GEOFF GARLINGE

Q: “What’s the best thing to take to strengthen my Immune System?” A: Undoubtedly this is now the most asked question by far, since it has become common knowledge & especially now with the Omicron variant taking hold that regardless of our vaccination status, anyone can possibly catch as well as transmit COVID-19. The associated fear & anxiety has fuelled valid concerns towards optimising Health & wellbeing in order to position ourselves to be in the best place to fight infection & disease. Irrespective of a pandemic being declared, this should always be the case -- if only commonsense was commonplace in our high tech, yet very unhealthy world. Thepopularstandardanswer recommended and endorsed by many GPs, Pharmacists & Natural Health Practitioners is *Vitamin C *Quercetin *Zinc *Vitamin D *Selenium And while logically in correct dosages these are certainly all fine in themselves, they are clearly not however representative of any “magic silver bullet”. Furthermore, the best ways to ingest these are: * Vitamin C in well tolerated gentle buffered Ascorbate form (Interclinical Professional C Plus is also very good for those choosing to take capsules) together with Propolis synergistically delivers enhanced bioavailability + substantial Quercetin. So with plenty of clean fruit & veg including raw onions, 100% Pure Cherry Juice + quality Maqui Berry Powder, there’s certainly no reason to take any extra Quercetin. * Bee Pollen is rich in Zinc as well as being a Natural storehouse, boasting a potent array of additional nutrients and elements to energise, balance & strengthen the body. Enjoying a daily handful of Pepita Kernels (raw or popped in Coconut/Olive Oil) again means there is no need to take more Zinc. Same goes for NAC supplementation not being necessary, once building up to 2 x 1 tbspn BP morning & night + 2 x 1 tspn L-Glutamine along with that which will be derived from various good dietary choices. * Selenium is easily derived from Brazil Nuts (drops are also fine) + Dr Sandra Cabot’s Livatone Plus formula provides a great boost to assist the liver in its well over 500 functions that cascade in the body to maintain optimal Health. Everyone will do well to keep in mind that in relation to priorities, our liver is 2nd only to the brain in order to best achieve and maintain Health & Wellbeing. This advice is definitely all sound. Nevertheless considering the far-reaching ramifications of potential severe illness, basic wise lifestyle principles/choices that should be ordinarily implemented still lack many attributes of the following Natural “heavy artillery” required to fight the good fight in the battle for optimal health & wellbeing...

LACTOFERRIN This

• Immune Reviver contains 5 of the most valuable and potent genuine Medicinal mushrooms - Cordyceps sinensis, Ganoderma lucidum, Trametes versicolor, Lentinula edodes and Wolfiporia cocos.

IMMUNE REVIVER Immune Reviver is indisputably the ultimate Herbal immune support formula. The patented formulation is backed by scientific evidence that has verified the synergistic components’ ability to specifically support the immune system. Developed by G & W AUST P/L, a research based Australian company established in 1996 that focuses on integrative research spearheaded by Dr G Hu, PhD in Medicine of Sydney University, Immune Reviver is 100% unique. • The herbs in this formula have traditionally been employed therapeutically for their tonic effects. Extensive research has demonstrated the main active components of these herbs help maintain normal healthy immune and digestive function, nourish the liver, reinforce vital energy, improve general weakness and assist recovery after illness. • "Medicinal" Mushrooms are well known to be some of the most potent immune boosters, liver tonics and enhancers of general health. The most famous is Cordyceps, technically a Himalayan caterpillar fungus. Nevertheless it is indeed rare to ever source the genuine article. Monash University Professor Traude Beilharz headinguprecent researchintoCordyceps in Australia, has described the amazing fungus as a “bioactive treasure trove” that could help scientists consider different ways of developing future vaccines. Professor Beilharz further states “This discovery could be crucial in stimulating immunity and reducing the need for booster shots to maintain immunity“.
