Immunoboost
Anti-viral element combination of key nutrients and botanical extracts that boosts immune defenses by providing nutrients such as L-lysine vitamins A and C, pantothenic acid, B12, and zinc. Immunoboost includes the synergistic blend of botanical extracts black elderberry, astragalus, echinacea, and andrographis, all of which have been used traditionally for their clinically effective immune- modulating properties. It increases the activity of your natural "Killer cells" that destroy virus.
- Treatment: first day of infection take 2 capsules every 2 hours for a total of 12
- Follow Up: daily thereafter, take just 2 capsules per day.
Andrographis (Virographis) **contraindicated in pregnancy**
In clinical studies, andrographis was shown to decrease severity and duration of upper respiratory tract infections including influenza flu virus. It also relieves the inflammatory symptoms of sinusitis. Laboratory studies have found that andrographis increases white cell and natural killer cell activity and reduce symptom severity in people with the common cold.
- Prevention: Employ this approach when there is infection within the household or the close community such as school and neighborhood.
- Adults – take 2 capsules per day
- Treatment of active infection:
- Adults – take 6-8 capsules per day
Moducare
Comprised of plant sterols that work to increase the responsiveness of the immune system. Natural killer (NK) cells in our immune system hunt down invading infections and devour them Moducare increases the activity of Natural Killer cells to enhance surveillance and also reduce inflammation.
- Prevention: 2 capsules taken daily away from food.
- Treatment: 3 capsules taken twice daily (6 total) away from food.
WholeMune
We recommend that you use this specific product anytime you are on an antibiotic to improve the effectiveness of the antibiotic kill rate. This specific beta glucan was proven in human clinical trials to prepare and protect the immune system from repeated and ongoing stressors. This product contains 75 % pure beta glucan and is considered the most effective single nutrient to naturally prime immune cells and significantly boost immune defense.
- Prevention: 1 capsule daily
- Treatment: 2-3 capsule daily
Argentyn 23
A silver nanoparticle product that has broad anti-microbial spectrum for virus, fungus and bacterial elements. It can be taken into the body via multiple routes.
- 2 sprays to each nostril 3 to 4 times per day as needed for cold and flu symptoms
- Comes as a nasal or a throat spray.
- Liquid form can be added to Neti pot.
- Can be consumed mixed in water to impact the bowel.
Vitamin C A baseline "absolute must"
Vitamin C is strongly supportive of our immune function and has been shown to reduce the occurrence of colds and even shorten their duration. Vitamin C increase production of white cells and killer cells that attack infections. It also modulates prostaglandin synthesis decreasing inflammation.
- Prevention: good idea throughout the winter season
- Capsules 500 mg – 2 capsules twice per day
- Buffered Vitamin C powder – ½ tsp mixed in water once daily
- Treatment:
- Capsules 500 mg – 2 capsules 3 to 4 times per day
- Buffered Vitamin C powder – ½ tsp mixed in water 2 to 3 times per day
- Caution - Large amounts of vitamin C may cause diarrhea. If this occurs there is no cause for alarm, simply reduce the dose.
Vitamin D3
High dose vitamin D has been used in controlled studies and shown to be exceedingly safe and remarkably effective. It up regulates naturally occurring anti-microbial peptides that attack infection. It’s like your own internal antibiotic. We make vitamin D when our skin is exposed to the sun so clearly we are deficient during the winter months.
- Prevention: this should be employed year round in support of health
- 5000 IU daily. Be sure to have your blood level measured at some point as this is a fat-soluble vitamin and you can accumulate too much.
- Treatment: high dose, short term use during active infections
- 20,000 IU three time per day (total of 60,000 IU/day) - for 5 days ONLY
- This short term high dose use is exceedingly safe.
Moducare Chewable
Comprised of plant sterols that work to increase the responsiveness of the immune system. Natural killer (NK) cells in our immune system hunt down invading infections and devour them Moducare increases the activity of Natural Killer cells to enhance surveillance and also reduce inflammation.
- Prevention: 1-2 chewable tablets taken away from food.
- Treatment: 2-3 chewable tablets taken away from food.
Vitamin C
Vitamin C is strongly supportive of our immune function and has been shown to reduce the occurrence of colds and even shorten their duration. Vitamin C increase production of white cells and killer cells that attack infections. It also modulates prostaglandin synthesis decreasing inflammation.
- Prevention: Capsules can be opened and mixed with food, drink, or smoothie.
- 2-6 years old – 500 mg twice per day
- 7-12 years old – 500 mg capsule - 2 capsules given twice per day
- teenagers – 500 mg capsules - take 2 or 3 capsules twice daily
- Treatment: simply double the above doses. Large amounts of vitamin C may cause diarrhea. If this occurs there is no cause for alarm, simply reduce the dose.
Vitamin D3
High dose vitamin D has been used in controlled studies and shown to be exceedingly safe and remarkably effective. It up regulates naturally occurring anti-microbial peptides that attack infection. It’s like your own internal antibiotic. We make vitamin D when our skin is exposed to the sun so clearly we are deficient during the winter months.
- Prevention: this should be employed year round in support of health
- Under 12 years of age - 2,000 IU/day
- 12 years and older - 4,000 - 5,000 IU/day
- Treatment: high dose, short term use during active infections
- Under 12 yrs= 30,000 IU/day - for 5 days ONLY
- 12 years and older - 60,000 IU/day - for 5 days ONLY
