Eugene Chapter response to COVID-19

I have been thinking long and hard about: “What should the Eugene Chapter’s response be to COVID-19?”

The short answer, is that our upcoming meetings will be held online (see more about Zoom meetings below).

 

I have several thoughts, about what to do. First of all focus on nutrient-dense foods. The Wise Traditions principles are perfectly suited for improving resistance to Coronavirus (or any virus):

Recommendations:

  1. Vitamin A-rich foods: Vitamin A is our number one protection against viruses. So take your cod liver oil, one that contains natural vitamin A and eat liver about once a week.
  2. Vitamin D: Vitamin D works with vitamin A to give us a strong immune system. Best sources are cod liver oil, egg yolks from pastured hens, butter from grass-fed cows, fish eggs and lard from pigs raised outdoors.
  3. Coconut Oil: The coronavirus is a lipid-coated virus that pegs out (dies) in the presence of medium-chain triglycerides–and coconut oil is our best source of these healthy fats.
  4. Gelatin-rich bone broth: Supports the immune system and helps us detoxify.
  5. Vitamin C: Your best source is fermented veggies like sauerkraut–there is ten times more vitamin C in sauerkraut than in fresh cabbage!
  6. Saturated Fats: Coronavirus has an affinity for the lungs, and the lungs can’t work without saturated fats, so eat plenty of butter and avoid all industrial fats and oils.
  7. Raw Milk: Raw whole milk from pastured cows contains many compounds that strengthen the immune system.

From Sally Fallon-Morell: How to Protect Yourself from Coronavirus (Or Any Virus)

I also think it is important to remember that in any epidemic there is a segment of the population who is exposed but never manifests symptoms of the disease. There will be some people who get mildly sick and wonder what all the fuss is about. Then there are people who get seriously ill and a few who die. I believe it is our job to try to be in one of the first two categories rather than the last. Unlike most of the messages in the news right now, at the Weston Price Foundation we believe that how your body responds to a virus is not simply chance, but is based on your overall health and nutrient status. This is good news because that means there is something you can do to protect yourself!

Americans have more chronic disease and worse health than other nations (and consume more junk food than any other country and yes, I believe there is a causal relationship between the two), but YOU are not average. Even if you are new to this way of eating, the fact that you are here shows that you have more knowledge about the connection between nutrition and health than 99% of Americans. And even though we are not meeting in person right now, I would trust hanging out with our local chapter over any other random group of people in America.

So you can choose to whine about how you don’t like the taste of cod liver oil, complain that making bone broth is so time-consuming, hide out in a bunker, sanitizing everything, and live in fear believing there is nothing you can do to improve your resistance to disease or you can take control of your health.

I also recommend learning about homeopathy. Homeopaths have been treating and preventing flu for over two centuries. Joette Calabrese recommends Ignatia 200C to combat the Ferocious Flu Fears and Gelsemium 30 or other remedies to prevent or treat the disease.

I do have concerns about what this panic is going to do to our society. I know that when people make decisions out of fear, they are usually not good decisions. So I urge you to avoid TV and other media if it contributes to your fear, and take time to do some sort of calming practice, whether it is meditation, mindfulness, prayer, earthing, artwork, spending time in nature or anything else that helps you remain sane.

I also worry that this fear will lead to more social isolation in a time when we are already more disconnected than ever before. The Eugene Chapter will remain available to you for resources and I’ll keep coming up with ideas on how to strengthen our local WAPF community!

So here are my recommendations:

  • Eat nutrient-dense foods from the above list.
  • Take your cod liver oil whether you like it or not.
  • Find ways to stay calm and centered.
  • Be kind to each other and help each other.
  • Be prepared to take care of yourself but ask for help if you need it.
  • Learn about homeopathy.
  • Keep connected with community.

I think these are good tips at any time.

And just to be clear, this is meant to be in addition to other precautions you are taking, not instead of. I always think it is wise to have a store of food and supplies for any type of emergency. I assume you’ve all already heard the advice to wash your hands, minimize contact with others and stay home as much as possible, you don’t need me to reiterate those instructions. I do think this is a good time to stay home and make sauerkraut and bone broth! Contact me if you need help. We will be covering these topics in future meetings.

– Lisa

March 27: DVD – Protection Against Flu

Hilary Andrews, ND, was born at the base of the Canadian Rockies into a family committed to nature and environmental conservation. My parents raised me with a love of the earth and of animals and it is to that end that I became a naturopathic physician. I graduated from the National College of Naturopathic Medicine – now called National University of Natural Medicine – with academic honors and was voted valedictorian by my fellow graduating class.

My profound interest in optimizing childhood health and nutrition led me to examine the topic of immunizations. In 2004, I began exploring this topic in-depth and soon it became a passion of mine. I combined the scientific data regarding vaccines, the science of the body and my strong foundational knowledge of health from my naturopathic education to create an optimal approach to infectious disease. Since 2006 I have lectured extensively on the topic of immunizations and have created several CE courses on the subject.

Most recently I began the most passionate job of my life–that of mommy. My naturopathic husband and I are the proud parents of an energetic, spirited son. His life has strengthened my determination to help doctors understand vaccines and learn safer ways to vaccinate. To that end they can then help parents create the happiest, healthiest babies on the planet. I hope that my passion for natural health is purely and that I serve as an inspiration.

Natural Therapeutics for Preventing Flu

I was organizing files on my computer and ran across this file called “The Local Connection: Natural Therapeutics for Preventing, or Reducing the Severity of, Influenza Infection” sent to me by local Eugene Chapter member, Nick Routledge.  It describes how a diet based on the Weston A. Price Foundation principles is part of a program to improve immune system.

The Local Connection: Natural Therapeutics for Preventing,
or Reducing the Severity of, Influenza Infection.

By Nick Routledge and Sonja Ljungdahl
Eugene-Springfield.
Version 2.22 (Updated September 26, 2009)

A wealth of evidence clearly shows that simple steps to support general health are a highly effective way of significantly reducing the likelihood of influenza infection and of markedly lessening the severity of symptoms should infection occur. Here’s a simple guide to stacking the odds in your favor.

1. Food as medicine
We eat three times a day. Why not have food be your medicine? A truly coherent diet not only supports your health but the wellbeing of everything and everybody around you – local soils, water, flora, fauna and community. Vitamin and mineral content of food varies enormously depending on the methods used to raise that food: the micronutrient content of American fruits, vegetables and meat products has declined significantly during the last fifty years.

Even among those of us eating balanced diets, chronic, commonplace, nutritional deficiencies confirm that most commercially-sourced foods are now ‘anemic’, simply lacking the nutritional density of their forebears. A sound diet is therefore keenly alert not only to the balance of its ingredients, and the aptness of its preparation but, crucially, the integrity of its source. Your best medicine is local food raised on well-stewarded soils.

2. Support healthy digestion year-round.
We strongly recommend a diet consisting of whole foods that are fresh, nutrient-dense, properly prepared and raised by local growers you trust….
