    Your weekly reminder that anyone talking about boosting your immune system is probably wrong 👍

        Vegan here. You are wrong. COVID is a virus that impacts the varied spectrum of immune systems differently depending on a WIDE array of factors including much more than merely diet AND there's no singular (or even multiple) ways to simply 'boost your immune system' safely.

        Viruses are too intimidated to infect people with really great abs. Everyone knows this.

        What terminology would you use instead of "boosts the immune system"? Eg. Sleep deprived ppl more likely to get sick, hence to most people being well rested is a "boost to the immune system".

        "Support", because for me, "boosting" is above and beyond the 100% of what the body needs, and outside of medical intervention is it useless, literally pissing money down the drain.

        I’ll stick to listening to my gastroenterologists, rheumatologist, dermatologists,allergist, #IBD nurse &IBD pharmacist. Also immunologist,if I ever get one! 😜 #crohns #PyoG #spondylarthropathy #autoimmunity #infliximab #corticosteroids #immunosuppression #biologics #immunology

        Obviously, none of the aforementioned healthcare providers dealing w my various #autoimmune issues are going to be talking about BOOSTING my immune system. (Just to be really clear. 🙄) #immunology #immunosuppression #autoimmunity #biologics #infliximab #NEISvoid

        This hippie chick I used to lay with was really into echinacea, and she begs to differ.
