A strong immune system provides effective, reliable protection against not only the flu, but also colds, sinus infections, pneumonia and other “winter infections”.
Our Winter Immune Boost program is a crash-course in lifestyle behaviours, nutritional supplements and herbal medicines (phytomedicines) that can be used to boost immune function, and help you enjoy a happy, healthy, productive winter.
A well-functioning immune system provides:
- Improved resistance to those choosing to not use the flu vaccine, or for those vaccinated in years that the flu vaccine is prepared using the incorrect flu strain
- Increased vaccine effectiveness (flu vaccines are less effective in persons with weak immune systems)
- “Added insurance” in years when the flu vaccine is “well-matched” (even in well-matched seasons, flu vaccines are only 40-60% effective in reducing illness in the general population)
- Increased potential for prevention of all infections, not only flu
Our Winter Immune Boost program includes:
- 60-minute appointment for explanation of lifestyle interventions, and recommendations for nutritional supplements and herbal medicines (phytomedicines) that support immune system function
Winter Immune Boost programs at Toronto Centre for Naturopathic Medicine are covered by most extended healthcare plans. Contact us to have your best winter yet!
