How to Improve the Immune System

1918 at the time of the flu pandemic the health advice in Germany to improve the immune system was very different. It went like this:

1. Sleep in a room with open windows
2. Do not overheat your livingroom a temperature of 18 C is the best. (not all rooms were heated at that time)
3. After you washed or showered with warm water use cold water at the end.
4. Brush your skin to improve circulation
5. Sleep enough
6. Be often outside in the fresh air.

It was more or less designed to toughen us up.


The health advice a doctor gives today is different:

1. Avoid sugar, at least as soon as the first symptom shows up. Sugar makes us acidic and germs cna only strive in an acidic body.
2. Sleep enough, 6 - 8 hours
3. Reduce stress by meditation, prayer, or EFT=Emotional Freedom Technique = Meridian Tapping
4. Use probiotics because they normalize elimination
5. Eat a balanced diet, best to prepare it from scratch with organic ingredients
6. Vitamin C... I drink every morning one glass water with the juice of 1/2 organic lemon. Eat fresh frozen berries that you have gathered in summer. Rosehips contain a lot of Vitamin C. We have in Germany a jam from rosehips, but it contains sugar. It is delicious.
7. Propolis, Oil of Oregano, Olive Leaf extract and elderberries are also helpful.
8. Vitamin D3 is apparently also great, I am cautious with it. One of my Dr. clients said that it is fat soluble and one can overdose as one can with vitamin A.

Open windows, fresh air, walks in nature, and cold showers were not mentioned


Isn't it interesting how differently we approach today this situation.

PS.: I follow the old rules but to be on the safe side I also drink GoChi and JULE of the Orient.
No cold since 7 years.
