RE: Anyone using Epicor for immune support?

[Guest guest]

PJ,

We use it here. It has done a great deal for most of us. I can't take

it because it seems to make my allergies worse. Epicor has actually

helped my son's yeast, although if someone had a yeast allergy then of

course it could be a problem. Not sure about PANDAS as it isn't an

infection, but it would make strep infections in the future less

likely.

Sorry, my reply was a bit cryptic. I should have said, in my family

of five, it's helped four of us. I think it helps ds's yeast because

it boosts his immune system--the same reason that I don't seem to

benefit from it with my possibly overactive immune system.

Hi PJ. Our son used to be sick all of the time, he was like a sponge

for any illness he encountered in school. My husband and I also have

weak immune systems. Once we started chelation this fall, our son was

always getting congested and sick. We read here about Epicor by vrp

as a good immune supporter. I had the same concerns you did about the

yeast content as Candida is an issue with our child. I spoke to vrp,

and they said that it does not make Candida worse and in fact helps

the body fight off yeast infections. My son and I also take OLE on a

daily basis, in a fairly low dose. My husband does not.

I can report that since taking Epicor, there have been almost no

illnesses in our house. It is my belief that Epicor is in large part

responsible for this. Our DAN! doctor recently told us not to use

Epicor, because it stimulates the immune system. However, in our

family's case I think he is wrong, because we all have been healthier

since using it. If you have an overactive immune system like Anita,

then the Epicor can make allergies worse, if your immune system is

underperforming, then Epicor can help in terms of warding off illness.

Hope this helps.
