Knowledge is Power

During these times of Pandemic there are two powerful misconceptions that prevail and in my opinion are very dangerous. The first, is the notion that natural immunity alone protects you from disease.

When you have too much of one thing your body will naturally either store it such as sugar to fat or dispense of it such as the excretion of too much vitamin C into the urine. So then wherein lies the balance that we are all seeking so desperately to obtain?

On the other hand if you are looking to eliminate the problem at the source you definitely need to be concerned with purifying your air.
