INFECTIONS
About Infections
Infections
become more frequent or long-lasting when the immune system is run down.
Stress, insufficient nutrients such as vitamins and minerals, and general
toxicity in and around us can lower our immune defences.
To raise them again we need vitamin C and all antioxidants, probiotics
such as lactobacillus acidophilus, the herbs echinacea and cat’s claw and
possibly anti-fungals such as garlic and capryllic acid (see
candidiasis).
Avoid excessive stress if possible and get plenty of rest and fresh air.
