Boulder Integrative Health has some recommendations for protecting yourself during this time, as well as therapeutic interventions that may help you lessen symptoms, severity, and duration if you do get sick.
Basics Protection Recommendations
Wash hands for 20 seconds
Don't touch your face or eyes
Get 8 hours sleep each night
Hydrate with half your bodyweight in ounces every day
Keep stress low, and rebalance stress response with Vagal Nerve exercises
Eat 8 to 10 servings of vegetables each day
Eat the color of the rainbow each day
Eat 2-3 servings of low-glycemic fruit (such as grapefruit and strawberries for Vitamin C support)
Consume 35 to 50 grams of fiber each day
Practice Hydrotherapy (alternating hot/cold showers and cold plunges if you can)
Get 15 minutes of unprotected sunlight a day (best on arms/legs)
Additional Supportive Tools
Prevention of viral infections
Intravenous Vitamin C therapies 10 to 20 grams weekly can be supportive in prevention. For more information please visit IV Boulder.
Use an antiseptic mouthwash twice per day
Use a nasal passage protection like Colloidal Silver "Argentyn 23", 1 spray to each nostril before exposures; Povidone/Iodine "CofixRX Nasal Spray", or make your own: pour 1 1/2 tablespoons of 10% povidone-iodine solution into a 250ml nasal irrigation bottle, fill bottle to top with distilled, sterile, or previously boiled and cooled water; tilt head back and apply 4-5 drops to each nostril and keep head tilted a few more minutes.
Prevention Supplementation BIH has a prevention package below
Del-Immune 100 mg daily
Melatonin CR (Xymogen or similar) 5-10mg nightly
OrthoMune (Vitamin C, D, Zinc, N-Acetyl L Cysteine, Quercetin), 2 caps daily
Poly-Resveratrol 2 caps daily
Vitamin C 1000 to 3000 mg daily (various forms/brands)
Active Infection Support
GET AND IV ASAP! We strongly recommend that the first thing you do is book an IV (online portal or call) for an IV Vitamin C 25 gram!!! The sooner the better! Vitamin C may help the virus from slowing its replication.
Considering coming to our "Shot Bar" and get a Vitamin D3 IM injection of 100,000 IU (best 2 days in a row to get levels optimal to boost immunity)
Continue with nasal support 2 to 3x/day
Continue with mouthwashes
Active Infection Supplemental Recommendations
Continue with the Vitamin C support 3000 to 6000 mg day depending on bowel tolerance (Vitamin C and Elderberry liposomal)
Vitamin D3 5,000 IU's daily *caution to take high doses of Vit D without knowing blood levels over time
Del-Immune V DEFENSE- lactobacillus rhamnosus, which is a specific probiotic strain to boost natural immune response and it's amazing! 600 mg daily
OrthoMune (Vitamin C, Vitamin D, Zinc, Quercetin) 2 caps, 2x/day
Melatonin CR 5 mg to 10 mg daily at bedtime for immune and inflammatory support
Probiotics broad spectrum 100 billion daily (Ortho Biotic 100) because taking extra probiotics will help boost your microbiome for optional immunity
If SARS/CoV-2 positive, we have additional supplements to recommend that may be helpful.
We know this virus specifically attacks the vascular system and clotting risk is associated, therefore we have made additional recommendations
Nattokinase (an enzyme from Japanese fermented soybeans), or baby aspirin to keep the blood thinned.
Turmeric "Turiva" or similar to help reduce inflammation.
Arterosil (a Japanese seaweed "Monostroma Nitidum" extract) which is endothelial glycocalyx support to help keep vessels healthy.
NONE OF THE ABOVE RECOMMENDATIONS ARE FDA APPROVED TREATMENTS AND WE ARE NOT MAKING ANY CLAIMS THAT THEY ARE TREATMENTS.
If active SarsCov2, there is the Paxlovid medication that is FDA approved and is now available. Please call Boulder Integrative Health to book an appointment with Carrie for the prescription (must be within the first 5 days of symptom onset).
RECOMMENDATION: Keep track of your oxygen with a pulse oximeter. You need to stay above 90. If you fall below, get chest pain/shortness of breath or start to run a fever, please reach out to your PCP or nearest Urgent Care facility.
