By Dr. Katia Meier
My patients have been asking me what to do about the new COVID-19 virus, which is certainly a situation that should be taken seriously. However, don’t panic, prepare! Worrying lowers your immune functions and won’t help you be safe.
Here is a little write up of what I am generally recommending for viral infections and what I would be personally using to protect myself and my family; if you wish to receive a more personally tailored recommendation for yourself, please call the office to ask for a phone consultation or an office visit.
A good functioning immune system is the single most determining factor of how well your body will withstand a possible coronavirus infection or any other viral infection for that matter.
Besides the obligatory Hygiene measures, here is what you can do to stay well during these challenging times:
- Avoid sugar, sugar reduces your immune functions rapidly and for a while after each time you consume sugar. Avoid alcohol as it functions like sugar in your body and also lowers your immune functions.
- Stop smoking. On a good note, there has never been a better time to quit this habit! If your lungs are already struggling due to smoke and tar deposits, they are more vulnerable to a respiratory virus and its complications including pneumonia. Please call us if you need help, we have a program that has been very successful in keeping you smoke free.
- Eat lots of fresh organic vegetables and fruits.
- Get lots of sleep, rest and exercise if you can, preferably in fresh air.
Supplements to boost your immune system:
Since your immune system is complex, the help it needs is also complex. There is not just one single magic ingredient, rather a well-orchestrated, high quality and properly dosed approach of several key elements which will make the difference!
Reports have shown that intravenous Vitamin C has been very helpful in recovering people from the corona virus and respiratory distress. Vit C can also be given as an intramuscular injection. We have both available in our practice.
Liposomal Vitamin C from Designs for Health is the next best thing to the injectable form. It can be used at home or while traveling to get high amounts of Vit C into your body effectively. The Liposomal technology allows for immediate bioavailability and intracellular delivery and is far superior to regular oral Vit C;

Vit D 3: Vitamin D is essential for your immune functions, regular dosage in winter is 10.000 units daily and when infected you can take up to 50.0000 units daily for adults, I don’t recommend taking D3 without K2. 10.000 units D3 with K2 comes in one capsule from Designs for Health as the Vitamin D Ultra 10K, and adults may take one daily, and 4-5 daily when sick or exposed.

We have a liquid form for children where one drop delivers 1000 units of D3 combines with K2 and most kids need just 1-2 drops daily and when sick it may be given more often, call us for the Liquid D3 K2 for kids at 303-790-7860, it will be delivered from the office to your home address while supplies last.
Designs for Health also has a Liposomal Vit D available: this might be another liquid option for children or also adults who prefer the instantly bioavailable form. Each 0.5 ml serving of one pump delivers 2500 units of D3 and 325 mcg of K1 and K2. For more info and ordering: https://clearskymedical.ehealthpro.com/products/liposomal-d-supreme
Xcellent A from Xymogen, Vitamin A helps the cell wall to keep strong to inhibit a virus from entering the cell and it helps to reduce viral replication; Many viral infections are more severe in a Vitamin A deficient state, the most famous example is the measles. Vitamin A is essential for your body’s response to any viral infection.
In general, adults may take 1 caps daily for prevention, if sick or exposed: adults may take one 4 times/day until better.
