PUBLICLY AVAILABLE NATURAL HEALTH CARE: RESTORING TRUST IN NATURE

In the absence of an official preventative or curative treatment, the individual left to his own devices could usefully turn to natural therapies and put his or her trust once more in nature and life.

Natural medicines, which are more readily available to the public, are still generally available (in pharmacies, in wholefood stores, on the Internet or in nature).

Further information on many of the nautral products listed in this document may be found at https://www.greenmedinfo.com/.
These therapies are therefore especially useful in the event of a "breakdown of normality".

In this situation, when conventional treatments are unavailable to the public
​
  • Either due to a disruption in supply chains (out of stock)
  • Or in the case of a sudden administrative ban, one can turn to the following as alternatives:
    • Aromatherapy (the most powerful form of phytotherapy)
    • Homeopathy
    • Phytotherapy
    • Nutritional supplements and healthy living practices
    • A healthy diet
    • Meditation
    • Sport
    • Etc.
The Japanese practice of "forest bathing" (shinrin yoku), which has proven therapeutic effects. If you have the chance to quarantine yourself near a natural area, going to recharge your batteries in nature is essential in terms of energy and healing.
Let us emphasize that our way of life and our inner attitude greatly influence our immune system.

It should be noted that in naturopathy, fever is considered a defence mechanism of the body: by naturally increasing its temperature, the body destroys most pathogenic micro-organisms.

Inflammation is also a normal response of the body. However, as we have emphasized, nothing about this virus is natural or accidental.

When turning to nature to heal us, it is important to continue to ensure maximum hygiene.
Prevention is better than cure.
​
And also let’s remember that fear and anger – however legitimate – distract us from our true strength.

 

A BALANCED DIET

·       A balanced diet helps to stimulate immunity

·       Rich in vitamins and minerals

·       Vitamin D (fatty fish, dairy products) or dietary supplements

·       Vitamin D3 2000 IU per day in winter and in influenza prevention.

·       Natural vitamin C 1000 mg 1 per day

·       Magnesium actimag 1 tablet / day

·       Children:

o   Vitamin C: for children under 3 years of age, the dose is a quarter of that for adults.

o   Children over 15 kg in weight may take half the adult dose during the entire period of the epidemic.

o   Magnesium: for children of 30 kg in weight: 100 mg x 2 times a day.

 

 

Very hot drinks

Hot showers and baths

Saunas

Sunbathing

 

 

 

FIGHT INFLAMMATION BY EATING WELL

 

What do cardiovascular disease, asthma, Alzheimer's disease, irritable bowel syndrome, “Covid-19”, cancers and autoimmune diseases have in common?

 

Answer: inflammation – all new diseases are no longer infectious diseases, as in the nineteenth century, but are becoming about the inevitable degradation of cellular tissues.

 

·       Dr. Catherine Kousmine sees the importance of inflammation related to the intake of bad fatty acids and thus an abnormal production of pro-inflammatory molecules (cytokines and prostaglandins PGE2) as a result of over-consumption of denatured fats, meats and dairy products. She named the molecules thus generated "war prostaglandins" as opposed to "peace prostaglandins" (PGE1 and PGE3), generated by intake of oils such as borage, evening primrose or fish.

 

·       Before the mechanisms of action of prostaglandins and leukotrienes, cellular messengers that regulate immune and inflammatory processes, were known, no one would have suspected that fish and borage oils could help relieve diseases such as arthritis and asthma. So how can one explain the exceptional anti-inflammatory activity obtained by the regular intake of a product like Lyprinol, if not by the presence of really effective fatty acids?

 

·       A multitude of foods such as fish and borage oils can also act on war prostaglandins and curb their actions through leukotrienes, which are rapidly destructive and ignite tissues.

 

·       If meat and denatured oils are on the menu, there is a risk of stimulating the production of the bad arachidonic acid, which invariably leads to a series of chain reactions leading to the formation of leukotrienes, wich are all pro-inflammatory.

 

So what should we eat?

 

·       The discovery of a measurable marker of inflammation in the blood, C-reactive protein, made it possible to make direct links between the intake of certain nutrients, including omega-3, turmeric, ginger, blackcurrant, and especially klamath and the rate of inflammation. Subsequently, several authors have proposed diets with anti-inflammatory potential, including Dr. Andrew Weil, who is one of the biggest promoters of this diet and, more recently, Dr. Serfaty-Lacrosnière.

·       The anti-inflammatory diet puts the emphasis on vegetables such as whole grains, pulses and cold pressed virgin oils, with an emphasis on linseed, rapeseed, walnut, borage, evening primrose and possibly all oils from cold sea fish.

·       Significantly reduce the consumption of meat, which should not exceed more than 10% of the plate.

·       Prefer fatty fish, but not too much.

·       Soy derivatives are welcome: tofu, miso, tempeh, all generators of excellent vegetable proteins.

·       And don’t forget the excellent balance provided by the combination of cereals + legumes, guaranteeing a good coverage of amino acids.

·       Several thousand phytonutrients have been discovered in the plant world and several hundred are found in edible plants. They are called polyphenols. Some of them, such as quercetin (the food that contains the most is the onion), are found in all vegetables: fruits, vegetables, cereals, pulses, tea and others. Others are more specific to certain fruits and vegetables, including, for example, anthocyanins, which are found mainly in small coloured fruits (blueberries, blackcurrants and others), as well as indoles in cabbage varieties.

·       The antioxidant activity of phytonutrients against free radicals (to which we are increasingly exposed) is now recognized. But, their biological effects, although still poorly understood, go beyond this antioxidant effect.

·       These phytonutrients have, among other things, the ability to reduce inflammatory reactions. This is what the anti-inflammatory diet aims at, recommending a very wide variety of fruits and vegetables and, more specifically, small fruits, oranges, tomatoes, leafy greens (and even soy), tea, red wine and dark chocolate.

·       In the anti-inflammatory diet, sunflower, corn and safflower oil are never used, but olive oil is fine.

·       But refined and "junk food" must be avoided.

·       These refined foods, such as white bread, pastries, white rice, and other types of junk food generally have a high glycemic index. They cause a dramatic increase in blood glucose (hyperglycemia). Hyperglycemia is related to inflammation.

·       In the anti-inflammatory diet, it is recommended to consume foods with a low glycemic index, as they cause less inflammation. Whole grain cereal products (rice, millet, buckwheat, quinoa) usually have a relatively low glycemic index, as do al dente cooked pasta and pulses.

·       Here is an overview of the glycemic index of some foods. It is recommended to emphasize foods with a glycemic index of less than 50. Montignac bread is remarkable for this.

·       Vegetables rich in solanine such as eggplants, potatoes, peppers and even tomatoes are not recommended at all.

·       The same applies to foods that are sources of allergy, such as sometimes wheat, dairy products, peanuts, beef and pork. So make sure you have a multitude of "ancient" plants such as purslane, rutabaga, Jerusalem artichokes and many "wild" plants such as dandelion on your plate.

·       And it must be stressed that sugar is a dangerous trouble-maker. We invite you to read or reread this article on sugar, by Dr. Andrew Weil: “Heart Disease: Is Sugar A Killer?”

·       All foods with a high glycemic index promote inflammation. Animal proteins, sugar and its derivatives produce pro-inflammatory compounds that accelerate tissue aging. In a study published in 2006, it is explained that a pro-inflammatory diet (including many refined starches, sugars, saturated and trans fats and few antioxidants and omega-3) could cause excessive activation of the innate immune system.

·        

 

NUTRIENT-BASED METHOD TO PREVENT AND MINIMIZE SYMPTOMS OF VIRAL INFECTION
​

Doctors from the Orthomolecular Medicine News Service and the International Society for Orthomolecular Medicine recommend a nutrient-based method to prevent and minimize the symptoms of viral infection. The following inexpensive additional levels are recommended for adults, for children they should be reduced proportional to body weight.
Vitamin C:     3,000 milligrams (or more) per day, in divided doses.
Vitamin D3:    2,000 international units per day (start with 5,000 IUs/day for two weeks, then reduce to 2,000)
Magnesium: 400 mg per day (in the form of citrate, malate, chelate or chloride)
Zinc:               20 mg per day
Selenium:      100 mcg (micrograms) per day.
It has been shown that vitamin C, vitamin D, magnesium, zinc and selenium strengthen the immune system against viruses.

 

STRENGTHENING IMMUNITY

 

·       Consume 2 grams of quality vitamin C daily. One possibility is Dr. Mercola Liposomal Vitamin C

·       Consume ginger infusions (e.g. black tea with piece of fresh ginger covered with boiling water), thyme, stinging nettle

·       Consume one clove of raw garlic every morning

·       Fast for 2 days and drink only liquids such as water, or squeezed orange and lemon  (Note: no juice with sugar added to the fruit)

·       It is important to hydrate well (drink water)

·       Take drops of essential oils

·       Sleep well: it is during your sleep that your body builds its immune defences.

 

 

 

ACTIVATED CHARCOAL

 

Available at pharmacies or in organic stores (effective against bloating): one spoon in a glass of water, 3 hours away from meals and other medicines.

Microporous so it traps the virus and evacuates it.

Research precautions for use.

AROMATHERAPY (see Essential oils usable against "Covid-19", p. 10)

We are told that we are dealing with a virus.

The official thesis of "pneumonia" does not seem to be validated by observation.

The viral infection results in a number of symptoms varying from case to case, which can cause cytokine shock and inflammation degenerating into generalized thromboembolism, particularly pulmonary, with the possibility of multiple organ failure.
  • It’s a question then of:
    • Viral infection
    • Inflammation (cytokine shock)
    • Cardiovascular problems (vascularity)
    • Even neuropathy (which is inflammation of the nerve endings)

In all logic, therefore, action should be taken:
  • By anti-inflammatory action (while ensuring a good immune system)
    • Complementing possibly with antibacterial action (in case of co-infection)
    • While decreasing the viral load (antiviral action)
    • And ensuring good blood circulation.

In this context, several studies show that essential oils have great antiviral power against RNA and DNA viruses. They can be used to disinfect hands, clean the environment and support the immune system:

Feedback tends to confirm the efficacy of antiviral essential oils on SARS-CoV-2 CORONAVIRUS, especially orally and in the form of inhalations (associated with heat).

The emergence of cytokine shocks implies that anti-inflammatory essential oils (such as Scots pine and wintergreen) are likely to be included in the protocol.
​
The existence of cardiovascular disorders (generalized thromboembolism mainly pulmonary) suggests that essential oils preventing the formation of clots (such as Italian Helichrysum or "Immortelle") could also be combined with antiviral treatment.

 

CHIA  SEEDS

 

 

Source of vegetable protein, chia seeds regulate the bowel. They contain 9 essential amino acids.

On contact with water, they swell and form a viscous gel. They can absorb up to 15 times their weight in water.

They are rich in fibre and promote bowel movement.

They regulate the blood pressure of people with hypertension (contribute to the prevention of cardiovascular disorders). They provide gradual energy to the body.

They contain omega-3 and omega-6 and have antioxidant properties.

 

 

Contraindications

According to the European Advisory Committee for Novel Foods and Processes, chia has an allergenic potential that has not yet been clearly determined. People who are allergic to other seeds (such as sesame or flax seeds) should therefore exercise caution because of a possible cross-allergy.

Chia is not recommended for people with prostate cancer or at risk of prostate cancer due to high levels of alphalinolenic acid.

 

Drug interactions

Theoretically, the effects of chia seeds could be in addition to those of antihypertensive or anticoagulant drugs.

 

What Is Chia Good For?

 

 

CHRISTOCYANIN (JADE RECHERCHE)

 

 

·       Comes in boxes of 21 ampoules.

·       Christocyanin – Phycocyanin is a dietary supplement based on spirulina and is highly concentrated in phycocyanin (20.5 mg).

·       It strengthens the body's natural defences and resistance.

·       In addition to Phycocyanin, the extract contains part of the water-soluble fraction of spirulina: proteins, amino acids, enzymes, sugars, water-soluble vitamins and mineral salts.

 

 

 

COLLOIDAL SILVER

 

Colloidal silver (solute of silver particles) is effective in eliminating more than 600 species of bacteria, viruses and microbes. It heals the most minor wounds up to more complex problems such as ulcers, heart problems or malaria. Thanks to its tissue-regenerating property which has been discovered, this miraculous solution could even cure some cancers. Colloidal silver has no side effects, but should be used in accordance with the dosage in order to complete the treatment in the best conditions. Insufficient and excessive dosage may make it less effective or unresponsive to viruses, bacteria, microbes and fungi.

 

Oral intake of colloidal silver

 

This is the most common method of using colloidal silver. It is recommended for the treatment of pneumonia and various infections. Dosage varies according to body weight.

 

Of course, the dosage should be reduced by half for children compared to that for an adult.

 

For prevention, 10-15 ml of solution taken 3 times a day is usually enough.

 

As a remedy, this dose should be multiplied by 3 (i.e., 30 ml, 3 times a day).

 

Taking this product for two weeks strengthens the immune system.

 

For best results and for the solution to act quickly, colloidal silver should be kept in the mouth under the tongue.

 

Oral colloidal silver is used both as a preventive and curative method.

 

Local application of colloidal silver

 

In local application it can be used as a spray, by use of a dropper or on a dressing (impregnated gauze), as a powerful disinfectant and bactericidal for an infinite number of ailments: shingles, burns, warts, chickenpox, scabies, conjunctivitis, allergies, mycosis, scalp care, acne, etc.

 

Silver particles act very quickly, deactivating bacteria on contact with them.

 

The spray method can be used against sinusitis, wounds, burns, external infections and more, using 1 to 3 sprays about 3 or 4 times a day. People suffering from conjunctivitis, eye irritation, otitis and other ailments resort to 1-3 drops per application at a frequency of 2-3 times a day.

 

Colloidal silver by inhalation

 

The inhalation technique of this product can treat certain infections such as respiratory tract infections and sinusitis, as well as combat toothache, aphthae, angina, tonsillitis and even chronic bad breath.

 

Using a nebulizer, the treatment consists of a 5-minute session three times a day.

 

 

 

GREEN CLAY

The approach of Doctor Jade ALLEGRE

 

Dr. Jade Allegre advocates a treatment intended to treat the intestines and says that in Chinese medicine, the lungs and intestines are linked:

 

Dr. Jade ALLEGRE video: https://youtu.be/kczrY_-sZrk

 

Green clay is a traditional treatment yet is at the cutting edge of scientific research.

 

Dr. Allegre cites the case of the three first people cured of “Covid-19” by green clay. She speaks of miraculous effects.

 

Of all the cases that followed the first three, 80% of patients were put right in two hours and 100% in 48 hours.

 

The clay must not be stopped as soon as one feels better. One should continue to take it for a month and a half, otherwise there is a resurgence.

 

Unheated clay, which is not denatured, should be taken.

 

Quarry Clay (35 kg for 7.50 euros) is very good.

CORONAVIRUS: TWO CURATIVE TREATMENTS TO CHOOSE FROM

 

You already have signs compatible with “Covid” – difficulty getting air into your lungs, dry cough, loss of taste and/or smell, fever, pallor, exhaustion.

 

1.     Green clay powder

 

USE A WOODEN OR PLASTIC SPOON (not metal).

 

2-3 times a day: put 2-3 tablespoons in a glass of water, take a minimum of two hours apart from any other medication, four if possible.

(1/2 dose under 5 years, 1/4 dose under 1 year).

 

Preparation: sprinkle in a glass of spring water if possible. Let stand for 5 minutes and then swirl and swallow all the contents (do not use metal container or utensil with clay).

 

Side effect: possible transient constipation, in this case ABSOLUTELY NO LAXATIVE, because the clay is healing your intestines. Stop the clay until the stool resumes naturally, then resume the clay.

Drink at least two hours apart from any other medication, ideally 4 hours.

 

2. Magnesium chloride (over-the-counter at the pharmacy)

 

Dilute 1 sachet of 20 grams in 1 litre of water, to drink within 24 hours, for as many days as necessary to stop the symptoms.

(1/2 litre under 10 years, 1/4 litre under 3 years).

It is possible to mitigate the unpleasant taste by putting in the refrigerator for a few hours and adding some lemon.

 

Side effect: diarrhoea, which is necessary – do not interrupt it.

 

SURVIVING IN THE CITY WHEN EVERYTHING STOPS, by Doctor Jade ALLEGRE

 

Get ALL the GREEN CLAYS available in your local stores and pharmacies. Prepare a test dose of each (1/2 teaspoon in 1/2 glass of water), the same day, and choose for your cure the one you prefer ... Listen to your body, rediscover your animal instincts! And keep the other clays for your external use …

 

IF TAKING CLAY MAKES YOU CONSTIPATED, it means that your intestines were sick before the cure, and that the clay has stuck on your bowel wall to heal it: take absolutely no laxative! Stop taking the clay cure, and calmly wait for the transit to resume, then resume your cure.

 

You could possibly follow up with a probiotic cure to strengthen your intestinal flora even more.

 

Clay is a natural anti-poison, it has a strong absorbing power: it attracts poisons and

it cleans the digestive system and clears the intestine. It cleans the digestive system and gets rid of toxins, germs, worms and pathogenic bacteria, without destroying the intestinal flora like antibiotics would.

 

It repairs the mucous membranes thanks to its healing and regenerating properties. It's an ally.

 

It’s powerful against ulcers, inflammations and even intestinal porosity. The syndrome

of the permeable intestine arises from a damaged bowel wall, which is no longer capable of correctly filtering the assimilated molecules. This potentially results in

immune problems, various allergies, thyroid and skin problems. Clay is a key step in stopping this process and restoring the intestine.

 

"Its antiseptic properties optimize the regenerative functions of clay in purification and cellular reconstitution of damaged tissues until total healing takes place through an entirely natural process", explains Bernard Baudouin in his book “Clay and its Virtues".

 

Clay acts as an anti-inflammatory: bone, muscle, joints. Clay is also an asset in case of sciatica even internally, to unclog toxins on the targeted nerve.

 

 

ESSENTIAL OILS HAVING PROPERTIES USABLE IN THE CASE OF A PROPOSED PROTOCOL AGAINST “COVID-19”

! = see precautions for use
NOTE: Prohibited in all cases for women up to 3 months pregnant.

NB. The applicable protocol will need to be adapted to the stage of progress of the disease. Essential oils that have interesting properties but are haemostatic have been excluded for use in the present case, taking into account the risks of thrombosis (such as Geranium (Egypt), which is an effective antibacterial and anti-inflammatory but which has haemostatic properties, or Geranium Rosat cv Bourbon).

NOTE: Essential oil does not dissolve in water, but only in oil. In case of incident, dilute with oil!

ANTI-VIRAL PROPERTIES OF ESSENTIAL OILS (see Essential oils usable against "Covid-19", p. 10)

Among antivirals and immunostimulants, the leader is the essential oil Ravintsara (Cinnamomum camphora).
It has a clearly established antiviral activity thanks to active ingredients, of which the main ones are terpene oxides (1,8-cineole), terpene alcohols (alpha-terpineol) and terpenes (pinenes).
It also has molecules similar to those of eucalyptus, which explains that added to its antiviral action is an anti-catarrhal action that is very useful in case of digestive or ENT viruses, which trigger catarrh.
Ravintsara has also been found to have a welcome antibacterial action since viruses and bacteria are often associated (the virus opens the door to bacterial infections). The virus has the possibility of getting in due to weakened immune defences. The essential oil will act by increasing these defences, in this case, immunoglobulins A and M (IgA and IgM). The underlying mechanisms of this life-saving plant are not yet understood, but their effects have been measured.

We now have the biological and clinical evidence, through numerous studies, of its formidable effectiveness.
Ravintsara therefore has all-risk coverage in infectious diseases.

Essential oils are now widely studied in research centres around the world: there is practically no university that does not have a unit devoted to this study.

Some areas are of particular interest to today's researchers.

A research centre in Australia has measured the virucidal activity of tea tree essential oil on the H1N virus, with promising results.
Other studies have been conducted on the action of peppermint essential oil on the herpes virus (HSV1 and HSV2): a contact of less than 24 hours between these viruses and peppermint essential oil eliminates them.

Other research is under way on coronaviruses, coxsackievirus, mononucleosis virus and hepatitis B virus (HBV). The action of the Ceylon cinnamon (bark) essential oil on the tuberculosis mycobacterium (Koch Bacillus) and the effects of the eucalyptus polybractea CT cryptone essential oil on the human papillomavirus (HPV) are also being studied.

In the field of immunity, fighting cold infections [as opposed to hot infections] with aromatherapy needs to be explored. For chemical treatments are virtually powerless against these because they do not manifest themselves clearly and undermine silently, whereas we had previously been used to bacteria which give clear symptoms, hot infections with fevers and catarrh, calling for known immune reactions.

We harbour a lot of bacteria in us, E. Coli, Klebsielle, Bacillus, Staphylococcus, Streptococcus, Borrelia, etc... which are essential to our metabolism in which they actively participate.

In excess, however, they turn against us and put us at their mercy.

Food, stress and environmental pollution are responsible for these imbalances, with essential oils coming to our rescue if we can listen to and trust them, while we are only now beginning to decipher them.

Fungi, bacteria, viruses: essential oils have the means to fight them all. Not to mention the value of a lighter, more flexible, more individual management of the specificities of the patient.
  • For aromatherapy, refer to the authoritative booklet:
    • HUILES ESSENTIELLES CHEMOTYPEES aromathérapie scientifique, by A. ZHIRI Docteur ès sciences, D. BAUDOUX, pharmacist & aromatologist, ML BREDA ISBN 2-919905-27-9. [or similar in English]
    • [See also the website of the Australian College of Aromatherapy (ACOA) and its glossary of essential oils: https://acoa.com.au/pages/glossary-of-essential-oils]
  • Caution: most chemotyped essential oils (CTEOs) are to be avoided for pregnant women in the first three months of pregnancy, and for children under 6 years.
  • For young children, it is preferable to use Ho Wood or Rosewood CTEOs as antivirals: 2 drops 3 times a day in honey, olive oil or on a sugar cube under the tongue.
  • Some oils are abortive (Wintergreen), can cause burns (Chinese cinnamon) or hypothermia if used on large areas (Peppermint). a test for an allergic reaction must always be carried out before use, for example by putting a drop of diluted CTEO on the wrist before use.
  • Before using essential oils, it is indispensable to check the precautions for use.
  • It would be ideal, of course, to undergo training in aromatherapy.
  • The CTEOs Laurus nobilis, Juniperus oxycedrus ssp. oxycedrus, Thuja orientalis, Cupressus sempervirens ssp. pyramidalis, Pistacia palaestina, Salvia officinalis, and Satureja thymbra have been found to have an inhibitory action on SARS‐CoV and HSV-1 activity. These CTEOs are characterized by the presence of β-ocimene, 1,8-cineole, α-pinene, and β‐pinene as essential constituents. (Phytochemical Analysis and in vitro Antiviral Activities of tht Essential Oils of Seven Lebanon Species. Monica R. Loizzo, Antoine M. Saab, Rosa Tundis, Giancarlo A. Statti, Francesco Menichinin Ilaria lampronti, Roberto Gambari, Jindrich Cinati, Hans Wilhelm Doerr).
  • In an interview conducted on 16 March 2020, Dr. Pierre Franchomme, father of aromatherapy, states that "’Covid-19’ is the same type of virus as SARS which has undergone some modifications. Both belong to the same family, with a different kind of serotype. The epidemic is in full development and information is gradually feeding back. But in general a virus still has a very specific tropism. For some it will be the respiratory mucosa, for others it will be the hepatic parenchyma, in principle each virus has its own target of choice. There are small mutations between, for example, the coronavirus of China and that of Saudi Arabia, each time giving slightly different pathologies. It is a virus that nevertheless seems relatively stable, from what I have been able to understand it has a fairly long RNA, or nucleic acid, not allowing it to mutate too much. Although other viruses have the ability to mutate enormously, the coronaviruses found in China or South America are very similar. By contrast, there are things that we do not know yet, are there small mutations that make it more virulent in some people, or are these people more vulnerable? We don't have all the answers yet. It’s still being studied.
  • Initially it is a pseudo-influenza syndrome, although obviously it is not at all the same virus as the flu. The coronavirus is contracted through the respiratory tract, so the upper mucosa is affected, then it quickly falls on the bronchi and lower lungs, attacking the alveoli and quickly causing a form of pneumonia. Note that a simple flu can also lead to these kinds of consequences and cause low infections, but less typically than coronavirus.
  • Magnesium, which is really indispensable in the fight against viral diseases, whatever they are.
  • Viruses are simply genetic material, in this case RNA (10), and this one, I mean the coronavirus, is contained in a membrane, that is to say it is encased.
  • Now this envelope is composed of phospholipids, which are extremely vulnerable to the volatile organic components of essential oils. Which means that all essential oils are going to have an action against this type of encased virus, with obviously differences in the intensity of this action according to the oils used.

The less specific ones will be weaker, while the more specific ones will be stronger.

In the current state of knowledge, we can already advocate Eucalyptus Globulus, which is active against this type of virus. (…)
I am recommending Laurus Nobilis and Eucalyptus Globulus. It is just important to choose an unrectified Eucalyptus oil. Because most of the time Eucalyptus oils are rectified to increase the level of eucalyptols, which is absurd because other molecules present are also very active on viruses. It is therefore important to opt for non-denatured or artisanal oils. As well as the Laurus Nobilis essential oil, which is extremely active in the pathology of coronavirus, as in many other viral diseases.
It is necessary to reach the place where the virus develops. To reach the lower part of the lungs, where capillary contact with the alveolar mucosa is located, one can act through the blood, and through the intravenous route in particular. Therefore, it will be necessary to massage the essential oil in places where a large venous network is located.

The first is the soles of the feet, it seems paradoxical but under the soles of the feet is a venous network called the Lejars venous sole of the foot, which permits the almost instantaneous passage of oils that will circulate on protein vehicles in the blood, pass into the systemic circulation, reach the heart, and from the heart go directly to the lungs.

A second important location is through the haemorrhoidal vein, either with suppositories, or simply with the help of rectal oils. In this second case it can be said that in a few minutes the essential oils will already be present at the level of the lungs.

A final option would be to apply them at the wrists, where the visible veins are located. But when the pathology is established, I would say that the rectal route is the safest strategy, especially in severe cases.”

Jean-Baptiste Loin: "Does the international scientific discourse on coronavirus seem to you limited solely to the avenues of conventional medicine?” "Yes, completely.” “(...) "The obligation is to remain within the official protocols. But in terms of the case that we are concerned with now, the problem is that there is no protocol since there is no approved therapy. (...) The huge difference between vaccines and essential oils: the vaccine focuses on a given strain, while essential oils can act on all strains to the extent that they pass by another channel. That is, by means of deconstruction, among other things, of the envelope of the virus.

ANTIVIRAL AND ANTIBACTERIAL CHEMOTYPED ESSENTIAL OILS (CTEOs)

There are a large number of antiviral CTEOs, of which some better known than others will go out of stock more quickly: see the list below.

These oils are to be taken orally only in diluted form: 3 or 4 drops on a sugar cube or in a spoon of olive oil or honey.

They can also be taken in inhalation (3 drops in the hottest water possible - the virus does not like heat, for example 2 drops of an antiviral CTEO below and 1 drop of PEPPERMINT to decongest the nasal cavities).

They can also be taken percutaneously (3 drops on the wrists and rub the wrists together – they quickly pass into the blood), but according to experts this method of administration is somewhat less effective.

CTEO ANTI-INFLAMMATORIES:
  • They are to be taken orally or by inhalation (Scots pine)
  • They can also be taken transdermally, on the wrists as indicated above or by massage on the back (e.g. Scots pine and wintergreen, diluted in a dab of LLR-G5 GEL or vegetable oil). Do not exceed the prescribed doses.
  • www.llrg5.com/fr/silicium-organique-g5
  • It is of note that LLR-G5, in addition to its anti-cancer properties, potentiates the action of essential oils while diluting them.

CTEOs as preventative treatment for thrombosis:
​
  • To be taken transdermally (Italian Helichrysum or "Immortelle").
  • HELICHRYSUM ITALICUM (SSP SEROTINUM): a plant from south-western Europe that grows in sandy, dry, sun-exposed soils. The yellow flowers produce through distillation a rare and exceptional essential oil that exhibits the most powerful anti-haematoma activity in the plant kingdom. It is also antiphlebitic, antispasmodic, astringent and wound-healing. It is used against varicose veins, rosacia and thrombosis.

ESSENTIAL OILS IN MASSAGES
​

Adults: every day, in the morning (and evening in the case of an epidemic) massage the chest, neck and between the shoulder blades with 5/6 drops of the mixture: CTEO Ravintsara 3ml / Eucalyptus Radiata 3ml / Niaouli 3ml / Clove 3ml calendula vegetable oil QS [“QS” not found – connected with quality certification?] one bottle 30ml
Children: CTEO = Rosewood 2ml / Niaouli 2ml / Eucalyptus Radiata 2ml / Lemon 2ml hazelnut vegetable oil QS [“QS” not found – connected with quality certification?] 30ml (1 fl)
CTEOs can be taken as a preventive measure, to prevent the virus from clinging to the trachea, for the duration of the epidemic, or as a curative measure, when the infection is declared.

FACT SHEETS ON ESSENTIAL OILS

 

​Some essential oils may be usefully included in a first aid kit or family pharmacy, in addition to their use against “Covid-19”.
Below you will find the fact sheets on some of the most useful essential oils.

The most interesting properties for the current case are highlighted in bold font.

Those that may be problematic are underlined.

CTEOs that are radioprotective for the skin are highlighted in bold, due to the propensity of 5G (mobile phone antennas whose development coincides with the pandemic) to severely weaken the immune system.

To use essential oils, it is indispensable to refer to [a reputable manual such as the following or similar:

Essential Oils Pocket Guide (17 Dec. 2019) by Dr. Josh Axe, Jordan Rubin and Ty Bollinger.]
To follow a course in aromatherapy [seek a professional body in your country such as the following:

What Is This Tiny Black Seed and What Is It Good For?

 

 

 

PHYCOCYANIN

A therapeutic gem

 

Phycocyanin is the noblest element of spirulina and klamath. It is a blue pigment that captures (solar) light energy, which is then transformed into biochemical energy in our cell factory. It is this ability to capture light photons that explains the remarkable qualities of Phycocyanin. Condensed solar energy.

The sun's rays reaching our planet turn into heat and light. The retained portion of this energy falls on living chlorophyll surfaces (leaves of trees, plants, grasses, etc.). This small portion of energy is then used to build organic substances that can feed plants, bacteria, animals and man.

So we see the paramount importance of the phenomenon of photosynthesis. It helps us understand what the presence of plant chlorophyll brings to man: the energy of the sun.

Spirulina has this particular feature: in addition to the chlorophyll it has in abundance, it makes phycocyanin, a unique protein complex that absorbs a very large part of the solar light spectrum, something other plants cannot do.

Phycocyanin "captures" photons and turns them into energy. It is the source of life.

·       Phycocyanin was administered to 270 Chernobyl children whose bone marrow had been damaged by radiation and enabled them to recover within six weeks, even though their bodies could no longer produce red blood cells. Phycocyanin normalizes the number of white blood cells and prevents the development of leukaemia.

An optimized immune system

·       Phycocyanin as an immunomodulator energizes the functions of the thymus (the latter plays an important role in cellular immunity). Phycocyanin activates the stem cells of bone marrow that are responsible for the production of all white blood cells. It strengthens the mucosal immune system – we find mucous membranes within the digestive tract; the respiratory, urinary and genital systems; as well as in the eye. It also plays a part in resistance to stress.

A potent antiviral

·       In 1996, the Faculty of Medicine at Harvard University and the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute were able to demonstrate that phycocyanin can inhibit the replication of HIV (AIDS virus) in T-lymphocytes and peripheral mononuclear blood cells at a concentration of 5 to 10 microns per ml. At higher doses, it stopped viral replication.

·       Other studies demonstrate the ability of phycocyanin and associated spirulina elements to inhibit other viruses such as influenza, mumps, measles, herpes simplex and cytomegalovirus.

·       Phycocyanin protects the cell by preventing the penetration of the virus through the membrane. The virus then cannot multiply and is then eliminated.

Cancer

·       A study conducted by Professor Madhawa Raj, a researcher at the Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center New Orleans, found that a cocktail of six natural compounds of vegetables, fruits, spices and roots eradicated 100% of breast cancer cells in a sample of patients without toxic side effects on healthy cells:

o   Curcumin, the active ingredient of turmeric.

o   Soy isoflavones.

o   Indole-3-Carbinol from cruciferous plants (such as broccoli).

o   Phycocyanin from spirulina.

o   Resveratrol from grapes (the active ingredient of a good French wine).

o   Quercetin, a flavonoid found in fruits, vegetables and tea.

The most powerful antioxidant ever known

Free radicals cause chain reactions that damage the phospholipids in the membranes of all our cells. The consequence is aging and degenerative diseases. In order to counter this phenomenon, our body itself produces powerful antioxidants such as superoxide dismutase (SOD) catalase and glutathione peroxidase.

Antioxidants are found in a natural diet. Among the best known are beta-carotene and vitamins C and E.

Additional studies show that phycocyanin has an antioxidant activity 70 times greater than SOD and 20 times more efficient than vitamins C and E.

Important liver protection

Phycocyanin is detoxifying and protects the liver. It reduces the hepatotoxicity generated by chemotherapies and, in fact, any chemical.

Indications: liver disease, chronic heavy metal poisoning, chemotherapy, hypercholesterolemia....

Why phycocyanin is so valuable

This active ingredient fully promotes the production of stem cells and thus promotes the production of white and red blood cells, and platelets. It significantly improves immunity and blood count. Phycocyanin treats leukaemia and radioactivity damage. It inhibits the breakdown of the DNA strand.

As mentioned above, it can be said that phycocyanin is perhaps the most powerful antioxidant known to date and also an anti-free radical, even at low doses.

As a powerful detoxifying agent of the liver and kidneys, phycocyanin promotes the synthesis of bile salts and faecal evacuation of cholesterol. In addition, it plays a preventative and curative role on atherosclerotic plaque, which is responsible for a third of deaths in Europe.

It always acts in cases of physical fatigue (production of erythropoietin (EPO), but not that taken by doped runners) and mental fatigue (because of antioxidant factors). It detoxifies the body and also calms hyperactive children.

Phycocyanin is also a fabulous anti-inflammatory and behaves as a powerful cellular oxygenator. In photosynthesis, this substance captures all the wavelengths of the photons of the sun.

Phycocyanin is one of those substances that, at the centre of the cyanobacteria (spirulina or klamath), were responsible for the presence of oxygen in the atmosphere.

It has unique cell-regeneration power and counteracts the development of cancer.

For optimal effect: the French manufacturer Raimond Reymondier offers phycocyanin extracted from fresh spirulina. A team of French researchers offer a highly concentrated phycocyanin (3g per litre) in "native" form and it is in this form that shows therapeutic results a hundred times higher than those found in other forms.

 

 

PHYTOTHERAPY

 

Decoction of boxwood (available at pharmacies, organic shops, forests in Corsica, in the Hautes-Alpes and in Savoy, in hedges or ornamental garden beds): 40g of Centaurea (leaves and small stems) in a litre of water, boil until reduced by half, let it brew and drink lukewarm in three parts: provokes abundant sweating.[*]

Used by some alpine villagers to protect themselves from the "Spanish Flu" of 1918.

Described as spectacular. Pay attention to precautions for use:

PROPOLIS

 

 

Propolis (harvested from beehives) is not only anti-bacterial and anti-viral but also anti-inflammatory.

It is used for immune weaknesses.

It is particularly interesting in this case.

 

 

QUERCETIN

 

·       QUERCETIN is an natural bronchodilator antiviral super nutrient, antioxidant, antihistamine, and anti-inflammatory, which reduces allergies and the risk of asthma, and prevents cardiovascular diseases (decrease in blood pressure).

·       It is also antimutagenic (anti-cancer).

·       Its effectiveness is proven as an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory, especially for allergic rhinitis, prostatitis.

·       Allergies: from 100 mg to 200 mg, 3 times a day, 20 minutes before meals.

·       Inflammation (prostatitis): from 200 mg to 400 mg, 3 times a day between meals.

·       Improves the absorption of Vitamin C in the body and delays its elimination.

·       Quercetin is a bitter flavonoid found in plants such as capers or lovage (mountain celery).

·       Reduces inflammation and associated pain. Slows down the effects of age. Protects the brain and nervous system from neuro-degenerative diseases. Decreases hypertension.

·       Reduces the aggregation of atheroma plaques in the arteries, responsible for infarcts, thrombosis and strokes.

·       Strengthens immunity while regulating the response of the immune system.

·       Powerful antihistamine, reduces allergic reactions such as eczema and hay fever, and decreases the severity of asthma attacks.

Precautions for use

·       Daily doses should not exceed 1,200 mg.

·       Do not take more than 500 mg in prolonged use (more than 2/3 months) without a therapist's recommendation: few data are available on long-term use. Does not produce negative effects when taken over a period of 3 months.

·       For pregnant women and children under 12 years of age, there are no known contraindications. However, in the absence of exact pharmacological data, it is advisable not to consume more than 500 mg over a maximum period of up to 1 month.

·       Do not take quercetin if you have a thyroid imbalance.

·       A long-term and large intake can cause kidney problems.

·       It is therefore not recommended to use it continuously.

·       When administered at prescribed doses, quercetin does not cause any adverse effects.

·       The most common side-effects of overdose are stomach and headache.

·       This substance is prohibited in individuals with kidney problems.

Drug Interactions

·       Quercetin may interact with the following treatments :

·       anticoagulants, as it can exert an anticoagulant effect.

·       Corticosteroids

·       May interact with Cyclosporin (an anti-rejection drug used mostly for transplant patients).

·       Can inhibit the action of antibiotics of the quinolone family. Do not take in case of chemotherapy, especially with Taxol.

·       Avoid in case of treatment with antibiotics of the family of fluoroquinolones.

·       Researcher Michel Chrétien in Canada (Clinical Research Institute of Montreal) indicates that quercetin may act on coronavirus, in a preventive and curative manner.

ORGANIC SILICON

LLR G5

 Dr Loïc Ribault

 

Anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory and cell-regenerating.

In gel dilution, potentiates the action of essential oils.

In its liquid form, can be taken orally, decreases the toxicity of aluminium on the nervous system (heavy metal spread by chemtrails and present in vaccines)

 

Silicon is a trace element found in the body and in certain foods of plant origin. Although it is not one of the so-called essential trace elements, it is an important element for the immune system and for maintaining good bone health.

 

·       It is an important trace element for the body

·       It is found in mineral water and in foods of plant origin

·       Fixes calcium, combats bone demineralization and is used to relieve various disorders, mainly of the bones, joints and skin

·       It plays a role in the fixation of calcium; in particular silicon is found in the osteoid border where the bone is formed

·       There is a high concentration of silicon in the thymus, an essential organ of the immune system. It also plays a role in the manufacture of antibodies. In addition to a balanced diet, silicon has a positive effect on people with osteoarthritis.

 

Foods naturally rich in silicon:

 

·       Almonds

·       Apples

·       Bananas

·       Barley

·       Dates

·       Garlic

·       Green beans

·       Hazelnuts

·       Lentils

·       Lettuce

·       Mineral water

·       Mushrooms

·       Oats

·       Onions

·       Parsley

·       Spelt

·       Wheat bran

·       White beans

·       Whole wheat

·       Wholemeal bread

 

Organic silicon LLR G5

 

Silicon G5 is the form of organic silicon best assimilated by the body. It minimizes the risk of crystallization in the kidneys since it is the form naturally present in the tissues: bones, skin, hair, tendons, etc.

 

Food supplements based on organic silicon are often found in the form of gel, capsules or oral solution. They are usually recommended for use in people with bone and joint diseases (osteoarthritis, arthritis, osteoporosis, etc.). They are also advised in some elderly people to prevent bone demineralization. Before taking silicon, ask your doctor for advice. There are certain contraindications to the use of organic silicon.

 

Side effects in case of excess silicon

Excess silicon is eliminated directly by the kidneys. It does not pose a risk to the body except in cases of renal failure.

 

Interaction of silicon with aluminium

Silicon reduces the assimilation and accumulation of aluminium. It could thus contribute to the prevention of certain neurodegenerative diseases by reducing the toxicity of aluminum on the cells of the nervous system.

 

The heavy metals aluminium and barium have been identified after analysis in the spraying of aerial chemical applications that have affected populations for years (chemtrails), particularly in the Var region of France (ANALITIKA laboratory). These are endocrine disruptors, which weaken the immune system and cause neurological diseases.

 

 

 

SPIRULINA

 

 

Spirulina is a nutrient-dense, freshwater algae. It grows naturally in the warm waters of lakes in India, Chad and Mexico.

 

·       We do not consume spirulina as is but dried. You will find spirulina available commercially in the form of powder to be added to the diet (in beverages or foods), capsules or tablets. You should pay attention to what you buy as there are very large disparities in quality. Some products are not really spirulina in its pure form. In addition, spirulina accumulates heavy metals when the culture medium is polluted. So pay attention to the geographical origin of spirulina.

 

·       Spirulina is extremely rich in beta-carotene, iron, vitamin B12, vitamin E (powerful antioxidant), proteins, minerals and trace elements (calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, zinc and copper). It also contains chlorophyll and phycocyanin, a pigment with antioxidant properties.

 

·       It is possible that spirulina is immunostimulating but this has not been demonstrated in humans. So far, only animal trials have shown an effect of spirulina on the immune system. The same applies to its antiviral, anti-allergic, anti-inflammatory, anti-neurodegenerative and anti-cancer properties. It is known that spirulina contains a lot of antioxidants that fight free radicals.

 

·       Spirulina is rich in protein, with all the essential amino acids, but there are factors limiting their assimilation – some amino acids are present in small quantities. To potentiate the assimilation of spirulina proteins, it should be combined with cereals : rice, millet, etc. However, it is necessary to balance this protein intake: if we compare the protein intake of 5 g of spirulina to the need for 60 g of protein of a 60-kg woman, we see that it remains marginal.

 

·       What is interesting with spirulina is that it is a natural product. It is therefore possible that the vitamins and minerals contained in it have a better availability than chemical dietary supplements. Its incredible wealth of beta-carotene is interesting for those who lack vitamin A. And since beta-carotene is a precursor of vitamin A, it will turn into vitamin A according to the needs of the body without the risk of overdose as with vitamin A supplements. Its wealth of iron and vitamin B12 could make it a good ally for the athlete or the anaemic or tired person.

 

Who should not take spirulina?

 

·       Pregnant and breastfeeding women should consult their doctor for advice. People suffering from gout should not consume it. Spirulina is also not recommended for those who suffer from phenylketonuria.

 

Note: spirulina can have adverse effects, especially nausea, which is why it is advised to those who want to consume it to increase the amounts ingested gradually.

 

Warning: when starting a course of spirulina, it is advisable to start gradually.

 

·       In practice, this means taking 1 gram per day for a week, then increasing the daily dose by 1 gram each week until generally reaching 3 grams per day (daily amount commonly recommended and sufficient for most consumers).

 

·       The ideal quantity varies according to each individual, his or her goals, metabolism, lifestyle and diet.

 

·       It is important to listen to your body so as to better define your own optimal dosage with the help of a therapist. It is also recommended to consume spirulina during the day (morning/noon) before or during meals preferably, in order to make the most of its stimulating effect.

 

Daily DOSE that could be RECOMMENDED for an adult:

 

·       Healthy person: 1.5 g to 2.5 g /day

·       Unfit 40-year-old: 2.5 g to 3 g /day

·       To treat temporary tiredness: 3 g /day

·       To combat exhaustion or weakness: 3.5 g /day

·       When ill: 4 g/ day

·       During convalescence: 4 g /day

·       People doing sport: 4 g to 10 g /day.

 

 

THE PSYCHOLOGICAL DIMENSION

Emotions such as anger can literally poison the environment of their author and rebound on him or her loaded with the potential for self-destruction.

It is the same with emotions of fear. This is what folk wisdom calls "making bad blood". And so it is also with anger, which also opens the door to disease.

Stress results in a constantly high level of cortisol and a leakage of minerals.

In addition to the usual psychosomatic disorders (depression, migraines, blood pressure, skin diseases – eczema, psoriasis – heart problems, respiratory disorders, gastric disorders, some liver disorders), oxidative stress represents a real danger to health. It promotes the aging of cells. Cancer is an emotional disease; it often appears as a result of an "intense and permanent conflict" or as a result of emotional shock (grief, separation, loss of employment).

That is why it is essential to be alert to what these events arouse in us.

In addition, anti-oxidants help to combat free radicals generated by stress. The main antioxidants are: bioflavonoids (quercetin), carotenoids, vitamins C and E, and selenium.
​
Whatever the scale of our challenges, let us remember that a small flame is enough to dispel the darkness of a room. And that little flame is in us.

In the darkest hours of human history, hope has always stood as a bulwark against defeatism. Today, this hope is called trust in life.
​

Our body is more resilient than we think, and we are full of unexpected strength, provided we keep a positive mindset.

 

WATCH OUT FOR ANXIETY

 

Anxiety (chronic fear) weakens your immune system.

Stay away from anxiety-provoking " News" with constant repetition of death tallies, and live in the present moment, in joy, with your loved ones.

It bears repeating that being happy is good for our health. Stress is pathogenic.

 

 

 

PSYCHOLOGICAL IMPACTS OF THE EPIDEMIC AND QUARANTINE

 

Anxiety – Stress

 

Anxiety, stress, distrust, trauma ... Living in the context of an epidemic like coronavirus can have psychological repercussions.

What psychological effects?

Living in an epidemic context is obviously not neutral from a psychological point of view; we must understand that a global epidemic is a traumatizing event whether we are directly or indirectly concerned: IT DIRECTLY CONFRONTS US WITH DEATH, or at least with the threat of death.

This type of event can generate a strong emotional load that is very difficult to control, which can have many psychological repercussions: emotional fatigue, sleep disorders, ceaseless worrying about the future, fear of others, impaired judgment, mood disorders, tendency to hypochondria ... It is this battery of psychological repercussions that we find has affected us since the beginning of “COVID-19”. This epidemic situation can affect everyone's mental health in one way or another and we each have our own way of reacting.

Some people may feel overwhelmed by events and do not understand what is happening, while others may experience fear or anxiety on a daily basis.

Some have measured and thoughtful reactions, while others react more extremely.

Reactions therefore depend on many factors, such as our exposure to the epidemic, our previous experience of stressful events, the support of the people around us, our physical health, our age, our personal history of mental health challenges.

Isolation, quarantine: what psychological consequences do they have?

First consequence: stigmatization or the sense of being a person to be avoided.

Quarantine or forced isolation is not a trivial experience.

The first consequence of isolation is stigmatization, in other words, the feeling of being pointed at, constantly raising suspicion, being the plague-ridden person to be avoided or the person through whom the disease occurs. In addition to this impression of being rejected, some quarantined people may also have the feeling of guilt for not taking the necessary measures and having potentially infected the people around them.

Quarantine is a potentially traumatizing experience.

Quarantine is therefore a potentially traumatizing experience for some and, like any trauma, symptoms (such as sleep disorders, mood disorders, generalized anxiety, up to depression or even post traumatic stress disorder) can manifest themselves much later, even months or years later "in the form of flashbacks, panic attacks, pathological alertness or hyper-vigilance".

Are there people at risk?

There is no typology of the person who would present more risks of psychological decompensation than another.

If someone has a tendency to hyper-anxiety, if someone is a hypochondriac or going through a depressive episode, what support is available?

Psychological support is essential to help overcome these impacts on mental well-being. Whether or not someone is directly concerned by the epidemic or not, he or she should not hesitate to talk about it to a health professional, even if the taking that action seems difficult, whether he or she wants to avoid the subject or feels ashamed at not managing to carry on as normal, depending on the symptoms and the level of trauma, the adult or the child can resort to a "CRISIS CELL", a mechanism that practises psychological medicine.

The purpose of this psychological or moral support cell is to identify the most vulnerable people and to refer them as soon as possible to specialists for a more individualized follow-up.

Short therapies such as cognitive and behavioural therapies (CBT) seem well suited to this kind of situation, but there are other methods such as hypnosis, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)  ...

How not to give in to psychosis.

Above all, one must protect oneself and the people around one by adopting simple behaviours recommended by the health organization.

The spread of “COVID-19” is certainly very worrying, but in order not to give in to excessive anxiety, one must avoid imagining catastrophic scenarios and do everything possible to put aside negative thoughts while remaining alert and vigilant.

The best way of distancing oneself from worries is to limit the sources of information.

Spending one’s time reading terrifying warning notices, listening to the radio or watching 24-hour news channels are anxiety-provoking activities that promote panic. One must continue living a normal life while taking the necessary precautions to avoid contamination.

 

 

MEDITATION

 

Meditation decreases anxiety, raises your vibratory rate and strengthens the immune system.

·       Sit in half-lotus position on a cushion (zafu) [or on a chair if more comfortable], knees in contact with the floor, back straight if possible, and stretch the spine as if pushing the sky with the head and the floor with the knees.

·       Keep the eyes half-closed, seeing everything.

·       Keep the back upright, but relax the rest of the body, especially the shoulders.

·       Put your hands together, the left hand in the right, with the edge of the hands against the lower abdomen and the thumbs gently touching each other, "neither mountain nor valley".

·       Come back to the body and the present moment, focusing on your breathing.

·       Exhale completely.

Let your breathing happen automatically, naturally, without thinking about it.

·       Let the thoughts that arise naturally pass by, without challenging them, without holding anything back, without thinking about “I”, without generating thoughts.

·       Remain in stillness.

·       Just be.

·       Let go. Leave beliefs and thoughts behind. Just sit, with no aim in mind, without focusing on any reason for sitting. Sit without purpose.

Stretch the back and release the shoulders.

Focus on the posture, on breathing, and let thoughts pass by, holding a slight inner smile.

·       From moment to moment always fresh, always available to a new present moment.

·       Let thoughts drift by: "The vast sky is not disturbed by the flight of white clouds".

There are many tutorials on the Internet explaining Zen meditation, which was practised by samurai. The samurai who practised Zen meditation were renowned for their power.

Meditation brings balance, relaxation, provides peaceful strength and restores you to an inner peace that enables clearer perception. This can make our actions much more effective.

Raising your vibration can place you beyond the fear of the virus.

The work of Professor Masaru EMOTO demonstrated the influence of emotions and thoughts on the state of matter (water structure):

The highest vibration is gratitude. Staying in a state of gratitude for life is the highest of protections.

 

 

LOCKDOWN CAN BE AN OPPORTUNITY

·       For your children to get to know and spend time with their parents.

·       To learn to say thank you – even in a whisper or even in our thoughts – to the people providing care to you or to one of your loved ones.

·       To stay quiet and listen to the intensity of silence. You will see how good it feels to discover the beauty of the music of life.

·       To see grandparents again, so dear to your little ones.

·       To remember the delicious smell of those dishes that your mother – now in intensive care – used to make, the fragrance of lily of the valley in spring, and sitting in the garden of your favourite country pub savouring a pint of real ale. With a little practice you will discover how to do this.

·       To observe nature renewing itself in this spring of 2020 and to look forward to the same rebirth in 2021.

·       To love and love again, but better.

·       To fear for one’s loved ones, and to tell yourself that you at least will not put them in danger.

·       To think of your own death, to remember your loved ones who have passed on before you and to remember their presence at your side, and to restore them to their place beside you.

·       To understand the invisible bond that was so lovingly forged by our mothers and grandmothers to help us recreate that sort of reassuring protection around us, that family nest, which shields and sometimes stifles us a bit.

·       To look forward to freedom from quarantine and any further quarantine, and above all, to look forward to you and yours being present at the dawn of a new era for humanity.

·       To learn the meaning of important words such as solidarity, caring, empathy, humility and humanity; they will be useful to you for your coming new life.
