I still don’t want you coming into the office when you’re sick but this is very interesting!
Research from Harvard "revealed that acupuncture stimulation can reduce systemic inflammation in mice experiencing cytokine storm - an extreme immune response in which the body rapidly releases excess inflammatory proteins - that has been seen with COVID-19".

Interestingly, the timing of treatment mattered:

"Mice treated preventively—right before their cytokine storm—developed less inflammation and fared much better than untreated mice; their survival rate improved from 20 percent to almost 80 percent.”

According to the Harvard Jan/Feb 2021 magazine survival rate went from 20 to 80% with acupuncture!!

This is your reminder to please make sure you’re getting your Vitamin D! It’s one of the things you have control over in this time of uncertainty. I always recommend vitamin D with K2 to help with absorption. Since it’s a fat soluble vitamin, make sure you’re taking it with food.
