Cytokine Storm Formula from Purify Your Body

 Here's some information about our Cytokine Storm formula! This is one of my most popular formulas, and one I created at the beginning of the COVID pandemic. It most likely won't be a permanent product, and may only be temporary. Each time we run out I decide whether to make another batch or not.

Let's tell you a little bit more about this formula and how to best use it to your advantage. 

What is a Cytokine Storm?  A cytokine storm is what is happening in all those folks that you hear are dying from Coronavirus.  A cytokine storm CAN kill you. It occurs when a very severe viral infection (such as Coronavirus, SARS, Swine Flu H1N1 or Bird Flu H5N1) takes control of your immune system and causes immune confusion in your body. Basically your body starts to work on overdrive and becomes really confused. This reaction called “Cytokine Storm” over activates your body to where normal feedback loops designed to calm things down fail to operate.

It is said that most of the 25 million people that died from the Spanish flu epidemic of 1918 died from the cytokine storm.

Don’t worry if you or your kids get a cold or flu. You can start taking elderberry, my cold and flu formula, or other immune boosting powerful herbs. It is only if the following symptoms start up that you need to start worrying:

-High Fever for extended period of time (102*+ for 2 full days without breaking)
-Swelling and redness on the body
-EXTREME fatigue
-Nausea and diarrhea consistent for 2 full days-Rapid resting heart rate (over 100 beats per minute)

Those symptoms can be a cytokine storm. And this formula can help!

First, the dosage and how to take it.

Dosage: Take 20-30 drops 2-3x per day as needed to fight off viral infections such as the flu, SARS, Coronavirus, etc. that have gone on longer than a week and aren’t getting better. 

Why are tinctures a preferred method of taking herbs? Because tinctures are potent! You don’t waste your money on pills that have been in the manufacturing process for months / years and lose potency! With an alcohol base, the tinctures pull out all the medicinal benefits of the plant, and preserve them naturally for you! They don’t lose potency over time. If you forget about this formula in your cupboard and find it in 5 years, you can still take it! It will still be potent! Isn't that cool?

A question I get asked a lot is about the dosage for kids or babies. Ultimately you'd want to give babies up to 3 years old 1/4 the dose, and for kids up to 12 years old, 1/2 the dose. Kids over 12 you can give the adult dose. 

Now, the ingredients. While these herbs are good for calming cytokine storms, these ingredients also are great antioxidants, have a lot of other healing properties, are good for many other things. 

Ginger: A spicy, warming, aromatic spice famous for relieving nausea & indigestion, warming the body, and promoting appetite. In this way ginger is a potential remedy for motion sickness, flatulence, and chemotherapy-induced nausea.

Milk Thistle: Research has shown that it promotes the regeneration of diseased liver cells and protects them against some poisons. This gives it a role in any chronic liver disease and especially those due to alcohol, drug, or dietary abuse. It will also aid in gall bladder problems.

Red Raspberry Leaf: Red Raspberry Leaf is best known as a women’s reproductive herb, but it also is used for viral infections like influenza, as well as breaking a fever. It is a lung blood tonic and helps with anemia. It is full of nutrients such as vitamin C and B, magnesium, iron, calcium and phosphorus.

Rose Hips: Rose hip contains a number of important antioxidants (including vitamin C, vitamin E, beta-carotene, and lycopene) that are beneficial to your health. Alternative practitioners also believe that rose hip can prevent or treat a wide range of gastrointestinal and inflammatory symptoms.

Skullcap: A generalist herb useful for a number of nervous system related problems; nerve tonic and pain remedy. Both skeletal and muscle relaxant. It is a relaxing sedative generally without the knock-you-out effect, making it useful for daytime use. This works well in formulas with other nervines and relaxants.

St. John’s Wort: This herb comes to the rescue for raw nerves and wounds of flesh. It calms anxiety, melancholy and tension of the mind, nerves and body, as well as menopausal irritability. Externally, its antiseptic astringency aids healing of flesh wounds like sores, cuts, bruises, burns, hemorrhoids & varicose veins, and helps to calm swelling, stop bleeding & prevent infection, especially with weak immunity. It is also useful externally for sciatica, arthritis, spine ailments & fybromyalgia – anything ‘nervy’.

Yarrow: Perhaps most famously, yarrow is prized for its benefits to wounds or minor bleeding. Its mild antiseptic and anodyne properties coupled with its ability to coagulate blood and stop bleeding make it the perfect ally in this case. These properties also make it useful in cases of hemorrhoids, post-partum care, bruises, and mouth sores, as well as internal bleeding. Yarrow beautifully harmonizes blood circulation and can be beneficial in cases of stagnation such as varicose veins or fibroids, as well as cases of overstimulated blood flow, such as hypertension.
