes and
moisturize your throat.

Inhaling steam from a pan with one of the essential oils mentioned below added is
particularly helpful with dry coughs.

The use of inhaled steam can be very effective in liquefying mucus and reducing
irritation. To control the steam, bend over the steaming water while holding a
towel over your head. Try some of these aromatherapy oils. Inhaling essential oils
can stimulate your lungs to expel phlegm.

Cypress Add three drops each of cypress and juniper oil and a drop of ginger.

Cedar Dilute 3 drops of oil of cedar in one teaspoon of carrier oil, such as olive,
sweet almond or jojoba, and massage onto your chest several times a day.

• Add 10-15 drops to a pot of steaming water and inhale the vapors

Eucalyptus Add a few drops of eucalyptus to a carrier oil and rub on your chest.

• Put 10-15 drops of oil in boiling water and inhale the steam. Eucalyptus is a good
decongestant and expectorant. You can also add three drops of hyssop oil.

Jasmine Use the oil in a burner or put a few drops on a handkerchief and inhale the
fumes.

33
Myrrh Add a few drops of myrrh to a carrier oil and rub on your chest. This will help
reduce mucus.

Peppermint Dilute 3 drops of peppermint oil in one teaspoon of carrier oil, such as
olive, sweet almond or jojoba, and massage onto your chest several times a day.

• Add 10-15 drops to a pot of steaming water and inhale the vapors.

Pine Put some essential pine oil in a burner to soothe the throat. You can also place
a few drops on a handkerchief and inhale the fumes.

Thyme Add 10-15 drops of this oil in a pan of boiling water and inhale the fumes,
in an infuser, or place a few drops on a handkerchief and inhale.

• Massaging using oil of thyme may also be helpful in relieving your cough. Put 5
drops in 1/4 cup olive oil and massage your neck and upper body. Thyme is an
excellent expectorant and has been used for centuries to heal respiratory
conditions.

Here are some remedies to deal with a dry cough:

Aloe vera juice Mix equal parts of aloe vera juice and honey and take a tablespoon
or two as needed. Good for a smoker's cough.

Apple cider vinegar Sprinkle apple cider vinegar on your pillowcase before
bedtime.

• Put 1 or 2 teaspoons of vinegar in a glass of water and keep beside your bed to
use when you feel the tickling sensation coming on. Take a few swallows as needed.
Vinegar dissolves mucus and reduces inflammation.

• Mix 1/2 cup of honey with 3-4 tablespoons of vinegar. Take one tablespoon
before going to bed or during a coughing fit, and throughout the day, as needed.
Stir well before use.

Comfrey Take a comfrey tea for dry persistent coughs. Comfrey should not be
taken for long term use as it may cause liver damage.

34
Codonopsis root Use a decoction, tincture or powder for chronic coughs.

Garlic Mince a clove of garlic and place in a small bowl; cover with honey and cover
the bowl with plastic wrap; marinate overnight. Take one tablespoonful upon
awakening, then throughout the day, as needed.

Honey Add a tablespoon of honey to a glass of boiling water and drink as needed.
This will soothe the throat.

Horehound lozenges help suppress a dry cough.

Licorice root Take 5 grams of powdered root with honey three times a day. You can
also make a decoction by using 1/2 teaspoon to one cup of water. Take three cups
daily. Licorice has soothing and anti-inflammatory properties, and is an
expectorant. Do not use if you have high blood pressure.

Tea Make a tea of wild cherry bark, slippery elm or red clover. Sweeten with honey.

Zinc lozenges are helpful.

Homeopathy

Antimonium tart Is to be used if the cough is loose and rattling with little or no
phlegm and breathing is painful.

Bryonia Use when a cold has gone to the chest and turned in to a hard, dry cough.

Drosera Use for a cough after which you have a whooping sound or with vomiting.

Ferrum phos. Is beneficial for a hard, dry cough with a tickle.

9. See Your Dr. When...

If you have any of the following conditions along with your cough, see your doctor
without delay because you may have an infection, or the cough may indicate the
presence of a more serious health condition.

35
• Your cough doesn't get better after a few days. Coughing can lead to fractured
ribs or a heart attack.

• You cough up blood or bloody mucus.

• Your mucus is yellow, brown or green and does not improve in a few days. This
will indicate that you have an infection.

• If you cough for more than three days for no apparent reason.

Or, if you have:

• Shortness of breath when you cough.

• Sharp pains in your chest when you cough.

• A fever along with a persistent cough. This could be indicative of a serious

respiratory illness. If you have a high fever and difficulty breathing you may have
pneumonia.

• Chest pain

• Persistent chills

• Excessive night sweats

• Laryngitis and a persistent cough that lasts for more than three weeks.

• A skin rash, earache, pain in the teeth or sinuses, or a headache.
