It is vital that you nourish and maintain a healthy microbiome in your gut, which is is responsible for over 70% of your body’s immunity. This means avoiding all refined sugar and carbs, GMOs, junk food, damaged fats/oils, gluten, glyphosate, fluoride, and other toxic chemicals. Go organic and eat for your blood type!

While there is an abundance of general helpful tips for hygiene and treating a virus, few if any address how to PREVENT a viral attack. When it comes to Nature, no one panacea (pill or vaccine) ever works, because the human body is far too complex. Thus, a multitude of measures are needed to prevent or alleviate viral attacks. Below are 18 vital tips that I found to be very effective.

1. Bathe in sunlight/full-spectrum natural daylight without sunglasses for at least one hour a day. Longer would be better as long as you don’t burn your skin. Wearing a hat can protect your face from burning. Sunlight/full-spectrum, natural daylight radiates ultra violet light, which kills viruses and bacteria. UVA, the morning red spectrum of sunlight, is highly beneficial for many bodily functions. It is also used for healing many skin ailments such as psoriasis. UVB is required for vitamin D (a hormone) synthesis, which is one of the strongest known anti-cancer nutrients. Daily exposure to sunshine on the skin’s natural oils enables the body produce vitamin D and nitric oxide. This greatly strengthens the immune system to help prevent illnesses or diseases. Use common sense and listen to your body. When your skin feels like it is burning, go into the shade. AVOID using sunblock/sunscreen, which gives false protection from too much sun exposure. Sunblock weakens your immune system by blocking production of natural vitamin D. The best time to sunbathe is in the morning before 11:00 AM and after 2:00 PM to sunset. Organic gardeners and artists who work long hours in sunlight/full spectrum daylight have among the longest life spans of any profession. The sun itself is not the problem. Damage and sunspots occur when sunlight reacts with chemicals, including caffeine and medications in the body. Plus, skin cancers are more prevalent in people who live in the cooler regions than along the equatorial regions.

When plants don’t get enough full-spectrum daylight, they soon become diseased and eventually die. The human body no different. The more full spectrum daylight the better.
