Recurrent Illnesses and Adrenal Fatigue

Adrenal function can be affected by the stress of illness, especially respiratory infections.* The connection between the adrenal glands and the lungs is so strong that proper fetal lung development depends on the presence of adequate amounts of the adrenal hormone, cortisol. Recurrent illness, particularly bronchitis, pneumonia or other respiratory infections, can contribute to fatiguing your adrenals.* If this is the case, providing effective immune support may help you stay well and reduce the demands on your adrenals. For uniquely effective immune support we recommend the following special dietary supplements: *

Nat-Stim®

Unique, natural, long term support for optimal immune function*

• 2 tablets on rising or before bed

• Take consistently for 3 months and then you may decrease to 1 per day. For optimal results continue taking regularly.* Nat-Stim® can be taken with Dr. Wilson’s adrenal products and does not interfere with medications.*

Super Immune Space Sprinkles™

Probiotic immune booster with Nat-Stim® for children and people who prefer not to swallow capsules*

• sprinkle 1 level scoop (¼ teaspoon) on moist food such as warm or cold cereal, or mix into any beverage twice a day

• Take consistently for 3 months and then decrease daily amount by half. For optimal results continue taking regularly.* Super Immune Space Sprinkles™ can be taken with Dr. Wilson’s adrenal products and does not interfere with medications.*

Body-Guard™

Quick-acting, short-term support for front line immune defenses in the respiratory, gastrointestinal and urogenital tracts*

• intended for occasional use, only when needed

• 10-15 drops in a glass of non-citrus juice or water four times daily (upon rising, mid-morning, mid-afternoon & before bedtime) on an empty stomach

• Continue for 7-10 days
