Other than fish/flax oil, what are the immunomodulatory herbals and supplements?

I've read betacarotene and we have that on board, but unclear as to others.

Another one of those confusing real life cases.

I'm not at all sure what I think but the chicken pox and maybe other things

might have

stirred up her immune system. You might try some appropriate immunomodulatory

herbals and supplements, and some antiviral ones (e. g. elderberry extract,

which is a tasty

syrup) and put a hepa air filter in her room. Also get rid of anything moldy,

musty or

suspect.

Cordycepts, licorice, 1.3 beta glucans, echinacea and astragalus, inositol are

some.
