Feeling Under The Weather?

Recommendations from Dr. Simmons

For Flu & Viruses

Are you feeling a little run down? Are you feeling like you might be “coming down with something?”  Judging by MedExpress' parking lot today, you're not alone.

What should you do?

1) Keep up with your spinal adjustments! Staying well adjusted will help boost your immune system.

2) Drink lots of water. Water helps your body flush out toxins.

3) Get plenty of rest and give your body ample healing time.

4) Take Vitamin C (30 mg/day MAXIMUM) and Echinacea. All in combination will help keep your immune system up and empowered.

Are you running a fever?

1) Sleep off the fever. A fever is your body’s way of destroying infection. Very few, if any, bacteria and viruses can live in a body temperature above 102-104 degrees for an extended period of time greater than 48 hours. Sweat it out. Drink lots of water and avoid dairy products during this time.

2) Get in for treatment as soon as you can. Following the above treatment recommendations can help you recover and boost your immune system to avoid a relapse.
