These are not the “good old days”. These are the days after HIV, AIDS, West Nile Virus, Lyme Disease, Anthrax, SARS and yes, 9/11…. the beginning of a new dawn. These are the days when we have to be prepared for very serious health challenges in our society. As a health care practitioner of 17 years, I am concerned for the wellbeing of my clients, my loved ones and all of you who are reading this. We must face the continuing possibility of bioterrorism, as a very real threat. Cipro, the answer to Anthrax exposure is being stored by many, it had been predicted that within a year and a half of use, Cipro would have very little effect on anthrax or any other problem. That has already come to pass. What to do then? Happily, there’s plenty that we can do for ourselves.

One of the best things that people can do to prepare for bioterrorism, as well as new strains of viruses, is to make sure their immune systems are functioning at top efficiency. Although there is no single magic bullet, here are a few key elements to work with: Eat a good, healthy diet, reduce stress with plenty of rest, exercise, massage, and chiropractic care. There are wonderful essential oils and oil based products available that can boost your immune system tremendously! Medicinal or therapeutic strength essential oils will help when in a high risk area like airline travel, business conferences, and places where concentrations of people are. Essential oils can create an environment where virus’ and deadly bacteria would have a hard time staying alive. A special blend of spice oils with a kill rate of 99.97% for airborne bacteria is always good to have in your pocket, Oregano, Frankincense and several others all help boost immune function. These are all simple but powerful things to do for yourself and your family. There’s no drama to it, and its not inconvenient or difficult, its just simply taking conscious action to make a stand. Your immune system is a very powerful defense system if you just give it a fighting chance!
