Why your snot-nosed kid stands a better chance against influenza than you?
Sadly in the USA, we have a very negative perception of mucous. Think “snot-nosed” kid. We spend millions on medications to suppress mucous – even if it means prolonging illness. That unpleasant “snot”, that moist “flypaper” lining our airways, lungs, gut and urogenital membranes, is the primary line of defense against infection, trapping bacteria and viruses before they can do serious damage.
It’s time to change our perception of mucous! How do we do this?
First we need to stop killing and drying out our mucous membranes:
Minimize use of heaters and air conditioners that dry the air
Use humidifiers with purified or distilled water
Reduce or eliminate smoking or vaping, and
Hydrate, hydrate!
How do we support our mucous membranes? Omega are the building blocks of mucous membrane - in particular the often-overlooked Omega 7, discovered to be a lipokine by Harvard researchers in 2008. Small amounts are found in fish, macadamia nuts, and avocados – but the “king” of Omega 7 is Sea Buckthorn (aka SeaBerry®), actively used in India, Tibet, Russia, Eastern Europe, and Finland. The most effective products for mucous membrane hydration include sea buckthorn oil. Korean researchers recently discovered sea buckthorn contain elements that counter COVID-19.
Now is the time to learn more about our organic Sea Buckthorn Fruit Oils & Powders, which contain 1200 mg/100 grams of vitamin C, Vitamin A, Zinc, Omegas 3,6,9, and up to 45% Omega 7.
FYI - The “innate” mucous membrane system is with us from birth. With age we can lose it. When women suffer from low estrogen related vaginal dryness – this is mucous membrane loss. Drugs and stress also deplete mucous membranes. USA researchers found cigarette smoke suppresses a protein causing the natural death of mucus-producing cells in the airways of bronchitis patients. This may help explain the higher mortality rate from COVID-19 in cigarette smoking cultures like China and Italy.
