I just wanted to give you all a little perspective update on my stance with CV-19.

It’s changing not daily, but hourly as we all know, but here are some important things that may be helpful to consider:

Prevention without Panic

Please continue all the usual precautions of

• Hand washing with soap
• Resist touching your face
• Cough etiquette
• Observing social distancing
• Avoid all non-essential group gatherings – especially with those that have been travelling
• Remember the virus can be cleared with use of mild soap and water.
• Wiping surfaces regularly where you’re concerned people have coughed –  particularly important in workplaces, ATM machines,
• Handles of shopping baskets and trolleys are a great source of spread – wipe before using and/or your hands after use
• Child care centres being a mine-field of germs

Immune boosting

Some tips to boost your own immunity in conjunction to the above

• Increase nutrient density of your food choices – simply eat fresh foods that have more nutritional value – fruit and veg with protein
• Decrease toxic load to body – caffeine, alcohol, sugar, processed foods
• Stress management – stress does lower immunity – one of the issues around fear
• Sleep / Rest – the balance of work, exercise, play and rest

Herbs that help

• Echinacea
• Zinc
• Vit C
• Vit D
• Multi-Vitamin
• Medicinal Mushrooms
• Probioitics
• Turmeric and Ginger

Stay informed NOT feared

My clinic

I am running as per usual with some hyper vigilance

• Have pre-made immune tonic available
• Offering increased availability of on-line consults
• Fresh sterilised towels
• Treatment bed completely wiped with sanitiser between each client
• Sterilising between every client

Respect

For general public but also those visiting my clinic

• Those who suspect they have it: ie they have flu like symptoms, have had close contact with a person who has a positive diagnosis or with someone who is unwell and recently returned from overseas.
• If you have travelled ANYWHERE in the last month PLEASE let me know before appointment time

Those who are vulnerable

• Your GP can now do phone and video conferencing to consult.
• This service is available to people over the age of 70.
• Chronic diseases: including Asthma, Diabetes, Heart Disease.
• Children under 12 months of age.
• Pregnant women.
• Immunocompromised people.
• Those who are positive Covid 19

What to do:

If you are symptomatic.

• Stay at home. Regardless of whether or not you think you’ve been in contact with a positive person.
• Manage symptoms as you would any type of flu.
• Keep well hydrated. Manage aches and pains and fever in your usual ways.
• If you have difficulty breathing, UNRELIEVED by your usual measures:
  • Asthma: preventer puffer and ventolin – GO TO THE HOSPITAL!!!
  • If you can make a timely phone consult to your GP, they may be able to send your script to your local pharmacy for revised asthma management, if indicated.

I also have an eBook on Immune Boosting tonics available.

Plus a Herbal Immune Boost tonic for purchase.

Much love to you all.
