Sick over and over again

[limette]

We have been sick pretty much constantly since February. Colds, flu, we'll get better for a couple of days and then catch something new.

This is weird because we (me, hubby and kids) have always been super healthy. It happened last year as well from Nov-Feb but dh was working in a children's play place then so it was kind of expected.

What can I do to boost our immune systems?

My advice is to get your vitamin D levels checked. Low vitamin D can cause the immune system to not work as well as it should. I was getting sick 1-2X a month before I got my D levels tested. They were quite low, and my doctor put me on vitamin d3 drops. I take 12,000 IU a day right now. My levels are fine and i only get sick 1-2 times a year instead of 1-2 times a month!

Could there be a mold issue? And you could take a look at Olive Leaf Extract for general immunity boosting and anti-viral activity. Olive Leaf Extract does amazing things for your immune system -- some sort of fighting cell way increases.

Ditto on the olive leaf!

And here's a list of more herbs that boost immunity.

And, as pp suggested, check vit D levels and take a good probiotic.
