Protecting Yourself From Viruses
Interview
with William Wong ND PhD, author of the book 10
Natural Treatments You Haven't Heard Of Until Now
Mike
Carruthers:
With summer behind us it won't be long until cold and flu
season and you need to know how to avoid these viruses.
William
Wong :
In order to avoid catching viruses we have to be
scrupulously clean.
Dr. William
Wong, author of the book 10
Natural Treatments You Haven't Heard Of Until Now…
When
we come in from an office or a public environment, a mall, strap
hanging off of a subway, hanging on to a poll on a bus, we have
to wash our hands and wash them up to your forearms and make
sure that you wash your hands for at least 15-30 seconds. It's
not so much the soap that removes any bugs and debris we may
be carrying it's the physical action of abrasion. If you can,
use a nailbrush to get around the hands and around the skin.
Make believe you are a surgeon.
Because
these viruses get on your hands and you typically put them into
your own body.
I'll
give you an example. You're riding in an airplane, someone behind
you sneezes and all of that micro fine material latches onto
your hair and you run your fingers through your hair you touch
your nose, you touch your eyes, you touch your mouth, you touch
any orifice, the virus crawls into your body and "bang"
you're infected.
Interestingly
once a virus gets into your body it never leaves.And viruses
are very tiny.
A virus
is a piece of genetic material that is so tiny that if you dropped
the virus onto an unglazed piece of china it would likely go
through the pores in that china and come out the other side.
