Here are the protocols at my home: 1) At the first frost or a bit later, everyone in the family gets their own bottle of echinacea tincture. The whole 2 oz. (use this for dosage 2 ounces per 150 pounds of body weight) is consumed over a day (if you are preggers, as my wife currently is, then over a week). This is alot of echinacea. But it will be a boost and one for a season. 2) At the first sign of a cold, flu, etc, put hydrogen peroxide 3% drops in the ears. We will also do this as a prophylaxis when the season begins as above as it is harmless and cleans the ear. The same goes for muttly--no one is brave enough to do the cat. 3) We conduct a Fall house cleaning (as in a Spring clean)--we're looking for the decadence where molds and other pestilences dwell). 4) We just carry on normally with our diet. We eat mostly raw foods, organic and as locally produced and in season as possible. We'll continue this as much as possible and are generally pass the winter with ease with this regiment. We have wheatgrass and we sprout nuts and seeds. And sea veggies are at every meal. Diet is the most important part of being well. We have not laid anything down nor canned or preserved any veggies and fruits for winter but we will next season and will with what is left of the year. This seems a good idea with a lesser variety of organic produce in the winter. We have always done alright eating with the seasons, but I am thinking more fruits. Fortunately cirtrus comes in season later in the winter; unfortunately, citrus is not a local food for us. 5) A liver cleanse. I do this; my wife and M-i-L don't. In 1983, I made a cold/flu remedy that worked real well for me. Equal parts of echinacea, goldenseal, cayenne, and ginger. Take about a 1/4 teaspoon of this with a 1/2 crushed clove of garlic every 1-2 hours. It relieved symptoms in 24 hours. However, this is hard to take. Disease has a huge mental and spiritual aspect. Keep good spirits and seek the light, the humour, and the joy of life. -- The silver-list is a moderated forum for discussion of colloidal silver.
