5. Elderberry Syrup: is full of antioxidants and functions as an anti-viral. It has been shown to shorten the duration of a cold/fl u and reduce the symptoms con- nected with it.


6. Vitamin C: has long been known to support the immune function and for its antixodidant support. A recent study during COVID has shown its use in reducing the time in hospital for those infected, though not confi rmed to pre- vent you from contracting the virus.


7. Astragalus: is an herb that is often used for chronic, long-term immune support and is also an adaptogen. This herb has often been recommended in Lyme pro- tocols for its benefi ts for both the disease and immune function.


Another therapy we particularly use


in the offi ce for the immune system is low dose immunotherapy (LDI). It helps the immune system to rebalance itself and decreases infl ammation related to specifi c infections. Another component to look for support with Lyme patients as part of their immune function is lifestyle management,


i.e. diet, exercise and sleep. Many of my patients with Lyme disease have disruption in their sleep patterns and quality of sleep. For some, we look at recommending mela- tonin which is additionally benefi cial for its immune supporting properties.


Artemesia annua, also known as


wormwood, has shown to be anti-parasitic and anti-malarial. It also has very strong anti-viral properties and is helpful for com- mon tick-borne co-infections like Babesia. Japanese knotweed has shown to exhibit potent activity against dominant persistent forms of Lyme disease. It is often seen in combination with other herbal protocols.


As a reminder, particularly as we go into the summer months, prevention is key. Here are some quick tips to consider:


• Wear long pants, sleeves and socks when going outside in nature, e.g. hiking.


• Make sure to do checks on body after being outside, particularly areas like scalp, groin and underarms.


• Consider use of a natural bug spray.


• Be mindful of pets to see if they are a carrier.
