Time to Boost Your Immune System

It's that time of the year again. Cold and flu season is just around the corner.  Unfortunately for some people it has already arrived. One of the most important actions you can take is an Immune System Booster.  This is an injection or an oral medicine that boosts your immune system to fend off colds and flu.  It is a very effective treatment that has been used for over a decade at our office.

Single Treatment Now

Immune System Booster is a single treatment that helps prevent colds and flu.  You have it in the fall (now).

Series of Treatments for Some

If you have a a weakened immune system or a respiratory condition such as asthma or bronchitis, a series is required. The series is one treatment per week for six weeks.  An option for some patients is one treatment per week for three weeks now and one treatment per week for three weeks in January.

Not a Flu Shot

It is important to note an Immune System Booster is not a flu shot. A flu shot contains protection from three strains of influenza virus (the manufacturer guesses what three flu strains out of 500 you might be exposed to this year).  An Immune System Booster increases your body's ability to fight off all strains.

Before and After a Flu Shot

If you decide to have a flu shot, an Immune System Booster before and after the flu shot is recommended.  A flu shot will often compromise your immune system making you more susceptible to colds and flu, so increasing your immune system's ability to fight them off before and after the flu shot is important.

Treatment for a Cold or Flu

If you are sick right now or do succumb to a cold or flu then the Immune System Booster is used in combination with other medicines for treatment.

REMEMBER YOUR VITAMIN D

If you are not taking Vitamin D, then start. If you have been taking low doses over the summer then it is time to increase.  Make sure your Vitamin D is emulsified.  The winter is arriving and Vitamin D is a necessary supplement to help fight colds and flu and the winter blahs.
