Woman Coughing with Respiratory Infection

Hello Reader,

In recent newsletters, I discussed how to maintain a strong immune system to help protect against infections. I also talked about herbals that can help make your body inhospitable to chronic bugs such as EBV and antibiotic sensitive problems.

But a common problem I hear is “I catch every infection that comes around and it takes forever to go away.” Sound familiar? This is one of the reasons I discussed the importance of addressing adrenal fatigue, if present, to ensure your immune system can keep infections at bay.

Today I want to talk about three more herbs that can add support to your respiratory wellness, particularly during seasonal challenges when respiratory infections are running rampant.

My Recipe for Resisting Respiratory Infections

Here's what I take when I’m laid up with an acute respiratory bug:

  1. ViraPro™. This mix of elderberry and other key nutrients for immunde system support can be very helpful. I also take 1 twice a day whenever I'm traveling to help avoid catching infections.
  2. PleuraMax™. This unique mushroom extract shows incredible promise (1 capsule once or twice daily).
  3. Quercetin high absorption with vitamin C. These are two of the most important immune-supporting nutrients in the world (1 twice a day).

Tired of feeling like you're at the mercy of every bug that comes around? These are three great tools to have in your medicine cabinet toolbox. I take one, or even all, of these to help protect me when acute respiratory bugs are going around. The reason is straightforward. Taking them helps you maintain a strong immune system. A strong immune system is better prepared to resist catching a respiratory infection. So if you catch one, having taken these puts you in a better position to heal more quickly from the bug if you catch it.
