Re: Need an Immune Booster... anyone????

[Guest guest]

Trish,

If you look in the files section the Viral file has some immune

boosters listed. The file needs updating and doesn't include

Epicor, which is supposed to be an immune modulator. I have my DS

and DH on it. DH has been on IV antibiotics for the majority of the

last 3 weeks and is basically incapacitated. He falls sick at the

drop of a hat under normal conditions. Miraculously, he hasn't

fallen sick during this time although he cannot have a single

friendly bacteria left in his body. This may be because of the

Epicor because I sincerely doubt it is good luck, at this point.

Epicor seems expensive, but you take only one a day. Others on the

list in the viral file are probably much easier to get hold of at a

HFS.

HTH,

Anita

Aw, that's no good. Glad the Epicor is working for him though.

How many mercury amalgam dental fillings does he have?

Oh no... We just completed a one-month round of Cipro for my son's bad

gut bacteria. I had no idea Cipro was so bad and I guess my DAN doc

didn't either. Sigh. Well I guess it's too late now :-( Ds has

actually shown a lot of improvements in the last month though. I

didn't see anything really nasty behaviorally except some

yeast-related stuff that subsided with GSE. I hope we got lucky

somehow and avoided any serious damage.... I have noticed the last

few weeks that ds has a slight yellow tinge to his skin, I wonder if

the Cipro pushed his liver over the edge. Guess we better run some

liver tests.

It also contains ALA.

I used colostrum, astralagus root, vitamin C, for immune boosters.

Vitamin A is also good, altho my son was fully loaded at the time I

was addressing his immune system. Then I used OLE and Virastop as

anti-virals.

Try coconut oil. It is a food, readily available, wholly natural, and

if you buy the expeller pressed then unlike the organic has not taste

or odor. We use it anywhere a fat is needed in cooking and our family

of five has had about 80% fewer colds the last couple of years. It is

known to fight viruses, bacteria, and fungi.
