With fall and winter approaching, which is typical of more colds, flu and other airborne viruses because of the continued increase of staying inside during colder weather, I thought I would say a few things about building up and or restoring your immunity to these nasty bugs beforehand. Generally speaking, most people don't get enough sun in the winter which leads to vitamin k shortages as well as other nutrients coming directly from sunlight. Also breathing stale and or recirculated air possibly depleated or low in oxygen makes us more susceptable. There are a few things which we can do to help insure our continued immunity to these things. For one, most people are deficient in minerals and even vitamins. Kelp can be used to restore these. It can be purchased in powder, pills, or capsules. If using powder, you can substitute it for salt in your recipes and enjoy the benefits of it that way. many people cook more during cooler wather and this is one good option. Studies are now being done on Kelp, and other seaweed, and they have produced some astonishing results, such as regrowing hair, boosting immunity, increasing protien levels, reducing cholesterol, cleansing the liver, and restoring heart health. We are just now rediscovering knowledge known thousands of years ago by native peoples around the world. The Japanese use it as a food supplement, and most ancient people used it as an antibiotic and antiseptic, as well as food. Today, we use it in toothpaste, cosmetics, shampoo, soaps and lots of other consumer products, and fertilizer. I suspect it will become even more valuable once everything is discovered of its remarkable uses. It has over 70 minerals, vitamins and amino acids, needed for maintaining a healthy body. Good Luck. rockhound
