6 Step Immune System Optimizer Plan
Podcast: Download (16.9MB)
I got an interesting email from my sister last night about a relatively new allergy treatment (below) got me thinking about some awesome natural strategies that you can do to optimize your immune system for the "Cold, Flu, and Allergy Season" that lies ahead.
If you start these now and you'll be ahead of the game before next Tuesday's "Immune System Optimization" group coaching session where we'll go in depth on how to implement these strategies to avoid the frustrations and worry of having sickness run through your family this fall.
Here's Susan's email and my response…

Steve- Have you heard of anyone ever using sublingual immunotherapy to treat allergies? I have a friend who has done research on it for her boys who have allergies to wheat, dairy, and others, and she wanted me to ask you if you are familiar with it or have any comments towards its use. -Susan

Hey Susan,
I don't have any direct experience since it's not considered "natural" but after some research it seems like a better option than traveling to the eent's office for shots all the time.
BUT it's still an "outside in" fix.
The BEST "inside out" fix to build your buffer against
allergies and any other immune system imbalances is:
1. Balancing omega 6 to omega 3 ratio (fish oil supps, and no grain…soak/sprout your nuts seeds to increase omega 3 content)
2. Lots of green and other colorful vegetables (green smoothies and more salads are a great starting point)
3. No wheat, dairy, sugar, or any factory farm animal products (wheat and dairy are the most common food allergens that increase your immune system load, sugar depresses immune activity, and factory farm animal products are fed grain and create massive inflammation, not to mention the concentrated dose of hormones and antibiotics.
4. A quality probiotic supplement (careful here…these are good bugs and must be alive to do any good. Lots are dead on arrival to the store shelf and do you no good. call company to make sure the strain has been tested for acid and bile tolerance and cell adherence. we use ultra flora plus from Metagenics )
5. Bodywork to reduce the "high tone" physical stress and spinal congestion ,especially in the neck and upper back (recently just this alone reduced allergy symptoms in one of my clients to virtually nothing in just a few weeks)
6. Make use of the HUGE body of knowledge that proves that your immune system is a direct reflection of your "state of mind" (psychoneuroimmunology). Quieting the "worried ego mind" and replacing it with feeling gratitude in the present moment is a surefire prescription for improved immune system function.
I'll be going deeper into all this in a 2 hour group coaching session next Tuesday night Oct. 13th from 6-8pm.
We'll be recording it and will have it available for download online along with notes, diet guide, diagrams, etc. for your friends in Indy or wherever else.
Please pass this on. You don't have to live with allergies or be a slave to shots, nose drops, and anti-biotics your whole life.
Just what's in this email should take care of a good 75% or more of all allergies plus it will provide you with a "natural flu shot" on the side!
But it has to actually be IMPLEMENTED! (and there enlies the rub)

By the way…we may have a new puppy. Little guy was running down the middle of the road just past Utica. We'll see!

Hope these tips help!

P.S. I also LOVE the XCLEAR natural nasal spray. It's basically a saline wash spiked with xylitol which acts like a "detergent" in your sinuses…the allergens, and pathogens just slide off the slippery surface so they can't take hold and throw your immune system out of balance. GREAT for your "natural medicine cabinet" (we'll be talking about what else to have on hand next Tuesday night!
