Weakened Immune System And Tesing To Determine The Root Cause

Home • Immune Health

Are you getting sick more frequent than not since your kids went back to school or since they started school for the first time? Are your kids bringing home more viruses than before and getting the whole family sick? Are you stressed as a parent because of this? Your immune system might be lower than expected due to stress, lack of sleep, little ones bringing home viruses, and potentially eating the wrong foods. There may also be deficiencies in certain vitamins and minerals that are important in keeping your immune system strong. Our team of Naturopathic Doctors will assess and address the root cause of your weakened immune response or your little ones and then provide the right supplements to strengthen your immune system via oral supplementation, IV therapy or even injections.

Homeopathy

Homeopathy is a medical practice that believes that the human body has the ability to heal itself with the use of natural substances, including plants and minerals. Homeopathic medicine is available in different potencies and strengths and comes in a variety of formats including liquid drops and tinctures, topicals, and pellets. Homeopathic remedies are suitable for all ages, and are individualistic, safe, gentle, and effective.

Injections

Intramuscular injections, such as Vitamin B12 and Vitamin D, are used to treat deficiencies, and allow for quicker and effective absorption into the body compared to subcutaneous and intradermal injections, and oral medications. The administration technique is simple and accessible. Shots that are delivered directly into the muscle avoid gastric factors and are a preferred method for those who have difficulty tolerating oral supplements or are not consistent with a supplementation regimen. Common injection sites include the deltoid muscle (upper arm), vastus lateralis (thigh), and dorsogluteal muscle (buttocks).

Botanical Medicine & Supplements

The use of plant-based medicines in the form of teas, tinctures, topical creams or capsules for treating specific health concerns and aiding the body in recovering from injury or disease.

IV Therapy

I.V. Therapy is used for high dose delivery of vitamins, minerals and herbs for faster relief of symptoms compared to oral supplementation. It allows for quick absorption of nutrients directly into the blood stream. I.V. Therapy delivers a higher dose supplementation without adverse affects such as stomach upset and malabsorption. For example, this therapy can be effective for people suffering from Ulcerarative Colitis and Crohn’s disease, or people with low immune function due to cancer treatments or colds.
