The foundation of your health is your diet and lifestyle. These supplies support rest, recovery, and observation when illness strikes — know what to keep on hand, how to use it, and when.
The information on this page is intended to help you learn about items that you can keep at home that may be able to help you observe and recover from infectious disease. Some items will help you monitor your body with objective readings and others will require you to learn how to better understand how your body responds to their use. As you gain experience and knowledge, you will have a better understanding about which items may better suit you and your loved ones.
Remember that the foundation of your health is your diet and lifestyle. Anytime you suspect that you may become ill or are ill, it is wise to make sure that your diet and lifestyle will support your recovery. Rest, good food, love, and good nutrition will help give you a solid foundation upon which you can recover.
I have included affiliate links to Amazon, so that you can order most of the items directly from them and have them shipped directly to your home. There are other items that are best purchased through my Fullscript site, where I can offer better quality products and pricing than what is available on Amazon.
In Good Health,
Dr. Robles
Tracks fever as the body’s natural infection response.
Measures oxygen saturation; best to have on hand if you’re concerned about pneumonia.
Blood pressure will change during times of stress, such as illness. It is important to know your baseline reading, just like your temperature and oxygen saturation.
For example, when someone visits their doctor and their blood pressure reading is below 110/70, they are often told that they must be an athlete and praised for the reading. Granted, there may be some people who are athletes where this has an impact — however, there is another important consideration. Low “normal” blood sugar (one of the two primary fuels of the body) will result in low “normal” blood pressure. This may be one of the first signs that the body is under consistent stress for a prolonged period of time, and may warrant a different recommendation rather than praise.
Blood pressure may increase or decrease for an individual when they are unwell, so it is important to know YOUR baseline. If your blood pressure elevates over 140/90 and continues to increase, it may be wise to contact urgent care or your nurse help line for guidance — especially if you are unable to decrease the blood pressure with relaxation exercises (deep breathing, rest, meditation, prayer, etc.).
Reduces airborne particles and infectious agents — a passive, always-on intervention rather than something you use only when sick.
A device for inhaling fine-mist solutions directly into the lungs; best to have on hand if you’re concerned about pneumonia.
