** The health and safety of our patients and our community is everything. As our state has been ordered to close all non essential businesses and stay home in order to protect ourselves, families and our community to help flatten the curve of the COVID-19 virus spreading, we are limiting patient contact.
** The clinic is still here to help those existing and new patients. You can call/text/FB message/email us and still receive help from the comfort of your home. The clinic can help provide supplements and herbs. We will also be sending out ways that you can use acupressure to help yourself with the stress that has affected many of us during this time.
**Be informed – Be safe**
PREVENTION OF VIRAL ILLNESSES AND
SELF-CARE ADVICE
• Eat clean food (fresh, local, mostly produce, free of preservatives, dyes, additives and pesticides) – lots of fruits and vegetables, and also nuts and seeds.
• Drink clean water (filtered, not from a plastic bottle).
• Exercise most days of the week. (30 min to target heart rate 5 days per week)
• Sleep soundly 7-8 hours per night.
• Spend time daily in gratitude, prayer, and meditation.
• Consider daily saline lavage of mucus membranes (neti pot).
• Avoid close contact with people who are sick.
• Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth.
• Stay home when you are sick. (14 days quarantine after known COVID-19 infection)
• Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, then throw the tissue in the trash.
• Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces using a regular household cleaning spray or wipe. Pay attention to instructions. Some cleaners require 10 MINUTES of contact time for disinfection to occur.
** The physicians of the Orthomolecular Medicine News Service and the International Society for Orthomolecular Medicine urge a nutrient-based method to prevent or minimize symptoms for future viral infection. The following inexpensive supplemental levels are recommended for adults; for children reduce these in proportion to body weight:
1. Vitamin C: 3,000 milligrams (or more) daily, in divided doses.
2. Vitamin D3: 2,000 International Units daily. (Start with 5,000 IU/day for two weeks, then reduce to 2,000)
3. Magnesium: 400 mg daily (in citrate, malate, chelate, or chloride form)
4. Zinc: 20 mg daily
5. Selenium: 100 mcg (micrograms) daily
