SARS has had our cities under siege for longer than we could have ever imagined. For some it has shades of a sci-fi movie, while others have locked themselves indoors for fear of contracting the deadly disease.

There seem to be signs that it’s back for round two, and perhaps West Nile Virus is just waiting around the corner to replace it. The public is at its wits’ end. So what do we do?

While we don’t have a cure for these diseases, it’s imperative to keep your immune system at its peak. If you are worn down by lack of sleep and daily stress, you won’t have many resources to fight these foreign invaders. Adequate sleep, relaxation and proper eating habits are just the basics. Immune system boosters like vitamins, minerals, and herbs are necessary to be in top shape. Homeopathic medicines can be used preventatively and in the case of an acute illness. It’s spring, and a good overall cleanse at this time will go a long way to remove the excess toxic load.

Antioxidants, essential fatty acids, and probiotics are a good start. Herbs such as Echinacea, goldenseal, astragalus, bioflavonoids and garlic will help your body in its fight. In addition, glandulars stimulate the organs involved in the immune process. Each person will need to strengthen different areas, according to their body’s individual weaknesses. Forming good habits now will keep you in good stead for any future health threats.

If you are concerned about SARS, West Nile, and other health marauders, start by getting your immune system in tip-top condition. A Naturopathic Doctor will point you in the right direction. Call for your free 15-minute introductory consultation.
