Fight Those Germs with Immune Support Supplements

It’s Holiday Season

Be sure you have plenty of immune support supplements in your cupboards.

Time to mix it up with friends and family. And also time to mix it up with germs.

Be on guard! Stock up on immune support supplements to boost your immune system and have some fight power at the first symptoms of germ invasion.

At least in the northern hemisphere, we also have much less opportunity to expose our skin to the sun’s rays that stimulate the conversion of cholesterol to that potent germ fighter Vitamin D.

So we get that double whammy of more germ exposure and less vitamin D to fight the germs.

It’s time to arm ourselves against the GERMS! Let’s be prepared and get pro-active in remaining resilient and healthy during the holiday season and throughout the winter. 

First, stock an array of supplements to fight off a germ attack at the first sign of symptoms.

Second, give ongoing support to your immune system with supplements that daily feed your immune system the building blocks it needs to stay strong.

Fight those germs with these:

Suggestions for Supplements for Acute Immune Assault (Infection)

Let’s start with some ideas about how to use these immune support supplements when you get the first inkling of an infection starting. The sooner you blast it with immune support supplements that give your immune system fight power, the sooner you will start to feel better. Kill those germs before they multiply out of control.

1. Rapid Immune Response 40 lvcap Gaia Herbs (Professional Solutions)

If I could only have one immune support supplement to fight germs in my cupboard, this is the one I would buy.

Look at what’s in it:

                Echinacea Extract Blend 100 mg
                Echinacea purpurea root supercritical extract* (Echinacea purpurea), Echinacea root angustifolia              supercritical extract * (Echinacea angustifolia) (10 mg of total Alkylamides from combined     supercritical extracts)
                Proprietary Extract Blend 598 mg
                Elderberry fruit juice concentrate* (Sambucus nigra), Andrographis leaf extract * (Andrographis               paniculata), Ginger root supercritical extract * (Zingiber officinale)

You probably recognize all of those herbs that support the immune system. Now in one bottle!

And Gaia Herbs grows their own herbs and carefully crafts them into the final product. Look at their care and expertise: ” …  the Gaia Herb Farm is… certified organic by Oregon Tilth…  we control every stage of production from organic soil enrichment programs, seed selection, cultivation, and harvesting, to research and analysis for correct harvest time.”  Read more: http://gaiaprofessional.com/pages/detail/7/about-us

And here is the suggested way to take Rapid Immune Response herbs:

” Adults take 2 capsules 5 times daily for 2 days at onset. Repeat for 2 days if necessary or as directed by your health care provider.”

So you really hit those invaders hard the first few days.

2. Silver Hydrosol 10 ppm 16 oz – Sovereign Silver

If herbs don’t agree with you (a few folks may be sensitized to them), then silver hydrosol may be your first choice to fight off germs.

Silver suppresses unfriendly organisms without having as many adverse effects as antibiotics.

Robert Scott Bell in his book Unlock the Power to Heal recommends taking 7 teaspoons per day for acute immune support.

3. Zinc+Throat Guard Lozenges 50 loz – PERQUE

Ingredients:

Zinc (citrate, aspartate, glycinate) 15mg 
Vitamin C 60mg
Echinacea 10mg
Slippery Elm 25mg
OPC 85+ 5mg
Sucanat honey 236mg
Mannitol 200mg
Natural Raspberry 45mg
Natural Cherry 7mg 
Vegetable Fiber 25mg 
Magnesium 6 mg 

As a dietary supplement dissolve one in mouth or as directed by a health care professional. Each lozenge contains 15 mg of zinc, so use no more than 3 per day for adults for no more than 3 days unless your health care practitioner says you can take more.

4. Vitamin A Whammy

This is a trick I learned while helping folks in my office. Taking a whole lot of vitamin A controls some viruses. By examining folks I could determine if what they were fighting would be helped by vitamin A. So you may want to try the Vitamin A whammy if the other supplements aren’t helping.

But be careful. Do not take these high doses of vitamin A if you are pregnant or could possibly be pregnant.

Do not give high doses of Vitamin A to children. These high doses are only for adults.

Do not take high doses of vitamin A if you have liver trouble.

Only take the high doses for 3 days and then stop.

Here’s the high dose protocol:

Take 100,000 to 300,000 IU of vitamin A per day for no more than 3 days. Smaller adults usually only need 100,000 IU per day and larger adults about 150,000 IU per day. Taking Vitamin E 400 IU helps it work better.

Sometimes it’s hard to find a high dose vitamin A. These are the ones you can choose from on Wellevate,

             Vitamin A 10,000 IU 120 gels Pure Encapsulations

            Vitamin A 25000 IU 100 gels Vital Nutrients

            A-Mulsion 10000 IU 1 oz Genestra – This is a handy liquid when you’re taking high doses of vitamin A. Each drop contains 10,000 IU of Vitamin A. So to take 100,000 IU, you would only need 10 drops. Be sure to measure carefully so you don’t take too much.
