Notes:
Just in “normal” life, we have personally found the oil of oregano to be a game changer, when we start to feel our immune systems wavering…or when we start getting any mucus symptoms.
It’s really strong, but as an anti-viral and anti-microbial, it really works!
And the colloidal silver has been so helpful for us to take with the first sign of any viral symptoms, whether one is feeling flu like or getting a cold sore/viral outbreak (try putting the colloidal silver directly on your lip with the first sign of cold sore, it usually helps to clear it up…along with taking L-lysine and lemon balm herb etc)…
Also, we love the tea…we make the garlic/ginger/lemon tea, have it around all winter…we drink a cup every day or every other day…and now we add the white pine needles and we add star anise too…sooooooo good!
