I love autumn. At our farm, the leaves change and this is the most beautiful time of the year.
Blue Ridge roads in autumn
Yet cold winds, dry and brittle, come with the glory and splendor of the leaf change. Viruses travel more easily in dry conditions so cold and influenza (and I suspect COVID) activity often increases in October.
There’s no guaranteed way to stop viral infections and there is plenty of conflict of thought being waged over the value of vaccinations.
Here’s a couple of tips that can enhance our immune system and improve the odds, of viral or bacterial risk, in our favor.
These ideas are based on theories of how disease evolves from an Indian and Andean health care point of view.
Both sciences see health as a balance of three parts of our body. I’ll call these parts air, fire and water to keep the theory simple.
Air is the aspect of movement, all things in motion from our electrical-chemical system, the energy moving through our nerves into receptors, our breath and especially the energy that moves from the base of the spine to the brain. Fire is all things transformational, seeing, hearing, digestion, etc. Water is the solids and fluids within our system.
The theory starts with the idea that most disease begins with air imbalances. Air is the most easily disturbed part of our physiology and the spinal energy is perhaps most important of all. Its flow is required for life.
Chop off a finger, hand, arm, leg or all of them. The energy to the limb is interrupted. Life may be challenged, but not stopped.
Sever the body energy anywhere along the spinal column and death is pretty much assured. Consequently the body provides special protection for this spinal air energy.
Autumn is a cold, brittle time
Autumn is a bad time for colds and flu and such viral infections. Air energy is easily disturbed and is vulnerable to the cold, brittle, autumnal winds. However it’s not the wind or the dry or the cold that leads to infections.
The body’s protective response is the culprit.
When we go out into the cold, the dry, the brittle, especially without some warming attire, the spinal energy can be disturbed. The body’s response is to dampen the area (throat and nasal passages) with mucus.
Those warm mucus filled areas are perfect cultures for bacteria and viruses to grow.
The simple preventative step is to stay out of the wind and chills, or dress adequately so the body does not feel that the spinal energy is threatened.
Merrily Farm
Enjoy the beauty of autumn, but stay warm.
There is another threat to the spinal energy.
Another way we get too much air in our system is through fermentation in the digestive system via poor eating.
Eating the wrong food or the right food at the wrong time or chewing in the wrong way leads to build up of internal gas. The body’s reaction is the same as to dry, cold, windy air. The body dampens down the throat and nasal passages with mucus.
Too much mucus creates a downward health spiral.
The philosophy is that such air imbalances (if uncorrected) lead to digestive problems. The mucus drains into the stomach and dampens the digestive fires which hinders digestion. Poor digestion leads to increased fermentation which creates more gas (more air) which leads to more mucus.
If still uncorrected, the digestive problems grow and lead to kidney and liver stress (due to excess toxins created by the poor digestion). If the air imbalance grows, skin problems follow, as the body tries to evacuate excess toxins through the skin.
If still unchecked, these toxins finally lodge in the body and create real illness. If the toxins lodge in the joints, arthritis and joint problems can follow. Toxins lodged in the blood vessels, artery and heart create pulmonary ailments. In other places, the toxic build up can create cancer and varies other illnesses. In the brain, Alzheimer’s, etc.
The toxic buildup, and the mucus laden air passages, increase the odds of a bacterial or viral infection.
There are a variety of easy ways to stop or slow the air imbalances before they start.
Mint tea
One Indian trick is to sip warm water through the day away from meals. This is calming. Try this simple remedy and you will see. We have seen people’s lives change when they have a thermos of warm water on their desk, sip it all day (away from meals)!
More importantly the warm water expands the blood supply in the digestive track and improves digestion. Sip four cups of warm water a day, one in the morning, one mid morning, one afternoon and one in the evening. Even better, use the water to replace caffienated tea or coffee.
Your results will run from great to miraculous. Some people have shed fat, others altered their entire personality. At the least you will feel calmer, better and have more energy regardless of how good or bad your diet is this will make your outlook, your energy and your looks better!
Andeans use herbal tea instead, sipped at room temperature. A Yatchak explained to me that the teas worked better because the body sees them as food and digests and absorbs these liquids.
I have used both these techniques with great results.
Organic coffee, tea and cocoa are great purifiers rich in antioxidants.
However stimulants can increase air imbalances so caffeinated coffee and teas are avoided in the Andean diet. If (like me) you won’t give up coffee, focus on moderation and try to drink only organic coffee and tea. Also drink coffee and tea without mucus inducing milk.
Chamomile tea
Here are some of the teas regularly used in the Andes:
#1: The Andean shamans brew a cleansing tea made from cinnamon, black cardomom and chamomile.
#2: Chamomile. This tea has anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial, anti-allergenic and sedative properties and encourages sleep.
It is used as a treatment for fevers, colds and stomach ailments because it has antiseptic, antispasmodic, antipyretic, antibacterial, antifungal, and antiallergenic action. Chamomile is sipped daily in lieu of coffee in the Andes.
#3: Lemon Balm is another tea regularly used. Lemon Balm has been employed against bronchial inflammation, earache, fever, flatulence, headaches, high blood pressure, influenza, mood disorders, palpitations, toothache and vomiting. A tea made from Lemon Balm leaves is said to soothe nervous agitation, sleeping problems, functional gastrointestinal complaints, menstrual cramps and urinary spasms.
Like Chamomile, Lemon Balm helps reduce anxiety and insomnia, plus helps mental focus and concentration.
#4: Mint tea is another sipped at room temperature. Mint is known to soothe the digestive tract and reduce the severity and length of stomach problems.
Two other air regulators are to chew and breath in the correct way.
Correct chewing releases nutrient molecules so energy from food is more quickly released and assimilated. This allows the brain to recognize flavors and release the correct digestive juices for that food. Proper chewing does even more because it stimulates the body’s sphincter (or ring) muscles that surround the various orifices of the body.
Ring muscles include the muscles around the eyes, the nostrils, anus, urethra, genitals and the mouth. In a healthy body, all sphincters work together, contracting and relaxing simultaneously. They also activate the respiratory system, the gastrointestinal system, the circulatory system, the lymphatic system, the musculoskeletal system and the urogenital system. Ring muscles are ultimately responsible for putting all the other muscles and all the organs of the body to work.
Chewing correctly stimulates the ring muscles and consequently improves digestion as well as helps exercise all our muscles.
This chewing exercise comes from Israel. This profoundly powerful method of mastication stimulates the body’s sphincter (or ring) muscles that surround the various orifices of the body.

Ring Muscle Chewing
Ring muscles include the muscles around the eyes, the nostrils, anus, urethra, genitals and the mouth. In a healthy body, all sphincters work together, contracting and relaxing simultaneously.
They also activate the respiratory system, the gastrointestinal system, the circulatory system, the lymphatic system, the musculoskeletal system and the urogenital system. Ring muscles are ultimately responsible for putting all the other muscles and all the organs of the body to work.
Chewing correctly stimulates the ring muscles and consequently helps exercise all our muscles.
Chewing should be done with the lips closed, but with the oral cavity open as wide as possible. When chewing is done correctly the lower sphincters and intestines can be felt working in rhythm and causing the abdomen to contract.
You exercise the neck, chest, abdomen, all the way down to the butt, just by chewing differently.
It also important to chew on both sides of the mouth.
Overeating is a very common problem today and this is fundamentally a result of poor muscle tone of the oral sphincter.
When our sphincter muscles are out of balance the body tries to restore them by chewing. Thus what seems to be the body’s craving for food can be the body’s craving for proper exercise of the sphincters.
Too much food creates fermentation in the digestive system.
With proper exercise the sphincters return to normal operation and there is no longer a demand for more food than the body needs. It is possible to eat enough without the fear of getting fat. All you have to do is to make sure to open your jaws widely enough with each chew to bring all the sphincters muscles into action. This will reduce your body’s craving to eat and will also enable your body to burn up more calories more efficiently.
The flu season is here. No one knows what this autumn will bring, a surge in the pandemic, increased social unrest, economic chaos. Whatever comes, we have to face it. The healthier we are, the better we can meet and beat the challenges.
These three simple steps, dress for the weather, chew correctly and drink warm water and or herbal tea can add protection at the root of our vitality and health. The cost is almost nothing. There are no risks I can think of, so why not start these steps now and gain extra protection from autumn’s disease?

Studies showed that reduced body fat creates a 25% lower chance of developing cancer.
Fortunately there is a little known way to reduce body fat that does not even require exercise.? I’ll share more on this secret in a moment.
First, body fat, COVID-19 and cancer? Let’s ask why?
Part of the answer is toxicity.
Healthy bodies naturally and regularly remove water-soluble toxins from the body. Our blood and kidneys flush them away.
Fat-soluble toxins such as metals, pesticides, preservatives, other pollutants are harder to flush out of the system. Fat-soluble toxins must become water-soluble before the body can get rid of them. The liver can do this conversion (bile emulsifies fat-souble toxins into water-soluble). This process requires healthy digestive and detox pathways. When they become imbalanced, fat-soluble toxins are stored in fat cells and brain cells instead. These toxins can remain for decades and create health problems.
The fat stored toxins cause oxidation (free radical damage) and degeneration as well as mutation. Toxins in the fatty tissue of the brain become neurotoxins that can cause cognitive problems and a host of mental and brain imbalances.
Burn Fat to Burn Toxins
When you burn fat you turn on the body’s detox fuel. Fat metabolism is the body’s natural form of energy. Fat metabolism provides a more steady energy than glucose metabolism and flushes fat cells free of toxins. As the toxicity drops, the nervous system has reduced stress and will naturally burn fat instead of sugar.
This is why I have written three reports about shamanic health secrets.
As we progress beyond COVID or if COVID becomes the new normal, this fact remains.
I was reminded of the need for natural health the when I suffered a two week bout with this viral infection.
The symptoms were nasty but fortunately over the past 40 years I have taken MDs, DOs, ODs, DCs, DVMs and DDs as well as physician and nurse practitioners, nurses and numerous other type of health care providers around the world to meet with Andean and Amazonian shamans, yatchacs, Oriental healers, accupuncturists, herbalists, Indian ayurvedic vaidyas, pulse therapists and essential oil practitioners to name a few.
I have used what we all learned. This was of immense help these last weeks. That’s why I plan to be wearing this new T-shirt. What could have been a dangerous disease for a 74 year old male, was closer to an inconvenience.

The knowledge we gleaned in these decades of research and study have been encapsulated in three natural health reports I wrote about:
#1: Nutrition
#2: Purification
#3: Exercise
In this special offer I want to send you these three reports, that reveal secrets of health and longevity, along with two additional special reports, one on the healing power of the Hogberry and another on the Golden Thread of Health.
The pandemic shows how much we are on our own.
Your have probably seen the ads. “If you have COVID-19 symptoms, DON’T go to the hospital or Doctor’s Office”.
Simply put… the system is swamped. There is little that can be done if you have COVID-19. You want to have your own natural health to rely on!
Hospitals are incredibly dangerous places. Our health and are pocketbooks are at risk when we go there.
Modern American health care was already under pressure. Despite horrendous costs, the system has been faltering. At times the care is more dangerous than the illness. For example hospitals are the worst place to have a heart attack. The University of North Carolina, did a study and found that 40% of the patients who had attacks in the hospital died before being discharged. (The study compared that with only a 4% death rate for those who had heart attacks outside the hospital.)
Plus it was recently revealed that medical endoscopy scopes in hospitals were infecting patients with deadly drug-resistant bacteria. The facts about this had not been previously disclosed. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimate that hospital-acquired infections alone kill 99,000 people each year.
Here is an even worse hospital mortality fact.
The Centers for Disease Control & Prevention shows that hospital-acquired infections alone kill 57% more Americans every year than all car accidents and falls put together.
Even before the pandemic, what patients catch in the hospital has often worse than what sent them there.
Along with the risk of hospital acquired illness and medical errors, the second huge threat to our well being… is health care costs, especially at hospitals.
A time.com article “Total Cost of Her COVID-19 Treatment: $34,927.43” (1) shows how much our finances are at risk from COVID-19 in th hospital.
The article says: When Danni Askini started feeling chest pain, shortness of breath and a migraine all at once on a Saturday in late February, she called the oncologist who had been treating her lymphoma. Her doctor thought she might be reacting poorly to a new medication, so she sent Askini to a Boston-area emergency room. There, doctors told her it was likely pneumonia and sent her home.
Over the next several days, Askini saw her temperature spike and drop dangerously, and she developed a cough that gurgled because of all the liquid in her lungs. After two more trips to the ER that week, Askini was given a final test on the seventh day of her illness, and once doctors helped manage her flu and pneumonia symptoms, they again sent her home to recover. She waited another three days for a lab to process her test, and at last she had a diagnosis: COVID-19.
A few days later, Askini got the bills for her testing and treatment: $34,927.43. “I was pretty sticker-shocked,” she says. “I personally don’t know anybody who has that kind of money.”
The patient described was uninsured, but according to the article, even those with full insurance should expect deductibles and co-pays to run into thousands!
Hospital Failure
The Commonwealth Fund in its latest survey on overall health care ranked US healthcare dead last compared to 10 major countries. Despite being worst, USA Today, Wall Street Journal, Forbes, New York Times have all warned about huge, increasingly costly, health care changes. There are enormous problems in hospitals and chances are they are going to get worse.
When it comes to health care, we may be worse off than if we are on our own. The very people, institutions and establishments that we should rely on may actually hurt rather than help our health.
Shamanic wisdom and alternative health facts from around the world, that have been accumulated over the millennia, can fill the gap.
The way to escape the dangers of the low performance, high cost, health care system, is to not need it. Declare health independence… and create natural good health. There are dozens of simple, really low costs steps that can improve health… eating, purification, exercise, even the way we think and don’t think when we sleep.
Healing wisdom from around the world can help us reduce our pandemic risks.
For over 50 years my wife Merri and I have lived around the world and checked out just about every source on natural health care. We have spent years living with natural health care insiders, and trying what they offered. We have taken science based, western oriented healers of every type, who are interested in looking beyond the standard alleopathic model.
Since not everyone can travel the world, we have created three “Natural Health Care Reports” that can help improve your natural health. They are concise and to the point. In 15 minutes the first report shows exactly how to start preparing for better health and more energy.
You do not have to be alone.
You do not have to depend on the health care and health insurance monopolies for better health.
You do not have to cave into a healthcare system that can put us at risk and charge outrageous prices at the same time.
Our natural health reports provide information on how to use ancient health care systems to become more healthy – self sufficient – providing your own good health.
The first report is entitled “Sunski”, the Andean word for good eating, for maximum nutrition and purification.
We started the series with eating because so many of our readers have found the Andean shamanic nutrition helped them kickstart their health with weight trimming.
Here is what a few readers have written to us:
These are typical notes I have received from readers.
* “Hi Merri, things have worked out well. I am healthier than I have ever been, lost 32 pounds since arriving in Sept. Bought a house and have finished the first level. What an amazing place you have found”. Thanks Phil – Ecuador
* “We’ve decided to change our eating patterns since we came home because we so enjoyed our meals at the farm and how we felt physically. Thanks so much. With love” JJ New – Chicago
* “After eating all that delicious food I gained 3 lbs but it must be in muscle weight as my pants fit loosely!” R Vickers – New Mexico
* “The food was so delicious and I thought I ate a lot, but during the week I lost six pounds!” WB Australia.
Good eating is the first step towards natural health. The first rule of good health is getting the correct nutrition. The second step is purification of toxins and eating to avoid getting impurities in our body in the first place!
Sunski is a way to eat that strengthens and purifies as it stops adding toxicity from eating. Yet Sunski is a delicious, healthy “self defined” cleansing process. One lesson in Sunski shows how to correct a simple mistake that most of the Western population makes which increases the chances of adding and retaining weight by 84%.
The “Sunski” report has been 50 years and millions of miles of travel in the making.
We lived, worked, farmed, cooked and ate with a Taita Yatchak for years while learning “Sunski”. We matched up Andean eating sciences with Indian nutritional knowledge and Chinese food planning to refine the best of the best eating from each world.
We’ve invested thousands of hours into learning the skills of health self-reliance and resilience, identifying the best foods and combinations and sifted through loads of seeming contradictions to get to the facts about “do it yourself” longevity and natural health.
But that wasn’t enough – not when our good health is on the line. So we consulted dozens of top professions who know a lot about natural health. We spoke with holistic MDs, chiropractors, Indian Vidyas, Andean Yatchaks, and other self-reliant natural health experts who live this way every day.
Don’t let the simplicity fool you… years of research went into these reports.
And we only kept the best of the best: this system is complete – and FAST to learn – so you can get started immediately.
We all need to stay out of hospitals and reduce our exposure to modern medical risks and costs.
The pandemic is here. The time is NOW! Why re-invent the wheel? Especially when time is NOT on our side. We’ve already done the hard work for you, pulling together the information so you can create better natural, good health.
Imagine… never worrying about what we eat ever again and reducing the risks of hospitalization and health care’s outrageous costs.
A few of the life balancing nutritional tips include how to:
#1: Eat a balance of fat, carbohydrates and protein.
#2: Eat combinations of food for ideal digestion.
#3: Eat clean organic food prepared and served by happy, joyful people.
#4: Eat in good spirits at the right times of day.
#5: Chew in the correct way.
#6: Eat purifying and satisfying meals.
#7: Adapt eating habits that are suited to individual specific makeup and lifestyle and why such individualized nutrition is better than any specific set plan.
This report includes a complete list of EZ to use recipes that will immediately improve your short term energy… and your long term natural health – so that you never have to guess what foods you need (or rely on the health care establishment to tell you the truth).
Here are a few facts and health tools you gain:
* The single biggest constraint you’ll face in your eating habits – and how you can eliminate it by adding two simple recipes to your Sunski system.
* How to calculate exactly how much food you need so you don’t over or under build your nutritional plan.
* A simple solution for making sure that your food delivers what your body needs when you need it.
* What components you can choose for yourself and how to avoid mass diets that seem to work for every one except… you.
* The best long term solution for avoiding sugar.
* Use sweet spices to compensate for stress.
* Specific types of unique spices that give you the biggest energy bang for your buck.
* Spices that cleanse and purify.
* Three changes in your fruit consumption that is a critical component for long term purificatioN.

Learn how nutritional secrets can help keep you out of the hospital.
These reports focus on how to have good natural health so you can remain independent and avoid costly medical care. The second report looks at purification and detoxification.
The third report is about exercise… but not the type you would think.
Unlock the Mystery of Key Muscles
For example this third report unveils one exercise that is a nutritional trick that has nothing to do with what we eat. The trick is to energize and coordinate the digestive system by exercising a set of key muscles as we eat. The body has a number of key muscles that regulate breathing, digestion, circulation, elimination and muscular motion. The report reveals an exercise you can do at the dinner table to energize these muscles which in turn coordinate every other muscle and organ in the body. Eating in this way for example (most of the modern world does not) energizes just one key muscle that regulates part of our ability to burn sugars and fat.
The report looks at oxygenation, coordination, purification, energy boosting, education, occupation and relaxation.
Oxygenation-Coordination: Learn how to gain extra oxygen with the Llama Walk.
Purification: We look at Andean purification herbs and purifying teas.
Energy Boosting: Eating balanced, correctly prepared organic food and drinking herbal teas designed for body type and body imbalances.
Occupation: Physical labor, suited to your body type and condition range from gardening and animal care to path building and clearing the woods.
Relaxation: Learn how Meditation, L-Thianine and Baroque Music enhance thinking and relieve stress.
