No, it’s not a magic mushroom, but it is a fascinating one!!

AHCC is a mushroom-derived extract that’s been studied for how it helps support and regulate the immune system (not overstimulate it—important difference).

Here’s what research suggests it may help with:

🛡️ Stronger immune “first responders”: AHCC supports natural killer (NK) cells, the immune cells that help identify infected or abnormal cells before problems escalate

📣 Better immune communication: It may increase helpful immune messengers (called cytokines) that help your immune system coordinate a smarter response

🧠 Support for immune memory: AHCC has been shown to support T-cells, which help your body remember and respond to threats more effectively over time.

✨ What has this looked like in studies?
• Improved immune function in healthy adults
• Lower infection burden in stressed immune systems
• Supportive outcomes alongside conventional cancer care in specific populations

⚠️ Important fact: AHCC is what we call a food medicine and there is no downside. 

🤍 At Extraordinary Wellness, we love tools that work with your body, not against it. Thoughtful supplementation is about timing, dosing, and making sure it actually fits you.

👉 Curious if AHCC makes sense for your immune health? Schedule a consultation and let’s talk through it.

You may have heard ivermectin mentioned in new ways lately.

🧬 Ivermectin shows pre-clinical anti-cancer activity across multiple cancer types . In early laboratory and animal studies, ivermectin has shown cell death or damage in certain cancer cells, including breast, leukemia, colorectal, and esophageal cancers. It has shown promise against pancreatic cancer in laboratory studies.

Researchers have found that ivermectin may help by:
• Encouraging apoptosis (a process where unhealthy cells are signaled to safely die)
• Supporting autophagy (the body’s natural “cell cleanup” system)
• Helping the immune system better recognize cancer cells
• Influencing pathways involved in inflammation, cell growth, and immune balance

Some studies suggest ivermectin may work best alongside other treatments, such as immunotherapy.

⚠️ What’s important to know:
These results are preclinical, meaning they have not yet been proven in large human trials. Ivermectin is not currently an approved cancer treatment.

🤍 At Extraordinary Wellness, we believe in education without fear and hope without hype. We stay informed on emerging research while always prioritizing safety, evidence, and individualized care.

👉 Curious about integrative approaches or how emerging research fits into your care? Book a consultation to have a thoughtful, informed conversation.

If your GLP one pharmacy is changing monthly, this isn’t good, and it’s likely because the cheapest price is being looked for, and quality is nowhere on the priority list!

Not all hormones work the same way. How extended release progesterone may help.

✨ Extended Release (compounded option):
• Steady, all-day support
• Helps with mood regulation & anxiety
• May reduce bloating or dizziness
• Can offer gentler uterine protection when immediate release isn’t ideal

🌙 Immediate Release:
• Works well for most women
• Fast-acting
• Powerful support for sleep
...And yes, you can use both. Many patients feel best combining daytime stability with nighttime rest.

Hormone care isn’t one-size-fits-all. It’s personal.

Actually, she was on two courses of antibiotics one course of steroids, and two different cough suppressants!

What it took was giving her body what it needed to fight and recover.

Her Provider: Jacob Carmichael, Paramedic

It is dangerous to take a steroid with an antibiotic until you know you are getting better or a culture tells you the antibiotic fights and kills that bacteria.

At first exposure or the first sign of a symptom, this plan is HIGHLY effective ..
🫐Start Elderberry: Antiviral activity.
🌿Start Oil of Oregano: Antiviral and antibacterial activity
👉 Brand matters, do not go to Walmart or Sam’s and pick this up.
💫 I rarely see people progress to an antibiotic when they do this immediately

If you feel any little bit of progression or you’re a couple of days in, it’s best to add high dose vitamin C and glutathione IV, or a lower dose IM, to get it directly to your system immediately. IM vitamin C, glutathione, and zinc combination is also a great option! The sooner the BETTER! ⏰Timing is everything.

We want you to stay healthy and keep you informed 💚🫶🏻.

To be clear, This is NOT MEDICAL ADVICE and this is not a provider patient relationship on this platform.

💫When the body is under stress or there is a new diagnosis, IV administration is the best route, followed by IM, then by mouth.

👉we start this plan while at the same time we’re adding in the nutrients by mouth that are deficient

🌿Taking nutrients by mouth is sufficient most of the time. This keeps your body, steady, and ready for times of stress when you are consistently taking in what you need.

🌿IV administration is great for situational use and for front loading. No, this is not needed all the time, maybe only needed during times of illness or times when we’re just starting to treat a new dx to get the body loaded immediately, or with treatments we know do better IV because of the high absorption rate, so it can do its job 💪 and then as needed intermittently.
