1. At the first sign of symptoms, increase your probiotic daily use...be sure to take it on an empty stomach.

2. Wash hands with hot water often and carry either a spray bottle or gel of a natural silver, known to act as a disinfectant without the side-effects of antibacterials that actually compromise or kill the health-enhancing bacteria in the body, not only the health-depleting ones. Click on Health Matters Store for natural professional-strength silver products.

3. When exposed to large crowds or those in crowded places (airplanes, theatres, trains, subways, etc.) it is adviseable to spray your nose with a professional silver product to act as an antibacterial and antiviral so that whatever is inhaled can be neutralized before illness sets in.

Protection While Traveling/Flying This is the only way I'm able to stay healthy with the extensive air travel required for me to lecture and teach worldwide. During the flight, I spray each nostril 5-6 times while holding the other nostril and then holding my head back until I feel it running down my throat....it's the best proactive measure I've ever found.

4. At the first sign of intestinal or stomach distress from what may be food-poisoning or health-depleting bacteria, take additional probiotics (professional strength) and then use 1 TB. Organic Apple Cider Vinegar in a little water...repeat as often as every hour if diarrhea is also present. It's best if you can purchase the vinegar that contains the "mother", available in health food stores.This neutralizes the body's pH creating an environment that is not condusive for bacterial growth. Click on Health Matters Store for convenient vinegar tablets.

5. Make sure to get good sleep, especially when traveling through various time zones. A time-released melatonin works wonders for this and doesn't give you a morning headache or cause morning fatigue if taken in the correct amounts for your age and body weight.

If you need a short consultation with me to simply deal with one health concern like a cold, flu, or a proactive approach , we offer short consultations to new clients that are 30 minutes for $70 -- you must still complete all the new client forms and submit to us. Once received, our office will email or call to arrange a telephone consult...we even call you!

As a new client, the full work-up is 1.5 hours. If you choose to become a client, you must complete all the new client forms which you can do from this website or we can mail them to you. Be sure to complete each of the four sections (you can actually complete the form right on your computer and submit electronically). As soon as we receive your completed new client package our office will call to schedule your consultation.

For those of you who do not choose to become a client but merely need assistance with one situation, you may request a non-client "urgent care" consultation for $35. I'll call you anyplace in the U.S., Canada, Western Europe, and Puerto Rico and guide you to the best supplements, nutritional modifications, and natural therapies for your specific condition.

Remember, if you do have to take an antibiotic, you MUST replace all the health-enhancing bacteria in your G.I. tract or you'll be setting yourself up for another illness within 6-8 weeks. Antibiotics kill ALL bacteria, good and bad. Now there is also a probiotic that can be taken WITH an antibiotic that is not destroyed by it. It is only available through health professionals and is very effective. You don't have to visit north Idaho to consult with me - most of my clients do so via telephone. Call 888 352-8175 (USA) or Local number 208.255.5252 Pacific Time 8: to 2: (Closed Friday)  to schedule a consultation. Protect your most valuable asset, your health, it s the best gift you can give yourself. Your Partner in Health, naturally, Dr. G
