As every news outlet carries 24/7 coverage of the swine flu, you've no doubt become aware of the symptoms associated with it and how quick it can spread. There are reports that a vaccine is in the works, and speculation is it won't be ready for several months. To understand the vaccine, you must first understand the flu. Genetic material within the influenza virus constantly mutates, and by the time a vaccine has been created for a certain strain of the virus, the virus itself has already mutated into a different strain. Despite this continuous game of catch up, there are several preventative measures we provide our patients to maintain a healthy immune system to resist the flu virus:
- Vitamin and Mineral IV therapies
- Homeopathic Virus Treatments- remedies to aide our defense system that combat viral and bacterial infections.
- Proper diet- to keep blood sugars stable and incorporate foods that support a healthy immune function.
- Exercise- 20-30 minutes a day stimulates the immune system.
- Rest/Sleep- 7-8 hours a day is required for proper rejuvination
- Proper Hygiene- regularly wash your hands under warm water at least 30 seconds.
- Osteopathic Manipulation and Lymphatic Massage have been researched and published as powerful modalities to boost the immune system.
If you have questions regarding the flu and preventative treatments available, call us at 562.795.5180. Ask about our special Flu IV only $50.
In addition, we hope you can join us at the clinic on Wed., May 20th at 6 pm as our monthly workshop topic will focus on Supporting a Healthy Immune System. We will have multiple speakers covering several aspects on this topic, see you there.
