- Strengthen your Immune System , and
Boost your Energy & Health Naturally
The immune system is a network of cells, tissues, and organs that help the body defend
from infections from outsider invaders, like bacteria, virus, fungi and toxins. It's a highly
adaptive, complex biological system that requires balance between all parts to function
properly.
This means optimal immune health relies on a multifaceted approach that focuses on
making healthy lifestyle choices.
we need to focus on the foundation that supports your immune system every day, and
that foundation is made up of good nutrition, moderate exercise, stress management,
and getting enough sleep. By maintaining this foundation, you can support your immune
system functioning optimally, and a strong immune system is your best defense against
infection and illness.
To ensure your immune system is as strong as it can be against outside invaders, here
are practical tips worth incorporating into your everyday life.
NATURAL HEALING
Holistic Perspective
(of course we can always complement with the conventional medicine approach, which is
expert in solving the symptoms (consequences),
but if we don’t solve the cause, (and change the habits that originated it), the symptoms
return, until we understand the message our body is sending us, and so, healing the
cause of the unbalances, so the disease doesn’t return anymore, and we can be
completely healed
we can also choose to, instead of having a synthetic extract in the form of a pill, (and
their consequent side effects)
we can choose to go to the original plant where that extract was taken from,
(as it is studied in the vast experience of naturopathy , and with much less side effects)
So, the biggest emotional causes of most diseases are when we accumulate emotions like
anger, sorrow, frustrations, resentment, envy, and the sense of guilt
where the nutrients have the most Life energy because they are alive (raw)
and their vitality is reflected on our health, revitalizing us completely...
Natural Healing based on Healthy Food
so, the most Life energy the food has, usually the most alkaline they are
(when cooking, or using refining/ processed food, the food loses their vitality and
become acidic, and consequently less healthy.
So this way, the ideal is to have the food with its most life energy possible (ideally raw,
sprouted or fermented (pro-biotics), (preferably local and from the actual season), and
organic. All this reflects in an increase o our vitality and health...
(notice that the lemon, although is an acid, on the body becomes alkalinizing, and so it’s
an excellent alkalinizer, for rejuvenating our immune system
-----------------
Anti-inflammatory Diet
Many diseases, including allergies, asthma, arthritis, and many others, are inflammatory
related diseases, which means that the immune system triggers a reactive response,
trying to defend from what it perceives as being an attack from the outside
environment...
so, an anti-inflammatory diet helps to calm down this internal “fire” reaction.
this is a diet rich in antioxidants, and free from foods that ignite even more our immune
system
so this diet is rich in natural foods, such as fruits, vegetables, whole cereals, seeds,
sprouts, and with most vitality possible (Living Food – (Raw)
with the exception of the cereals that can be cooked in a simple light way)
(check that even on most of the whole breads available, check if it doesn’t contain
chemicals or refined/white flours mixed in the ingredients)
we can make our own home bread with the ingredients we select
(check Essenes Living Bread recipe further ahead)
and of course, always look for organic food and ingredients, and try to live in a most
natural possible environment, and gradually attuning back with nature again, and so
informing our system that nature is our friend, and we don’t need to react against it, but
instead, learn to attune with her, and find the balance and harmony with our natural
environment...
- Whole Cereals -
In most diseases (including cancer, diabetes, obesity, depression and many others),
regulating the glycaemic levels (sugar levels in the body circulation) is priority.
also, the allergies and asthma symptoms are calmed down , by reducing the simple
sugars and refined cereals (which cause inflammatory reactions) and substituting them
with whole cereals
Most diseases causing organisms, (including cancer cells) are fed mostly by simple
sugars, so if we reduce/avoid them, these cells are reduced as they are not fed anymore,
and so they disappear naturally from our system, and our health simply returns
so, the whole cereals stabilize all that, as they are gradually assimilated, they give us long
term stable energy, and the cravings just disappear, because the glycemia (blood sugar
levels) is stabilized, and our energetic and emotional systems are stable and in balance
(you can also investigate about Ketogenic diet, an interesting approach on this subject)
water with Lemon
Lemon is a great source of vitamin C, which is
great for keeping our health balanced and
helping to boost our immune system.
Wash and peel the ginger, cut all in small pieces, Put them in a small jar of water and
leave it for the night. In the morning, you should strain the drink and consume it before
you eat and throughout the day.
Raw turnip
Excellent for regulating glycemia, reducing the cravings of sugar and sweets...
it’s recommended some thin slices, (half an hour after the lemon water detox), or
whenever we have cravings of sweet things, or as a snack between meals
- kombucha
- Sauerkraut (chucrute)
Probiotic bacteria have been shown to have a number of beneficial immune and health
effects, such as helping in the prevention and treating some illnesses.
they promote a healthy digestive tract and they are a very important part of our immune
system.
(In fact, up to 70 percent of your immune
system cells reside in our gut!
Many of the scientific studies on probiotics show that they can provide positive changes
for those with food allergies, behavioral disorders, mood changes, autoimmune disease,
arthritis, chronic fatigue, skin disorders, and even cancer.
Easy to digest, as its nutrients, when sprouting, are converted into simpler forms,
much easier to be absorbed, sprouts of certain seeds and nuts are an inexpensive and
simple way to add extra nutrients to the diet. They are easy to grow at home and the
ultimate local superfood. Even if you don’t have room for a garden, you can grow a jar of
sprouts on your kitchen counter. All it takes is a container, seeds, and water—and it's
incredibly cost-effective, as you can buy a large bag of seeds for very little money and
sprout those seeds for months.
Sprouts boost the immune system and alkalize the body, protecting it from disease
including cancer. They have great anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and detoxifying
qualities
About Gluten
Even the issue of the Gluten, as the wheat sprouts, is then converted on the
development of the cereal, being decomposed during its sprouting process, and so
becoming much more healthy for our health... (most of the supposed gluten intolerances,
are for the chemical used on this cereals production (glyphosate and others). so, if you
have gluten intolerance, try sprouting the wheat, and assure it comes from an organic
source, and you’ll see that most probably, on this way, it is already in harmony with our
health
Protein
it’s true that the proteins give muscular mass, but most people after reaching adulthood,
don’t need so much protein as we are told to believe, and the excess of that leads to
accumulation in the articulations, causing diseases like arthritis
(so if you articulations hurt or feel stuck, you probably have an excess of protein…
so reducing or avoiding proteins (in meat, or legumes . beans, peas, etc) and increase
poli-unsaturated (healthy) fats (oily seeds), will certainly improve your articulations and
joints mobility…
Iron
in vegetarian diets, it’s simple to find alternative sources of iron in foods like:
(better absorbed together with vitamin C sources, such as lemon, orange or green leaves
(raw)
B12 Vitamin
- Do you know that, just like other animals, are able to produce our B12, but it’s in the
intestine, below the absorption area, so usually it goes out before being assimilated…
unless we do occasionally a fasting (for more than 1 day), where we give space in the
intestines so the b12 can go up and be re-absorbed
where the water, coming from a spring, goes to a little stream, where it re-awakens from
it’s dormant state , by getting sunshine, and nutrients from the bacteria that live on the
earth, responsible for producing this natural b12 and other nutrients…
so drinking this Living water daily, (from the stream) gives us plenty of b12
also the bacteria that produce b12 live on the soil, and if we have a vegetable garden, our
vegetables have plenty of n12, so if we eat daily some leaves directly from the garden,
are assured to have all the B12 we need ( use the vegetables without washing (organic
agriculture) because the b12 is washed away with the water)
also, particularly on men, a lot of b12 and Life energy is lost every time we loose our
semen … so it’s really important to learn about tantra, and containing our Semen (and
still being able to Have the orgasms without loosing our Life energy
Fresh fruit
(and Living food – plenty of Vitality)
(and, as said above, on these cases it’s recommended to obtain the nutrients that give us
the most energy (which are the carbohydrates, on the form of whole cereals),
that as they are gradually assimilated, they don’t feed anymore the toxic cells, and give
us the energy we need, reflecting on our sensation of satisfaction (where the cravings of
sweet things just disappears, because our body as all the nutrients it needs – energy
sources (on the form of whole carbohydrates – whole cereals)
so, after these conditions return to balance, and stabilized our health,
we can re-introduce fresh fruit
and this should ideally be consumed in the morning, or until half an hour before the last
meal of the day ...
avoid having fruit (or sweet things) on the end of the day, because the liver needs to rest
during the night while we sleep, (without being working on the assimilation of the
sugars(fruits or sweets) from the last meal of the day )
this way, the liver can restore itself during the night, so it can give us strength and
vitality, and rejuvenating and restoring our health and immune system and giving us
plenty of energy the following day .
(you can try for yourselves, one day having one or two pieces of fruit, before bedtime (or
a day that we happen to have a desert after dinner) and comparing with another day that
we don’t have anything sweet after dinner, and certainly you will feel a difference on
your energy levels when waking up in the morning
- Cheese and dairy -
many cancers and allergies are associated to dairy, and when we stop having them,
around 95% of them just disappear completely
and on breast cancer, for example, which is our milk producing organ, the cheese gives
the information of coagulated milk, and from another species, so our system gets
confused, and also starts to coagulate the milk on the breast, and so the nodules appear,
expressing that confused information, and they disappear completely when we stop
cheese, (and yoghurts and dairy in general)
Other plants that increase immunity include astragalus and ginseng, both of which
boost resistance to infection and slow tumor growth. Aloe vera, St. John’s wort, and
licorice are also plants that have been shown to boost immunity.
Garlic is another plant that boosts the immune system. It contains allicin, ajoene, and
thiosulfinates that help prevent and fight infection. Historically, garlic has also been used
to treat fungal infections and disinfect wounds. The best way to receive the benefits of
garlic is to eat it raw, which might be quite a feat for some. Add raw garlic to pesto or
other sauces and in homemade vinaigrettes to reap its benefits.
Other culinary herbs said to boost the immune system are thyme and oregano.
Shitake mushrooms and chilies are known to increase immunity too.
Ginger and curcuma (turmeric)
Ginger and Curcuma are two excellent
anti-inflammatory foods with great
therapeutical effects, and they are
particularly promising natural agents
in fighting the ravages of aging and
degenerative diseases,
- Ginger (fresh) – equivalent to a small potato, unpeeled and cut in small pieces
- purple onion
- and the garlic is an excellent antibiotic for everything (raw, in the salads, or with some
olive oil on bread for example)
for chemotherapy detox, or to eliminate toxins / virus quickly, try using a sliced onion on
the bedroom while we sleep, that it absorbs the toxins from the environment...
although some traditions of yoga and ayurveda do not recommend these foods, because
they can excessively stimulate our mental waves, and also stimulating our sexual energy,
making it more difficult to focus, in practices such as meditation, for example…
so, we can choose the challenge of taking these practices to a new level of intensity,
accepting these (super) foods and maintaining the focus on our evolution, channelling
these energies to upper chakras (with practices such as Tantra and Yoga, for example),
and so, challenging ourselves to master these energies, while using these super foods,
contributing for the awakening of our vital energy - the Kundalini, and so, contributing
for our evolution and expansion of consciousness.
Energized Water
as you may already know, the water absorbs our intentions

Simple Recipe for Self Esteem
* I Love myself
* I accept myself as I am
* I forgive myself
* I value myself – I’m worth all the Love
* I respect myself
* I deserve the Best
“May the infinite Light of unconditional Love spread Light over my entire Being”
Repeat daily
Ideally in Nature , so our energies can flow in harmony and find our natural balance
Also, activities like Yoga, chi kung, Reiki and meditation also help to keep our body
(and spirit) balanced and healthy.
Cold showers
Alternating warm and cold showers is also a great boost to our immune system
Also relating to the vibration of the clothes, the colors influence a lot on the vibration we
attract to ourselves and what we radiate to our environment. This vibration reflects on
our life energy, health, general moods and vitality. As a general guideline, the brighter,
the higher the vibration, and the most vitality and vibrant we feel
If you like to know more, you can research about the “psychology of color”
Reduce stress and Rest when the body asks
Our modern society cultivates stress and productivity, at the expensive cost of our health
and body needs of rest and balance.
So it’s vital to re-learn to listen to the body’s needs, and rest when it asks for,
(and choose a lifestyle that allows us that freedom – remember we create our realities –
so visualize the ideal for you)
the coffee and burned/toasted substances (including cereals coffee (eg. barley)
give us a sensation of energy because of the information they give to our system of
something burning – Fire, so we need energy to run away from the fire, but that energy
comes from stress (from the energy reserves for emergencies from the kidneys), that, if
used as an habit, debilitate our immune system...
so it’s vital to re-learn to wake up naturally, soft and gradually, with the morning Sun,
and if we feel tired / sleepy, for example after lunch or in the heat hours, just listen to
the body’s request and take a nap, or meditate in nature for example, so our energy can
focus on digestion or regulating the body temperature.
Enjoy Nature and take plenty of Sunshine
Being outdoors, in Nature with plenty of Prana – Life Energy and enjoying the sunshine
(in the morning and mid-afternoon) is great for increasing our Vitality and immune
system
so for example in our homes, it makes a great difference when we get the habit of always
having a window slightly open, (including while we sleep), so the levels of oxygen, and
prana increase, from the average 10-20% to ideally around 80-90%, and we while surely
notice a great boost in our vitality...
Environment free of Radiations - (wi-fi and wireless phones)
it’s also recommended to reduce the use of mobile phones, that, even switched off, it is
proven they keep emitting toxic radiation, responsible of many cases of cancers and
immune system diseases...
so, if we really need to use it, at least keeping it away from the body, (away from the
ears/head and from the body (on the pocket), alternatively we can use the speakers or
headphones, and keeping whenever possible away from us (we can always check the
messages later and call back, or use more the written messages)
--------------
- Crystals and energy filters for radiations
if we have to go to environments with wifi and other radiations, we can use crystal such
as Selenite and black Tourmaline (this one needs cleaning after use, to discharge the
energies filtered, (the Selenite doesn’t need cleaning, as it is a salt that naturally keeps
itself self clean)
so, to make an energy filter for radiations, we can place crystals (quartz or Selenite), on
the corners of the space where we spend most time (bedroom, bed, office, living room,
etc)
we can also complement by putting a copper wire around the bed, with spirals on the
corners, with the vortex pointing down, rotating and narrowing down on the direction of
the Sun
and if possible, we can cover the walls with hexagon metal net (like the chicken wire net)
with the vortexes of the hexagons pointing up and down, and similar spirals on the lower
corners, or extending the copper wire, to connect and discharge directly on the earth
ground, deep on the earth
Grounding / Earthing - (Barefoot Enrootening)
we are electromagnetic
Beings,
and our bodies are a
conduit for the flow of energy...
when we walk barefoot, we absorb free electrons into our bodies, neutralizing and
releasing toxic free radicals. The two hundred thousand nerve endings on the sole of
each foot pick up the electrons transferred from the earth.
but what usually happens in our modern society is that we we’ve lost our literal
connections to the Earth and cut this natural flow of energy,
isolating ourselves from Mother Earth,
by living in isolated houses, sitting on chairs and in cars (which are isolated with rubber
tires), and when we go outside, we wear shoes with rubber and other isolating materials
so this brings an excessive accumulation of energy that needs to be discharged but is not
able to, so it manifests as inflammation (which is one of the main causes of most
diseases), and other syndromes of disconnection ...
We are born out of the Earth, with a deep and natural connection to her. Reconnecting to
nature starts with our feet, natural points of connection with the Earth.
For most Human existence, we have spent much of our days walking, sitting, and
sleeping directly on the ground. We are of the earth like fish are to the water and birds
are to the sky.
walking barefoot will calm your nervous system and help your body return to an optimal
electrical state, from which you’re better able to self-regulate and self-heal.
There’s something so freeing about taking our shoes off and feeling the soil or grass
beneath our toes.
As you walk and feel the earth below your feet, the way you interact with the world will
change.
Studies have shown that “Earthing”, - contacting the Earth directly with our feet - in the
soil, grass, sand, moss, anything natural on earth – can help reduce inflammation and
chronic pain, reduce stress, improve energy, and improve sleep and reinvigorate our
health.
if your thoughts are running rampant, step out barefoot and notice that your mind starts
to quiet and you feel more present in the body.
so if we get the habit of daily getting barefoot on nature, (for at least an hour), this will
restore our energy balance, and your health and energy system return to their Natural
Balance, and we feel with more vitality and connected with Earth and All the Universe

Circadian rhythm (day and night natural cycles)
Being in tune with the natural cycles brings us into our natural balance, with great
benefits on our health and immune system.
Natural circadian rhythm, (also known as day and night cycles) - Aims to be awake
in the daylight, and sleeping in the night,
( just as most nature does ) ...
( usually, if we just avoid using artificial light after the sunset, we naturally feel
sleepy, but when we turn a light on, (and that include the illuminated screens,
like the computer or the telephone), we are telling to our body system :
"it's daytime again, so let's be awake". And this makes our system confused, which
affects our health.
so, when we are in tune with the Sun and natural cycles, we realise we tend to wake
up naturally with the Sun, completely reinvigorated and full of energy and vitality...
Intermittent Fasting
Did you know the word “breakfast” comes from breaking the overnight fasting
period, and replenishing the body with a supply of healthy nutrients. It implies a period
of metabolic rest that we know from ancestral health is beneficial, but in recent time,
that period has shortened. fasting triggers a cascade of adaptive responses that can
prove that intermittent fasting benefits health and slows the aging process
With intermittent fasting, you only eat during a specific time. Fasting for a certain
number of hours each day or eating just one meal a couple days a week, can help your
body burn fat. And scientific evidence points to some health benefits, as well, including
chronic diseases like type 2 diabetes, heart disease, age-related neurodegenerative
disorders, even inflammatory bowel disease and many cancers. It also gives a general
boost to the immune system
Preserving and channelling our Life Energy, with the purpose of expansion of
Consciousness, and awakening our complete potential...
and reflecting on our Health and Vitality
Have you noticed that most of the spiritual traditions, focused on awakening and
evolution o consciousness,
practically all of them focus on the preservation of our Vital Energy (kundalini),
or with the practice of celibacy, or with tantra practices
(where we can have orgasms, without loosing the Semen – our Vital Energy
So, the Sungazing is recommended to do, only on the 1st hour after the Sunrise, or on
the hour before the sunset, looking at the Sun directly (without glasses in between),
starting with 10 secs, and adding 10 secs everyday (except if it’s cloudy or we missed
that day, and on that case, we keep the previous timing)
it’s also recommended to be barefoot on the earth, and having plenty of water and green
leaves vegetables (that give us the clorophyl, that help us make the photosynthesis, just
like the plants) (more info – check the authors Jasmuheen or HRM (Hira Ratan Manek)

that completely satisfy us (and the craving just disappears, as a sign the body is feeling
completely satisfied)...
Milk
Cereals milk (oats, etc)
Protein and
Carbohydrates Soy milk
(eat these with another food high in vitamin C to enhance absorption (such as a
salad with spinach and orange slices).
Red meat
iron (tips for better
absortion) Eat iron-rich foods along with foods that contain vitamin C, which helps the
body absorb the iron.
Avoid Tea and coffee – they contain compounds called polyphenols, which
can bind with iron making it harder for our bodies to absorb it.
Calcium also hinders the absorption of iron; avoid high-calcium foods for a
half hour before or after eating iron-rich foods.
