Host Barbara Cochran and Dr. Gene Dorio of the Senior Hour radio show is joined by guest, Santa Clarita Chiropractor Dr. Thomas Polucki, who talks about how to protect yourself from virus attacks such as the flu.

Dr. Polucki wants us to improve our immune system when it comes to the coming flu and avoiding getting ill.

There are clinical trials to see the night and day supplements that have properties to test against the virus. The daytime supplements are vitamin D, and the nighttime supplement is melatonin, Dr. Polucki said.

“Your body in some ways is like a plant. It photosynthesizes certain wavelengths of light to produce certain chemicals in your body,” says Dr. Polucki.

Dr. Polucki brings to our attention about the lack of vitamin D that we are using. Vitamin D is a way to improve bone health, but it also helps your immune and nerve system. People are not getting enough sunlight or natural foods that support vitamin D.

Not many people know vitamin D helps fight against the virus and any other illnesses. Dr. Polucki mentions when people are stuck inside the immune system will have trouble unless they are taking vitamin D.

If people are still not getting enough vitamin D, getting sun can help but be careful not to overdue it because it can lead to cancer or age the skin faster. Dr. Polucki warns us not to take too much vitamin D or else you can overdose.

Melatonin is another supplement to help protect you from the virus. It is known as a sleep aid, but it is also ten times more powerful and antioxidant than vitamin C, Dr. Polucki said. This can protect the immune system and anti-anxiety.

“It’s not that the virus kills you so much; it’s the inappropriate response to the immune system that winds up killing you,” Dr. Polucki said.

Melatonin is getting the upper hand when it comes to fighting flu or viruses. It has been around for a long time and now is an important supplement to take.
