Have our cries reached you after a full year of war that it is still ongoing! 🚨🚨

Today, we have completed a full year of the fierce war on Gaza – Palestine – and the world is still waiting for all of us to die. 😔

Look at the picture, and you will understand how much we need your help and support during these difficult times we are going through.

Will we be able to resist the cold of winter in these clothes? what about our children? ???!! 👧👦😔

Winter is coming now, and we need essential requirements that we miss and lack because they cost money in these harsh conditions and the insane rise in prices.

Starting with:

*** Rehabilitating the tent we live in, which does not protect us from the cold weather at night and has deteriorated under the summer sun.

*** Winter clothes, especially for the children and all family members.

*** Winter blankets to protect against the cold night weather.

*** Medicine, especially for my daughter’s eye treatment and for my mother, who suffers from high blood pressure due to the poor living conditions.

How can you help us during these difficult times?

Even a small amount of support can help us, at least initially, to provide:

*** Winter clothes and blankets for the children.

*** A new tent that can protect us from rain and strong winds.

*** Some food supplies to help boost our immunity.

*** The chance to relocate when the borders open and secure a safe place for the family where medical care is available.

In this critical time, we need your support, even if it’s just a little, as it can provide for our basic needs and help us to at least survive and stay alive

Boost Immune System In Winter With These 7 Easy Steps

No one wants to deal with a pesky cold or the flu, so here are seven things that can boost your immune system this winter and beyond

[theambitiouswoman]

Supplements & Vitamins

Here's a list of some of the most commonly used supplements and their benefits. Please remember that while supplements can be beneficial for certain people, everyones nutritional needs are different. It's always a good idea to consult with a specialist before adding any new supplements to your routine, as individual needs may vary.

Multivitamin: Provides a range of essential vitamins and minerals to support overall health and fill potential nutrient gaps in your diet.

Omega-3 Fatty Acids: Promote heart health, brain function, and reduce inflammation. Typically derived from fish oil or algae.

Vitamin D: Supports bone health, immune function, and may have a positive impact on mood. It's commonly obtained through sun exposure, but supplements can be useful, especially in winter or for those with limited sun exposure.

Probiotics: Help promote a healthy gut microbiome, aiding digestion, nutrient absorption, and immune function.

Magnesium: Important for muscle and nerve function, bone health, and energy production. It may also help with relaxation and sleep.

B vitamins: Help convert food into energy, support brain function, and maintain healthy hair, skin, and nails.

Vitamin C: Boosts immune function, acts as an antioxidant, supports collagen production, and aids in iron absorption.

Zinc: Essential for immune function, wound healing, and cell division. It also supports normal growth and development during pregnancy, childhood, and adolescence.

Iron: Required for red blood cell production and oxygen transport. Iron deficiency can lead to anemia and fatigue, but it's essential to get iron levels checked before supplementing.

Calcium: Crucial for bone health and muscle function. It's often combined with vitamin D for better absorption.

Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10): Plays a vital role in energy production within cells and acts as an antioxidant. It may benefit heart health and cellular energy metabolism.

Curcumin (Turmeric extract): Possesses anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, potentially supporting joint health and cognitive function.

Ashwagandha: An adaptogenic herb that may help reduce stress, promote relaxation, and support cognitive function.

Green Tea Extract: Contains antioxidants and may support cardiovascular health, weight management, and cognitive function.

Glucosamine: Commonly used for joint health and may help alleviate symptoms of osteoarthritis.

Chondroitin: Often taken alongside glucosamine, it may help reduce joint pain and improve joint mobility.

Probiotics for Gut Health: Certain strains of probiotics can help restore and maintain a healthy balance of gut bacteria, supporting digestion and immune function.

Melatonin: A hormone that regulates sleep-wake cycles, melatonin supplements can help with insomnia or jet lag.

Vitamin E: An antioxidant that supports immune function and may help protect against cellular damage.

Ginseng: An adaptogenic herb that may help increase energy, reduce stress, and support cognitive function.

Prebiotics: These are non-digestible fibers that promote the growth of beneficial gut bacteria, supporting gut health and digestion.

Magnesium: In addition to its previous benefits, magnesium may help reduce muscle cramps, improve mood, and promote relaxation.

Probiotics for Vaginal Health: Certain strains of probiotics can help maintain a healthy balance of vaginal flora, reducing the risk of infections.

Cranberry Extract: Often used for urinary tract health, cranberry extract may help prevent urinary tract infections.

Resveratrol: Found in grapes and berries, resveratrol has antioxidant properties and may support heart health and longevity.

L-theanine: An amino acid commonly found in green tea, L-theanine may promote relaxation, improve focus, and reduce anxiety.

Winter Wellness Challenge: Your Pharmacy Roadmap!!

It's time to strengthen our health against the seasonal obstacles as the crisp winter air comes in. Your neighborhood drugstore is a winter wellness oasis, not just a location to buy prescription drugs. We provide the best tactics and prescription items in this extensive guide to help you stay warm, well, and productive this winter.

Keeping Warm and Healthy in Winter

To stay warm and healthy throughout the winter, one must take preventative measures. Invest on thermal necessities such as heating pads, blankets, and insulated clothes, which may be purchased at your neighborhood pharmacy, in addition to conventional treatments. These items are essential to our winter wellness kit since they keep you warm even during the coldest months.

Cozy Winter Wellness Products

A variety of warm wellness products might help you beat the wintertime blues. Your pharmacy is filled with goods that are meant to improve comfort and wellbeing, such as comfortable socks, plush blankets, and aromatherapy oils in addition to herbal teas. These tiny pleasures have a big impact on how you feel winter in general.

Pharmacy Remedies for Winter Ailments

Numerous illnesses are common during the colder months. Equip yourself with wintertime-specific pharmaceutical remedies. Throat lozenges, immune-boosting supplements, and over-the-counter cold and flu remedies are essential additions to any winter self-care supply pack. Treating symptoms early on makes the transition through the cold months easier.

Winter Self-Care Pharmacy Checklist

Take advantage of a thorough self-care checklist to stay ahead of winter's problems. To fight dry skin, restock on moisturizers, lip balms, and vitamin-rich supplements. Saline nasal sprays and humidifiers are additional items on your pharmacy checklist that might help ease respiratory pain brought on by interior heating systems.

 

Top Winter Wellness Tips!

Following are some best winter wellness tips:-

1. Embrace Hydration

Winter air tends to be dry, leading to dehydration. Increase your water intake and include hydrating foods like soups and broths in your diet.

2. Prioritize Vitamin D

With limited sunlight, supplementing with vitamin D becomes crucial. Consult your pharmacist for the right dosage tailored to your needs.

3. Boost Immunity

Integrate immune-boosting foods and supplements into your routine. Consider products rich in zinc, vitamin C, and echinacea.

Listen you are not allowed to judge me but I've eaten so much unwashed fruit this summer, I'm still doing it as I type, I mean I do have access to water but I don't feel like I need to wash it. Where has the fruit been?? It's been hanging in a tree, and then, it fell, onto the grass. Is it laced with cyanide? No. There's bugs in it anyway! The bugs are faster than me and they've been alive since last year, because there was no strong frost last winter, so none of them died, and now they have like, extended families for the first time. They're not just tiny little things that got born in an egg somewhere, they have their bug grandmothers and grandfathers, all their uncles are alive, their mother is in the third marriage, you get the idea, bug families are thriving right now. So they're getting to the apple first, even if I'm picking it from the tree directly, there's already 3 worms and their aunt eating it up. And is this going to stop me from eating the apple? No. I have the right to eat apples, there's enough for everyone, we can share.

My tolerance level for what I will eat has gotten to the point that if I'm holding something in my hand, and it's edible, I will only not eat it if I feel like it will straight up kill me. Not even poison, because it's like, I've been poisoned before, it's not a big deal, I can cope. And the fruit that is on a tree and already being eaten by 20 bugs is obviously not deadly or those bugs would not be on it, their elders would tell them off, so it's bug-certified, healthy fruit and I can have it.

The trees this year have outdone themselves! Last year there was no fruit so now they're giving it their all as if trying to redeem themselves. And I'm just worried for their branches! The fruit is so heavy! All of the fruit tree branches are hanging so low and curved so badly because each is holding 1.6 ton of delicious fruit and it's like, well I'm helping if I climb up there and take some of it off, right, we can't have the trees suffer for their inability to do math.

Anyway my point is that I don't believe eating fruit can kill a person and I'm in fact, boosting my immunity for sure by being like this, I have ingested some spiderwebs too and I think that's okay too. I'm having a fruit girl summer.

I'm seeing information about the Novavax being formulated for the previous variant and the Moderna and Pfizer being for a more recent one. Is this true and if so, why are so many people trying to get the Novavax?

Hi, glad you asked! Here's a few posts on this:

Graphic (albeit from Novavax, no 3rd-party trials) showing broad neutralization:

Another, thread explaining the above. Particularly:

"Ultimately as the antigenic distance is very close for all major circulating variants, all vaccine options should be very good, and provide good protection against infection and severe disease (even when compared with infection-acquired/natural immunity)."

One more, from NPR: https://www.npr.org/sections/shots-health-news/2024/08/22/nx-s1-5082372/updated-covid-vaccines-fda-approved

The Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna ... now target the KP.2 variant ... The Novavax vaccine, which is based on an older technology, targets an earlier strain of the virus called JN.1. As many of us know by now, the virus continues evolving to better evade our immune defense, which means regularly updating the vaccines to keep up with the latest strain. It turns out the KP.2 and JN.1 variants have already been overtaken by newer variants. Because those are also descendants of omicron, the hope is that the new vaccines are close enough matches that they can still boost immunity and protect people in the coming months – ideally reducing the chances of a big winter wave. “The vaccine is not intended to be perfect. It’s not going to absolutely prevent COVID-19," Dr. Peter Marks from the FDA told NPR in an interview. "But if we can prevent people from getting serious cases that end up in emergency rooms, hospitals or worse — dead — that’s what we’re trying to do with these vaccines.”

There's a couple of other points I do not have sources for right now; if anyone would like to reblog and add some or correct this, please do!:

I've read that in the past, for example, flu vaccine efficacy was not necessarily dampened when the vax targeted a "parent". They are in the same lineage, so efficacy should be good.

Analogy (albeit imperfect): using a net vs a spear.

Of course, without more data, we don't know. I would wager that people who choose Novavax nowadays may also be informed on #Layered Protection and prioritize physical barriers (N95 masking) as the first line of defense, with vaccine as secondary bonus, since any of them have a non-negligible % of breakthroughs at this point.

It was different in 2021 when they were first released and showed high efficacy; ~3% breakthrough, if that. Now, I would not in any case rely on Pfizer or Moderna alone, so there's not much of a reason to suffer their ill effects for days.

But bodies are all different. Some people tolerate them well. Some have no other choice. As always, get the one you can, that works for you!
