Herbal Weapons and Supplements Against Viral Infections


As we approach the end of summer and the beginning of fall and the colder months ahead, there are certain steps we can take to prevent or help diminish the severity and duration of viral infections. Here are some recommendations.

Herbal Weapons

  1. Ginger: It removes congestion, relieves headaches, soothes sore throat, and decreases inflammation.

  2. Cayenne: It stimulates and warm the body and helps reduce fever.

  3. Golden Seal: It destroys germs, and it is a strong herbal antibiotic.

  4. Licorice: It removes excess fluid from the lungs, relieves coughing, sore throat, and helps supply energy.

  5. Cat’s Claw: Strengthens the immune system and inhibits viral replication, reduces viral load by 90%, and it significantly reduces cell damage.

Other Helpful Supplements and Foods

  1. Vitamin A: Good for the health of the lining of the throat and nose.

  2. Vitamin C: Strengthens the immune system and fights infections.

  3. Vitamin D: Plays a significant role in immune function. It is an immunomodulator, meaning it is involved in the function of various immune cells, including T cells and macrophages. It helps prevent the harmful cytokine storm, an excessive immune response that can cause severe inflammation and multi-organ damage. Vitamin D helps strengthen the respiratory tract lining, thus reducing viral penetration.

  4. Zinc: Inhibits viral replication and prevents the virus from binding to human cells. Zinc is also known to have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, which help counteract the cytokine storm and oxidative stress associated with severe COVID-19.

  5. Water, herbal teas, and homemade juices: Cleanses the body of toxins, and provides energy and strength.

  6. Foods: Citrus fruits, bell peppers, legumes, raw nuts and seeds

Verse To GO:

“I will restore you to health and heal your wounds," declares the Lord.” Jeremiah 30:17

The Liver: Your Body's Detox Engine

Image
The liver is the largest internal organ, and it does a lot. Here is an excerpt of what the liver does from the book: Chris Beat Cancer by Chris Wark: “Your liver is your body’s detoxification engine and a critical component of your immune system. It processes nearly every toxin that enters your body. An overburdened, sick liver can lead to a toxic body, weakened immune system, and an environment where cancer cells can thrive. So, it makes sense to reduce the workload on your liver and the rest of your body by reducing or eliminating your exposure to unnecessary toxins. The overwhelming awareness of how much potentially toxic stuff is around you may induce some anxiety and paranoia at first, but don’t let fear take over and paralyze you; just make a to-do list and start cleaning up your life. The goal is to reduce your toxic load, and every little bit helps.” God designed the body to always detoxify. When you urinate, defecate, and perspire, your body detoxifies. Eliminating or reducing...

Quercetin, the "Scavenger Chemical"

Image
Quercetin belongs to a group of plant compounds called flavonoids. This compound is a potent antioxidant that protects the cells in the body from free radical damage. The way it works is by neutralizing free radicals and preventing them from damaging cells and tissues. It also helps reduce inflammation by inhibiting the production of inflammatory molecules. That’s amazing! This compound also helps lower blood pressure and improve blood vessel function. In the area of brain health, quercetin protect brain cells from damage and improve cognitive function. In the area of cancer, studies have shown the anti-cancer properties of quercetin. This bioflavonoid is a true powerhouse exhibiting anticancer activity by inhibiting cancer cell proliferation, promoting apoptosis, which is programmed cell death, and reducing metastasis, the proliferation of cancer. Quercetin also has anti-angiogenic effects, meaning, it can inhibit the formation of new blood vessels which cancer cells need to grow and ...

Where Do You Really Belong? Try this place!

Image
  In the headlines, legal battles rage over birthright citizenship for children of undocumented immigrants—an issue stirring deep divisions in the courts and across kitchen tables nationwide. Some argue for tradition, others for reform. But beneath the noise lies a quieter question few dare to ask: What really makes someone a citizen?   Well, what do you think about types of citizenship?  You see... ...we wrestle with laws written in ink, interpreted by judges, and debated by talking heads. We wonder what it means to belong—who is in, who is out, and who decides. But what if we’ve been asking the wrong citizenship question all along? There’s another kind of citizenship. One that doesn’t depend on where you were born or what documents you carry. One not granted by government, but offered by grace. “But our citizenship is in heaven. And from it we await a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ.” — Philippians 3:20 Unlike earthly passports, heavenly citizenship isn’t inherited...
