Every news agency in the U.S. today is covering the story of a potential outbreak of Ebola in the United States.
There are simply so many stories about the potential spread of the virus from the first patient in the U.S. who died of Ebola to those exposed to him during his contagious period, including health care professionals at the Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital in Dallas.
Not only do we read about various potential exposures and scares from different situations on board airplanes, buses and cruise ships, but we also hear about opposing information on whether we have to really be scared of the spread of Ebola in the U.S. or not be too concerned about it at all because everything is a hoax!
Setting the FACTS straight
So what is Ebola and what do we REALLY need to know about it? Well, here are some facts...
Those are the only information you need to know about Ebola for now. Nothing more, nothing less. It's enough to know HOW it will be transmitted and WHAT signs & symptoms to watch out for within 21 days of exposure.
Now, Ebola is not something we should take lightly and I am in no way saying that we should not care about it because it's a hoax. Let me say this now, IT IS NOT A HOAX and Ebola is as REAL as the Flu. However, what's not real is the HYPED UP way that the media is putting it out to be. This "scare" that's building up basically molds everybody to look for "the cure" or "the vaccine" later on down the road. But is that what we really should look forward to in our quest to prepare for the spread of Ebola?
Just like the Flu vaccine, are we also going to be running to the clinics later on to receive a vaccine that has been fast-tracked & not been properly tested in humans, may contain harmful ingredients, and which promise of immunity is empty because vaccinated people are still among the many infected in certain outbreaks? May we become more empowered and be more proactive in taking charge of our overall health in the presence (or absence) of an epidemic!
What you REALLY NEED TO DO...
While the rest of the country rattles about whether to believe the Ebola scare or not, and whether individuals exposed to the Ebola virus are positive for it or not, I think it is MORE IMPORTANT FOR US TO LOOK INTO THE WAYS WE CAN PREPARE & PROTECT OUR BODIES against any infectious disease that may come our way!
Because we all need clear directions on what we SHOULD REALLY DO AT THIS TIME, I would like to offer the following steps that you can take in order for you to face all this Ebola scare head on.
LOWER YOUR LIFE'S TOXIC LOAD
It is very important to understand that the human body is magnificently designed with a complete set of systems and processes that are more than capable of fighting against any kind of foreign organisms that invade the internal environment.
An optimally functioning immune system in the body plays a HUGE ROLE in a person's ability to ward off diseases. Thus, it is very important that we take very good care of our immune system. A person with a compromised immune system will have a much higher risk to developing infections and may have the highest risk toward death. Anyone with an optimally functioning immune system can and will walk away from dreadful infectious diseases like Ebola. Ebola patient Dr. Kent Brantly was one example. Fatu Kekulah's family's story is another one. Someone can and will be able to walk away from infectious diseases depending on how strong their immune systems are at the time of infection.
Unfortunately for many people today, the modern diet and lifestyle leaves almost everybody with a compromised immune system. POOR GUT HEALTH and the S.A.D. diet (Standard American Diet) that modern families follow today has placed everyone in a very bad spot for immune system compromise. The gateway to the body's immune strength is through the gut and a leaky gut caused by stress, poor diet and sugar overload does not help along with nutrient deficiencies.
The modern day diet & lifestyle are TOXIC and we must intentionally find ways to lower that toxic load on the body. A few dietary changes will tremendously prove to be beneficial in the end. The following are the MOST IMPORTANT TOXINS TO REMOVE from your diet:
- Sugar (in soda, sweet teas, desserts, etc.)--> use natural organic Stevia or Luo Han Go instead
- Dairy (Cow's Milk) --> use Goat's Milk or plant-based milk instead
- Gluten --> stay gluten-free (off of all wheat) as much as possible
- White flour --> use almond flour or other non-wheat whole grain flour instead
- Processed meat --> use uncured, organic, grass-fed meat instead
- Fried foods --> use only organic coconut oil or olive oil for cooking at home
You have to LOWER your toxic load as much as possible and that includes toxicity at the mental and emotional levels as well. Turn OFF your TV and read a book instead. Take time off to relax and enjoy a peace and tranquil day outside with nature. Take deep breaths all throughout the day. Listen to tranquil, clean music and above all, take time to PRAY. Your spiritual health will play a huge role in your overall well-being as well.
SUPPORT & NOURISH YOUR BODY'S BUILT IN DISEASE-FIGHTING SYSTEM
The body is built-in with automatic, autonomous systems that are responsible for the processing, detoxifying and fighting off of invading microorganisms. The next step to follow to make you ready for anything is to support and nourish your body's systems properly.
Most people today are deficient in a lot of nutrients primarily because of the S.A.D. diet that they follow. Most of the conventionally grown & farmed food items contain lots of pesticides and harmful chemicals. Some are deficient in nutrients because of the soil that plant products were planted in, and because of the poorly nourishing food served to animals grown in conventional farms.
Supporting and nourishing the human body need not be difficult. We simply must remember a few of the most important nutrients to replenish the body and we can be good to go.
- Increase your intake of Vitamin D3. Majority of people are deficient in vitamin D3 today which leads to so many modern day health problems.
- Eat fermented vegetables and drink kombucha or coconut water kefir on a daily basis. Otherwise, take a superior quality probiotic daily to heal and maintain the health of your gut.
- Add a magnesium supplement to your diet. Magnesium is another nutrient that is usually lacking in most people today. This mineral is an integral part of many of the body's important metabolic processes and a deficiency in this area leads to the development of many of today's health issues... including a compromised immune function!
- Find a good multivitamin that contains selenium, zinc and other power greens for immune system nutrition. (Men's multivitamins here)
- Replace your table salt with Celtic Sea Salt to get more minerals in your diet.
- Put and eat the rainbow into your diet. Eat fruits and vegetables that have the rainbow's colors through and through:
- Red - cherries, raspberries, red cabbage, strawberries
- Orange - carrots, citrus fruits, bell pepper
- Yellow - lemon, zucchini
- Green - leafy power greens (kale, spinach), cucumber, asparagus, broccoli
- Blue - blueberries, blackberries, eggplant
PREPARE & PROTECT YOUR BODY FROM AN INFECTIOUS INVASION
One of the overlooked aspect of preparation against infections is the fact that we can actually either ward off viruses, bacteria and other harmful elements from the body, or we can kill them as they enter our internal environment.
A powerful research-based arsenal that people can utilize to help them get protected against infections is the use of potent therapeutic-grade essential oils. Dating back to biblical times and maybe even before, the use of essential oils have been proven over and over again to be very effective against a number of harmful infections and diseases.
It may not be so well-known in mainstream medicine, but high quality essential oils can actually kill the most virulent microorganisms that modern medicine has no cure for. Think the Bubonic plague, MRSA, H1N1 and for this matter, Ebola and other ugly viruses and bacteria going around today! (There are loads of scientific research on the power of essential oils and you can read some here, here, and here.)
I cannot say enough about how every person and family today MUST HAVE at least a kit of essential oils at home to use to protect against the various diseases going around today. This is simply a way to thrive and heal by Design as we utilize the various powerful resources that God created for the purpose of healing.
My highest recommendation is to make sure your family is equipped with the complete Premium Kit that contains your Everyday Essential Oils. This has to be a priority for every family today! Get your essential oils and prepare and protect yourself and your family for whatever may come your way.
It is OUR RESPONSIBILITY...
I want to end this post with a note to remind us that we are responsible for our own optimal health and well-being. We must not rely on anybody else, not even on a government agency to protect and prepare us.
We must take action for our own health. We must be proactive in following the steps outlined in this post.
I believe God is sovereign over everything and prayers are powerful... and we must remember that God has created the human body with a wonderful and beautiful Design that He has established. It is our responsibility to live, thrive & heal by that Design as we are accountable for everything we do with the physical bodies we've been given. There is POWER within God's Design for the human body. Never be afraid to tap into it using the resources He's long made available for us to utilize.
