 A little perspective... Here we are again in August 2021 with a new surge in COVID numbers. Let's take a moment to refresh your memory on the best ways to avoid contacting this serious health threat.
There's an enormous amount of controversy about the vaccine and the emerging new variants. It's important to note that all living organisms seek to reproduce and flourish. Viruses such as Covid are no different they will find a way around any measure that attempts to eradicate them and produce variations to improve their ability to invade a host. Independent researchers are questioning not only the efficacy of these vaccine, but also the further reaching consequences of their employment. It's important to look at all sources of information. Emerging variants.... We have seen this variant phenomenon in the case of the AIDs virus which mutated and defied treatment for many years. In the same way, staphylococcus and other bacteria have become immune to antibiotics becoming more deadly with each passing year. Our reliance on the "magic bullet" approach will become outdated as we apply the intelligence and understanding that nothing beats natural immunity. The BTH Blog, The State of Health and Wellness in America outlines the flaw of these forms of treatments. Covid is preventable... And is much more treatable than say AIDs for example. Let us not lose perspective and fall into fear! See the BTH Blogs, "Fear not the Covid" & "Is it Covid?" for more information. Be aware or wary of some treatment recommendations... Circulating throughout the medical community, including many Naturopathic practitioners is the FLCCC Alliance's suggestions for prevention and treatment of Covid. There may be a questionable connection between the FLCCC Alliance and drug manufacturers, but I have not found conclusive evidence as to the agencies or donors who may be financing this organization.  The FLCCC Alliance's treatment plans call for the use of two pharmaceuticals. Ivermectin and Fluvoxamine (Prozac). Ivermectin an anti parasitic used primarily in animals and an SSRI uptake inhibitor manufactured by Merck under the name Prozac. Ivermectin... There is no conclusive evidence to suggest that Ivermectin is effective against any viral infections, including Covid. The FDA Website has this to say about Ivermectin. "The FDA has not approved Ivermectin for use in treating or preventing Covid-19 in humans. Ivermectin is not an anti-viral. Taking large doses can be dangerous and can cause serious harm." Several public health experts too are against the usage of the drug. “There is apparently no role of Ivermectin in management of covid-19. Both should be removed from all guidelines till robust evidence is generated. Ivermectin maker (Merck) and WHO both have strongly advised against it. Merck, an Ivermectin manufacturer in the US, also came out with a statement on the use of this drug during the pandemic saying that the Merck scientists continue to carefully examine the findings of all available and emerging studies of ivermectin for the treatment of covid-19 for evidence of efficacy and safety stating... “It is important to note that, to-date, our analysis has identified--no scientific basis for a potential therapeutic effect against covid-19 from pre-clinical studies; no meaningful evidence for clinical activity or clinical efficacy in patients with COVID-19 disease, and; a concerning lack of safety data in the majority of studies," the company said in a statement. Although it is interesting to note that the US government plans to spend 1.2 billion dollars to support Merck in spite of the companies insistent statements regarding the use of Ivermectin as an anti-viral? A CNBC report cites... "a recent announcement by the US government, that they're entering into a contractual agreement with Merck where they're going to commit $1.2 billion of taxpayer money in order to enrich Merck" GAVI.org an organization that works to provide legitimate vaccines for underdeveloped countries has this to say about Ivermectin. "The antiparasitic drug was thought to be a potential treatment for Covid-19, but there isn't sufficient information to recommend it's use, despite widespread support online" GAVI provides a unique view of additional booster vaccinations for Covid in this article "If we're not careful booster vaccines could end up giving the coronavirus a boost" Prozac... As to the use of Prozac as an anti inflammatory medication. There is evidence to suggest it does provide some anti inflammation support, however what is the final result of using an antidepressant as an anti inflammatory. There is not much to say about this! Ask yourself how many people will get onto Prozac and decide, "hey this isn't so bad". Who's the winner, the drug manufacturers! SSRI uptake inhibitors, antidepressants have a definite down side to these drugs noting that common side effects of long term use are loss of motor control, tics, twitches, muscle spasms, immobilizing fatigue and tremors. An excellent article outlines the controversy, "Die with a smile: antidepressant against Covid-19" presented by For Better Science author and researcher Leonid Schneider. Many researchers are engaged in independant analysis.... Many may disagree but, the science surrounding the "vaccine" is debatable and experimental, based on success in using this technology with cancer treatment regarding the emerging vaccine side effects and efficacy. Long term effects of this form of genetic modification are unknown and many choose not to get vaccinated. View current research studies. Bring peace.... Let's allow others to make the choice they feel is best for them without judgement. The media, government and pharmaceutical companies benefit from the fear and controversy, avoid the panic trap! Educate yourself.... The National Library of Medicine offers many resources for current research and statistical information.

Having had a recent exposure to Covid at the Bridge to Health office we have decided to post this blog to help clients understand more about when and when not to come in for appointments. The client thought their symptoms of LOSS OF TASTE AND SMELL were associated with allergies... In truth this client was four days into a case of COVID and tested positive the next day! Every person with active symptoms can expose many others who will then pass it on to their families, friend and co-workers. Many of those can be elderly, immune compromised or young children.  Refer to the chart above for a better understanding of symptoms associated with Covid. FOLLOW THESE GUIDELINES AND PASS THEM, NOT THE COVID, ONTO EVERYONE YOU KNOW!
IF YOU HAVE BEEN EXPOSED TO AN ACTIVE CASE.....
So I hope you are all getting the import here....get tested regularly, use your commonsense and focus on building your immunity and your consciousness in order to help yourself and others! Below is a chart showing the most common symptoms of Covid.   The COVID-19 viral scare started just prior to my recent trip to California to undertake continuing training courses for my Chi Nei Tsang certification through the Chi Nei Tsang Institute/Tao Touch with Master Teacher Gilles Marin. While we were there in the midst of the storm, Gilles offered the advice reprinted below. What he presents in in line with the foundation of my practice...it's JUST COMMONSENSE! Below you will find reassurance and knowledge! Maya Angelo said, "When we know better, we do better" We fear influenza because it does pose the potential to take lives. The elderly, the immune compromised and the young. Everyone else in between would be unlikely to develop symptoms that could be life threatening, if they are in good health. Having a strong immune system is an investment you make in yourself. The foundations of having a strong immune system are basic...
Essential Oils as a preventative against the Covid-19 transmuting virus strains For centuries populations world wide have relied on sacred plants for healing. When one takes a closer look at these plants we see that they all contain high levels of what are called phenols. These are a particular class of flavonoids contained with in herbaceous plants. Phenolic compounds have long been associated with a variety of biochemical and pharmacological properties including antioxidant, antiviral, anticancer, and anti-inflammatory activities. To learn more about current research on the efficacy of phenolic plant oils see this abstract,"Essential Oils as Antiviral Agents" from the National Center for Biotechnology Information, NCBI Here are some of the top essential oils for use against viral infections including SARS-CoV-2
** Menthol is a concentrated extract of mint that is so pure it crystalizes upon extraction. Menthol crystal is made liquid when added to another essential oil or carrier oil such as coconut oil. It can also be liquified with alcohol. I use a small amount of alcohol added in a few drops to my jar of menthol. This allows me to use a tooth pick to catch a tiny amount of menthol to add to my steam inhaler. Menthol is extremely potent and should only be used in very tiny amounts. There are a variety of ways to use these powerfully protecting oils to prevent the Covid virus from colonizing in your nose, nasal passages, sinuses, eye, ears and mouth.  Essential Oil Inhalation: Using a vessel such as this small hand held inhaler from VICKS, or a steamy pot of water on your stove you would ada few drops of a blend of at least three essential oils in the list above. Be careful not to overload the inhaler. These oils are extremely pungent! Gently breath the steamy air into your nose and also through your mouth. The steamy vapors will also reach up to the eye are and may cause your eye to water. This is GOOD. The tears will wash out the eye the oil vapor will kill or greatly reduce any viral presence. Repeat this procedure at least 3-4 times daily. I know it may seem like a hassle, but getting this virus is far worse! I use this Vick V1300 Inhaler differently than suggested by the manufacturer. I do not use the plastic top section, it does not fit most faces very well. I heat water salted with whole sea salt to the near boiling point, pour into enough water to reach the carburetor. Then simply inhale through the nose and mouth up t ten times. I usually hit it again before it's cooled off. Repeating through out the day. You can reheat the same salt water and add more oils, literally just a drop or two of the oils of your choice.  Essential Oil Diffusers: These handy tools are a good way to diffuse the phenols of essential oils into your room(s). Having multiple diffusers going in your home or office is the best way to go. Again these oils are potent, don't over do it, but do keep them regularly refilled and add more oils through the day. We run them in our home and office 24/7. There are many essential oils companies that provide oil blends to fit the bill. DoTERRA's On Guard, Eden's Garden's Fighting Five, Plant Therapy's Germ Fighter, Rocky Mountain Oils Breath Ease are just a few of the reputable essential oil providers to choose from.  Masking: There are lots of arguments about the effectiveness of masking up. Regardless of which side of the fence you're on, the mask allows you an opportunity to further expand your use of essential oils to prevent infection. Using either a light alcohol blend of oils in a spray or simple apply a drop of oil or oil blend to your finger tip and then rub onto the surface of your mask, concentrating in the area of the nostrils. This will provide a continuos source of protection while you're out and about! Some of the essential oil companies have room sprays that will work for mask application. Reprinted by permission...Gilles Marin Instructions to prevent getting the flu, or any kind of other airborne sickness, and to help eradicate the COVID-19 contagion: Being in times of epidemics we have to assume that we are carrying the flu virus or covid-19 with us all the time. The only thing we can do is to neutralize it, on and in ourselves, to prevent it from reproducing and spreading.
If you feel like you are just getting the flu:
Additional Info: The flu virus cannot survive a disinfected environment, so, even, and especially, if it is already in your system, it needs several days to incubate before it can reproduce and make you very sick. It incubates in your throat and your nasal cavities. If you gargle with a disinfectant and breathe essential oils of thyme it will kill the virus during its incubation period and you should feel relieved within a day or two. However it is essential to continue the treatment for three days to make sure you eliminated the possibilities of new infections during the time of incubation. Avoid mucus producing food products such as pasteurized dairy, sugar, especially in drinks such as sodas and reconstituted fruit juices from concentrates, starches such as industry produced boxed cereals, potatoes, wheat, corn and rice, and their derivatives. Don’t tax your system with overeating. Even healthy foods in excess strains the digestive organs leading to congestion. Eating lightly will save your energy for your immune defense system. If you feel like you are not getting better that means that you will get worse: It is recommended that you do not go to the hospital. Hospitals are already overwhelmed by the excess number of people seeking shelter and medical attention. In addition, all they can do there is to keep you under observation and feed you the worst diet while being quarantined with a bunch of other infected people. Remember hospitals don’t provide home remedies and they are unable to provide you with the diet you will need to recover. It will be much better to prepare yourself to stay at home especially if you get sicker, weaker and unable of taking care of yourself. Be Perpared: You need to build a network of support by connecting together a circle of friends and family members on which you can count on to take care of each other. Tell them your plan if one of you gets sick. Keep an eye on each other and provide care and nutrition. You have to build that network before you get too weak to ask for help. Use your phone, use the internet, establish a circle of relationship to check on each other on a regular basis. The better part of our humanity comes out naturally out of people during times of crisis. We need to enhance this natural capacity to help evolve our social skills toward being helpful, supportive and more humane with each other. This will eventually make human consciousness evolve naturally toward a better future. Make a list of the kind of food you need, cooked the way you like it. You will probably loose all your appetite for several days. Preparing to eat minimally but vital. Green algae, maca, whole food source multivitamins, and other "super foods". Have these items on hand now, before anyone gets ill. Call and consult with your local health food stores. Simple blended soups and fortified drinks or smoothies are good choices. Make chicken stock or bone broth with vegetables. Blend it so it is easy to drink and to dilute if your appetite goes down.

To heal, we don't need to be intelligent, we don't need to be good, and we don't need to deserve it. Healing is pure grace. To heal, we do need honesty. We need to be true to ourselves. We need to be able to admit that we have feelings we wish we didn't have. We need to own these feelings so we can outgrow them, and so we can mature as human beings." Gilles Marin
As a matter of fact, worldwide death rates also remain relatively stable. The perspective here is that over the years influenza deaths have been relatively equal to the recent "Covid" related deaths. No more people have died this past two years from Covid than usually die each year with influenza!
In contrast, millions more people have died and continue to die of AIDs throughout the world with not nearly as much media or government attention. This comparison chart on death rate of all the major world plagues gives us some perspective as well. Visit the link to the article on the website for Visual Capitalists for more information.
