Back to School - Immune Ready

Cell Wellbeing, Detoxification, NutrientsKaren SmithComment

There's back-to-school getting ready, shopping, clothes, school supplies getting to bed earlier. However, is your and/or your child's Immune System ready? 

As parents, you probably are so ready to send your progeny back to school to learn to do great things! 

They might be just as eager to get back to see their friends. You stock up on all the essentials, or do you really? The first week of school hits and your kiddos are coming home with the sniffles, sore throats, colds, pink eye, the flu, respiratory viruses, etc. Next thing you know the whole household is down for the count.

Does that mean time missed from work, looking after the sick ones?  Maybe you too are now hacking, sneezing and wheezing! 

Nursing a child that is frequently sick can be so frustrating and school environments can be a hot bed of germs and close contact with other children, shared toys, and common surfaces sadly promote the easy spread of infections.

Children’s immune systems are still development mode learning to recognize and fight off different pathogens. Therefore they can be more susceptible to infections, especially when exposed to new germs at school.

Your child may also have undiagnosed environmental allergies. Allergens in schools, such as dust, mold, or pollen, can cause respiratory issues that mimic cold symptoms. These allergic reactions may make children more susceptible to actual viral infections. This can be also true for adults, teachers, TA's, admin staff. 

People are sometimes of the mindset that this is just par for the course of returning to school. It does not have to be that way though. You can bulid your natural immune system up, as well as your child's.

Vitamin C

Nutrients, Traditional Medicine, Alternative MedicineKaren SmithComment

Vitamin C is a water soluble Vitamin and it is is essential, meaning the human body does not produce it. We have to get it from foods that we eat. Great sources are Papaya, Pineapple, Oranges, Strawberries, Acerola Cherries, Rosehips, Cantaloupe, Broccoli, Brussel Sprouts. Kale, Kiwi, Sweet Yellow Peppers, Thyme and others.

Anti-oxidants help the immune system and they help the body deactivate free radicals in your body that can cause oxidative stress.

Vitamin C is also anti-inflammatory and that action is what seems to be helping people who have been giving high doses of IV Vitamin C with COVID-19. Intravenous Vitamin C is the most effective form of Vitamin C delivery and has been a therapeutic mode of delivering Vitamin C. It can only be done by Medical Doctors and Naturopathic Doctors. Below I share a link of other forms of Vitamin C and optimal dosing.

Vitamin C deficiency can be found in people with an overall poor diet, with kidney disease who get dialysis, heavy drinkers, and smokers. A smoker will need an extra 35 milligrams of vitamin C per day to help repair the damage caused by free radicals that form when you smoke.

Here is a research study done in New Zealand and it concluded that

Vitamin C appears to be able to both prevent and treat respiratory and systemic infections by enhancing various immune cell functions. Prophylactic prevention of infection requires dietary vitamin C intakes that provide at least adequate, if not saturating plasma levels (i.e., 100–200 mg/day), which optimize cell and tissue levels. In contrast, treatment of established infections requires significantly higher (gram) doses of the vitamin to compensate for the increased metabolic demand.

Some time a go, I shared a study done about Diabetic patients with poor wound healing who were treated with higher doses of Vitamin C and their wounds actually healed and healed quicker. The article talked about the fact that Diabetics are routinely advised to cut down their sugar intake and unfortunately that also includes fruits high in Vitamin C. When I find it I will post here. Even the above article addresses wound healing.

Reports of people that are more susceptible to Critical complications of COVID-19 are Smokers, those with heart disease, hypertension, diabetes, other chronic respiratory diseases, cancer) Smokers and Diabetics are more likely to be deficient in Vitamin C. Vitamin C supplementation has also been linked to a reduced risk of heart disease helping to lower high blood levels of LDL (bad) cholesterol and triglycerides. Many combination Cardio Supplement formulas do contain Vitamin C. The heart combination formulas that I sell are RTRE, and Healthy Heart Plus.
