How to Fight Swine Flu Naturally Clear Center Offers Discounted Services Related to Swine Flu
We are committed to serving our community during this time of concern regarding swine flu. As a result we have discounted our prices at Clear Center of Health as a public health service. Until this swine flu outbreak has passed, we will be offering the following services at a discount which will be limited to screening, prevention, and treatment of swine flu:
- New and established patient visits with a Clear Center Doctor for $100 (30 minute visit)
- 25% off IV treatments aimed at strengthening your immune system to enhance protection from swine flu
- No in-house lab collection fees for nasopharyngeal swabs used to test for swine flu (additional lab processing fees may apply)
- Tricia Barrett, at Green Resurrection, has offered 25% off her immunity-enhancing, health-boosting green juice, wheatgrass, and sprouts to new clients
So what do you need to know to protect yourself and your family?
1. Wash your hands frequently.
2. Avoid touching your nose, mouth, or eyes, as this is how viral particles are spread.
3. Load up on raw green vegetables. Drink green juice, wheatgrass, and sprouts, which offer your body the most nutrient dense foods to help alkalinize your body to assist with resisting infection.
4. Improve your immune integrity by supplementing with vitamin C, vitamin D, 10 Mushroom Formula, elderberry syrup, zinc, echinacea, and colloidal silver spray.
5. Catch up on extra sleep.
6. Avoid or limit contact with people who are sick or might have been exposed to the flu.
7. Eliminate or cut down on sugar and carbohydrates.
8. Give up alcohol and caffeine for a few weeks to support your body's immune system.
9. Engage in stress-reducing techniques, such as meditation, hiking, guided imagery, and creative endeavors. For a swine flu meditation to help you heal, check out Dr. Lissa Rankin's website.
10. Don't panic. Remember, more than 30,000 people die every year from the regular flu. So far, there has been only one reported death in the U.S. from swine flu. Sadly, this was a 2 year old child from Mexico, who according to the Texas Department of Health, also had underlying health issues.
Stress reduces immune function, so don't worry!
