Dr. Chene's Updated Recommendations for Boosting Immunity and Minimizing Risk of Coronavirus (COVID-19)

 Dr. Janet Chene quickly began studying nutrition for the immune system in early February 2020 particularly as it relates to our evolving understanding of the Covid-19 virus. It’s important to modulate (and not just stimulate) the immune system and also to decrease inflammation in order to avoid increasing cytokines. You can now easily obtain the professional quality supplements recommended (on right side of page) for immune support by purchasing through the buy supplement buttons on the front page of this website - or calling the number to order them.

Order what you need ahead of time and encourage those you love to do as well, because the first 5 days are most important for doing everything and not everything you want may be in stock when you need it most. Ordering directly through the Designs for Health link will help you obtain some items that are currently out of stock on Wellevate.

FOR THOSE WHO HAVE HAD COVID 19 OR THE SHOT, I RECOMMEND PROLONGING YOUR IMMUNITY WITH MAITAKE PRO D FRACTION, 9 DROPS TWICE A DAY, AND BY MAINTAINING AN OPTIMAL LEVEL OF VITAMIN D3 (of between 50-70) AND CHECKING T-CELL IMMUNITY ONCE THE ANTIBODIES DECREASE WHICH MAY TAKE SEVERAL MONTHS OR LONGER.

ALSO USE THE FOLLOWING PRECAUTIONS DURING THIS TIME:

  • Use a mask when out in public to protect others, and physically distance to protect yourself. Though viral particles can get through masks, it does help stop the most contagious droplets

  • Do not touch your face (or anyone else's) unless you wash your hands immediately prior to and afterwards as well

  • Avoid public restrooms if possible - these germs aerosolize in un-lidded toilets when flushed

  • Use your Far Infrared light (if you bought one through my office, if not can get through link on this website) put over chest as lymph cells are stored under breastbone or sauna daily if you have one

  • Avoid fried foods and omega 6 (vegetable) oils in cooking- favor olive oil or even coconut oil at this time in order to discourage pathway that produces inflammatory cytokines

  • Avoid alcohol, sugar, reduce grains and junk foods.  Eat plenty of vegetables, chicken soup, and adequate protein - 50-70 grams divided in to 2-3 meals during the day

  • Try not to stress, as stress impairs your immune response.  Don't watch the news all day

  • Stay connected with friends and loved ones by text or social media- try FaceTime!

  • Moderate exercise is good

  • Get outside for some sun for 20-30 minutes at non peak hours, and fresh air at least once a day.  Enjoy the natural world.

  • Use this time to pray, meditate and connect with God, focusing on the essence of life and what it's really all about. Take time to focus on what you appreciate and feel grateful for. This can help reduce stress and improve immunity as well.
