36. A different perspective.... strengthen YOURSELF.

Infectious Diseases

The awareness of the risk of infectious disease is growing with the rise in new pandemic infections, such as Avian flu, SARS and West Nile and the threat of mass epidemics from bioterrorism. Antibiotic-resistant bacteria have become a major concern of the medical community as existing antibiotics become less effective.

Numerous preclinical and clinical studies support the utility of Biopolymer Engineering’s compounds to protect against a wide range of infectious diseases caused by Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, viruses and other pathogens. Perhaps more importantly, the company’s compounds dramatically enhance the effectiveness of antibiotics, even against antibiotic-resistant infections.





Naturopathic Approach
Prevention Strategies

* Regular, rigorous hand washing with greater than 50 C water with soap and/or detergent is recommended to decrease the likelihood of infection and prevent the spread of the virus
* The best way to ensure that the avian flu does not cause signs and symptoms in humans is to ensure an optimal innate immune system and robust terrain.
o Minimize sugar and saturated fat intake
o Consume healthy protein with every meal (nuts, seeds, legumes, fish)
o Address lifestyle stressors and have optimal sleep and rest
o Ensure a minimum of 8 glasses of water a day
o A daily routine that includes dry skin brushing, contrast showers o Exercise a minimum of 3 times a week for at least 30 minutes
o Work with your naturopathic doctors to determine what individual recommendations are required.
* Heat whole poultry to at least 85 C for 30 minutes before eating
* Heat eggs and other poultry products to at least 75 C
* Avoid high risk areas

Treatment Strategies

* There are a number of highly effective naturopathic treatments to eliminate the signs and symptoms of the Avian flu virus.
* If you have any of the symptoms of the avian flu and you have been in contact with birds, contact your naturopathic or medical doctor immediately
* As part of the treatment, your naturopathic doctor may recommend . . .
o Botanical or homeopathic therapies to fight the infection.
o Specific supplements, based on individual signs and symptoms, to increase the body’s ability to fight the infection and to restore balance to the body.
o Strict dietary changes to support immune function, maximize nutrients and increase the effective role of the digestive tract in immunity.
o Blood work, chest x-ray or other laboratory tests to help identify the cause of the signs and symptoms.
o Isolation of infected people with mandatory personal protective equipment including a high efficiency mask (N-95), gloves and gown but their health care providers.
