There are many natural ways to boost your immunity this winter (without taking the flu shot - which is controversial, not totally researched, and has side effects)
Dr. Larry’s MAIN TIPS to stay healthy and strong this winter:
1. Eat your anti viral foods - Garlic, Onions, and chilli peppers are great cupboard basics to kill any nasty bugs; (garlic and onions also have the added benefit of lowering blood sugar and stimulating digestion)
2. Use SEA SALT - it can take up 72 hours for a virus to proliferate; the main areas of growth are the nasal cavity and mouth. RINSE your mouth with sea salt and water every day to prevent proliferation; you can also use a neti pot (what the ancient yogis did). to rinse the nasal passages with sea salt. If your not up for that….just dip a q tip in sea salt and water and clean the nasal area
3. EAT your vitamin C - start each day with juice of half a lemon in warm water - eat at least 3 servings of fruit and veggies/day - kale, spinach, brocolli, kiwis, grapefruits and apples!; if you feel something coming on; supplement your diet with at least 1000 mg of vitamin C (emergen C packets are great!)
4. OIL OF OREGANO - tastes yucky, but works wonders!!! - 1 - 2 drops a day during cold/flu season will ward off any buggers!
5. DRINK GREEN TEA - green tea boosts the immune system( it is also antioxidant, boosts metabolism and has l theanine - calming to the nervous system; energizing and calming!! what could be better?)
6. sweeten you green tea with UNPASTEURIZED BEE POLLEN HONEY - antiviral, sweet and energizing!
7. DECREASE STRESS - stress increases cortisol which depletes the immune system - SPYN, YOGA, MEDITATION and BREATHWORK will keep your nervous system in check
8. Decrease toxic and cortisol producing foods which wreak havoc on the immune system - SUGAR, coffee, processed foods, chemical sweetners,
9. Take an immune boosting herbal combination supplement - Deep immune by st francis is the best recommendation!
10. Take Vitamin D - at least 1000 IU/day - we dont get enough sunlight in TO in the winter - we need all the help we can get; take at least 1 tsp of fish oil or flax oil/day - this helps the brain and the immune system (cod liver oil is one of the oldest tricks in the book for immune boosting and flu prevention)

I am a retired firefighter. Lately I am feeling degregationproblems with my memory and I am concerned about it. I was considering memory practice, or omega3 fish oil capsuls. What is the best bet?
