How to avoid catching the "crud" this winter...
(It is quite simple.)
Every winter, I see numerous people in my office for flu/cold related symptoms. (Actually, since Covid, I don't actually "see" them in the office anymore, but we do a lot of talking on the phone!)
And after 25 years in practice, I have found a pretty great formula to help you avoid the "crud."
I wanted to send this email as a "heads up" on how to easily stay healthy this winter.
Here are our current Immune Support Suggestions:
For prevention (for adults):
Vitamin D – unless directed otherwise, 5000 IUs a day. (However, the optimal approach to dosing requires blood testing of your Vitamin D level.)
Food-Based Vitamin C – 2 a day
Zinc – 30-40 mg a day
NAC (N-Acetyl Cysteine) – 1 a day
If you THINK you are starting to get sick (don’t wait until you are really sick)—get going quickly on the following:
Total V-RX* – 2-12 a day. (More is better.)
Vitamin C – 4-12 a day. (Food-based Vitamin C will not have a laxative effect as ascorbic acid will. I only recommend food-based Vitamin C)
Increase Zinc to 50-100 mg a day
Increase Vitamin D to 10,000 for a couple of days
Quercetin 250mg twice a day
NAC -- 2-3 a day
Magnesium – 500 mg or more
All of these doses should be distributed throughout the day.
When you are feeling better, decrease the above doses, but don’t stop. Instead, continue taking all for at least the next week.

These are not long-term strategies. These are general guidelines for immune system support for the flu/cold season.
