How to Boost the Immune System and Avoid the Flu Now

If you’ve watched the news lately, you know we’re facing one of the worst flu epidemics in recent years. And it’s not over yet! According to the CDC, the U.S. flu season typically peaks between December and February and can run as late as May.

In addition, the flu is a highly contagious and sometimes deadly disease that can be transmitted days before an infected person notices any symptoms.

Fortunately, there are steps you can take to reduce the risk of getting sick and having to deal with the miserable symptoms that accompany the flu (fever, chills, dehydration, body aches, headaches, cough, congestion, runny nose and fatigue).

10 Simple Precautions To Take Now

• Wash hands. Wash hands. Wash hands
• Wipe down grocery carts handles with sanitizer wipes
• Arm yourself with hand sanitizer in the event hand washing isn’t an option
• Avoid touching your face – nose, eyes, mouth – if you’ve been out in public, until you can wash hands
• Stay away from sick people when you can
• If you get sick, STAY HOME
• Stay hydrated and get 7-8 hours of sleep nightly
• Increase vitamin D intake to 10,000 iu/day and 50,000 iu/day for three days if you’ve been exposed
• Increase vitamin C intake to 2,000-4,000 mg/day (50-100mg/day)

The Myers’ Cocktail is a vitamin and nutrient supplement delivered intravenously to treat a variety of ailments and increase energy. Developed by Baltimore physician John Myers, MD, more than 30 years ago, the Myers’ Cocktail protocol was recently modified by Alan R. Gaby, MD, and president of the American Holistic Medical Association.

The Myers’ Cocktail has been used to help improve athletic performance and treat thousands of patients who suffer with:

• Acute asthma attacks
• Migraines
• Fatigue
• Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
• Fibromyalgia
• Leaky gut
• Acute muscle spasm
• Upper respiratory tract infections
• Chronic sinusitis
• Seasonal allergies
• Cardiovascular disease and more

The Immune Boost IV (enhanced Myers’ Cocktail) includes all of the ingredients of the Myers’ Cocktail IV – vitamin B complex 100, vitamin C, magnesium, vitamin B5 (dexpanthenol), calcium (calcium gluconate), vitamin B12 (hydroxocobalamin), vitamin B6 (pyridoxine hydrochloride) with the addition of some key ingredients to enhance the immune boosting power.

The trace minerals zinc sulfate, magnesium sulfate, chromium chloride, selenium and a higher dose of vitamin C are all included in the Immune Boost IV.

Why IV treatments are more effective than oral supplements

Like the Myers’ Cocktail, the Immune Boost IV works by increasing the blood concentration of several essential vitamins and minerals beyond what can be absorbed with oral supplementation.

Many illnesses and conditions are associated with digestive disturbances such as bloating, indigestion and food sensitivities. People with such conditions may not absorb all of the nutrients they need through the stomach in order to obtain optimal health.

The top five reasons to get an Immune Boost IV

What do stress, pain, IBS and belly fat have in common? Leaky gut. It’s worth learning more about this condition and the treatments available, because it causes a whole host of health problems.

Leaky gut is tied to aging, stress, infections, as well as certain foods and toxins you consume. If leaks occur in the intestinal lining – i.e., your gut is leaky – toxins, microbes or undigested food particles can travel into the bloodstream. The immune system marks these “foreign invaders” as pathogens and attacks them, which causes them to present in the form of an immune response.

Nine signs you may have leaky gut. You may be suffering from leaky gut if you have any of the following symptoms or conditions:

• You work in a highly viral environment, such as public places, schools, daycares or medical facilities.
• You travel on airplanes
• You were exposed to someone with a viral illness.
• You have a weak immune system (get sick easily).
• You suffer from chronic pain, fibromyalgia or another condition that adds stress to the body.

What to expect with IV therapy (Myers’ Cocktail or Immune Boost IV)

Side effects are rare and typically limited to local irritation at the injection site. The treatments may be given 1-2 times per week and the beneficial effects are typically felt after the fourth visit. People with chronic conditions may choose to continue the infusions every 1-4 weeks or when they feel their energy slipping.
