Do you come down with the flu as soon as the leaves start to change colour or the snow starts to fall? Below are some surefire ways to reduce your chances of getting the flu this year.

Get a Natural Flu Shot: Scientific evidence confirms 41% more protection with the use of Engystol and Gripp-Heel, two natural and safe remedies for preventing colds and flu. These medicines are available in an oral liquid form for children, and as an injection for people 12 year of age and older.

Wash Your Hands Regularly: Washing your hands regularly will decrease the likelihood of spreading a virus, or to other people. Use a simple chemical-free soap found at your local health food store.

Don’t Let Stress Become Overwhelming: We all face stressors everyday, but if stress becomes overwhelming then your body will be less able to fight off the flu and other illnesses. Find a favourite activity that relieves stress, and make it a part of your daily life.

Get Enough Rest: If your body is overly fatigued, it will be harder for it to fight the flu. Regular rest will keep you strong and ensure that your body has the strength to fight off any potential invaders.

Avoid Sugar: Sugar decreases the function of your immune system almost immediately, and a strong immune system is the key to fighting off viruses and other illness, including the flu.

Exercise and/or Infrared Sauna: When you exercise or sit in a warm sauna, you increase your circulation and blood flow throughout the body. Your immune cells are also better circulated, which means your immune system has a better chance of finding an illness before it has a chance to spread.

Dr. Marnie offers a safe, effective natural alternative to the traditional flu shot. Cost is $20.00 for a natural flu shot.

Vitamin IV therapies contain sterile water solution and water soluble vitamins.  The Myers Cocktail is a standardized formula used to help treat almost any ailment. Intravenous Vitamins bypass the digestion and therefore increase the efficacy of the dosage to get the best bang for your buck!

What to expect:

You will be set up with a comfy chair, some hot tea, and kick back and relax while your personalized formulated IV Infuses. The session may last 45 minutes and each person should ensure they have eaten a meal and are well hydrated before the session. People are loving the benefits of intravenous vitamin infusions.

IV vitamin therapy was developed by Dr. John Myers. He formulated what’s referred to as the Myers’ Cocktail: a blend of water-soluble vitamins and minerals administered by an intravenous drip. This delivery mechanism,  enabled doctors to treat vitamin, mineral, and amino acid deficiencies, such as a deficiency in vitamin B12.

Antioxidant Therapy
One of the most common uses of IV vitamin therapy is use of antioxidants. Nutrients such as vitamin C, glutathione, and selenium are important antioxidants that protect your body against disease. Antioxidants are important substances that prohibit and prevent the oxidation of other molecules in the body. Free radicles leads to a wide range of diseases. Antioxidants are essential in preventing disease and maintaining good health!

Before your first IV we will need to do an initial intake, physical exam to assess your needs. Based on this we will compound a formula specifically for you.
