Kids’ immune systems have to grow along with them, which is why they get sick a lot. How does that happen? Immunity grows and evolves as the result of being challenged by exposure and infection. Most young kids get 6-8 colds a year, and it’s how they become immune–one-by-one–to the myriad viruses they’re exposed to. This is nature’s way, but even so, a child’s immune system needs to be strong in order to stand up to the constant onslaught of viruses, bacteria and fungi, like candida.

 

Particularly during transitional times of the year, like back-to-school, children and young adults become increasingly vulnerable to immune challenges. Not only will they be exposed to vastly more microbial challenges in school, their classrooms and around new people, but changes to routine, sleep and diet all create additional stress on the immune system.

 

In the latest addition to The Protocol Library, Mary Bove, ND, PhD, and author of the Encyclopedia of Natural Healing for Children and Infants, shares the products she recommends to parents who want to support their children’s immune health, especially when it’s needed the most.

P.S. Here’s Mary’s recipe for Homemade Elderberry Gummies which makes immune support a little more fun
