Other than self quarantining, or until one does so, my 1st line of defense against any
virus or bacteria is loading up on what has kept me flu and sick free for years while all
others around me (relatives, friends and co-workers) have succumbed to seasonal flu's,
stomach viruses, common colds, mysterious respiratory ailments, etc. I'd avoided it all,
and for many of those earlier years, while living very unhealthy; smoking, drinking, 6-8
sodas daily, overworked, stressed out, little sleep, crappy junk food, sedentary, with no
exercise, etc.
I'd mentioned it before, but what I'm a believer in and clinical trials have borne out,
is the 70 year old Diamond V Mills yeast products originally developed as a livestock
supplement. They later spun off a human supplement division under name of EpiCor.
Here's one of the original newsletter stories that really got ball rolling...
http://www.orost.org/Alternatives/0907Walt-noColdsFlu.pdf
I'd bought a 50 pound sack of the animal feed about 6-7 years ago and have shared it
and been taking it ever since, worked out to couple bucks/year for what I've personally
consumed, taking a teaspoon daily.
But, it's even easier, though pricier at about a quarter per day, for everyone to get
same benefit now without buying a sack full, with this OTC product you've probably
seen or maybe even already used...
And, with above formulation, you get some C, D, Selenium and Zinc, too, but the EpiCor
portion is the real active ingredient in it and if you poke around the net you'll see it really
does and can make a difference in your immune health. Background story is fascinating,
too, here's short version from http://www.epicorimmune.com/what_is_epicor/the-epicor-story/
In 1998, factory employees who worked directly with the yeast culture noticed that over the past years they were not using much sick time. This simple discovery began the negotiations with management about combining unused sick leave with vacation time. Once Diamond V management looked into this development, they confirmed that the factory workers had unusually low sick leave rates. Further investigation with Diamond V's Health insurance provider indicated actual health care claims per person were 40%-60% lower than other companies in the same region.
There had to be something extraordinary happening with the factory workers. Diamond V commissioned a pilot study comparing the factory to the office workers to determine if its yeast culture was having a beneficial effect on the human immune system.
The results showed the factory workers had a stronger immune system by increased Natural Killer cell activity, higher levels of secretory IgA (sIgA) and lower levels of pro-inflammatory complexes compared to office workers that did not come in contact with the yeast culture.
Of course, nothing guarantees protection from everything and there's plenty of other
things we could & should stock up on and do, but, IMO, this yeast product here should
be amongst all of our defenses from future biological threats.
Anyways, buy a sack of the animal supplement version Diamond V XPC and split it
with others, or buy it from ebay sellers in 1, 5, 10 or 20 pound sacks of it, or buy
any of the numerous immune boosting formulations now including EpiCor in them.
