When our family traveled to Israel last fall, we went prepared. We would be in Israel for almost two months and we not only didn’t want to get sick, we wanted to stay energetic and strong. My plan worked. I did not get sick at all in the 7 weeks we were in the mountains of Israel. But we also took along more than just natural supplements.
I brought along Basic H to use as a mosquito repellant and to hand wash our clothes, as well as a variety of other uses we thought up along the way. I was really pleased with the results!
And since we would be in Israel at the end of the summer, walking in the mountains nearly every day, we brought along several containers of Shaklee Performance to add to our hydration packs. We didn’t want to get dehydrated and the electrolyte mix has a welcome flavor in those hydration packs!
We brought along our regular natural nutritional supplements:
VitaLea, Vitamin C, Vitamin B Complex, Alfalfa, NutriFeron, and OsteoMatrix.
The VitaLea is a natural and powerful multi-vitamin/multi-mineral. The vitamin C and NutriFeron were to help our immune systems stay strong and fight off the new invaders that we had never been exposed to before. Vitamin B Complex is a tremendous help to the immune system as well but it also helps the body utilize its energy and we would be getting up very early in the morning and doing a lot of walking while we were in the mountains so maintaining our energy was critical. Alfalfa is part of my every day routine and I simply feel better every day when I take it, so I brought it along. And OsteoMatrix is a calcium supplement that has been helping the children with muscle cramps as well as building strong bones.
The other products that we brought with us were:
Defend and Resist Complex to “take at the first tickle” in the event that someone did come down with a bug. We shared this with our friends who really liked how it helped them get better quickly. For pain we brought along Pain Relief Complex. For our skin we brought Enfuselle hand & body lotion and Enfuselle sun block. We always use the spf 15 lip treatment and so we brought one tube per person to have on hand all the time. And we use the soap free cleansing bar in place of soap or body wash.
Now, on our next trip we will bring the same things but we will also bring a few more items along with us. We realized that while traveling, your digestive system goes through a sort of shock and it can be quite uncomfortable for some people. So next time we’ll bring HerbLax along with us and we can share it with our friends. We also decided to bring along our own Get Clean Water filter.
While we explored the Mountains of Israel and spent almost two wonderful months with a lot of our friends, we were happy to stay healthy and strong. Granted, the one(s) who stuck their supplements in their pockets at breakfast every day to reveal a sandwich bag full of “I forgot to take them” extras at the end of the trip did get a little sick. They won’t help if you don’t get them into your body! Taking them on the trip isn’t the same as taking them with food as you eat your meal. LOL Next time everyone will remember.
