Bullet proof immune system – how to not get a cold ever

You don’t have to catch the next flu. With the right combination of supplements, in most cases, you can knock out, or radically lesson the severity of an infection. If an illness is caught early enough, even people who eat a lousy diet can treat it with the right supplements before they feel really sick. Infection remedies include virus, bacteria, fungus, and most of the parasites that make us sick. Believe it or not, candida (a type of fungus) can give us the same symptoms as a bacterial or viral infection, and many times people have multiple infections at once causing flu like symptoms. The only way to properly prepare your immune system to be as strong as possible is to have a diet and […] Read More

Why Butter Is Better

by Sally Fallon and Mary G. Enig, PhD http://www.westonaprice.org/foodfeatures/butter.html When the fabricated food folks and apologists for the corporate farm realized that they couldn”t block America”s growing interest in diet and nutrition, a movement that would ultimately put an end to America”s biggest and most monopolistic industries, they infiltrated the movement and put a few sinister twists on information going out to the public.

In the fifties, tonsillectomies (removals of tonsils) were standard procedure. The tonsils happen to be one of the first line of defenses against disease, and are your […] Read More
