In addition to Ayurvedic recommendations for a strong immune system  it is becoming increasingly evident that properly dosed vitamin D reduces susceptibility to covid as well as the rate of complications. .

Read about new study results on the protection against corona by vitamin D and C here. Our immune performance responds to all internal and external influences, and can be enormously weakened or enormously strengthened by them.

Positive influences on immune performance:

• Balanced diet, proper eating habits
• Relaxation, Transcendental Meditation
• Sufficient sleep
• Aerobic exercise
• Purification
• Well-being and personalised life goals
• Medicinal herbs such as Maharishi Amrit Kalash
• Nutritional supplements such as vitamin D and C
• Balancing the doshas Vata, Pitta and Kapha

Negative influences on the immune system

• "Modern" diet with convenience foods ("junk food").
• Irregular meals, bad eating habits
• Sleep deprivation (sleeping less than 7 hours)
• Sedentary lifestyle
• Overweight and diabetes
• Stress due to over- and under-exertion
• Continuous intake of many chemical drugs
• Lack of vital substances
• Imbalance of the life energies Vata, Pitta and Kapha

Vitamin D and Immune Performance

A 2nd thing you should tackle immediately is boosting your vitamin D status. More and more studies are showing that adequate vitamin D levels significantly reduce the likelihood of covid disease and cause a much milder course in patients who become ill despite having vitamin D. Under the title "How much ignorance is actually allowed?! Vitamin D can save lives in corona ", the staff of the recognised preventologist Prof. Dr. Jörg Spitz write the following in their newsletter: "In view of these clear results (of vitamin D research*), the question arises as to how long it is still ethically justifiable to continue to withhold vitamin D as a therapeutic agent from patients with covid-19 and other respiratory diseases. The consensus among international experts is that blood levels of vitamin D should be at least 30 ng/ml, with an optimal level above 40 ng/ml." Our recommendation: Take vitamin D regularly in the dosage we recommend! If you are unsure of your vitamin D level, get tested as soon as possible! If you do not know exactly how to dose, please contact us at the practice!

Vitamin C and viral infections

Even the founder of orthomolecular medicine, the American Nobel Prize winner Linus Pauling, postulated an excellent preventive and therapeutic effect of vitamin C on viral infections. Already during the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic in Wuhan/China, severely ill covid patients were treated very successfully with high-dose vitamin C infusions. We also recommend an accompanying oral therapy with vitamin C for every viral infection. One can take as much vitamin C daily as the intestine can tolerate. This dose ranges from 500 mg to several grams of vitamin C per day, depending on sensitivity.

Vitamin C infusions for prevention

Experienced doctors who are intensively involved in the use of vitamin C report success in the preventive use of vitamin C infusions. One infusion of high-dose vitamin C (7.5g) every 1 - 2 weeks is sufficient as a sensible preventive measure against viral infections. We offer these vitamin C infusions in our practice.  With weekly vitamin C infusions and a good vitamin D prophylaxis we can accompany you through these times in the best possible way!
