Autoimmune Disorders

Hello Reader,

Autoimmune illnesses are a major trigger for fibromyalgia. For example, about 1/3 of people with rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, and Multiple Sclerosis develop a secondary fibromyalgia.

Like fibromyalgia, many of these autoimmune conditions were once historically quite rare, but are now skyrocketing — activated by nutritional deficiencies, decreased sleep, and the overall challenges of the modern world.

Fortunately, there is so much that we can do to support healthy immunity.

Do you or a loved one have an autoimmune condition?

Vitamin D Lowers Risk of Long COVID by 65%

Vitamn D Foods

A new study looked at 132 people who had COVID. Those who had been taking vitamin D supplements had a 50% lower risk of developing Long COVID. The optimal dose seemed to be about 1,000 units a day, which was associated with a 65% reduced risk. 1,000 units is the amount of vitamin D in the Energy Revitalization Drink Mix multinutrient, which I recommend as the best supplement for overall health.
