SHORING UP THE BULWARKS

A solid wall-like structure saved many an ancient castle from being taken. The Great Wall of China speaks volumes about protective measures used throughout the centuries to save their country from invaders. Presently we are searching for what measures may be needed to keep the pandemic flu at bay and the millions of dollars required for massive vaccinations each year. Dr. Brian Goldman suggests changes may have to be made. Does one flu shot protect us for the rest of our lives?

Perhaps the voices of nutritionists who speak about shoring up the defenses of the body itself with foods needed to build the ramparts of the body itself are not heard from enough. Perhaps the need for the vitamins from fresh vegetables and fruits should be given out by doctors as a prescription. Simone Gabbay, RNCP, writes a bi-month column in Venture Inward. Her columns appear in many other health magazines and in her books as well, and brings a new challenge on the subject. Nourishing the body with 70 percent live foods - the fruits, vegetables and salads - the alkaline reacting foods, always set a pleasant buffet table for the body so each cell within can have a good selection to build up the immunity needed. Fish, chicken, lamb,are good proteins, the whole grains, along with those in the bean family offer the needed protein required for a healthy body so each cell can build the immunity required to handle all germ invaders. That, with the hand washing we heard about on various news programs, and the needed exercise for each day should keep us safe. For further information: www.holistic-nutrition.com.
