With winter colds and flu around us and foreign viruses and bacteria seeking new playground, is there really a natural option?

How do we go about upper respiratory tract infections without antibiotics and cortisone? The use of antibiotics may cause monster, drug-eating, super bugs to develop and each decade scientists look into developing new kinds of antibiotics as the bugs are getting resistant.

We all know about vitamin C, oranges and colds but, believe me papaya contains more vitamin C than oranges. And many children who struggle with attention span and others who struggle with chronic infections could be allergic (salvcilate or citrus allergy) to the lovely orange.

Ever thought of the "food" that these disease-causing bacteria need to grow? Their food may be exactly the ones that our children and we like so much - starch, sugar (sweeties, cool drinks) and yeasty products (spreads, pizza, bread, wine, beer) are the main source of nutrition for bacteria, yeasts and moulds, causing an imbalance (called dysbiosis) of bad microbes (yeasts, moulds, parasites and worms) in our intestines. Each course of antibiotics worsens these symptoms of dysbiosis.

Their excretions (poisons) contribute our susceptibility to yeast related diseases. Make sure to doyour bi-annual cleanse (detox) and replenishing of intestinal flora before starting a natural supplemental plan.

When phlegm and coughs start to slow your speed, take a calcium-buffered vitamin C, in small doses three hourly. A herb such as olive leaf extract is a powerful natural support against winter flues, hay fever and helps to maintain immunity. Get to know your good brands and how to evaluate labels as the potent substance from the olive leaf (oleuropein) is only extracted and released through a specialized method - so crushed leaves will not be your answer. Olive Immune containing Elderberry, echinacea and zinc, Astragalus, vitamin C, MSM, and magnesium and lysine is the best supplement when getting sick.

A stitch in time saves nine -eating healthy saves on our medical funds.

Now, according to their diagnostic and statistical manual, children who are merely behaving as kids, are being labeled and categorized as being ADD/ADHD. This behavior has risen from 2 % in the past decade to as high as 25 % in some populations. The well-known scheduled medication for ADHD has soared from 3 000 children in 1990 (in Britain), to 345 000 children in 2003.

Eat right to beat cancer

Published in "The Tygerburger" June 13, 2007.

Certain cancers respond favourably to chemotherapy and radiation. But most cancer drugs have limited usefulness, for the drug can effectively destroy only the part of the cancer cells undergoing division and normal cells are destroyed as well. “Destroying” a tumour, whilst facilitating whole body support (as a first concern) means the natural health practitioner takes into account the overall well-being of the patient. Omega-3 oil fish oils, vitamin C and a lot more nutrients are needed as natural protection against cancer - this includes bitter pip-substances of certain fruit.
