Doctor Erin’s take on acute, contagious diseases

Acute VIRAL Illness- and the Coronavirus At Options Naturopathic, we espouse reinforcing our NATURAL immunity to reduce susceptibility for any contractible disease. We not only trust in this methodology of protection and creation of optimal health, we are certain this is the best avenue for both ourselves, others and Mother Earth. We have seen this in our practice, ourselves, our children as well as in the empirical evidence from our naturopathic forefathers and colleagues. When we respect the sanctity of our own immunological development, and the capacity of our immunity to function properly, we no longer fear viruses or other microbes; we understand that the microbiome shifts to facilitate release of toxicity and to correct from toxic aggression and overload. Susceptibility typically depends on previous exposures to circumstances and toxicants that compromise our bodily function.  By circumstances, I do mean emotional experiences that we embodied, and then may need released in the form of an acute illness. Acute illness is a FACT of life and we will never “cure” the acute cold or flu entirely.  We must recognize it as a ‘reset’, whereby the body throws off the aggressors and we re-align with our optimally functioning physiology and balanced emotional state. Aside from basic hygiene to prevent an overload of microbes and toxins, and prevention of exposure to noxious and problematic chemicals (including carcinogenic disinfectants we think are protecting us!), ALL of the following can help when suffering symptoms of an acute virus or flu. 200 years + evidence of traditional medicine to counter the pharmaceuticals of the counterpart of classical conventional prescribing are below. We are listing more items than needed, so that you can cull from your own stash, as needed! You do not necessarily need to do all of this, but the more you do the more aggressive the treatment will be. Generally 2-4 items will cover you; using more items if you typically get more severe symptoms.
