Boost Your Immunity: The 1-2 Punch Against Viruses

In our practice, we frequently educate our patients about the most effective herbs and supplements to fight viral infections. Whether you’re looking for preventive measures or treatments when you’re already sick, there are numerous options to support your immune system. (If you haven’t yet, grab our Virus Prevention Protocol for guidance.)

For many patients, specialized protocols are necessary due to pre-existing conditions, frequent exposures, or compromised immune systems. We’re always here to help create personalized plans that take the guesswork out of prevention and treatment. A crucial point to remember: have your prevention and treatment supplies on hand before you get sick. Waiting until symptoms appear often means it’s too late to find what you need.

But what if you could stop viruses from even getting in?

While wearing a mask is a good option, itโ€™s not always practical. Today, weโ€™ll discuss two simple yet effective tools that can help block viruses at their entry pointsโ€”your nose and mouth. These strategies go beyond just wearing a mask, offering you an additional layer of protection.

How Do Viruses Enter the Body?

Viruses like the common cold, flu, RSV, norovirus, and COVID-19 typically enter through your nose and mouth. What if you could create a hostile environment in these entry points, stopping viruses in their tracks? The good news isโ€”you can! By sealing, sterilizing, and protecting the mucous membranes of your nose and mouth, you create a strong barrier that makes it difficult for viruses to establish themselves.

The Power Duo: Biocidinยฎ Throat Spray and XLearยฎ Nasal Spray

Let us introduce you to two powerful tools: Biocidinยฎ Throat Spray and XLearยฎ Nasal Spray. These work together to protect both your nose and the back of your throat. I personally carry both of these sprays with me, especially when in crowds or traveling, and I recommend my patients do the same.

Hereโ€™s how to use them effectively:

  • Before exposure: Two sprays of XLear in each nostril and three sprays of Biocidin in the back of your mouth.
  • After exposure: Use the same dosage when you return home or leave high-risk areas like airports.

These sprays have antimicrobial and sterilizing properties, creating a protective shield that helps keep viruses out. XLear also contains xylitol, which coats the nasal passages to prevent microbes and allergens from sticking around. Together, they form a highly effective โ€œ1-2 Punch Against Viruses!โ€

Punch #1: Biocidinยฎ Throat Spray (TS)

Biocidinยฎ TS offers rapid immune support, as shown in human clinical trials where athletes experienced a significant boost in immune activity within 60 minutes of use.

Hereโ€™s how it works:

  • Immunomodulation: Biocidinยฎ TS helps balance Secretory Immunoglobulin A (SIgA) levels in both the gut and respiratory tract. It contains immune-supportive botanicals like Echinacea, Noni, and Shiitake.
  • Supports a Healthy Inflammatory Response: Ingredients like Galbanum (a resin mentioned in ancient herbal texts) and Noni help balance inflammation, promoting a healthier immune response.
  • Microbial Balance: Botanicals such as Goldenseal, Garlic, Oregano, and Black Walnut support the elimination of harmful pathogens while encouraging the growth of beneficial flora.
  • Biofilm Disruption: The ingredients also help inhibit biofilm formation, which makes it harder for pathogens to stick around. This includes disrupting quorum sensing, surface adhesion, and breaking down the lipid layers of biofilms.
  • Antioxidant Properties: Bilberry, Grape Seed, and other components provide potent antioxidants, supporting cellular health and tissue repair.

Punch #2: XLear Nasal Spray

Since viruses typically enter through the nose, it makes sense to use a nasal spray that blocks viral and bacterial adhesion. XLear Nasal Spray is scientifically formulated to promote respiratory health and defend against viral exposure.

The key ingredient is xylitol, which moisturizes and cleanses the nasal passages while preventing microbes from sticking. Unlike regular saline sprays, which can dry out your nasal membranes, XLearโ€™s unique formulation keeps them hydrated and soothed.

Key benefits of XLear Nasal Spray include:

  • Anti-adhesive properties: Xylitol helps to block contaminants from sticking to your nasal tissues, much like soap cleans your skin.
  • Natural relief: Its hypertonic solution provides superior cleansing and moisture compared to saline sprays alone.
  • Non-GMO ingredients: You can trust the natural, non-GMO formulation.
  • Drug-free: Safe to use as often as needed, without the risk of addiction or rebound congestion.

By using both Biocidin and XLear sprays, you can create a powerful, multi-layered defense against viral infectionsโ€”whether you’re at home, in a crowded place, or traveling.
