Additional Natural Immune Support
V. Slama, that contains Echinamide with extracts of
astragalus, reishi mushroom, lomatium and licorice
root. In addition to enhancing immune function, these
additional herbs all have demonstrated antiviral
activity. In Canada, the product is called Anti-Viral
Formula while in the US it is called “Anti-V”.
Does a person’s mood or attitude affect immune function
Our mood and attitude have a tremendous bearing on
the function of our immune system. The bottom line is
that when we are happy and optimistic, our immune
system functions much better. Conversely, when we are
depressed, our immune system tends to be depressed.
When a person is under more stress or is depressed,
they will need to make a conscious effort to boost their
immune system—that includes taking their supplements.
It is not only major life stresses that can cause
depressed immune function, but the more significant
the stressor the greater the impact on the immune
system. Negative emotions suppress immune function
while positive emotions enhance immune function. In
my clinical practice, whenever a patient is suffering
from low immune function I will ask them who their
favorite comedian is and then write a prescription for
them to watch a movie or TV show that features that
comedian.
