Imunity Booster

Comment by Chad J. Dupuis, L.Ac.

What is your overall tcm diagnosis? And is the cough productive (with phlegm, and if so, what color) or non-productive (i.e. dry). A dry cough, particularly after chemo treatments would likely indicate yin and/or blood deficiency rather than an immune problem per se. A wet cough could indicate damage to the spleen qi from chemo treatments leading to an increase in dampness. See our acupuncture for cough article for some of the main patterns.

Based on the information above and my experience in my practice, I would try boosting the Glutathione level of the patient. Glutathione, the master anti-oxidant cannot be effectively taken in. Although there are many forms available in the market like pills, powders, IV, etc. - the best Glutathione is produced by our own bodies. There are acupuncture points for this and using needle-less acupuncture method combined with this new technology, there are clinical tests that shows that glutathione can be increased by 300% in a matter of few days (depending on the body&#39s underlying conditions).
