Remember one key piece of information: Not every victim of Ebola has died of Ebola. That means that some people do survive the virus. Keeping your immune system strong is definitely your best natural defense.

5 Tips on how to protect you and your family from EBOLA (or any virus/bacteria)

1. Focus on your immune system

• Eat a diet high in fruits, legumes, seeds, nuts and vegetables to give your body a high dose of minerals and vitamins
• Increase dark leafy bitter greens, like kale, bok choy, watercress and Swiss Chard to help alkalize your pH
• Get plenty of fiber such as chia and flaxseed as a “broom” to help sweep out the toxins in your gut
• Drink water! Avoid sugary soft drinks, diet drinks and “energy” drinks
• Avoid inflammatory foods including fried foods, refined sugar, dairy, alcohol, excess animal proteins and excess wheat products

2. Stock up on Anti-viral foods

God has provided us with some amazing healing foods that are powerful anti-inflammatories and great immune boosters. They also happen to be amazing anti-viral and anti-bacterial foods. These include:

• Ginger
• Tumeric
• Fennel
• Lemongrass
• Leek
• Cinnamon
• Cayenne Pepper
• Lemon/Lime
• Onions
• Garlic

You can add these foods to your diet naturally in your smoothies or salad dressings and boost your immunity naturally.

3. Get on Anti-viral herbs

• Grapefruit Seed Extract (GSE)
• Echinacea
• Goldenseal
• Cinnamon oil
• Ginger Gel capsules
• Organic Turmeric Capsules
• Manuka Honey

4. Increase immune-boosting vitamins and minerals

1. Vitamin C – highest found in pineapple, oranges, lemons, parsley and high-antioxidant fruits like berries and pomegranate
2. Zinc – found in sesame seeds, tahini, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds and dark leafy greens like kale and watercress
3. Selenium – found in organic Brazil nuts and walnuts
4. Moringa – found in teas and extracts from the moringa oliefera free

5. Get some personal protective equipment

Surgical Masks and Nitrile gloves (I recommend these because they are safe for high allergen people, including latex allergy)

Why masks and gloves? Because you’re greatest risk of exposure is touching something with your hands or breathing something in your mouth. So travel smart! Don’t wait until there is a massive epidemic to decide that your family should have masks and gloves, only to find out that you can’t get them anywhere!
