This special issue of the Natural Medicine Journal explores a variety of topics related to immune function—an important and timely theme that is top of mind for most integrative health professionals these days.
The sponsored podcast featuring integrative medical expert Russel Jaffe, MD, PhD, discusses ways to specifically enhance viral immunity. And another interview, this one featuring immunologist Heather Zwickey, PhD, explores how environmental factors affect the microbiome. In addition, our Abstracts & Commentary looks at a variety of recent research on immunity-related topics, including upper respiratory tract infections, hydrogen water, Porphyra tenera, probiotics, and fecal microbiota transplant. It’s obvious from this diverse offering that integrative medicine continues to offer many valuable tools to help enhance immunity as integrative practitioners continue to play an important role in helping their patients.
