_______________________________________________

Be prepared – build your immunity

A healthy body has the ability to fight a virus and recover in full, with a healthy immune system.

Your attitude and stress level will determine your body’s response to any virus or illness.

Chronic stress or fear shuts down the immune system.

Ignore social media and individuals that create fear.

Focus on your personal faith. Read and proclaim your “spiritual truths” on a daily basis to build your faith.

Check medical facts from independent researchers or platforms on Covid-19 information and vaxination. Some recommended sources:

* Dr Rashid Buttar

* Dr Zach Bush

* Bruce Lipton

* Robert F Kennedy Jnr

* London Real – independent interviews

Use nature’s immunity BOOSTERS:

Hydrate: Without hydration, immunity cannot be boosted

Drink 350 ml of pure, mineralised water per kg bodyweight per day.

Increase your oxygen intake:

Do deep breathing exercises during the day – outdoors is even better!

Eat green vegetables.

Exercise minimum 3 x per week.

pH control:

Quit smoking, reduce coffee and sugar intake and increase daily intake of green leafy vegetables, natural lemon juice, turmeric and cinnamon.

Good nutrition – vitamins and minerals:

Eat fresh fruit and vegetables, preferably fruit in season and from your own garden. Make meat stock from bones, and drink a cup of it daily or use it to cook soup.

Absorption of nutrients:

Eat thoughtfully and with gratitude!

Exercise:

Walk for 30 minutes per day. Do interval exercises at home of 10 seconds, working up to 20 seconds high-impact and 10 to 20 seconds low-impact exercises. Do this 3 times, rest for 2 minutes in-between sets of 3 and repeat the process 3 times.

Rest well:

Go to bed before 22:00.  Sleep* for 7-9 hours. Check our guidelines for healthy sleep hygiene.

Sunlight and fresh air:

Be outside for 30 minutes per day with skin exposed and without glasses or contact lenses. Protect your face and eyes with a hat.

EMF damage:

Reduce contact with cell phones, television and electronics as much as possible. Put your phone in flight mode at night or at least 2 meters from yourself. Do not charge your phone or electronics in the room where you sleep.

Protect your digestive system:

Eat good food, eat thoughtfully and chew until the food becomes liquid! Avoid sugar and refined starches

Fresh lemon juice in the morning and as a last drink late in the afternoon can keep your body alkaline through the night.

Try to fast for at least 12-16 hours every day (drink only water) to give your body enough time to focus on its immune responses. Try not to snack between meals.

Reduce toxins:

Drink purified water, replace deodorants with natural options, and avoid using perfume, hair spray, nail polish removers, insecticides, etc., that contain synthetic ingredients or dangerous preservatives. The general rule is: If it smells strong, it may be dangerous!

Emotional health:

• Deal with the problems in your life that cause stress!
• Deal with your resentments. Forgive, let go and let God!
• Live in love and gratitude, and share your stories of gratitude with others.
• Serve and encourage others without exposing yourself.
• Laugh a lot!
• Focus on the positive and most likely realities.
• Cope with your fears, uncertainties and worries by renewing your thinking. Meditate 5 minutes per day on promises from the Word that refute your fears; it has a direct effect on your physical health.

Recommended support and supplements for a healthy immune system:

Ivermectin:

It has been proven effective in the prevention or treatment of Covid-19. If you choose this as an option, consider getting it with a prescription from your medical practitioner, as the option from your veterinarian contains several added substances that may cause allergic reactions or have negative side effects. Take care to use the correct dosage. Get safe guidelines from www.FLCCC  or Dr Anton’s channel on Telegram.

Covid-preventative drops:       

A homeopathic blend that is safe for children, adults and pregnant women to use is available.

https://agape4life.com/product-tag/covid-19-prevention/

Vit C (buffered) 1000 mg 2 x per day with a full glass of water

Vit D 5000 iu per day

Zinc 20 mg 2 x per day

Omega 3, 2 x per day

Quercetin 2 x per day

Magnesium 300 mg per day

Probiotics – kefir or kombucha 3 times per week

Clove pure essential oil (1 drop under each foot per day) and Cinnamon oil supports the immune system.

Tea tree oil can be used on your mask to kill harmful bacteria you are constantly breathing out as part of a healthy detox process.

Phase 1  From 1^st symptoms till day 6 or 7

(It is possible to recover at the end of this stage)

Use Phase 1 guidelines and intensify your strategy!

(Do not use any cortisone in this phase, as it will activate the virus to multiply uncontrollably)

Choose LIFE!

Check your attitude and thought pattern. Stay positive and focus on your personal faith statements. What you believe and think moment by moment WILL shift your body towards either healing or illness. Your mind is critical in winning Covid-19. Check in with the Wellness line if you need any support.

Lower any stress and anxiety!

See the comments in Phase 1 and check in with the Wellness line if you need any support.

Kill the virus

The right attitude, a healthy immune system and supplement support are recommended  – especially if you are in the high-risk group.

Gargle and steam with saline solution and nanosilver water. You can add a pure essential oil to get rid of the virus. Tea tree, eucalyptus and oregano are good options. One drop of high-quality essential oil is enough to make a difference.

Detoxify

Stop your intake of sugars, refined starch, dairy products, coffee, red meat and alcohol for a minimum of 2 weeks or until your symptoms clear up.

Rest

Manage oxygen levels

• Manage your anxiety levels by healthy thinking and faith proclamations, and if necessary, use natural anxiety support, e.g. lavender capsules or Rescue.
• Do 5 deep breathing exercises every 30-50 minutes, slowly breathing in through the nose and out through the mouth while feeling the tummy area moving up and down, not the chest.
• Peppermint oil – one drop per dosage can be helpful.
• Check your body position for maximum oxygen levels. See video below.
• Cellfood is a safe supplement to increase oxygen in the body. Adults start with 3 drops 3 x per day and increase to 8 drops 3 x per day (never use more than 24 drops per day). Read the pamphlet carefully.
• If possible, measure your oxygen levels with an oximeter; measure for 30 seconds at a time. If it stays lower than 90, and you cannot change it with your breathing technique, contact your medical adviser.
• A helpful video to support your breathing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mFIpBNYDuJw

Manage inflammation

Healthier options to manage inflammation have lower risk, especially for Covid-19. High dosages of turmeric and MSM are recommended.

Manage blood coagulation

Natural blood-thinning options are garlic, cinnamon, ginger, Vit E, Omega 3 and Vit D.

A quarter to a half Disprin per day (blue packet) should be enough.

Wintergreen pure essential oil (2-3 drops per day) is an adaptogen and will regulate your coagulation.

Recommended supplements:

• Drink 350 ml of liquid for every 10 kg of your bodyweight (your body loses 1,5 litres of water per 24 hours during your illness, and your immune system needs water to function properly)
• Double Ivermectin or homeopathic Covid drops
• Take Covid homeopathic drops every 2 hours for Covid-related symptoms (can be ordered online from agape4life.com/health-café)
• Vit C (buffered) 2000 mg 3 x per day with a full glass of water
• Vit D 5000 iu 1 x per day
• Zinc 20 mg 5 x per day (100 mg per day)
• Quercetin 1, 2 x per day
• Pre- and probiotics / kombucha or kefir daily
• Omega 3, 2 capsules 2 x per day
• Melatonin 9 mg per day (2 mg dose for sleep; 9 mg will not induce sleep)
• Magnesium
• Cellfood drops to increase oxygen levels in the body

Additional support as needed:

• Turmeric, frankincense and MSM for pain and inflammation, double to triple doses
• Relax the muscles and nerve system with lavender, frankincense, Rescue, camomile tea, magnesium or Epson salt bath
• Manage fever with MSM, Covid/Flu-drops, peppermint oil behind the neck area; take an Epson and bicarbonate of soda bath for a minimum of 45 minutes
• Nanosilver for nebulisation, hand sanitation and for spraying the eyes and nose
• Tea tree oil, oregano and thyme as antiviral remedy
• Frankincense to support immunity, mental fatigue, cough and breathing and to detox the body
• Frankincense, eucalyptus oil, peppermint, essential oils to relieve coughing, breathing and inhaling and to open the lungs
• Peppermint oil and, MSM for headaches
• Frankincense and copaiba and turmeric essential oils and Epson salt bath for relaxation, pain and inflammation
• Disprin or wintergreen oil for blood coagulation
• Ozone 2 x per day for 5 days on 38 degrees.

Make your home your fitness studio, exercise in the park or even better: use an “in and around the house”-route as your basic fitness programme, take up hiking as a hobby, and even consider hunting!

Artificial intelligence is becoming more trendy. The latest is the hydro rowing machine, imitating an outdoor experience while in your personal studio, for those who can afford it!

Meditation and mindfulness has become part of the new normal to improve emotional state, focus and overall wellbeing.

Bio-hacking is also becoming more and more trendy. You can add some simple changes e.g. different short interval training sessions per week and supplementing with Vit-C or NAD. For the more adventurous individuals, you can start eliminating blue light, add red light therapy in your weekly routine, start a plant based diet, or if you are ready, you can alternate an extreme hot bath and ice treatment among other experiments! Take special care when you start on this journey! There is very little research done on the possible dangers of some of the extreme bio-hacking methods, and some of the individuals on this journey, admit that they are risking their lives.

Frequency therapy (using sound, light and electromagnetic interventions). Predictions are that these therapies will become more popular in the wellness world. A real paradigm shift is under way as a result of more scientific researchers discovering the complexity of the bio field of the human body (whether from Harvard or NASA). This bio field is described as the “control central” of our physical and mental functioning. Scientists also uncovered the fact that the entire world is electro-dynamic: We are surrounded by both natural frequencies, and man-made frequencies. These man-made frequencies are ever increasing, and they have a constantly changing effect on human cells.

With COVID in our midst, we need to optimise opportunities to build a healthy immune system.

Author: Annemie Becker

With the constant rise in the Cost of Living, and even more prominent, the constant rise in medical costs, it is just not affordable to fall ill!

We have way passed the era where we can hide behind our DNA as an excuse for our ill health. Science has proven that we inherit a maximum of 8-20% of our health issues, the rest is dictated by ineffective stress management, lifestyle choices and environmental factors! We have the ability to influence the expression of our genes by the way we think and act, thereby optimising our health potential! Yes: heart diseases, strokes, type 2 diabetes, and even cancers are mostly preventable or reversible.

Warning signs to respond to: If you experience one of the following: Increased blood pressure (greater than 130/85 mmHg), high blood sugar levels (insulin resistance), excess fat around the waist, high triglyceride levels, low levels of good cholesterol (HDL) – you are at risk of a heart disease. Three or more of the above symptoms lead to a diagnosis of metabolic syndrome and indicate that you need to take serious action. Because these are lifestyle related diseases, we have the choice to change our destiny! Join our series of Disease Management workshops.

Other factors that increase your risk are: Aging, a family history of metabolic syndrome, not getting enough exercise and women who have been diagnosed with poly-cystic ovary syndrome. The standard treatment of metabolic illnesses is to lose weight, quit smoking, and exercise 30 minute a day, 5 to 7 days a week. In the US, 23% of adults currently have metabolic syndrome.

Other lifestyle related illnesses are illnesses related to addictions, obesity and cancers.

There is nothing mystical we need to know or do to become more healthy! Medical research indicates the main factors of lowering your risk for metabolic illnesses, are: Losing weight, quitting smoking, exercising, getting regular medical check-ups, and managing your symptoms.

However, more and more evidence emerges on detailed actions to take to prevent, and even to reverse metabolic and other illnesses. Some of these activities are:

• Acknowledge the scientific reality that up to 95% of our illness are driven by our own fear, guilt, shame and stress responses
• Identify the stressors in our lives and take action!
• Eliminate, lower or bypass environmental and other toxins
• Take action to let go of unproductive emotions, forgive yourself and others
• Accept that human beings make mistakes, and that includes you!
• Strive for excellence rather than perfection
• Practice breathing, mindfulness, and other techniques on a regular basis to lower your stress levels
• Defining stress as a positive driving force to reach your goals, has proven to demolish the negative impact of stress
• Get daily physical exercise
• Become wiser on your dietary decisions and choices
• Discern wisely when you use alcohol, all other drugs, including “over the counter” or prescription drugs
• Chew well! “Drink your food and eat your drinks”
• Consider daily intermittent fasting of 12 to 18 hours
• Spend ample time outdoors in your garden, a park, or in nature
• Start your own organic veggie garden!
• Spend quality time with yourself and your loved ones
• Learn to live with gratitude on a daily basis
• Reach out to people in need
• Make spiritual growth a priority in your life

Participation in the organisation’s wellness programme, is maybe the easiest way to keep yourself focused on your personal wellness goals, educate yourself on important wellness topics and latest research, connect with like-minded people, and to get specific support and coaching when needed.

Causing factors:

• Psychological stress
• Computer work for long periods
• Driving for long distances
• Sewing / knitting / crocheting
• History of whiplash injury
• Sustained positions with shoulders pulled forward and upwards.

Action Plan:

• Mobilizing: It needs to be performed slowly without force and it is much more successful if the movements are repeatedly sporadically throughout the day.
  • Turn the head as far left as possible and then slowly back to the centre position, then to the right and back again 1x to each side
  • Bend the neck with the chin as close as possible to the chest and back to the original position 1x
  • Look straight ahead, do not turn the head sideways. Move the left ear towards the left shoulder as far as possible by tilting the neck sideways. Repeat to the right. 1x to each side
  • Roll shoulder backwards x10

• Stretches: A stretch must always be done in the correct position – no shortcuts. The limb moves slowly (not with sharp and sudden stretching movements, or bouncing or oscillatory movements) until the end of the range of motion and a comfortable stretch can be felt and it is then held for up to 30 seconds 1x at a time and sporadic repetition throughout the day is recommended

• Trapezius stretch: Stand with the back against the wall – heels slightly away from the wall. Do not straighten knees. Tilt the pelvis backwards so that the lower back touches the wall (back must stay against the wall = policeman for proper execution) raise the arms sideways to shoulder height and bend the elbows 90˚ upwards. Keep this angle and move the forearms together so that the elbows and forearms touch (keeping the lower back against the wall). If the stretch is not too intense, the hands can be pushed upwards as far as possible without elbows separating or back leaving the wall.

• Levator scapula stretch: Stand / sit looking straight ahead and imagine a straight line forward in line with nose and straight lines to the right and left in line with ears, forming two 90° angles that lie next to each other. If the left side is stretched, the nose should be turned about 45° to the right, without tilting the head to any side at any time. Bend the neck straight downwards until a “good” stretch is felt. This is held 30 seconds and repeated to the left.

• Reinforcement of the posture muscles in the upper back is extremely important!! Stand as with the stretch of the trapezius muscle. It is imperative that the lower back keeps touching the wall as well as the back of the head. Raise the arms sideways and bend the elbows as with the previous stretch. The forearm and the top of the hands must touch the wall. Now move the arms upwards against the wall while keeping the elbows at 90°. The upward motion is slow and stops as soon as the lower back or arms leave the wall. Repeat untill tired. The back usually becomes tired between the shoulder blades. This exercise is done only once a day.

How to replenish dwindling energy levels:

• Diet
  • Fatty acids and protein from lean meats (such as chicken and turkey), fatty fish (such as salmon, tuna, sardines and mackerel) and nuts will boost your ATP levels. ATP is a molecule which stores and delivers energy to cells.
  • Eat small meals and snacks every few hours. Large meals cause insulin levels to spike, which then drops blood sugar levels rapidly, leading to feelings of fatigue.
• Several small meals and snacks enhances brain function with a steady supply of nutrients.
• Fluids
  • Feelings of fatigue is one of the first signs that your body is short on fluids.
  • Fluids not only come from water and beverages, but also from liquid-rich fruits and vegetables, for example cucumbers, squash, strawberries, citrus fruit and melons.
  • The recommended daily intake of fluids is 3,7 liters for men and 2,7 liters for women.
• Exercise –Exercise can boost energy levels in the body by raising energy-promoting neurotransmitters in the brain (serotonin, dopamine, norepinephrine).
• Sleep –ATP levels surge during the first few hours of sleep. Healthy sleep helps to increase ATP levels.

Smart strategies to reduce hypertension naturally:

• Reduce your body weight – weight is a common risk factor for hypertension
• Avoid foods that boost insulin levels (sugars and processed foods) – two-thirds of people who are insulin resistant also have hypertension
• Regular aerobic exercise
• Reduce your stress (adrenalin and cortisol push up blood pressure)
• Relax more; lighten up; laugh more
• Normalize your vitamin D levels – it helps to relax arteries
• Supplement diet with omega-3 rich foods
• Eat a healthy diet – eat real food, not processed food
• Reduce your sodium intake (processed foods, ready meals, table salt)
• Increase your potassium intake – higher levels blunt the effect of sodium
• Increase your magnesium intake – eat lots of leafy green and coloured vegetables and fruit, plus raw, unsalted nuts and seeds
• Limit your alcohol intake
• Limit intake of caffeine
• Drink lots of water
• Quit smoking
• Check your blood pressure regularly

Do you struggle with low energy levels, weight gain, indigestion, unhealthy skin, constipation, mood swings or poor immune function? Maintaining healthy bacteria in your gut is always the first line of defence for good health.

Emotional component

• Gut bacteria manufacture 95% of your body’s supply of the feel-good hormone serotonin, which affects mood and sleep. Brain chemistry can also be altered by manipulating the balance of beneficial and harmful bacteria found in the gut.¹
• Bacteria in the gut may play a role in mood disorders such as anxiety and depression. This explains why you get “butterflies” in your stomach when you’re nervous or why you feel queasy under extreme stress.²
• Stress can directly influence the balance of bacteria in your gut, thereby impacting your immune system and mood. If you want the gut and brain working together for more positive emotions, it’s vital that you keep your stress levels in check.³

The anti-aging secret

• The beneficial bacteria (micro biome) in the gut provide a natural physical barrier along the gut wall and are needed to increase the thickness of the mucus layer. The thicker the mucus layer, the younger we look!

What to eat

• Polyphenols:
• Dark blue or purple fruits like pomegranate, mulberries, Aronia berries and also found in extra virgin olive oil, celery seed extract, capers, hazelnuts, ginger, dark chocolate, endive, kale, fennel seed
• They are incredible natural energy boosters
• They improve blood vessel function
• They help balance healthy cholesterol levels
• They strengthen your digestive system “feeding” the microorganisms in your gut that keep you healthy. In this way, they reduce digestive issues (like gas or bloating), boosting your immune system, and helping your body process more energy from food.
• Prebiotic fibre:
  • Foods that are rich in this fibre include tubers, rutabagas, parsnips, chicory reduce your cravings for fattening and unhealthy foods.
• Other suggestions:
  • A few drops Balsamic vinegar with your meals
  • A lot of good quality olive oil
• Vitamin C 4 x per day
• 2 cups mushrooms to lower your Alzheimer risk with 90%.
• Exercising! This includes house work, gardening, meditation and yoga.

What NOT to eat

• Avoid lectins in your diet: This includes bread, pasta, grains, potatoes, rice, corn, tomatoes
  • Lectins disrupt your digestion, reduce energy absorption, weaken your immune system, and throw off your gut bacteria
  • Lectins damage the mucus layer in the gut wall, causing “Leaky Gut,” and resulting in massive inflammation in the body.
• Cut from your diet: added sugar, artificial sweeteners, refined carbs, fried and processed foods
• Try to avoid the use of antibiotics
• Also avoid GMO foods – some contains Roundup. ⁴
