From the NY Times: Deadlier Flu Season Is Possible, C.D.C. Says
My wife and I take two immune support supplements beginning in September and we take then through April each season. We do not get a flu shot as many do. The flu injection may not work as it appears to be the case this year. Instead we focus on boosting our immune systems with these two specific products:
Vitamin D3
and
Im-Comp.
Both of these products are sold by www.creationsnutrients.us product #’s are CN1108 and CN5081. You can read about vitamin D3 at www.vitamindcouncil.org . Im-Comp has several ingredients that help our immune system: Vitamin C, zinc, Echinacea extract, Blue Flag, thymus nutrition support, and lymph nutrition support.
Each of us has a unique history of what we have been exposed thus our immune systems are at different levels of effectiveness. Some have been overloaded with heavy metals while others have residual pharmaceuticals playing a role in impacting the immune system. Some have inhaled agricultural chemicals for years.
I do not expect these supplements to eliminate the possibility of contracting the flu. However, boosting the immune system has been shown to minimize the flu’s impact in our household. As one of my friends who practiced medicine for over 40 years says, “The body is designed to heal itself.” Our job is to provide the nutrition to encourage the healing and resistance to viral invasion. If you decide to purchase these products, Im-Comp is a 30 day supply for an individual. We takes ours in the morning and in the evening. We take a Vitamin D3 softgel (60 softgels per bottle) in the evening with the Im-Comp. This seems to work well for us.
Our supplement regimen has worked well based on recent physicals we both had. My wife had an ultrasound on her carotid artery to see if any plaque was accumulating. Good news, it wasn’t. The flax oil capsules (CN5079) we’ve been taking for years promote healthy veins and arteries. Our HDL and LDL readings were excellent. It never hurts to verify your regimen.
