Viral season has arrived!
Boulder Integrative Health has some recommendations for protecting yourself during this time, as well as therapeutic interventions that may help you lessen symptoms, severity and duration if you do get sick.
Basics Protection Recommendations
Wash hands for 20 seconds
Don't touch your face or eyes
Getting 8 hours sleep each night
Hydrate with half your bodyweight in ounces every day
Keep stress low and rebalance stress response with Vagal Nerve exercises
Eat 8-10 servings of vegetables each day
Eat the color of the rainbow each day
Eat 2-3 servings of low-glycemic fruit (such as grapefruit and strawberries for Vitamin C support)
Consume 35-50 grams of fiber each day
Practice Hydrotherapy (alternating hot/cold showers and cold plunges if you can)
Get 15 minutes of unprotected sunlight a day (best on arms / legs)
Additional Supportive Tools
Prevention of viral infections
Intravenous Vitamin C therapies 10-20 grams weekly can be supportive in prevention. More info on our website: https://www.ivboulder.com/vitaminctherapies
Antiseptic mouthwash twice per day
Nasal passage protection
Colloidal Silver "Argentyn 23" 1 spray to each nostril before exposures

Poly-Resveratrol 2 caps daily

Active Infection Support
GET AND IV ASAP! We strongly recommend that the first thing you do is book an IV (online portal or call) for an IV Vitamin C 25 gram!!! The sooner the better! Vitamin C may help the virus from slowing its replication.
Considering coming to our "Shot Bar" and get a Vitamin D3 IM injection of 100,000 IU (best 2 days in a row to get levels optimal to boost immunity)
Continue with nasal support 2-3 x day
Continue with mouthwashes
Active Infection Supplemental Recommendations
Continue with the Vitamin C support 3000-6000 mg day depending on bowel tolerance (Vitamin C and Elderberry liposomal)
Vitamin D3 5,000 IU's daily *caution to take high doses of Vit D without knowing blood levels over time
Del-Immune V DEFENSE- lactobacillus rhamnosus, which is a specific probiotic strain to boost natural immune response and it's amazing! 600 mg daily
OrthoMune (Vitamin C, Vitamin D, Zinc, Quercetin) 2 caps 2x/day
Melatonin CR 5-10 mg daily at bedtime for immune and inflammatory support
Probiotics broad spectrum 100 billion daily (Ortho Biotic 100) because taking extra probiotics will help boost your microbiome for optional immunity
If SARS/CoV-2 positive we have additional supplements to recommend that may be helpful
We know this virus specifically attacks the vascular system and clotting risk is associated, therefore we have made additional recommendations
Nattokinase (an enzyme from Japanese fermented soybeans) or baby aspirin to keep the blood thinned
Turmeric "Turiva" or similar to help reduce inflammation
Arterosil (a Japanese seaweed "Monostroma Nitidum" extract) which is endothelial glycocalyx support to help keep vessels healthy
NONE OF THE ABOVE RECOMMENDATIONS ARE FDA APPROVED TREATMENTS AND WE ARE NOT MAKING ANY CLAIMS THAT THEY ARE TREATMENTS.
If active SarsCov2, there is the Paxlovid medication that is FDA approved and is now available, so call office to book appt with Carrie for the prescription (must be within the first 5 days of symptom onset)
RECOMMENDATION: Keep track of your oxygen with a pulse oximeter. You need to stay above 90. If you fall below, get chest pain/shortness of breath or start to run a fever, please reach out to your PCP or nearest Urgent Care facility.
