In my practice, I prescribe botanicals, nutraceuticals and supplements. However, due to the nature of the SARS cov-2 virus, for now, hold off on supplementing with vitamins A and D beyond 1000 IU’s and with the propolis bee spray and royal jelly. These have a modulatory effect by their nature in human biochemistry – meaning they can up-regulate or down-regulate a function based on what is needed. The effect of the virus on these vitamins is they can actually turn inflammation on to a level the body cannot manage effectively. You may continue to eat foods that have these vitamins in them.
Please know that you are supported and cared for either virtually or in person as we go through these trying times during the COVID-19 pandemic. Here are some tips and strategies that I would use to contain this virus and protect yourself and keep those around you protected.
Functional Medicine Physician Sandy Ziya at Meridians & Marathons located in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, talks about ways to protect yourself during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Meridians and Marathons now offers red light therapy with a Joov device. This therapeutic technique uses red, low-level wavelengths of light to help cells to function more efficiently and repair damage. Red light therapy has overwhelmingly positive results for skin health, collagen production, physical performance and muscle recovery, sleep, joint pain, inflammation, and a lot more.

Functional Medicine looks at the body with a systems-based approach, understanding how all our different parts work together and looking at a symptom as a sign of dysfunction that we need to get to the root cause of, not just tame.
It’s no secret that chronic pain and disease is caused by inflammation – and a good diet goes a long way towards lowering inflammation. A diet to strive for is one low in saturated fats and added sugars, high in fruits, veggies, lean protein (such as omega-3-rich wild salmon) and whole grains. Many also believe that avoiding animal products altogether – going vegan – makes for a healthier diet. But does it really?
Our diet, specifically the ingestion of industrial seed oils that are billed as heart healthy, are contributing to the rise in chronic diseases.
