Riyue Posted October 21, 2009 Since there are a lot of people interested in daoist medicine here - it would be fine to hear their thoughts about prevention concerning 2009 H1N1 Influenza . Do you recommend the 2009 H1N1 influenza (flu) vaccine (shot)? How do you optimize your nutrition? - any special qigong exercises? What are you doing additional to the well known recommendations ? http://www.cdc.gov/h1n1flu/general_info.htm Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
~jK~ Posted November 13, 2009 Since there are a lot of people interested in daoist medicine here - it would be fine to hear their thoughts about prevention concerning 2009 H1N1 Influenza . Do you recommend the 2009 H1N1 influenza (flu) vaccine (shot)? How do you optimize your nutrition? - any special qigong exercises? What are you doing additional to the well known recommendations ? http://www.cdc.gov/h1n1flu/general_info.htm Good characters of Sun & Moon - together they mean enlightenment. I live in China and have not even had a slight cold since I began the process listed below. Obviously I cannot say what it will do for others but it has worked for me - for about 10 years. The Theory: Making an enzyme rich juice that helps to rebuild our immune system through replacing the enzyme depleation of the Pancreas. Our society is an almost 100% cooked food society. Temperatures above 105 F' destroy enzymes For millions of years we have eaten food raw. Cooking foods destroys the enzymes. Our body does not manufacture enzymes. We must get them in our food. The rules: The # 1 rule is no heat above 100'F (55' C) The # 2 rule is Be careful eating the beans like a salad as an unsprouted bean can break a tooth... The process: Using Mung Beans Making a juice extract by sprouting (1/4 to 1/2 of a cup) of the seeds so that they have a root emerging no more than 1/8 inch. It takes about 24 hours to sprout the seeds in the summer. The process: I cover them in tap water for about 4 hours & then pour the water away, let them dry for a few hours & cover them with tap water again and repeat the process untill they sprout.untill they have a root emerging no more than 1/8 inch. Then put them in a blender with about 3 times as much cold distilled water as seeds. Blend them with the cold water so that the seeds become like a powder and the water becomes green. Strain the blended seeds & water through a stainless steel wire type filtering seive that you can find at grocery stores & drink the juice while it is fresh. Throw away the grounds. To build up your enzyme bank in your pancreas, you will need to do this every 2 or 3 days for a month or 2. Then about once a week. Even if I begin feeling a little sick, if I drink the juice, the illness does not develop. I keep some of the semi sprouted beans in the refridgerator most of the time & snack on them - but the juice extract is what really works. Be careful eating the beans like a salad as an unsprouted bean can break a tooth... The juice also acts as a catalyst for the endocrine system to bring hormones into balance.

Lok Tao means green bean) By the way - happy early Christmas - Free Meditation e-cards for all. http://www.dailyzen.com/gifts/poster01.asp?id=27 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sheng zhen Posted November 13, 2009 Someone at work asked my why I dont get sick when everybody around me is sick. She kept thinking and finally she got it and pointed at me and said "I know why! When you go home after work you rest and relax!" Other than that I also have been eating lots of Vitamin D, zeolites, spirulina, american ginseng and greens, and Ive been drinking alkalized water. I think that helps a lot. I also do my everyday meditation and qigong ofcource. That helps too Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
