Last updated 3\/27\/20:\u00a0<\/strong> My patients and newsletter subscribers are receiving these updates via email, which I am compiling here as an easy reference for all. Please do your own research and consult with your own physician, as information changes rapidly during this pandemic. You can subscribe to my newsletter (and get my free eBook) by filling out the form at the bottom of this blog article page.<\/p>\n

The best outcomes we can hope for are that 1) you can avoid getting ill, 2) you can recover more quickly if you do get ill, and 3) that you avoid spreading the virus to others, especially to those who may be less able to cope.<\/p>\n

NEW:<\/strong> Here (in a separate post) is my latest experience<\/a> with my own patient being admitted to a hospital with COVID-19 and the difficulty I had with the hospital not agreeing to the Plaquenil (hydroxychloroquine) treatment that I prescribed for him. My patient is doing better so far, but do read the full story here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Office Status:<\/h2>\n

My team and I have been working hard to implement the practices I recommend below and to keep ourselves isolated (at home and the office) so that we can continue to take care of you. My hope is that we will get through this without having to close the office for any significant period of time. Fortunately, I\u2019ll be able to do patient visits through a Telemedicine program called Doxy.me or by phone. If you have an upcoming visit one of my staff will let you know how to connect.<\/p>\n

Supplement Supply:<\/h2>\n

We have also been working very hard to keep a supply of the highest quality supplements in stock for you to be able to continue to have the supplements you usually take as well as ones that will help support your immune system and hopefully keep you healthy. Many of the supplement companies are running into temporary shortages. I will be posting a supplement bundle recommendation frequently based on what we have in stock that will support a strong immune system.<\/p>\n

Supplement Orders:<\/h2>\n

You can place your orders by phone, our Updox patient portal, or email, and some products are available in our online store<\/a>. Local courier and curbside pickup orders are available, as well as phone and online orders.<\/p>\n

Clinic IV Therapy:<\/h2>\n

We will be suspending IV therapy at the clinic for now. However, we will alert you when we have the mechanisms in place to keep both you and my staff healthy. I\u2019ll be excited to start it back up again because of the benefits that IVs provide.<\/p>\n

Here are some of our available items\u00a0<\/span>at the moment<\/span>:<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

Essentials Immune Kit<\/a>: This bundle includes the basics for immune system support. Each supplement was carefully selected to boost your immune system defense and help you fight viral infection. I\u2019ve included enough supplements for a one month supply (instructions will be emailed to you and included in your package). During the difficult time of this pandemic we are bundling these products together to offer you the best products at the greatest value, below the suggested retail price.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n
