My rule for dinner is always a protein and veg and starch because I like it. ;) we eat fish weekly. And eat super foods on a almost daily basis. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/naturally-boost-immune-system#post-2050535 Mon, 02 Feb 2015 11:22:58 +0000 Greentea 2050535@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would approach it from a diet standpoint. Greens everyday? Foods with probiotics? Lots of garlic and fresh, lots of healthy fish, local organics... Tea everyday. This approach has changed my life. Also, near- obsessive handwashing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/naturally-boost-immune-system#post-2050408 Mon, 02 Feb 2015 10:08:07 +0000 stiletto_mom 2050408@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At the earliest signs of a cold, get him to eat raw chopped garlic. If he doesn't like the taste, pop it like a pill.</p> <p>Sources: <a href="http://www.webmd.com/vitamins-and-supplements/lifestyle-guide-11/colds-flu-immune-system?page=3" rel="nofollow">http://www.webmd.com/vitamins-and-supplements/lifestyle-guide-11/colds-flu-immune-system?page=3</a><br /> <a href="http://www.naturalnews.com/025461_garlic_colds_flu.html#" rel="nofollow">http://www.naturalnews.com/025461_garlic_colds_flu.html#</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/naturally-boost-immune-system#post-2050385 Mon, 02 Feb 2015 09:55:12 +0000 alohaorchid 2050385@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Vitamins, exercise, lots of water, lemon ginger water, green tea all help to boost immune systems. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/naturally-boost-immune-system#post-2050122 Mon, 02 Feb 2015 00:58:52 +0000 StbHisMrs 2050122@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We use EO's (diffuse Four Thieves, and apply to bottoms of feet daily), probiotics, vitamin c &amp; d, and when we feel a cold coming on we drink apple cider vinegar and absorbic acid mixed into juice.</p> <p>I've also heard that drinking kombucha tea is helpful, I haven't tried that. The scoby creeps me out :wink: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/naturally-boost-immune-system#post-2049663 Sun, 01 Feb 2015 15:42:38 +0000 littlejoy 2049663@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lemon water each day. An adrenal support (I'll snap a photo of mine). Probiotic (a good one with at least 10 bil. cultures). Exercise, eat well, get good sleep. </p> <p>I'm so sorry for him. I had surgery last year, and my immune system was just done. It took a lot to get back to good health. Sending healing thoughts his way. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/naturally-boost-immune-system#post-2049661 Sun, 01 Feb 2015 15:40:41 +0000 Mrs. Pink 2049661@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>it's not a vitamin, but I know they make supplements of it, so maybe it counts? But I'm a big fan of EOs- specifically I diffuse doterra On Guard all day in our home and then keep a roller ball with it for application. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/naturally-boost-immune-system#post-2049296 Sun, 01 Feb 2015 09:54:54 +0000 FliegepilzHut 2049296@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I :heart: Sambucus also! Does he take a multivitamin? You might also ask his doctors about vitamin D testing...</p> <p>ETA: Sorry just noticed you did mention a multivitamin! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/naturally-boost-immune-system#post-2049136 Sat, 31 Jan 2015 23:08:07 +0000 Mama Bird 2049136@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm sorry, that's awful! Poor guy. That sounds like my husband :( Last fall DS started day care, and they both went through several ear infections, bronchitis and antibiotics that winter. I didn't even know adults get ear infections. In his case, though, the problem seemed to be more stress than his natural immunity... he was in a very bad situation at work. It's gotten a little better and he doesn't get sick nearly as easy.</p> <p>As far as supplements, did your family try taking elderberry/sambuccus syrup? We started giving it to DS this fall, and he's done much better, though I really can't tell whether he's building up an immunity or the syrup is helping. Sometimes we take it too, but just the fact that DS is bringing fewer bugs home is keeping us healthier. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/naturally-boost-immune-system#post-2049117 Sat, 31 Jan 2015 22:27:04 +0000 regberadaisy 2049117@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So my DH has always had a horrible immune system. When DD1 started daycare he was practically sick the whole first year. She got a sniffle and he would get a full blown cold. Now DD2 started daycare right after Thanksgiving. He's literally had maybe 10 healthy days since Thanksgiving! He was always very very sick as a kid so it's no suprise his immunity is so weak.</p> <p>Anyway, what are some natural ways we can boost his immunity? He needs to get better about taking his multivitamins. He's on a couple other pills already for health reasons so I know he doesn't want to really add more pills but if you can lead me to research that shows it works I'll try to convince him.</p> <p>We already eat really healthy but can definitely improve even more on that front. He exercises when he can; when he's not sick! He's seriously one of the healthiest person I know and it sucks that he's sick so much. :(</p> <p>Any other tips? </p>
