Autism First Aid: Immune Boosting

Whether you’re:

- perfectly healthy (and working to stay that way)

- going through changes that leave your immunity more vulnerable

- fighting some cold or infection that hasn’t taken hold yet, or

- sick and trying to get your health and balance back

…there are simple and safe ways to support your body’s natural healing mechanisms, rather than suppressing these through over-the-counter or prescription drugs.

This guide walks you through how to do it yourself.

Many autistics have immune challenges at the least (allergies, chronic sinus infections, warts, etc.). Sometimes immune overwhelm was the final straw that dropped mental, emotional, and physical functions into the pathologies of autism.

Since many autistics have a trick metabolism, over-the-counter and prescription drugs tend to have unexpected effects, many side effects, and disproportionate intended effects. In addition, most drugs are toxins. The invariably impaired detoxification systems in autistic bodies struggle to handle these effectively.

Natural ways to support the immune system in sustaining or recovering its healthy balance are safe, simple, and readily accessible to most budgets. And many will get you through an illness faster, or help you to avoid it altogether!
