favorite if you want to follow Hippocrates and let thy food by thy
medicine! Add herbs to the healthy foods you put on your table to

cabinet with dietary supplements and essential oils.

Antibiotics have no effect on viruses, but thankfully there are
foods, dietary supplements and, and essential oils you can use to
improve your overall vitality. Stockpile the super immunity
boosters.

Here's a list of super immunity boosters:

Immunity Booster #1: Thieves Oil.
When a prepper or homesteader thinks of germ fighters, the go to
in essential oils is
thieves oil. It's the top prepper essential oil to
own! Thieves oil is actually a blend of several immune-boosting
essential oils. It smells a bit like potpourri in that it combines
essential oils of Cinnamon, Clove, Eucalyptus, Lemon and
Rosemary to boost the immune system and help fight oncoming
illness*.

Well known for its dietary, aromatic, or topical use, Thieves Oil
by Young Living Essential Oils was
tested at Weber State
University, Ogden, Utah, and found to be effective against
airborne bacteria! During the 15th-century plague, thieves used
an oil of cloves, rosemary, and other aromatics to protect
themselves while robbing plague victims.

In the
Survival Medicine Handbook: A Guide for When Help is Not
on the Way
, by Joseph Alton M.D. and Amy Alton ARNP, they
recommend stocking Thieves Oil! (Page 78.) for upper respiratory
infections.

Essential oils are not a magical potion, but a tried and true
prescription for health! Knowledge of essential oils has been
passed on since antiquity, but only recently gaining popularity in
the mainstream. You'll find research on essential oils in pubmed.
So go ahead and diffuse essential oils, rub them in your feet and
on rare occasion take them internally under the advice of a
aromatherapy practioner. It's true that essential oils can do
wonders to boost immunity and regain vitality. Among the top
essentials oils for their immune boosting strength are eucalyptus,

peppermint essential oil
, tea tree, thyme, and lavender.

Immunity Booster #2: Black Elderberry Syrup.
Black elderberry is a well known antiviral and super immunity
booster. Black elderberries have, for centuries, been credited with
immune supportive properties and most recently with support for
the Swine Flu. Don't confuse elderberry with elderflower. The
berries and flowers are rich in flavonoids, which are believed to
provide its therapeutic effects and are bursting anthocyanins that
defend cells against the effects of oxidation.

What's more, elderberries contain heart healthy nutrients like
phosphorus and potassium, two essential nutrients for vascular
health and cardiovascular function. Black Elderberry Syrup,
pictured right,
Nature's Way Sambucus has been virologist tested
as a natural and effective way to fight viral infections.

Immunity Booster #3: Boiron Oscillococcinum.
Boiron Oscillococcinum is a homeopathic product for Flu-like
Symptoms, pictured right. Oscillococcinum works naturally with
your body to temporarily relieve flu-like symptoms, such as
fatigue, headache, body aches, chills and fever. Oscillo has been
shown in clinical studies to help reduce both the duration and the
severity of flu-like symptoms. It does not cause drowsiness or
interact with other medications.

Best of all, Oscillo’s sweet-tasting pellets dissolve quickly under
the tongue; no water, chewing or swallowing is required.
Recommended for everyone ages 2 and up, Oscillococcinum works
best when taken at the first sign of flu-like symptoms.

Immunity Booster #4: Celery seeds.
Celery is an unassuming super immunity booster in your kitchen
cupboard. It's loaded with antioxidants. You may want to sprinkle

antiseptic to kill germs and improve circulation. Do not eat celery
seeds intended for planting as they likely have chemically
treated. Right are organic whole celery seeds by Frontier.

    whole celery seeds found in the spice section of your grocery
    store, also pictured right. Crush seeds with a mortar and

    20 minutes before straining and drinking. You can drink
    celery seed tea three times per day.

    seeds because of the blood-thinning capabilities of celery
    seed; as well people with kidney problems should avoid
    celery seed.

Immunity Booster #5: Colloidal silver.

preppers go to great lengths to make their own colloidal silver.
You don't need to make your own.
Sovereign Silver, pictured right,
is the best selling
colloidal silver and for good reason. It's loaded
with immune-boosting power! While one teaspoon per day is
perfect for daily immune support, there will be times you will
want to take silver up to 7x/day. Only 10 ppm can safely be taken
that often.

Immunity Boosting Vitamins.
Vitamins themselves aren't a natural immunity booster, but you
can find vitamins with natural ingredients and you can look for
these vitamins to boost your health.

Let Food Be Thy Medicine!
Preventing cold and flu is about prevention. Most people know
about Vitamin C, the video below shares five lesser know foods
to keep your immune system strong:

  • Carotenoids: Carotenoids are a family of vitamins found in
    brightly colored vegtables, bell peppers, kale,  sweet
    potatoes, boost natural killer cells that emit toxins and
    destroy bad bacteria that make you sick. They also are great
    sources of vitamin C.

  • Probiotics:  Your bacteria influences your immune system
    and probiotics can help influence your immune system
    positively! Probiotics include, kefir, kimchi (fermented
    cabbage), miso paste, and tempe. Since 70-80% of your
    immune system lives in your gut, it's only natural that you  
    look to probiotics for boosting immunity.


  • Vitamin C. Vitamin C should be taken in divided doses
    throughout the day. When individual doses exceed 500 mg,
    more of the Vitamin is excreted in the urine and thus may be
    wasted. Vitamin C works by stimulating the immune system
    and protecting against damage from the free radicals.

  • Calcium with Vitamin D. "Deficiency in vitamin D is
    associated with increased autoimmunity as well as an
    increased susceptibility to infection," according to an
    abstract on Vitamin D and the Immune System, by Cynthia
    Aranow, MD, Investigator. Another supporter of the idea
    comes from the Harvard Health Publications, trusted advice
    for a healthier life, from the Harvard Medical School. Read
    more in How to Boost your Immune system.

  • Berberine Plus. Immune support in a capsule, you will find  
    herbs such as amaranth, chaparral, goldenseal, oregon
    grapefruit, and philodendron in Berberine Plus.

  • Vitamin D. Identify the bad bacteria and viruses. It helps to
    boost the immune system before you get sick. Unfortunately,
    there aren't many food options with Vitamin D, but the two
    easy foods that come to mind are eggs and salmon. Think
    canned salmon, sardines and powdered eggs for your food
    storage. Supplementation is also a good option.

  • Zinc. Zinc influences your immune cell function. Asparagus,
    mushrooms, red meat, and spinach. Dietary supplements are
    also helpful.
