In Addition To Monthly IVIG Infusions What Else Can Be Done To Strengthen My Very Weakened Immune System.

I have had enormous trouble clearing dental infections. My oncologist recommended that I temporarily stop taking my scheduled chemo. I did
this and it helped to finally clear the gum infections. Clearly, though, my immune system remains weak. What else can I do?

Herb,
I take 2 capsules a night. I definitely don’t want to harm my liver of kidneys. When I feel I am getting sick,I take more and I don’t get worse, but on,y for a few days.

One has to be concerned,when using NONI juice, about possible damage to the liver and the kidneys.

I've had Ivig infusions for over a year. Still have a weakened immune system, probably a result of three years of chemo and aging (in two months I will be 89).

Have you had your Vit D level checked. Most people run low. Vit D is crucial for a healthy immune system.

I can’t figure out why I rarely get sick these days, and all I can think of is that I have been taking more Vitamin D3 than I ever had before.

Thanks DonnaLopes for the suggestion. I take that amount of Vitamin C twice daily and have done so for years.
