Herbal and Nutritional Support

Cordyceps for Immune Health

Cordyceps-M, known as Yong Chong Cao in Chinese Medicine, has long been used for athletic performance and recovery, as well as lung, kidney and adrenal health. It is sweet and warm and has an affinity for both the Lung and Kidney channels. Cordyceps-M supports healthy mitochondrial, immune and microbiome function, and is an excellent source of Beta-Glucans, Ergosterols and Nucleosides.

Research shows Cordyceps acts as a bidirectional modulator, helping to balance both the innate and adaptive immune responses. It also has a protective effect on the kidneys and liver, shows anti-tumor activity, and can decrease fasting glucose levels. Research can be found here: Immunomodulation Benefits of Cordyceps

A pure source of Cordyceps-M and many other medicinal mushrooms for both humans and animals can be found at Real Mushrooms.

Zinc, D3+K2 and Gut Health

The GI tract contains 70 – 80% of the immune system, where microbiota, mucosal immunity and epithelial barriers collaborate to provide robust defense through the gut-immune and gut-lung axis. Environmental stressors, microbial exposures and seasonal shifts can overwhelm the system causing respiratory and systemic discomfort that erodes the quality of life.

Clinically studied interventions including immunobiotics, spore-based probiotics, serum derived bovine immunoglobulins and targeted nutrients such as Zinc, D3 and K2 can bolster the gut-organ axes by enhancing mucosal barriers, promoting antibody production and fostering beneficial bacteria that regulate immune activity. Protocols for short-term and long term immune and upper respiratory tract support and seasonal support can be found on Fullscript here: 14 Day Rapid Response Regimen

Long Term & Seasonal Immune Support

Augmented NAC

Detoxing from spike proteins, whether taken in from an injection, shedding from a vaccinated individual, or from having the COVID infection itself is extremely important for supporting proper immune response. A-NAC also supports liver function and boosts glutathione production. Please watch this brief video for very important information: Spikeopathy and Immune Function.
