There has been a lot of talk in the office about the coronavirus. Let me rephrase that. The coronavirus is all we talk about. I understand the upset and fear. We ask patients to do their due diligence and wash their hands, sanitize surfaces, don't touch their face etc. AND let the fear go. Stress will lower the immune system and we don't want that. Stress management and boosting the immune system with the right supplements is important and at Healing Arts we are doing just that. Testing each one of our patients for the right immune support is crucial right now. Every program looks different but to give you an idea of the main supplements that we are seeing people test for are Standard Process's Antronex, Immuplex, and Healing Arts own Wellness Blend.
I created this supplement in 2018 because I wanted one supplement that boosted the immune system and killed everything. I wanted an antiviral, anti-parasitic, anti-fungal and antibiotic all in one. Patients were coming to the office not feeling well and I would have to give them 4 or 5 new supplements to help their immune system and it was just too much. Wellness Blend kills everything because it has kyolic garlic, liposomal vitamin C, mugwort, echinacea, oregano, lysine, eucalyptus, beta glucan and goldenseal.
In China they are using IV vitamin C to treat coronavirus patients and NYC hospitals started including vitamin C last week.
| Dr. Andrew G. Weber, a pulmonologist in NYC, has been giving his intensive-care patients who have been infected with the coronavirus 1500mg of intravenous Vitamin C several times a day - anywhere from 4500 to 6000mg in total - as part of an anti-viral protocol. Compared to the daily recommended allowance of Vitamin C - 90mg for men and 75mg for women - 6000mg is a massive dose. |
Nearly all of the Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) supplements you see at the supermarket or a drugstore are chemically synthesized, meaning that they are not food-derived. Synthetic Vitamin C is created in a process involving cornstarch and volatile acids. Natural Vitamin C is more complex and contains plant compounds like rutin, bioflavonoids, Factor K, Factor J, Factor P, tyrosinase, and ascorbinogen. While both forms of Vitamin C provide health benefits, depending on the dosage, less than 50% of the synthetic Vitamin C is actually absorbed by the body. The rest is eliminated when you urinate, creating the bright yellow urine which you see in the toilet. Natural, food-derived Vitamin C, on the other hand, is absorbed in its entirety, assisted by the micro- and macronutrients which are co-factors for the absorption of Vitamin C. Vitamin C occurs in a wide variety of foods, but most notably in:
Garlic kills everything! It is an anti-parasitic, antiviral, anti-fungal, and antibacterial. The reason I use kyolic garlic is because it's aged and loses it's odor and harshness that sometimes you find with other garlic supplements. If you want to use garlic cloves medicinally and if you can handle it, chew a raw garlic clove a day with food already in your stomach. You can also take garlic in a tonic (here's my immune boosting tonic recipe you can make at home). Cooked garlic loses it's medicinal value. One study found that as little as 60 seconds of microwaving or 45 minutes in the oven can deactivate the medicinal properties of garlic. However, it was noted that crushing garlic and allowing it to stand for 10 minutes before cooking can help prevent the loss of its medicinal properties. The loss of health benefits due to cooking could be compensated for by increasing the amount of garlic used.

- Crush or slice all your garlic before you eat it.
- Before you cook with your crushed garlic, let it stand for 10 minutes.
- Use a lot of garlic — more than one clove per meal, if you can.
| Mugwort is added into the Wellness Blend not as an immune booster but as a liver tonic. If the liver is healthy then toxins won't build up. Keep the body detoxed is important to keep the body healthy. Echinacea not only supports the immune system, it also has been proven to reduce the severity and duration of viral infections. Oregano is a very good antibacterial and is supports the lungs so it's good for any illness with a cough, bronchitis and asthma. Lysine is an amino acid that is anti-viral. L-lysine works by helping to increase the number of antibodies called IgG. IgG antibodies fight infection, the more we have, the stronger our immune system is. Studies have found that when lysine and vitamin C are used together, the levels of these antibodies in the blood rises even more. Eucalyptus leaves and oil have been used for generations as a cure-all for respiratory issues, particularly in removing excess phlegm and mucus from the sinuses and respiratory tracts. Eucalyptus is specifically good at killing bacteria and candida. Beta glucan is a soluble fiber that not only boosts the immune system but also is good at lowering cholesterol and improving blood sugar management which is needed for diabetes and pre-diabitc situations. Goldenseal is also used for the common cold and other upper respiratory tract infections, as well as stuffy nose and hay fever. Goldenseal is also really good at killing parasites and for helping digestive disorders including stomach pain and swelling (gastritis), peptic ulcers, colitis, diarrhea, constipation, hemorrhoids, and intestinal gas. So as you can tell Wellness Blend has a great variety of different herbs to help with all germs when sick, average dose is 3 a day and as a preventative, take 1 a day. To order, click here.
