The best way to treat the flu and colds is through prevention. Why suffer the pain, inconvenience and costs if they can be avoided?

Most of us are familiar with detox programs. All the detox programs I've seen require you to go through a Jarisch-Herxheimer reaction, a.k.a. healing crisis. I don't believe, and haven't found, a healing crisis is necessary if the detox is pleasant, easily done, affordable and done on a daily basis.

Instead of going through the fever, aches, pains and other symptoms, here's what I do and have done for years.

What's required? A seed or coffee grinder and a skillet to cook in.

My breakfast usually consists of ground flax seed, very high in Omega 3 EFAs. Flax oil goes rancid too quickly, doesn't store well and is too expensive. Ground pumpkin seed, good for prostate health as well as other things. Ground camelina sativa seed: a wild mustard and higher in some beneficials than flax seed. All three are easily grown.

Sometimes I add sesame seed, very high source of assimilable calcium but it's hard to grow unless you have 100-day growing seasons, and I'm not overly fond of the taste. Most of us who are aware of our diets get sufficient calcium, it's magnesium we're deficient in. Calcium makes bones hard, too hard and brittle if calcium/magnesium ratio isn't in balance. Magnesium makes bones flexible, too flexible and weak if magnesium/calcium ratio isn't in balance.

If you have lemon peel, it can add vitamin C, bioflavonoids and a pleasant taste. If fresh parsley is available I use it instead of lemon peel. Parsley grows almost anywhere and is equal to citrus in vitamin C and bioflavonoids.

I add, turmeric powder to taste (lots of health benefits), cayenne pepper, which is very beneficial for the prostate (causes prostate cancer cells to commit apoptosis...suicide), works for pain and has other benefits. Season the mix with Celtic sea salt (contains all necessary vitamins and minerals if it's a quality salt). Add some brown rice and an egg or two and scramble.

Most info states if you break the yolk when cooking it will instantly oxidize and cause cholesterol problems. If the yolk is encased in something, like the above mix, this isn't true unless you cook it almost to shoe leather.

I like the taste of the ground seed mix before adding rice, eggs or cooking. Raw, you get the benefits of the enzymes. It's also good with the rice but raw eggs are beyond my taste threshold.

The above detox has benefits where telomeres, anti-aging, weight loss and lean muscle mass are concerned. A good brisk daily walk, some yoga, Qi Gong or T'ai Chi, a good laugh or two, some EFT or Healing Codes and you're set to go.
