Re: Boosting Your Immune System - share your ideas

Improve your gut health

Most of our immune system is in our gut, and my sense of this disease is that is has its roots in liver-pancreas-intestinal dysfunction.

Take probiotics -- I take HLC probiotic formula from Pharmax, my naturopathic onc has also recommended Integrative Therapeutics Pro-Flora formula. Switching between more than one probiotic is supposed to be better he said.

If you are going through every three week chemo now, don't take anything the first 7-10 days, starting s could days before treatment. Once you get over that hump you should have two weeks clear to work on your gut and diet - and if you want to get better you will use that time to try to restore your system. I was really depleted when I was diagnosed, I used this strategy to help restore during chemo, from four pregnancies, two live births, and seven years of breastfeeding (I wasn't out to win prizes, everything I read said you could breastfeed as long as you wanted to).

I have a ton more links about the microbiota but Im on my phone now. Let me know if you want more to read.
