Re: Immune boosting foods & supplements?

[Guest guest]

Allie,

My #1 recommendation right now is the Immusist....have you tried it yet? It can

help with both increasing immunity & extra energy )

They have the new Natural one now:

http://immusist.com/ordering.html

A bottle lasts a long time for our kids....

With starting at 1-2 drops 2x day protocol-at 2 drops 2x a day the

bottle will last 360 days/12 months. Once you build to 4 drops 2x day (8 drops)

the bottle will last for 180 days (6 months)...that's about $20 a month for the

Natural product....

Blessings to you!!

Grrr...just ordered two bottles of the colored stuff. My son starts hitting on

one drop. Don't know if it is from die-off or the colors.

J,

I'm checking to see if we can somehow swap yours out w/the new Natural....I told

him I'd even buy out your open bottle cause we do fine w/it.....I'll let you

know off-list in the next couple of days after I've talked w/him further.

Let's see if we can't help you figure this out.

Blessings,

Rita

Vitamin D3. My wife takes 10,000 IU a day I use 5,000 IU myself and I am

normally healthy.

D3 is very important for immune system functioning. We use KAL Ultra D3,

there are other makers too.

I bet you know someone who has Chronic Lyme and doesn't realize it yet!

Yes, tried the Immusist this year, my son started hitting a lot while taking it

as well.

Too much is going on right now, I cannot put him thru anything that stirs him

up.

Been on the Vit D 3 for years along with regular antiox's, vitamins, probiotics,

etc..

So maybe enough is in place for now, until my son gets off this medication to

lower his

thyroid levels.

Thanks everyone

Allie

Allie,

Adding CoQ10 and Acetyl- carnitine to my son's diet made a huge different to his

energy levels.

WE did the OAT test and the oxidative stress levels were high and those two

supplements as well as transdermal NAC were recommend and since using them he

has more energy.

You need to amke sure that COQ10 is disolved in fat(fish oil, coconut oil or

butter) for better absortion.

He has been taking CoQ10 for a long time but I never disolved it in fat until

now and I can tell that is making a difference.

Allie,

I'm feeling you down right now with these tough things right now...

I just went on my knees & prayed for you & your precious son...the pain of what

we deal with sometimes just paralyses us...what we need the most is a friend to

lift us up...

prayed for you & your son...healing, strength & endurance

prayed for you, wisdom, knowledge beyond yourself as to what you're to do...

just feel I need to lift you up (there are a couple off-list I am also doing

this for....I feel this is the most important things we do for each other in

times like this....even @ 1p after finishing the off-list e-mails last night I

put my knees to the floor asking us for healing & help).

Blessings my friend,

Rita

Allie,

I did have very bad thyroid issues and that caused me to have low energy levels,

but since I have been taking one capsule daily of Dr. Ron dessecated thyroid my

thyroid balanced and my energy levels improved a lot.

My doctor gave me Levothyroxin and it made me very sick " couldn't sleep as it

gave me too much energy " and when she lowered the dose I felt so bad and all I

wanted to do was to be in bed all day "

But the dessecated thyroid has been a blessing to me as well as going on a low

oxalate diet plus high doses of biotin, minerals, vitamin E, Coq10, B complex

and fish oil.

It is so hard to try to find an answer to our health issues but only by trying

different alternative treatments is that we have been able to balance our health

issues.

Sometimes our doctor made recommendations that made us more sick and it was up

to me to research and make changes in our supplement intake and doses, so using

common sense and gut feeling has helped me to address many of our health issues

that the doctor couldn't.

This is just my experience.

So I best explain the thyroid issue at hand.

Its not Hypothyroid, it's " Hyperthyroid.

Which in this case was due to his body hanging on to iodine. Loads of iodine!

It was a serious issue that looked like Thyroid storm, landed in the ER, meds

to slow his heart rate down, and then bring levels of the thryoid down.

I don't know how he did not have a heart attack or stroke from this, but my son

must be healthier than his labs show. And thankfully I let him eat as much as

he was wanting, because he was burning up calories so fast, he had to eat

nonstop for about a month, and still lost a lot of weight.

Its taking months, to reverse this; still working on it.

Sometimes the cure can be as bad as the illness. Meaning the medicine he is on,

lowers your immunity. And already have lyme isssues that need to be addressed,

but put on hold for this thyroid issue. I am super concern about his immunity

being more surpressed than it already was before the thyroid issue came into

play.

There have been too many hits this year with other medical issues, that its

taken its toll on a very sensitive boy, but a strong spirit.

The good news is this will not last forever, as its not Graves Disease ( which I

feared at first). And we are soon approaching a new year, with new beginnings.

All this will be a learning lesson for me to understanding more about the

thyroid.

Thank you, Rita for your kind words, and prayers! You are a jewel.

Allie

PS if your child gets their tonsils taken out, be sure to test their thyroid

levels - say a month or so afterwards, even 3 months afterwards. Its still a

mystery...
