NATURAL MEN’S HEALTH: TRAVEL AND THE IMMUNE SYSTEM - C A S E STUDY
A 42-year-old man, came to see me because he was suffering continual colds and flus. He was run-down, slightly depressed and lacking vitality. His work demanded frequent international travel. I prescribed a combination tablet of plant extracts with active ingredients against bacterial infections. The tablet included astragalus, echinacea and Siberian ginseng. I also prescribed an anti-oxidant high in vitamins A, C and E to combat free radical damage and to help his sleep patterns during time changes. A calcium tablet before bed also helped; and I asked him to take melatonin during plane travel and for a week after travel to a different time zone.
On the second visit he was much better, and we addressed some of the dietary changes he could make to improve his fitness during travel. I suggested he continue taking his supplements for six months and added co-enzyme Q10 to combat fatigue after long-term viruses.
He is also now more aware of hydrating his body with ten or more glasses of water per day.
