At Grange Health & Wellness, we truly value parents. 💛

You’re the ones with your children every single day. You notice the subtle changes a doctor may never see in a single office visit; sleep patterns, eating habits, digestion, behavior shifts, energy levels, and routines at home.

That insight matters.

Dr. Nelligan believes parents are not just observers, you are essential partners in your child’s care. Your concerns are listened to, respected, and thoughtfully considered as part of the whole picture. We don’t rush, dismiss, or overlook what you know to be true about your child.

Healthcare works best when parents and physicians work together.
And that’s exactly what we do here.

Appointments with Dr. Nelligan are now scheduling for the beginning of March.
Call today to reserve your spot and experience care that honors the whole child and the parents who know them best.

How Zinc Helps When You’re Sick

Zinc is one of the most important minerals for your immune system, especially during viral illnesses. Here’s what it does:

1. Blocks Viral Replication

Zinc helps prevent viruses from multiplying inside your cells.
This is why people feel better faster when they increase zinc at the first sign of illness.

2. Supports White Blood Cells

Zinc strengthens the activity of neutrophils, T-cells, and natural killer cells—your body’s “first responders.”

3. Reduces Inflammation

It helps regulate inflammatory pathways, easing severity of symptoms.

4. Supports the Throat + Respiratory Tract

Zinc lozenges can directly support the mucous membranes in the mouth and throat where viruses first enter.

What Needs to Be Taken With Zinc for Balance

Zinc works best when balanced with two other minerals:

1. Copper

Zinc and copper compete for absorption.
Taking zinc long-term without copper can cause deficiency.

Rule of thumb:
• For every 15 mg of zinc, you need about 1 mg of copper
• Many immune blends + multivitamins include this balance already

Short-term use (like during illness) doesn't usually require extra copper unless taken in high doses for many days.

2. Magnesium

Zinc and magnesium use similar transport pathways.
Magnesium helps with immune regulation, muscle relaxation, and inflammation while supporting balance.

You don’t have to take them at the exact same time just ensure both are part of your routine.

Zinc works best when taken with a small amount of food to avoid nausea.

Influenza and viral crud are making the rounds right now, here are a few supportive things you can do:

• Prioritize hydration: dehydration makes symptoms linger longer.
• Stick with gentle foods: broths, soups, electrolytes, warm teas with honey.
• Rest early, not late: your immune system repairs fastest when you slow down.
• Stock your wellness cabinet: Orthomune, Viracid, and Oscillococcinum can be helpful to have on hand at the first sign of symptoms.

If symptoms worsen or last longer than expected, call us we’re here to help you recover.

With flu season upon us and families gathering for the holiday, you may be wondering whether you should take Orthomune or Viracid? Here’s a quick guide:

Orthomune = Daily Defense
Think “immune foundation.”
It combines vitamins C + D, zinc, quercetin, and NAC to help keep your system strong all season long. Great for prevention, stress, travel, and staying resilient.

Viracid = Rapid Response
Think “first sign of sickness.”
With vitamin A, elderberry, echinacea, astragalus, and L-lysine, it’s designed for those early scratchy-throat, achy, run-down moments. Best used short-term when you feel something coming on.

Simple rule:
Orthomune for daily support.
Viracid for early symptoms or exposure.

Insurance is not Healthcare. Our country has been brainwashed into thinking that insurance is for everyday health. This is just not so and one reason the medical system is incredibly broken.
