White Lung: Tips and Precautions
Staying safe this holiday season
Hey everyone,
MM has been warning that white lung is coming to town, and so I wanted to put together a post highlighting some precautions you can take to help avoid it as well as things you can do to mitigate symptoms and overcome it quickly if you do catch it.
"I’m trying to let everybody know, that [stuff] is coming to town. And it’s a wave, where everybody in the family is gonna be coughing their guts out. The media is keeping it quiet"
Precautions
Here are some tips for avoiding bugs:
Be careful about what surfaces you touch, and wash your hands regularly. Shopping carts, gas pumps, door handles, packages, and others' hands are common vectors for the spread of germs. Avoid touching your face and eyes when your hands are not clean, and be sure your hands are clean before eating. Handi-wipes are a good thing to carry out with you - even the alcohol ones are worth it to avoid catching a bug.
When eating at a restaurant, order dishes that are piping hot. The heat can help to kill any germs that may have contaminated your food.
+ here are some general tips to keep your immune system strong so that you can battle any germs you do catch:
Prioritize sleep and good self-care, especially if you're feeling run down or stressed.
As much as you can, avoid exposure to toxins like synthetic fragrances and perfumes that will diminish your immunity.
Take immune building supplements like zinc, cat's claw, vitamin C, lemon balm, B12, spirulina, and chaga. If you can't take these year round, aim to have them when you are under particular stress and busy, or when you are traveling or otherwise have more exposure to germs.
Include an abundance of immune building foods as well - a few of the most potent are garlic, onions, ginger, turmeric, raw honey, and radishes.
Avoid all troublemaker foods as well if you can, as these will feed bugs and weaken your system. Especially avoid eggs, dairy, gluten, corn, soy, pork, and canola oil.
High quality chicken meat in general is not a troublemaker food, but when it comes to flu viruses chicken is important to avoid. Avian flu viruses can feed off birds' adrenal glands and flesh cells, and they love chicken in particular, so avoiding it can really help to prevent a bad case of flu.
How to mitigate if you do catch it
If you do catch the flu, taking certain steps early can really help to lessen the severity and help you recover faster. Making a pathogen exposure brain shot if you think you may have come in contact with germs can be a great way to nip a flu in the bud. Another tip:
If you feel like you’re coming down with something, take a teaspoon of raw honey before bed. This is also a good remedy to enhance a night’s sleep.
Life-Changing Foods (p. 255)
The shock therapies are very helpful too (the thyme and zinc shock therapies saved me last week). Use at first sign of symptoms.
Zinc shock therapy
This incredibly effective healing tool has helped countless people prevent getting sick, or turn around symptoms of a cold or flu in record time. Zinc stops the immune system from overreacting or underreacting and slows down viruses and unproductive, aggressive bacteria. Use Zinc Shock Therapy at the first sign of a cold, flu, or COVID or when you suspect you have been exposed to a pathogen.
how to:
Squirt two dropperfuls of liquid zinc sulfate into your throat, let it sit there for a full minute and then swallow the zinc.
Three hours later, squirt another two dropperfuls into your throat and let it sit there again for a full minute before swallowing.
Repeat every three waking hours for two days.
More information on zinc shock therapy here.
Vitamin C shock therapy
The special combination of ingredients in this Shock Therapy work together synergistically to feed your immune system and deliver powerful antioxidant and antiviral, antibacterial healing nutrients to the body.
Thyme tea shock therapy
Thyme contains a phytochemical compound that is antiviral, antibacterial, anti-mold, anti-yeast, and anti–unproductive fungus that stays circulating inside the bloodstream long after nutrients from other foods have either been utilized, dissipated, or eliminated out of the body. Thyme lingers, creating a time-released protective barrier against pathogens.
Goldenseal shock therapy
Goldenseal is antibacterial and antiviral, and as a result, goldenseal is anti-inflammatory because it reduces pathogens and aids in restoring weakened immune cells. White blood cells utilize goldenseal’s antiviral, antibacterial compounds by carrying and then releasing these compounds into battle zones—areas of the body where white blood cells are at war with pathogens. Medical Medium Goldenseal Shock Therapy can be used with both acute conditions and ongoing chronic conditions.
how to -
For an adult, take 6 dropperfuls of alcohol-free goldenseal tincture in an ounce or more of water or juice (or directly in the mouth, with an optional juice or water chaser) every four waking hours.
You can do this for three to five days, and then switch to the dosage in an individual supplement list.
If a bout of illness, infection, or symptoms is still not subsiding a week or more after completing a round of Goldenseal Shock Therapy, you’re welcome to apply Goldenseal Shock Therapy for another three to five days. Do wait a minimum of one week between rounds of this therapy.
For children, see Brain Saver Protocols p. 28
Propolis shock therapy
Propolis is a powerful antiviral, antibacterial medicinal tool. If the propolis is high quality and used correctly, it has the ability to slow down, reverse, and even stop infections of many different varieties. Propolis doesn’t just contain one antiviral agent compound. Propolis carries multiple antiviral agent compounds—sometimes even dozens.
how to -
For an adult, take 4 dropperfuls of alcohol-free* propolis tincture in an ounce or more of water or juice every three waking hours.
You can do this for three to five days, then switch to the dosage in an individual supplement list. You’re welcome to continue cycling through Propolis Shock Therapy. You can either take a week off and then apply it again, or you can repeat rounds of Propolis Shock Therapy back-to-back if you choose.
If your supplement list doesn’t include propolis, you can do 2 dropperfuls of propolis tincture daily in between rounds of Propolis Shock Therapy.
*Even propolis tincture labeled alcohol-free can contain traces of different forms of alcohol. Use propolis tincture with the least amount of alcohol you can find. Check the directory at www.medicalmedium.com for the only true alcohol-free propolis.
For children, see Brain Saver Protocols p. 30
Important notes:
If you feel a need to use more than one Shock Therapy on the same day(s), avoid mixing them directly together. Space the therapies apart by at least 15 minutes. (Brain Saver Protocols p. 22)
If you’re sensitive, you are welcome to lower the dosage amount to whatever you are comfortable with for all Medical Medium Shock Therapies.
Foods + Supplements as you recover
Avoiding troublemakers is particularly important when you're sick. Focus on including healing, anti-pathogenic Holy Four foods like onions, garlic (especially raw), ginger, raw honey, and thyme.
Be sure to get plenty of hydration in the form of lemon/lime water, ginger water, coconut water, celery juice, and cucumber juice - MM says straight cucumber juice can stop a fresh viral infection in its tracks. Fresh fruit and vegetable juices such as apple/cucumber juice, orange juice, and green juices are also amazing.
Sticking to liquids while you have a flu will help you heal as quickly as possible. Other non-hydrating liquids like the healing broth and non-caffeinated herbal teas also have immense benefit in battling flu symptoms.
Some additional tools like the turmeric-ginger shots (or a ginger-turmeric tea if these are too strong), elderberry syrup, and ginger or thyme water or tea can be very helpful as well. You can read more on all of these here.
Other foods that may be particularly helpful:
White lung comes from a virus creating scar tissue in the lung, and so here are some foods that are good for the lungs in particular:
Cruciferous vegetables:
They’re especially good for lung health; because of their sulfur-rich nature, every single vegetable in this family restores and stimulates the growth of lung tissue. Sulfur is one of the only minerals that branches out into other forms of itself—a chemical process that science has discovered at a surface level and has yet to tap into in its full meaning. Cruciferous vegetables contain two types of sulfur, one in macromineral form and the other as an accompanying micro-sulfur trace mineral. Together they permeate lung tissue to help stimulate growth, regeneration, and healing, and they also restore and recover lung scar tissue.
Life-Changing Foods (p. 136)
Onions:
High in the trace minerals zinc, manganese, iodine, and selenium, onions help rejuvenate the skin and protect the lungs. If you’d like your skin to look younger, it’s a great idea to eat onions daily. Same goes if you used to be a smoker, and you’d like to repair some of that damage to your lungs. Onions are very helpful for addressing colds and flus that cause bronchitis, and for bacteria-caused pneumonia.
Life-Changing Foods (pp. 152-153)
Dandelion:
What makes the dandelion unique is that every part of the plant can be used: root, leaves, flower, and even stem. Each bit has a different degree of bitterness, and this corresponds with areas of the body that need different sorts of cleansing. To start with, the flowers (which have some bitterness yet are edging on slightly sweet) cleanse the hollow organs such as the stomach and intestinal tract, gallbladder, bladder, lungs, uterus, and heart.
Life-Changing Foods (p. 246)
Some tips for coughs (white lung is said to produce a relentless cough) -
Lychees -
Lychees have the reputation of being able to help the most stubborn of coughs and provide significant respiratory relief from congestion and chronic coughs.
MM recommends this for congestion, but it may help a cough as well -
If you’re dealing with sinus congestion, cold, or flu, try placing chopped onion in a bowl of warm to hot water, draping a towel over your head and the bowl, and inhaling. This is a great technique for breaking up mucus and loosening congestion.
Life-Changing Foods (p. 155)
and MM recommends the following supplements in his blog on Cold + Flu -
Olive leaf is a great daily supplement if you have Epstein-Barr-related symptoms or conditions. It's also helpful if you're starting to feel sick with flu-like symptoms (in this case, increase the dose).
Echinacea and goldenseal help fight a flu. If you're battling streptococcus, strep throat, tonsillitis, or strep-related sinus infections, you may also benefit from using these periodically.
Elderberry syrup is another incredible flu-fighting supplement.
Lomatium root can help with flu symptoms, bronchitis, pneumonia, sinus problems, fever, and more.
Cherry bark helps with a cough.
Mullein leaf is incredible for shingles-related symptoms and conditions. It's also great for fighting the flu, sinus infections, bronchitis, and lung issues.
Eyebright is amazing at knocking down flus and streptococcus.
Propolis can be a powerful immune system support.
Micro-C and cat's claw are great to take daily. If you start to feel sick, increase the amount.
Red root can be another helpful supplement.
Rose hips tea with ample lemon juice added is helpful for flu symptoms, especially sore throats. Many other teas are helpful for flu symptoms too. Remember to add lemon juice for more healing benefits.
Note: Vimergy has also just released a new Total Immune Blend tincture combining zinc, thyme, and mullein.
Two important notes on supplements:
When you buy supplements, look for high-quality capsules or alcohol-free tinctures. The Medical Medium preferred supplements page provides recommendations.
If you want to help your kids stay flu-free, use supplements in smaller doses, and consider working with a practitioner to determine the ideal amount for your child.
Good luck and stay safe everyone. I hope you are having a great holiday season.
Thank you! This is so helpful!
