Dear Friends,I hope this start to 2025 finds you healthy and well, but if you or anyone you care about has been struggling with getting sick this winter, I’ve got good news: It doesn’t have to be this bad.Sometimes I meet people who say things like, “I just get sick for several weeks each winter; it’s been that way for years”, or “I’m just getting over my annual flu.” Friends, there is a better path: Let’s get your immune system in top shape… I have written before about how to prevent and treat COVID, specifically, so I won’t belabor those points here. Rather, my goal here is to give you the most potent advice for proactively creating a strong immune system that will work against any bug or virus. And the best part is I will show you how to do this for only about $40 a month.With these simple, safe, and affordable measures, you can kiss illness goodbye (or at least make short work of it :)The “Letter Vitamins”: B, C, D, and zincAll these have vital roles in your immune system. The doses below are for prevention (if actively sick, double them):* High Potency B complex: 1 a day (favorite brand here)* Vitamin C: 500 mg 2x a day (we carry a 1,000 mg brand here) * Vitamin D/K: between 4,000-10,000 units 1x a day (depending on your blood level, with goal blood level at 70-100). (favorite brand here)* Zinc: 30-50 mg 1x a day (favorite brand here) Aged GarlicAged garlic potently stimulates T cell and Natural Killer cell function (read here).
