Stay Healthy This Winter With Immune-Optimizing Infusions

As if the current COVID-19 pandemic weren’t threatening enough, we’re now facing flu season, which will put millions more at risk of viral infection. To combat this double threat, a healthy immune system is your first line of defense, and we can strengthen this defense with our immune-optimizing infusions.

Your health is paramount to our team here at Alternative Disc Therapy. Under the guidance of Dr. Warren Bleiweiss, we provide patients with the tools they need for great health, including infusions that strengthen your immune system.

In the following, we review the importance of your immune system and how we can optimize this protection through tailored infusions.

Immune system 101

Your immune system isn’t one organ in your body; it’s a network of cells, organs, proteins, and tissues that come together to ward off harmful invaders, such as:

• Viruses
• Bacteria
• Fungi
• Toxins

Each person is born with a natural immune system, but it isn’t terribly strong at first. As you go through life, your immune system adapts and acquires new immunities, allowing it to protect you against a wider range of harmful agents.

Your immune system and viral infection

The reason why the flu exacts such a great toll each year is that the virus is constantly changing, and there are new strains that make their most unwelcome rounds each year. To put some numbers to the problem, the CDC reports that the flu has led to 9-45 million illnesses, 140,000-810,000 hospitalizations, and 12,000-61,000 deaths each year in the United States since 2010.

Now combine these numbers with those of COVID-19, which has, at the time of this writing, infected nearly nine million people in the US and led to nearly 230,000 deaths.

These eye-opening statistics underscore the need for protection, which aside from a vaccine, includes a strong immune system.

Boosting your immune system

Vitamin infusions are all the rage these days as medical spas jump on board to “cure” everything from a hangover to aging.

Here at our practice, we take these infusions very seriously. Dr. Bleiweiss, who is a triple board-certified physician, doesn’t simply give you a large dose of vitamin C, but a wide range of resources that all work together to boost your immune system, including:

• Vitamins and minerals
• Glutathione
• Alpha lipoic acid
• Very small embryonic-like cells (VSELs)
• Oxygen ozone 
• Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+)

Each of these ingredients optimizes your immune network from different angles. For example, oxygen ozone promotes healthy cell growth while flushing away dead and damaged cells.

As another example, glutathione is a powerful antioxidant, and its presence in your body can be diminished by stress and poor nutrition. Our goal with our infusion is to replenish your supply.

The bottom line is that each of these ingredients plays a role in optimizing your immune system, and when we’re facing the possibility of a twindemic, we need all hands on deck.
