Strengthen Your Immune System

Strengthen Your Immune System

By Dr Schavi M Ali

Post on January 2, 2026 


Challenging weather conditions, stress, poor quality foods, taking prescription drugs, and the damaged auric fields of other people can all disharmoniously affect your immune system. I suggest that you print-out the following list of information for continuing reference on strengthening the human immune system.

1.) Eat organic vegetables, fruits, nuts, seeds, and grains. Do not eat meat because not only does this cause a bad karma (animals have consciousness and thus feelings too just as humans do), but also because animals are injected with chemicals and hormones which get into human cells and can create disease. Many people think that protein only comes from meat, but this is untrue. Vegetables, nuts, and beans all contain nutritious protein. Learn how to prepare meals without meat or meat products.

2.) Dairy from animals (cows, goats, etc.) is meant for animals—not humans. There is research that exists that was conducted many years ago that shows that dairy from animals actually weakens human bones. It does not strengthen them. Also, many people are lactose intolerant. Instead of milk from animals, use oat milk or almond milk or coconut milk. All of these are rich in necessary calcium and other vitamins and minerals. Plus, they do not increase cholesterol levels like regular dairy milk can do.

3.) Many people rush into using soy milk when they decide not to use regular dairy milk. This is unwise because it contains toxins and anti-nutrients. In the year 1913, the “U.S. Department of Agriculture” (USDA) billed soy as an “industrial product”—not “a food”. Soy was used in ancient China in about the 5th century (B.C.E.) but is used today in only fermented form. Soy, in general however, contains “goitrogens” which are substances that depress thyroid function. It also blocks the uptake of essential minerals such as calcium, magnesium, copper, iron, and amino acids. It causes disease in the breasts, pancreas, and liver. At one time and instill in certain places today, soy was (and is) used extensively in school lunch programs (primarily in urban areas and in the so-called “third world”) and is used all around the world in baked goods and in beverages. It is also used in “fast food” burgers and fries. Even some supposedly natural vitamins and minerals use soy-based capsules. Whether you shop in a regular grocery store or in a health food store, read the labels!

4.) Wear AMBER daily as a necklace, a prayer mala, a bracelet, or rings. Make sure that it is authentic AMBER. The best AMBER is now sourced in the Baltic region in such nations as Lithuania, Poland, and Russia. Authentic AMBER can also be found in Bharata (India) and Tibet. It contains powerful anti-oxidant and anti-bacterial agents as well as silicon, magnesium, iron, calcium, potassium, iodine, succinic acid and other vital organic compounds which regulate the functioning of the nervous system, kidneys, thyroid, stomach, bladder, gallbladder, spleen, heart—and it strengthens the immune system. It also helps to oxygenate the cells. Further, it protects against harmful EMFs (Electro-Magnetic Frequencies) lurking in the atmosphere or coming from technological equipment. The warmth of the human body releases the valuable substances into the pores and then into the cells.

5.) After being out in the world at the end of each day around all sorts of people who may have a low vibration of consciousness (work environments, schools, stores, at meetings, in social events, etc.), wand your auric field from the top of your head to the soles of your feet with tone of 528 Hertz—which is often referred to as the “Miracle Tone”—with either a tuning fork, a singing bowl, or by drumming. The sound of 528 Hertz resets what may have become disharmonized and out of alignment with SOURCE FREQUENCY while you were engaging with the public in some manner. Also, wand your auric field with a SELENITE wand to remove dissonance from your auric field. Whatever method you use, be sure to wand your crown (top of your head), your neck and shoulders, all around your arms, your torso, your legs and feet, and the soles of your feet. Do this procedure at least three times.

6.) Do not make a habit of watching murder mysteries, war movies, horror programs, or of constantly watching mainstream news. Taking in the voices and the pictures of what is being presented “programs” your cellular records for fear and anxiety. Watch some news, of course. We must remain aware of what is happening in the world, but do not watch so much of it that it becomes your “entertainment”. Such programming depletes the immune system.

7.) Ancient Sanskrit mantras are very healing and protective and can be recited regardless of your “religion” or spiritual path. How many people know that the word “religion” is defined as “to be bound”, and this refers to being entrenched in man-made rules and regulations for worshiping “GOD” and has nothing to do with true DIVINE REVELATION? Another manner in which to strengthen your immune system is via study. Learning new information increases the neurons in your brain and makes you healthier. There are thousands of Sanskrit mantras, and I have provided many of them in previous articles. Here is a repeat of three very powerful healing and protective mantras. It is best to recite any one of them on each bead of a mala (Sandalwood is an excellent choice) and then to wear the mala when you need an extra boost in your immune system. However, some people wear them daily for ongoing wellness.

“AUM SRI DHANVANTRE NAMAHA” (“Oh, Divine, I bow to the Holy Celestial Physician”).
“AUM SRI MAHA LAKSMAYA NAMAHA” (Oh, Divine, I bow to the Holy Great Granter of Spiritual and Material
Abundance”). This mantra also attracts economic wealth.
“AUM” (“Oh, Divine”).

8.) Wear the following essential oils mixed together in equal portions on your crown, your temples, the back of your neck, over your solar plexus, and on the soles of your feet: FRANKINCENSE, MYRRH, SANDALWOOD, EUCALYPTUS, and TEA TREE. You can also purchase from the “Young Living” company an oil called “Thieves” or the oil called “First Response” from the “Aura Cacia” company. Both of these oils are now available in some health food stores. Essential oils initially move into the pores and then into the cells within seconds. They can also be placed in warm bath water (about six or seven drops) or diffused so that the healing essences can waft throughout a room.

9.) Keep yourself clean. You should take a shower or a bath daily. Keep your clothing clean too. Do not wear it day after day without laundering it or taking it to the cleaners. Germs can attach to your clothes.

10.) Keep you living environment clean.

11.) Light incense often to bless your home. AMBER, FRANKINCENSE, ROSE, or SANDALWOOD are superb choices.

12.) Recite often the following “Sankalpa” (“Affirmation”): “I AM BLESSED BY SOURCE LIGHT, AND EVERYTHING IS IN DIVINE ORDER”.

Envision our entire planet Earth as well as yourself enfolded in the LIGHT of the INFINITE PRESENCE.

Understanding Hypothyroidism

Understanding Hypothyroidism

By Stephanie Walsh

Posted on June 9, 2025





Your thyroid gland is a tiny butterfly-shaped organ located at the base of your neck near the Adam’s apple. Despite its tiny size, the thyroid has a big job controlling energy production for every cell in the body.

The thyroid’s main role is regulating metabolism through two hormones – thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3). T4 is an inactive form which gets converted into T3 in the liver, kidneys, gastrointestinal tract, brain and muscles. It is the active form of T3 that stimulates cells to produce energy.

The thyroid works in concert with the hypothalamus and pituitary gland to regulate thyroid hormone production. But, the health of your thyroid is also intricately tied to the health of your gastrointestinal tract, gut microbiome, liver, kidneys, adrenal glands and even your immune system.

Problems with thyroid function arise when something throws off the delicate balance between any of these connections. Eventually thyroid hormone production gets out of whack, conversion of thyroid hormone into its active form falters, and/or thyroid tissue gets damaged. This is when your thyroid, and overall health, gets compromised.

The Causes

Hypothyroidism is described as an under-active thyroid gland or the inability to convert inactive thyroid hormone to its active form. Because of the complexity of what may influence thyroid function, there are many potential causes of hypothyroidism.

The hypothalamus and pituitary gland are constantly monitoring thyroid hormone levels, so any dysfunction in this network will compromise thyroid health. Here are some additional ways the thyroid may be effected.

  • Serotonin and/or Dopamine Deficiency: Insufficient levels of serotonin or dopamine will hinder communication between the hypothalamus and thyroid, decreasing thyroid hormone production.

  • Blood Sugar Imbalance: Hypoglycemia, insulin resistance and diabetes will decrease serotonin and dopamine production and suppress pituitary function which, in turn, reduces thyroid hormone production.

  • Systemic Inflammation: Chronic infections, Lyme disease, food intolerances, insulin resistance, molds and toxins can damage the hypothalamus and affect its communication with the thyroid.

  • Autoimmune Disease: Autoimmunity is when the immune system attacks healthy cells, which could include the thyroid.

  • Gut Dysfunction: If stomach acid and digestive enzyme production are suboptimal, or the gut lining is compromised and “leaky,” absorption of nutrients vital for thyroid health is greatly reduced. Additionally, healthy gut flora converts 20% of the body’s T3, which means gut dysbiosis will reduce conversion of thyroid hormone to its active form.

  • Liver Dysfunction: If the liver is not working optimally, the body cannot clear excess estrogen and environmental toxins, compromising thyroid health.

  • Chronic Stress: Chronic stress will lead to adrenal fatigue, reduced stomach acid production, gut dysbiosis, leaky gut syndrome, compromised immunity, blood sugar imbalance, systemic inflammation, improper liver detoxification, and suppressed pituitary function. All of these are detrimental to thyroid hormone production.

The Symptoms

If you have one or more of the following symptoms, you may have hypothyroidism:

  • Fatigue

  • Depression

  • Poor concentration

  • Forgetfulness

  • Weight gain or the inability to lose weight

  • Constipation

  • Food sensitivities, especially gluten

  • Muscle soreness and pain

  • Puffy face

  • Dry and brittle hair and nails

  • Dry, flaky skin

  • Cold hands and feet

  • Thinning outer third of eyebrows

  • Heavy menstrual periods

  • Infertility

  • High cholesterol

Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis

Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis is an autoimmune disease in which the body attacks its own healthy thyroid tissue. This condition arises from an overactive immune system, not from thyroid dysfunction. So understanding what’s putting your immunity into overdrive is key to treating and managing the disease.

The primary cause for an overcharged immune system is inflammation. If the inflammatory process never gets a rest, it stays in overdrive. This can occur because of:

  • Infections

  • Injuries

  • Overload of toxins

  • Diet lacking in antioxidants

  • Intestinal permeability or “leaky gut”

Additionally, having another autoimmune disease, such as Type 1 diabetes, celiac disease, lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, or multiple sclerosis can increase your risk of Hashimoto’s.

Thyroid and Gut Health

A leaky gut is not just a source of inflammation, it is a cog in a vicious cycle that spirals out of control. It starts with a disruption in the gut lining – from food intolerances, alcohol, stress, anti-inflammatory drugs, antibiotics, candida overgrowth, or fatty acid deficiency.

This leads to improper absorption of food which creates an immune response. The immune response creates immune complexes that settle in the gut lining and create inflammation. This inflammation continues to damage the gut lining which leads to food intolerances, more disruption in the lining, more malabsorption, more inflammation and more leaky gut.

Gut health is very important for immune and thyroid health. Over 70% of your immune system is in the gut, and 20% of circulating T4 is converted to T3 by an enzyme in your gastrointestinal tract. If the gut lining is compromised your immunity weakens and your production of active thyroid hormone decreases.

Additionally, the protein structure of gluten is very similar to thyroid tissue which can create the perfect storm leading to Hashimoto’s. It is a trifecta of autoimmune risk – a compromised gut, an overactive immune system, and a diet high in gluten. When your immune system mounts an attack on gluten, it also mistakenly attacks healthy thyroid tissue. This is the very definition of Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis.

Getting Back into Balance

Taking steps to enhance immunity, optimize gut health, reduce inflammation, balance blood sugar and support the liver are all important for thyroid health. Here are 6 tips to support your thyroid and overall health:

  • Exercise. Choose a mix of short cardio sessions and strength training.

  • Manage Stress. Find a work-life balance, discover activities you find relaxing and joyful.

  • Eat every 2-4 hours. This is an easy way to balance blood sugar and support the thyroid.

  • Eat a diet low in carbohydrates and high in healthy fats, protein and veggies.

  • Choose Organic. Reducing pesticide and toxin exposure will support all aspects of health.

  • Avoid soy, gluten, dairy and sugar. All of these foods compromise thyroid function.

  • Cook Certain Foods. Kale, cabbage, turnips, sweet potatoes, kelp, broccoli and Brussel sprouts have goitrogen – a compound that inhibits iodine uptake by the thyroid. But, lightly cooking them will inhibit this negative effect.

Foods for Thyroid Health

In addition to the above, certain foods and supplements can help get thyroid function back into balance.

  • Selenium. This mineral assists with conversion to T3, reduces inflammation and protects the thyroid. Food sources: Brazil nuts, salmon, free-range eggs, and mushrooms.

  • Vitamin D. This vitamin is key for regulating the immune system. Food sources: Salmon, free-range eggs, and mushrooms.

  • Magnesium. This mineral helps balance blood sugar, supports serotonin production, and assists the pituitary-thyroid connection. Food sources: Leafy greens, pumpkin seeds, almonds, bananas and avocados.

  • Vitamin C. This vitamin enhances immunity, repairs the gut lining and reduces inflammation. Food sources: strawberries, cantaloupe, and sweet potato.
