Preventative Health Tips

With flu and cold season well underway and the new cases of the coronavirus in the U.S., it’s important to take steps to keep yourself healthy. Keeping yourself well is certainly better than trying to get well again once you’re sick. In this blog, we’ll go over tips and suggestions to do daily to help ward off sickness.

Wash your hands. You cannot wash your hands too much. Also, don’t be in a hurry. Give handwashing the time it deserves to be thorough. The CDC recommends washing your hands for a minimum of 20 seconds each time. They also say that hand sanitizer that is at least 60% alcohol-based is acceptable if soap and water is not readily available.

Don’t sneeze into your hands. If you must sneeze, make sure you’re sneezing on the inside of your elbow and not on your hands. Even better, sneeze into a tissue and throw it away! Whenever you sneeze, it also couldn’t hurt to wash your hands or use hand sanitizer, too.

Washing your hands is the best defense against sickness. 


Try not to touch your face. When you touch your face, you transferring whatever is on your hands to your face. For example, let’s say sneezed into his hands and touches a doorknob before you. When you touch said doorknob, you would be picking up contaminants. Then, when touching your face, you would be transferring those contaminants.

If you’re sick, stay at home. As much as you might be worried about the tasks you have to accomplish at work, you don’t want to get coworkers and customers sick. It’s best not to spread contamination further. So, we highly recommend staying home until you are well.
Drink enough water. Making sure that you’re hydrated can go a long way when it comes to preventative health. Don’t wait until you feel extremely thirsty or lightheaded. Kick off your day a healthy dose of water.

Greek Testing

No one ever wants to hear ‘You have cancer’. However, just because you’ve been diagnosed doesn’t mean that it is the end and there is a multitude of treatments out there that have helped many people defeat cancer in their lives, including holistic healing methods available at the Get Well Center. The way we begin any cancer treatment is through what is called a Greek Test . We start by drawing blood and then sending the sample to RGCC, a genetics research facility that specializes in providing doctors and patients with a way to determine the best course of action when it comes to making a treatment plan, allowing each patient to have a plan that is catered to their needs, rather than a single catch-all approach that some treatment centers use. Greek Testing is a relatively new approach to treating cancer. It can help recognize where new developing cancers may be starting, help monitor current cancers and help physicians choose the correct natural medicine treatment for any patient. T

When living with cancer, it can be difficult to manage your pain and participate in therapy. Many times, patients will begin to feel stuck in a rut, or grow tired of trying the same treatments over and over again. That is why so many are turning to alternative cancer therapy treatments; but what are these treatments? One of the most effective cancer therapy treatments is intravenous high-dose vitamin C. It has been found that many cancer patients exhibit seriously low levels of vitamin C in their bodies. Intravenous high-doses of vitamin C will help your body fight cancer cells with its antioxidant properties and collagen producing enzymes. The second cancer therapy option worth noting is insulin potentiated therapy, or IPT. When a patient is participating in chemotherapy or on other medication, they often experience many unpleasant side effects. IPT helps alleviate these symptoms caused by chemotherapy. This option is great for those wishing to add something else to their cancer ther
