Covid Information and Resources

Disclaimer: This information does not constitute a diagnosis or take any form of medical advice. I have seen over 40 cases of Covid-19. Every person that developed symptoms made a full recovery without going to the hospital. So far, Washington state has been pretty good about safety measures and the stay-at-home order. The feeling in the air is that the threat is almost over. Even my most diligent clients are relaxing their hygiene standards. NOW IS THE TIME TO BOOST YOUR IMMUNITY! To help prevent another dose of the stay-at-home order, do your part to keep yourself safe and others as well. Spend some time outdoors or focus on activities and people that make you happy. Take the time to rebuild your strength for when we are fully back to normal.

Let’s do our part to keep the elderly and immunocompromised (those with diabetes, obesity, asthma and allergies, heart disease, autoimmunity, etc.) safe! Wearing a mask is the new normal. I think just, if not more important, is the use of wipes or gloves. I am always seeing people yanking up their mask, wearing it like a headband, around their neck and just plain out touching it a lot! Before we all started wearing masks, I would take my wipes (EO Lavender wipes I find at Sprouts) EO Hand Sanitizer, Wipes, Lavender and wipe off the cart, pick up groceries and use it to touch all pin pads and door handles. When I get home, I wash my hands. Let’s keep our city and family members safe. I think this awareness is fantastic about how illnesses spread. Wouldn’t it be great if people continued to wear a mask or use gloves if they have a cold or flu? Also, having a wellness program in place can help your body fight any infection that comes its way. Focusing on staying healthy and being concerned about others’ health is one of the positives that we can take away from this pandemic.

There are many supplements that may help support the immune system. These supplements are specifically picked to help support the body for any virus. Click on Dr. Ramaley’s video below (the 1st article link) to see why these nutrients may be helpful. He also has a fever protocol; recommending a hot bath, hot tea and wearing hot socks to raise the temperature, instead of taking medicine to lower the fever!

Answers to Questions That I Am Frequently Asked

What can I test for? Energetically I am able to test for an active infection, a very recent exposure and also if you are a carrier. Please note, that this would be an assessment of the energy of your body regarding the virus. This is not a diagnosis. Email [email protected] or book a free 10-Minute Consultation for more information.

How accurate are antibody tests? The numbers vary. I have seen the NY Times say that the antibody tests are 70% inaccurate (see link in articles). Of course, the labs who offer the test say the tests are 99.8% accurate. I offer an antibody test that is created in an FDA certified lab. You can order it here: https://www.nourishandrevive.com/order-lab-work/. Side note: This test is very accurate if you have an active infection. This is a fingerprick blood test. You will be sent a test kit and send the blood work to the lab for testing. The lab is FDA Registered and ISO 13485 compliant manufacturing facility as well as a CLIA High Complexity Laboratory. They also offer leaky gut and food sensitivity tests. Please see Food Sensitivity Test section above.

If I have had Covid-19 am I still contagious? Maybe! This really depends upon when you first were infected with the virus. It is recommended that after you know that you have Covid-19 that you self-isolate for 3 weeks.

If I have had Covid-19, have antibodies or have been exposed to Covid-19 without developing symptoms, am I further immune to contracting Covid-19? The data is inconclusive. I am sure they will want you to get a vaccine to be sure. You can do your own research to see if you want a vaccination.

There are reports of people testing positive with the Covid-19 bloodwork tests, then testing negative and then again testing positive a week or more later. In my opinion, this is just the virus and infection hiding. I have energetic boosters that let me test inside the organs and systems where the virus likes to hide. It can go dormant for a short while, so you think the virus is over and you feel better. Then is comes back for a second or third week. As of August 1st, I have seen two cases immerge. Their symptoms lasted less than a week. This may be because they because they had a supplement arsenal ready in case it did come back. I have also had a few new people come in with a positive energetic Covid test. They have told me that they believe they had Covid earlier in the year. Since I was not able to test them, I am not classifying them in my reemergence cases. These new cases had a reemergence symptoms of a few weeks and then came to see me. After my immune boosting supplements, they felt better within a week.

Without hesitation I highly recommend Heidi Rickard founder of Nourish & Revive to support you on your health & wellness journey. She is extremely knowledgeable, conscientious and professional while always caring, kind and generous. I have appreciated the support and peace of mind Heidi has provided me since 2018. I was diagnosed with Breast Cancer 2017, and along with my Naturopath, and Heidi I have built a trusted team to support my goals to respond naturally, build up my immune system and thrive.

I completed the 21 day Detox with Heidi and I feel amazing! I wasn't hungry at all and it allowed me to break free of the diet soda addiction I had been battling for a lifetime. Heidi makes the process so easy. It's all very well planned out and the recipes are easy, delicious and made me appreciation whole foods again. She checked in with me during the process as well as after to make sure I had a smooth transition off of the detox on Day 22. This is going to be an annual part of my wellness journey! Thanks, Heidi!!!

Heidi has been an incredible support for me over the past couple of years. I was gifted an hour of energy work by a friend & now I book regular appointments that facilitate me being more grounded, mentally clear and overall energetically healthy. I also did the detox program this Fall & it's the healthiest I've felt in years. I'd highly recommend Heidi and her services! She's so in tune & goes beyond to offer good care!

Heidi is so lovely. She totally trusted me and my own body and helped me heal completely! I prefer natural methods to western medicine and Heidi is a very kind, egoless, and knowledgeable practitioner. When she was recommended to me - the person said that Heidi was who they go to when nobody else can figure out what’s going on. And they were totally right!

My husband and I did the 21 day detox/cleanse. So much better than anything else we’ve tried! Our goals were to lose weight and reset our diet, which this did. We now have cleared direction about what our bodies need for nourishment. Heidi was great to work with- so caring and helpful. We highly recommend Nourish and Revive!
