Dr. Crystal’s Personal Immune Boosting Protocol
Note: this is what I do and it’s customized to ME. Consult your trusted Naturopathic Doctor to set up an individualized protocol for your specific needs.
1. Vitamin C 1,000 twice a day
2. 1 TBS Elderberry Syrup twice a day
3. Propolis, Xylitol or silver based nasal spray twice a day- I rotate sprays to guard the nasal passages from bad-guy intruders
4. Propolis and/or Echinacea throat spray to guard the throat from germ intruders
5. Zinc/copper combo if my lab levels are low or I’ve been exposed to an illness
6. Fresh herbal teas from my garden- stinging nettles, holy basil, sage, thyme, oregano and rosemary get rotated- I love my stinging nettles!
7. Sleep!! Quality Sleep is everything for supporting the immune system. I utilize botanical nervines and cortisol reduction supports to support my sleep in perimenopause
8. Nutrition! As always, I aim for a whole food based diet high in plant color and low in sugar. If I’m exposed to an illness I completely cut cane sugar and reduce fruit sugars.
