By to strengthening  your immune system now, you'll be protected for the coming cold  &  flu season.  

Our focus should be on strengthening our immune system because it is our frontline defense against viruses, bacteria, flu and colds.  But, outside of eating a healthy diet, what else can be done to further enhance your immunity?  Supplement your system!

Below is a basic daily protocol to strengthen the immune system prepared by Paul Bergner of the North American Institute of Medical Herbalism.  Included is my Nature’s Sunshine Products supplement recommendation (what you’ll find in my medicine cabinet for over 25 years.)  Use my sponsor # 203108 to become a member here (or simply order under my account) and find some of the best quality supplements available.  Let me know how I can help you get started.

Food Sources of Daily Basic Nutrient Protocol
Supplementation is a necessity in today’s world.  Because of the increasing soil depletion problem, eating even the best plant-based diet will not give you all the nutrients you need.  Food-sourced nutrients are readily absorbed by your body.   So, combining supplements with targeted foods is the most effective way to get balanced nutrition.  Here are some food suggestions for each of these nutrients.
​
Vitamin D – salmon, sardines and other fatty fish, mushrooms, egg yolks and good old-fashioned sunshine (including the calming benefit of being out in nature)
Zinc – Meats, shellfish, legumes, nuts, seeds (and thankfully dark chocolate!)
Vitamin C – fruits and vegetables, citrus fruits, cherries, Brussel sprouts, broccoli
Selenium – brazil nuts and fish
Omega 3 Essential Fatty Acids – mackerel, salmon, cod liver oil  ]]>Mon, 24 Aug 2020 07:00:00 GMThttp://drkimturner.com/blog/my-quarantine-prayer-meeting​When the quarantine began and businesses had to shut down, I could hardly believe it!  Once I got over the initial shock this was truly happening in my world, in my lifetime, I had a "prayer meeting" with myself that lasted 2 months.  It went something like this…
 
I believed that “Wellness is Simple,” right?  Right!
I decided then and there that Covid would not take me and mine down.
Next, I refused to plug into the fight
against this virus that was seemed to be consuming the world;
because I knew it would cause me to drown
in the sea of uncertainty, confusion and fear being hurled
through the social and news media everywhere. 
 
I knew a retreat was needed!
And the garden needed to be weeded
If I expected to produce a harvest by summer’s end.
By now, we were in quarantine until who knew when!
So, I gave myself permission to take a much-needed rest
because I knew that everything I believed would be put to the test.
 
Every weed I pulled, every shovel of soil I moved became symbolic
Of old programs and belief systems that held me back and caused me pain.
They had to be removed for me to clear the path
to regain the vision for my life’s purpose
I became like a squirming infant with the colic
Releasing those ideas that kept me chained in the 3-ring circus
Of my own making in my own head.
 
As the garden was cleared and the soil was fertilized,
I realized that I was too far into this retreat
to believe anything other than Divine Right Order.
Determined that I would not repeat
the same patterns that threatened to snatch me from the border
of fulfilling my life’s purpose,                                          
I found a body of energy work called Geo Tran
that immediately changes the way we see and respond to life.
My God-given vision of a better world,
“where people are fully empowered to create healthy, happy lives…”
Began to come in to a sharper focus.
 
As I planted the herb and vegetable seedlings,
So much of the needling in my soul began to disappear. 
As the plants were growing,
So was my knowing
That my soul was healing on such deep levels
that I never dreamed I could revel
in such simple pleasures as sitting still, watching my garden grow.
I felt like little Mary who was no longer contrary.
The new tools I was learning were leading me to create a more joyful life
with less strife about what I should be doing next.
I had reached the place where it was time to slow the pace,
and simply decide just how I wanted to spend the next thirty plus years of this precious life of mine.

I choose to be a part of creating a new world of love, joy, and peace.  We must actively choose you know, because no choice is still a choice.  I invite you to come grow with me!  If you want to learn more about GeoTran contact me at 910-228-8675 or drkim@drkimturner.com
