Concerned about your immune system (not just for COVID-19)? Read more.

Dear invisible illness community,

It has been a while since I posted a proactive type of post just for you, so with that in mind, I am doing so now.  I am linking you in this article to things I use because I was asked about it.  As someone who was diagnosed with many invisible diseases (autoimmune Hashimoto’s is just one), I want to keep you informed about what I have been doing for myself in order to help you as well think about your loved ones who might be immune compromised.

I wake up and stand in front of the windows taking in as much sun as possible first thing in the morning.  But I also take my Vitamin D, and I would suggest you do the same.  Each word will be linked with what I buy.  Many of you also know I have a gene that doesn’t always allow me to process things on a cellular level as rapidly as others (MTHFR- looks like a bad word, gene mutation).  Even without that, approximately 75% of Americans are deficient in vitamin D, and I also have Hereditary Hemochromatosis and PCT, long story with that, but have to be careful with sunlight anyway.  Get your vitamin D panel done at the doctor and see how low you are before you take.

Now because of said things above, I also take a B, but you don’t have to unless you can’t process things and your body is like mine.  Honestly, it supports you with all kinds of good things, so read about my Methyl B-12 here. Methylcobalamin (Methyl B-12) is the Most Bioavailable and Best Utilized Form of Vitamin B-12. Vitamin B-12 Helps Maintain Brain-Health, Vitality, Levels of Restful Sleep and an Enhanced Mood (they say but that disclosure of FDA hasn’t said that, etc.).  Again, find out if you need this. 

Have a kid in college???  Cess pool of germs, right? Well, my daughter was put on this Elderberry Complex because everyone had the flu, or a cold around her in September when she just got to college for the first time.  100 mg Elderberry, 103 mg Vitamin C, 12 mg Zinc per serving (1 lozenge), Helps support immune system* >> again the FDA thing.  Also, I link gluten-free things because I have to be GF for my autoimmune.

Over 40 and have joint pain?  This is for you.  I researched each ingredient long ago and chose this Glucosamine Chondroitin Turmeric & MSM << trust me.  It’s great.  BUT DO NOT TAKE if you are ON BLOOD THINNERS and have not asked your doctor.  I am only on thyroid medicine and NOT a doctor.  I have zero clue what the person reading this is on and this is not to cure, treat, etc like the FDA warning.  You do your research if you like this list please…thank you!

This is my SECRET, hidden gem.  You only need if you have immune issues and seasonal vertigo with your immune issues.  I have that.  I researched and dug through countless hours of medical papers and found a note on one guy’s study.  I tried it and I swear by it.  It is a pine bark extra called Pycnogenol and I love it.  It claims to do loads of things not validated by FDA, but whatever.  I think it’s the bees knees and do not suffer from the things I did previously.  Post-menopausal?  Read more as you will like this.  Go to the linked word and do your research people.  Don’t take my word for it, but I do love it.

Here is a sheet from the CDC on more information if you are thinking about the Coronavirus Disease and it’s symptoms.  << Go there

Watch Dr. Oz do this thing where he actually twists his hands to get the finger tips and why that is important if you touch things and have immune issues.  << Go to all my links to read more or watch.

I want to close with saying, please be kind.  Please be patient.  Please check on people.  Please don’t buy all the toilet paper << leave some for others.  Please do your inner work during this time.  Read the books, color, invest in your self-care.  It is something you CAN control.  Your reactions.  Start the process of making time for you.

Do the yoga.  Do the meditation.  Drink the tea.  NEED me??  I am online.  You can be part of my online world and never leave your house.  I run a group for people just like you.  We boost our immune systems all around the world through my portal and never leave our houses.  It is available right on your phone, computer or laptop.  You get your own log-in and everything.  I have yoga, meditation and journal therapy as well as private chats. >> Right here << so find us.
