Health Officials Urge Vaccination as H3N2 Nears Belize

Health officials are urging vigilance as Influenza A (H3N2) strain, is knocking at Belize’s door. This virus spreads fast and can hit hard, especially the elderly, young kids, and anyone with chronic health issues. The Ministry of Health and Wellness says the best defense is to get vaccinated, wash your hands often, and if you’re sick, stay home. The ministry also stresses building up your immune system to fight off infection. Strengthening your immune and organ systems is key to preventing infection and reducing the virus’s impact. Herbalist Reggie Hamilton says his treatments blend seamlessly with conventional care to build the body’s defense against viruses like influenza.

“I’m in no way, shape or form will discourage you from seeing a doctor. In fact, the doctor is my way in getting to help other people because I work exactly from a diagnosis. If the doctor said influenza, if the doctor says there is a bacteria built up, if the doctor says there is a circulatory problem, remember like I said we have six organs. We have to understand how to feed these organs, nurturing them, how to clean them and how to help to enhance them. This is how a respiration tea would look like. It has the Peter Seco. It has the sage. It has the eucalyptus. So it is a combination of those things and then you do a tea. And then I have an instruction to guide you and tell you well this is how you do this. This pack is equivalent to two liters of water and when you do it you can do a recycling of it so you can get the strength of it – the potency of it. When you do a recycling you reduce water volume so that you get the same balance of the liquid. And you can drink it over a day or two. It will not do anything worse to your situation if you have a cold but better it. When I do a detox it’s the make up of the same respiration tea with other things to create the body with a prerogative or a laxative to arrest – remember I told you the definition of a detox for me, in layman’s term is to arrest, uproot and discharge. So Im going to create a formula to put the body through a prerogative or a laxative so you can go to the toilet and pass out the mucus.”
