Spring is associated with blooming flowers and getting rid of junk that people no longer need. We support the “out with the old” philosophy, and we feel that it should be applied to your physical health as well. The body is exposed to countless toxins on a daily basis, and failure to eliminate these toxins from the body can decrease your ability to effectively fight off viruses or bacteria. Given that the coronavirus has crossed international borders, building up immune strength could help keep your body safe and virus-free.
What Is The Coronavirus?
Coronaviruses are a large group of viruses that are common in people and animals, including bats, cats, cattle, and camels. It is very rare for animal coronaviruses to infect people and become contagious, such as with the case of MERS-CoV, SARS-CoV, and now the new virus known as SARS-CoV-2. Both MERS-CoV and SARS-CoV have been known to cause clinical illness in people, but the complete clinical picture in relation to the COVID-19, coronavirus disease 2019, virus is not fully understood. Since the COVID-19 is a potential public health threat, ongoing investigations attempt to learn more about symptoms, early detection, and what you can do to stave off the virus.
It is important to note that COVID-19 is not actively spreading widely in the United States. What you need to remember is that information about the virus is rapidly evolving and global risk assessment is being updated as soon as information is gathered. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), global efforts are focusing on containing the spread of the virus. To help decrease the risk of contracting the COVID-19 virus, people are encouraged to:
- Avoid touching eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands.
- Wash hands with antibacterial soap for at least 20 seconds, especially after using the restroom or blowing your nose, and before eating.
- Avoid contact with people who are sick.
- Stay home if you or your children are sick.
- Disinfect frequently touched objects or surfaces with cleaning sprays or wipes.
What About Natural Remedies?
The media has reported that people are seeking alternative remedies to prevent infection with SARS-CoV-2, or to treat the 2019 coronavirus. The effectiveness of the purported remedies is purely anecdotal and there is no scientific evidence that any alternative remedy can prevent or cure the illness caused by the virus. There are also no current vaccines for COVID-19.
How Does Cleansing Boost The Immune System?
Cleansing is the process of removing impurities from the body by way of its major eliminative channels. This helps to clean out the lungs, liver, colon, gallbladder, spleen, kidneys, lymph systems, the gastrointestinal tract, and the skin. Since these systems work round the clock without getting a break, they can become taxed when they are exposed to unhealthy foods, viruses, chemicals, or bacteria. The Dherbs Full Body Cleanse can aid with the elimination of these built up toxins to support the healthy function of your primary organs and systems, especially the immune system.
The immune system cannot function optimally if there are built-up toxins in your system. It becomes activated when it recognizes antigens, toxins, or foreign substances in the body. Given that most Western diets contain processed ingredients, antibiotics, added hormones, and artificial flavors and sugars, the immune system can interpret these as threats, which is the common cause of chronic inflammation. When you cleanse and help eliminate these toxins from the body, the immune system has a better chance of fighting off viruses.
When it comes to how often people should cleanse, we recommend cleansing between one to four times a year. Some people cleanse at the beginning of the year, while others prefer to cleanse with the change of seasons. Well, spring is here, the coronavirus scare is real, and that, to us, means that there’s no better time to cleanse.
Disclaimer: The Dherbs 20-day Full Body Cleanse is not a cure for the coronavirus (or any other illness), nor is it a remedy that will help symptoms subside. It is a merely a cleanse that helps to eliminate toxins and waste from the body, which can benefit the immune system and other organs and systems in the process.
