As your Integrative Medicine MD, I would like to address your concerns about Coronavirus. First of all, please do not panic. Instead, you need to think in terms of how you can act from a place of prevention, protection and preparedness. In the coming weeks, there may be disruptions to systems - schools, food supplies and medication availability - so it is important to be prepared. Remember that travelers have a higher risk of getting an upper respiratory infection and especially those with comorbid conditions. So, here are some important steps you can take.
STRENGTHEN YOUR IMMUNE SYSTEM
A) Sanjevani Vitamin D3. At the minimum, I recommend taking this for general immune support. Recommended Use: The average dose is 5,000 IU per day with a meal that has some healthy fat (avocados, nuts, seeds, olive oils). Vitamin D3 is fat soluable. It is absorbed up to 60% better with fat. The recommended target goal for your immune system is between 50-100 ng/ml on blood tests (if you don’t know your number ask your doctor for a blood test to check). For those with more serious health conditions such as cancer, chronic inflammatory or autoimmune diseases the goal is around 70 to 100 ng/ml. B) Sanjevani Glucan 300 contains the highest amount of beta 1,3D Glucan on the market for immune support. In vivo and vitro studies showed it was the best for increasing Natural Killer cells (NK cells are important immune cells for fighting infections) and lowering inflammation, over and above more than 60 other dietary supplements derived from mushrooms, bran, oats and barley. Mushroom supplements contain about 20% of beta glucan. Sanjevani Glucan 300 provides a minimum of 83%. We also carry a children's gummy version called Beta Kids. Recommended Use: 2 capsules daily on empty stomach (for 45 minutes). For those with more serious health issues, or are currently sick, take one capsule for every 50 lbs. of body weight. Beta Kids - Children chew one gummy daily. Adults - chew 2 gummies daily. Click here to learn more about Sanjevani Glucan 300.
C) Coated Silver by Noble Products is the most potent nano coated colloidal silver available. Most products are 11 ppm to 23 ppm in size, are ionic and bio-accumulate in the body. Coated Silver is 20,000 ppm! Studies show that this patented form of true colloidal silver does NOT bio-accumulate in the body and is excreted. It does NOT hurt the healthy probiotics in your gut and in vitro studies show it is very EFFECTIVE in protecting us from viruses and bacteria. This product can be taken when traveling to high risk areas or when sick. Recommended Use: 1 drop daily in beverage when traveling. When sick, one drop daily in a beverage for 3 to 10 days as needed.
We are offering a 15% Discount on all Immune Support supplements LISTED BELOW from March 2-9.
The most important aspects of protection and prevention is washing your hands, using a tissue when you cough or sneeze, and avoiding close contact with people who are sick or if you are sick. Stay at home when you are sick. Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth. Clean and disinfect frequently touched surfaces at home, work, and school. Get plenty of sleep, be physically active, manage your stress, drink plenty of fluids and eat a healthy anti-inflammatory whole foods plant based diet.
