What are some things we can do to help avoid catching the NDM-1 Superbug?

People who are susceptible to NDM-1 superbug are those who have weak immune system. Like you I am also interested to know of ways to boost my immune system and share this with my family. It is better to be safe than sorry and I believe in the saying that an ounce of prevention is better than a pound of cure.

These are some immune boosting tips that I have read online: 1. Drink freshly squeezed lemon juice in water. You can add them also to tea, salad dressings, and when you bake and cook food.

This will help the body's internal "climate" at a pH which helps supports healthy bacteria. 2. Try to give your body herbs like essential oils.

These are excellent in stimulating the release of immune compounds. It is also the rawest and most natural form of any medicinal plant. 3.

Get a full night sleep to help balance hormone levels, keeps the weight down, clears you mind and reasoning, improve mood and gives you vibrant and healthy skin. 4. Eat plenty of protein for this is a building block for a healthy mind, body and immune system.5.

Drink plenty of water 6. Stop drinking coffee for it dehydrates and robs your body of minerals and vitamins. If you have to drink coffee, be sure to drink two glasses of water as well.7.

Avoid refined sugar, go for organic one and avoid artificial sweeteners.8. Eat lots of fruits and vegetables for they are rich in antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, fibers and enzymes. There are many vitamins that will help protect cells including the immune system.

Eat dark-coloured produce for they are high in flavonoids, polyphenols and antioxidants. One good source of minerals is seaweed which can be bought in health stores.9. Spend some time outside and breathe in some fresh air for the coolness outside will stimulate the thyroid gland.

10. Nurture yourself by spending time with your friends, indulge in a massage, hot bath. Create a special space within yourself for harmony, self-love and joy.

And do some "mental health day" every couple of months to make sure that your emotional needs are met since being happy mean that you are not susceptible to being sick.

During the last crisis with the swine flu, there was one particular situation I knew of where there were three guys in hospital, all expected not to survive, and one of them was given several packs of Immunocal every day - he lived, the others unfortunately did not. This was the brother of a friend of mine. This is a great product.

Some products that say they are like this are not the same - they have drugs added to them. This is the only natural product in the drug section of the Physicians Desk Reference - been there for 10 years, but doctors are more comfortable prescribing drugs. Hope this is helpful for you.
