Easy things you can do to boost YOUR Immune system

It can take weeks to strengthen your immune system. Here are some habits that can help: 

  • Eat well: A healthy diet full of fruits and vegetables can help boost your immune system. 
  • Exercise: Regular exercise can help strengthen your immune system. 
  • Sleep: Getting enough quality sleep is important for your immune system. Adults should aim for 7 or more hours of sleep per night. Poor sleep quality or not getting enough sleep can make you more likely to get sick.
  • Reduce stress in your energy field. Stress has a detrimental affect on your immune system. Reducing stress can help boost your immune system. Homeopathic remedies work on this level
  • Wash your hands: Washing your hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds breaks down bacterial and virus cell walls.

Let’s look at those in a little more detail
1. Eat well
    • Eat as many fresh fruits and vegetables as you can, every day. Your ‘five-a-day’ naturally contain micronutrients like zinc and vitamin A, B,C &D.
    • And the fibre from fruit and vegetables helps your gut’s microbiome produce compounds needed for a healthy immune system. 
    • Treat meals as medicine for boosting the immune system
      • The essential micronutrients to support a strong immune system are: Zinc, Vits A & C

    • Supplements are great but fresh fibrous foods is better because it strengthens your gut biome which has a positive effect strengthening your immune system. Some of my favourite recipes are here in this book

    • The easiest thing you can do to help protect your immune system is to use ingredients from your kitchen cupboard…
      • Honey 🍯 -preferably organic and local to you
      • Lemons - when life gives you lemons…
      • Ginger - helps boost your immune system
      • Turmeric - boost liver function

            …make yourself a tea with a slice of root ginger, slices of lemon and sweeten with honey.


  • The most popular herbal remedy to ward off seasonal lurgy is Echinacea (purple come flower) https://amzn.to/3NiRg61


2. Excercise

  • Research studies evidence that the immune system is very responsive to exercise.
  • Exercise changes immune regulation and has anti-inflammatory effect

3. Sleep for at least seven hours a night. 

  • When your body does not get enough sleep, your immune system is negatively affected.

  • You can find more details about how your body heals itself while you are in a deep sleep state  in the elizabeth mcsweeney fibromyalgia road to recovery ebook volume 2: https://amzn.to/3zy885S



3. Reduce stress & heal your energy field

  • Moving away from the more biological or physical into a slighter higher vibration to strengthen your energy in your auric energy field
  • This also balances, strengthens and protects your immune system

  • Higher dilutions of homeopathic remedies work in the higher vibration of your auric energy field e.g. Arnica 1m for emotional trauma; Arnica 30c for physical injury. 
  • The 4 most common homeopathic remedies to help boost your immune system (available online at 30c dilutions)
1. Gelsimium https://amzn.to/3Neji2K

2. Allium Cepa (brown onion) https://amzn.to/4gTMNEg
3. Oscillicoccocinum
4. Arsinacum album https://amzn.to/4dDRD62

& Nat phos is an acid neutraliser which helps reduce systemic inflammation https://amzn.to/4dxtq1a


  • For scientific data, this research used ‘complex’ homeopathic remedies (i .e. more than one homeopathic ingredient in each dilution). 

    • This was a clinical ‘in vitro’ (lab test not human test). 
    • A complex homeopathic medicine (Engystol-N, composed of Vincetoxicum at dilutions 6× to 30× and of Sulfur at dilutions 4× to 10×) stimulates cytokine(s) production by T lymphocytes in culture media from whole blood… From these data “it was concluded that the drug stimulates secretion of lymphokine(s) with an inhibiting action on superoxide anion generation by neutrophils that prevail over the direct stimulating effect, confirming and extending the suggested immunomodulatory ability of the drug.”
    • A homeopathic complex medicine (‘Canova’, of 19× Thuya occidentalis, 18× Bryonia alba, 11× Aconitum napellus, 19× Arsenicum album and 18× Lachesis muta (Viperidae) venom, all extracted and diluted in 70% alcohol, in equal parts) was used as an immune modulator. Studies of its mechanism of action show “that it stimulates the immune system by activating macrophages, but has no genotoxic properties in vitro on lymphocytes”
    • Complex homeopathic medicine Traumeel (formulation containing low potencies ,4× to 12×, of Arnica montana and other plant extracts & minerals i .e. Calendula officinalis, Hamamelis virginiana, Achillea millefolium, Atropa belladonna, Aconitum napellum, Hepar sulfuris, Symphytum, Mercurius solubilis, Bellis perennis, Chamomilla, Echinacea angustifolia, Echinacea purpurea, Hypericum) is widely used in humans to relieve trauma, inflammation and degenerative processes. The Traumeel compound formula was examined in vitro (in the lab) on human T cells, monocytes and gut epithelial cells. It inhibited the secretion of IL-1beta, TNF-alpha and IL-8 by 50−70% in both resting and activated cells (P < 0.01 for all cells). The effect appeared to be inversely dose-related: maximal inhibition was seen with higher dilutions of 10−3 (30C)to 10−6 (60c) suggesting evidence of anti-inflammatory effects.
    • The main results on lymphocytes are summarized in this Table 2 Summary of laboratory studies on lymphocytes:

✓ Phytolacca (5c, 7c and 15c) have no mitogenic effect on resting lymphocytes but on lymphocytes stimulated with ponderal doses of phytohemagglutinin they inhibit mitosis (36,37).

✓ Naphthoquinones (plumbagin, alkannin and others) and cytostatic agents (vincristine, methotrexate and fluorouracil) inhibit lymphoblastic transformation at relatively low dilutions, whereas higher dilutions have a stimulatory effect (38).

✓ High dilutions of Bee venom (Apis) or Phosphorus inhibit blood lymphocytes (stimulated in vitro with PHA) from healthy subjects while the cells from immunodepressed patients do not show any significant inhibition (40).

✓ A homeopatic complex formulation containing Vincetoxicum 6× to 30× and Sulfur 4× to 10× stimulate cytokine production by human lymphocytes (51).

✓ The homeopathic immunostimulant complex Canova has no genetoxic properties on human lymphocytes (53).

✓ Traumeel S inhibits IL-beta, TNF-alpha, and IL-8 production by human T cells, monocytes and gut epithelial cells (54).

A brief history of the science of ‘Healing through the Human Energy Field’ (PT 1)

A brief history of  healing through the Human Energy Field You understand that when someone is angry in your presence you are ‘seeing red’? So are they. If you de-focus your eyes you may also see red sparks firing off them toward you. If you look closely at their outline (where their physical body/skin meets the air, you may be able to perceive a tgrey fluid like slow, or stuck, energy underneath the red haze. This shows you an area of their energy field where deep emotional sadness, loss or trauma became stuck in their energy field, possibly even causing physical, as well as mental, psychological, harm.  Trained Spiritual’ healers use this higher sense perception, and connection to source’ to channel universal energy and. heal your energy fields (the energy matrix that activates life source around and within your body). And this release, in turn allows your body to re-map, re-vert, recover & restore health within your body.  In the 1990s, I trained with the National ...

A brief history of the science of ‘Healing through the Human Energy Field’ (Pt-3)

  An ‘holistic’ approach to health requires a complete re-wiring of your world view. 1905 Albert Einstein publishes his ‘Special Theory of Relativity… … shattering the concept of a Newtonian world view:  Space is not three dimensional and time is not separate from form ‘entity’. Connected they form a 4 dimensional continuum ‘space-time’. There is no universal flow of time: time is not linear nor absolute. Time is relative; space-time is relative. Form ‘entity’ is therefore also relative. Using terms such as ‘time’ and ‘space’ are just useful words to help us conceptualise ‘space-time’ and how universal energy fields relate to each other. Three dimension ‘space’ is a paradoxical paradigm  two different observers can observe the same event in reverse time i.e. the same event being ‘witnessed’ from a different position can be perceived by each observer as happening in the  relative past or relative future Linear ‘cause then effect’ is a Newtonian concept. Currently most...

A brief history of the science of ‘Healing through the Human Energy Field’ (Pt-2)

We have all experienced ‘knowing’ that someone close (e.g. a parent, child, or lover) is about to call just as we are thinking about them or looking at our phone. Have you ever wondered how this psychic’ phenomenon, your intuitive ‘sixth sense’, actually works? Our life, and the entire universe is created from interactive fields of electromagnetic light energy Less than 100 years after the establishment of Newtonian physics as the framework for scientific ‘thinking’, new physical phenomenon was discovered. But it didn’t fit into this established framework and was predominantly ignored by scientists within this establishment.  Michael Faraday (1791-1867), experimental physicist: Observed  that a changing magnetic field can induce an electric current in a nearby wire i.e he ‘discovered’  electromagnetic induction. Introduced  the concept of "lines of force" to visualize and understand the electromagnetic field i.e field theory Made significant contributions to our unde...
