- 2:52They are not working or seeing the doctors and get prescribed antibiotic for a flu, for a cold.
- 2:59These are viruses.
- 3:01So why are we taking antibiotic for a virus?

- 3:15If you're new to my channel, my name is Dr.
- 3:17Jennifer Genti.
- 3:18I am a functional medicine doctor.
- 3:21I've been called the wood cause doctor because my number one goal with my patients is to help them identify.
- 3:27The root causes of the symptoms, illnesses, diseases, autoimmune conditions, chronic health conditions, hormones.
- 3:33And I focus on three areas, gut health, because your gut is the portal for illness and also wellness.
- 3:40I focus on weight loss and I do weight loss completely different than most doctors and then hormone imbalance.
- 3:47So if those three areas are of an interest of yours, I would highly recommend you book a consultation, which you find the links below.
- 3:54So we have been getting tons of patients coming to our doors, like suffering with the cold and flu symptoms.
- 4:01Oh my God.
- 4:02Like they can't sleep or they sneeze, you know, they cough in and they can't, they literally working around with a box of tissue in the purse because the nose is running and it's embarrassing specifically now in COVID time, whenever you start coughing, you start sneezing and your nose is running.
- 4:18You have COVID.
- 4:19And what is COVID?
- 4:20It is a virus.
- 4:21So the things that I'm going to tell you today will also address any other viral infections that you might be faced with.
- 4:28It's not just the cold and flu and allergies, but any viruses because they are like families, Viruses work together.
- 4:35So, and it's also going to help Boost your immune system, your immune system is like the army and the soldier in your body.
- 4:43You want that immune cell, you want them to work for you.
- 4:46It's also going to decrease inflammation, it's besides eliminating your symptoms, it's going to boost energy, it's going to get rid of, sluggishness, irritability.
- 4:56And we're going to do all that by addressing your cells, everything's going to be taken care of at the cellular level, which is.
- 5:04where healing and wellness and like elimination takes place.
- 5:11You got to address the cells.
- 5:13That's why medications don't work because they don't address the cells, They are numb.
- 5:16The problem is not put in a bandit and a solution.
- 5:19So the first thing that I do I work on it for my patients you are my patients, I will also recommend for you, or again, consult with your doctor.
- 5:27If you have allergies, we get people off Claritin, Zizol, I don't like allergy medications.
- 5:32Antihistamine, Benadryl, they are not for you because they don't work.
- 5:36So I have a product here.
- 5:38Again, I'm not affiliated with the product.
- 5:39I'm just showing.
- 5:41I'm going to share them with you.
- 5:42If you're interested in working with me, book a consultation.
- 5:45If you're interested in our products, reach out to us.
- 5:47For allergies, I've been using this product for a very long time.
- 5:50And this product have helped my patients get off or antihistamine or medications that are specifically for allergies.
- 6:00The number one ingredient that I would love for you to look at when you purchase your allergy medication, in supplements.
- 6:08And make sure they are herbal blend.
- 6:10Make sure the ingredients has either one, two, or three.
- 6:13If it has more than three ingredients, it's garbage.
- 6:15You don't want that thing into your body.
- 6:17Because you are what you put into your body.
- 6:20And if we are focusing on decreasing toxicity, that is creating more weakness in our bodies, creating more histamine.
- 6:27We have to be very mindful of what we ingest.
- 6:31Not only from food, but also from a pill.
- 6:33So Indian Tynospora is the number one ingredient you should be looking at when you're purchasing the allergy medications.
- 6:40And I'm telling you, this is a gold.
- 6:42I have, this is samples that I give to my patients for them to try before the purchase.
- 6:46So if you're interested, reach out to me.
- 6:47Or go to your doctor and say, Hey, can you help me find a product that has Indian spora?
- 6:52Of course, there's a lot more herbs in there, but of course you can do whole basil, you can do stinging nettle, but these are not as strong to address all the histamine that are produced and released by your cells, by your receptor sites so that you can feel great.
- 7:06So you don't have to suffer with all the allergy symptoms, So that's the number one thing.
- 7:11After that.
- 7:12You also need some products for inflammation.
- 7:17my go to products for inflammation is vitamin C.
- 7:20Vitamin C has been one of the vitamins that is underutilized, that has been given a bad rep because most people think vitamin C causes kidney stones.
- 7:32That is not true.
- 7:34take it from a doctor that uses vitamin C as a first line of defense, really, not only for myself, for all my patients, whether they have autoimmune or cancer, it doesn't matter, we do vitamin C.
- 7:45Now, I'm biased because I feel like when you do IV vitamin therapy, you get a hundred percent of the vitamins, and then those vitamins are able to go straight into your cells and do The work.
- 7:58Again, as I mentioned, if you want to feel better quicker and faster in less than a week, this is, you're going to have to incorporate some IV vitamin therapy because taking a pill, and then the allergy pill, you're only going to be receiving 20 percent of the pill.
- 8:12With IVs, like I have here, this is a vitamin C that I'm going to be infusing all patient right here, you're getting 100 percent of the vitamin straight to your cells.
- 8:22It's going to decrease the inflammation.
- 8:24It's going to promote.
- 8:25immunity, Boost your immune system.
- 8:28But vitamin C is not just for inflammation and immune system.
- 8:31This puppy right here helps with collagen production.
- 8:34It helps you have beautiful skin.
- 8:36I do a drip every month.
- 8:38This is my go to.
- 8:39Whatever that you face with, whether it's a chronic health conditions or like, just, cold symptoms, vitamin C can help you.
- 8:48So if you are not able to get a IV vitamin therapy, if you can't find a facility that provides it, I highly recommend hydros vitamin C, but you have to do some investigation because not all IV vitamin therapy clinics are created equal.
- 9:02You have to make sure there's no Binders and fillers and preservatives because again, we don't want to put toxins and I think that's why most people become, have allergy symptoms over the years because they are putting things into the body that is weakening the immune system and also creating food sensitivities and allergies symptoms over time.
- 9:21So this is a high dose vitamin C.
- 9:23I have 50 gram in here, 100 ml of vitamin C, and I also put some other ingredients in here so that we can make sure we are supporting the cells as we are asking them to do the work that we need them to do.
- 9:37IV vitamin C is good.
- 9:38Another drip you should be considering, highly considering, besides IV is ozone therapy.
- 9:44Oh my god, ozone therapy is the gold standard.
- 9:48When it comes to infection, ozone, which is a simple, simple procedure where I take your blood, I put oxygen, I know it sounds crazy, and put it back into your body.
- 9:58I'm telling you, when the oxygen is faced with the viruses, the Lyme, the bacteria, And it's kind of help destroy it, so to speak, you build an immunity, you decrease in inflammation, like your cell becomes stronger, your organs become stronger, and a body that is well oxygenated is a body that heals quicker and faster.
- 10:20Again, these are the things I prescribe for my patients.
- 10:23Now, aside from ozone therapy, vitamin C, and also hydrogen peroxide, hydrogen peroxide IV has been called the old man antibacterial antiviral.
- 10:34And if you can find a clinic that does that, so I rotate for my patients that are like, I can't.
- 10:39Like I'm a busy professional.
- 10:40I'm a busy mom.
- 10:42I don't have time to be being sick.
- 10:44I will rotate.
- 10:44I'll do one vitamin C and then we'll do ozone and then we'll do hydrogen peroxide.
- 10:49Now, do you have to do all three?
- 10:51No, you don't, but you should do one or two of the three.
- 10:54Again, we want to bounce back, We want to really address the issue at the cellular level.
- 10:59We don't want to numb it.
- 11:01Now, aside from distilling, you should be taking some vitamin C powder.
- 11:05So this is the one that I recommend.
- 11:07Again, you should be putting that in your smoothie.
- 11:09In your green juice, because again, you cannot go wrong with vitamin C, nothing will happen to you.
- 11:15The most that could happen, you have bowel intolerance, like you go to the bathroom multiple times because things are coming out and you just have to back off of it.
- 11:22You do have to hydrate, because we don't want the kidneys Not to be able to filter the things that are going to the kidneys.
- 11:29That's how stones are formation, but not from vitamin C is from the other toxins.
- 11:33You don't have to hydrate regardless what you do.
- 11:35So vitamin C powder, I usually tell my patients, I prescribe to my patients anywhere from 5, 000 milligrams a day.
- 11:44But listen to your body, work with your doctor, to see if you need to decrease it.
- 11:49We want to feel better quicker and faster.
- 11:50We got to do it exactly what we have to do.
- 11:52So vitamin C, you do need something for inflammation and also immunity.
- 11:58Yes.
- 11:58These things are good for inflammation, but I'm talking about like herbs that are designed to decrease inflammation.
- 12:05And I have a few products here.
- 12:07I use one for body aches, cause that is.
- 12:10very important when we are fighting the viruses.
- 12:13but this one has one particular product that I looked at, which is besides turmeric, quercetin, but this one also has borrelia, which is really good for inflammation.
- 12:24I also, depending on the symptoms and the severity of the symptoms, will use another product that has perillia, which is again, all of the Chinese herbs that are very powerful, and stefania extract.
- 12:38really good for inflammation.
- 12:40So we sometimes I will choose that one more often if the patients have a lot more symptoms and the symptoms are literally taken over their lives.
- 12:50And we also use an immune component.
- 12:54Part of tea that I give my patients to drink at night as well, too.
- 12:57So again, you work with your doctor, you don't have to use all of that.
- 13:00But these are the tools that I have in my toolbox to help my patients bounce back from cold and flu without medications.
- 13:07Now, the tea that I use, I use an herbalist out in California that sends me my tea.
- 13:13I am deep into herbs to help my patients recover from all symptoms.
- 13:18and I love the tea because it's not a pill, you know, swallowing a pill, but it's something that you can take at night before bed, You can make a cup of tea and drink it and have those herbs do a lot more work.
- 13:30And the one that I use also helps with lung, improve circulations, improve, decrease axillary stress also helps with nerves as well, because when we are.
- 13:40going through those cold and flu symptoms, we can be a little anxious, We can be a little nervous and also help with sleep.
- 13:46So that's the immunity.
- 13:48Now every single person, including myself, need to have a viral blend.
- 13:53Like in your cabinet, every single person, I have one, when I have family members coming to visit, I will give them a pill.
- 14:00I'm like, Hey, it's a virus season right now.
- 14:03Everybody's getting sick with a virus.
- 14:05I know you're not sick, but take this because that's going to help you even support your immune cells, your immune system, so that you don't get sick.
- 14:12They always say, thank you, Dr.
- 14:14Gentile.
- 14:14So your viral blend that you should have in your cabinet all year long should have one important ingredient, and that's endographis.
- 14:25Endographis is a Chinese herb, so it's a bitter herb that is so powerful.
- 14:30What endographis does, it prevents the virus from sticking to your cells.
- 14:35Cause virus?
- 14:36Manifests different in the bacteria, they take over your cells, So they change your DNA into RNA.
- 14:42We don't want that.
- 14:43That is why it is harder to treat a viral infection than it is to treat a bacteria infection.
- 14:49That is why if we have a cold today, you might have a cold tomorrow.
- 14:52We might have a cold next week.
- 14:53If you only taking medications for your cold, I guarantee you didn't get rid of the cold.
- 14:59You name your symptoms and that's it.
- 15:01If you are to face with, you know, life and stress situations, that call will come back.
- 15:06I have patients that have been sick every other week.
- 15:09Every month they keep getting sick.
- 15:10Why?
- 15:10Because they never really address the problem.
- 15:13They never really address the symptoms.
- 15:14They never really address the real causes, They've just been prescribed medications, they've been taken over the counter just to get some relief, which is great.
- 15:22We can do that, but we don't want to be sick every month or three, four times a year.
- 15:27That is not normal.
- 15:29So I'm telling you today, do the things that you need to do to address the problem so that you don't have to spend more time, more energy, more money later on.
- 15:38So recap for allergies, use an allergy blend as a product.
- 15:44If you're interested, reach out to me, we can send you the product, or you can take that information to your doctor.
- 15:49The number one ingredient you should look for that I found to be very beneficial In my allergy blend product is Indian tinospora, which is an herb.
- 15:59It helps decrease histamine and allow your cells to recover and also help decrease inflammation.
- 16:06And then we talked about IV vitamin therapy, high dose vitamin C, crucial, ozone therapy, very beneficial, and hydrogen peroxide.
- 16:16You need to do one or two or three of those drips if you want to feel better quicker and faster.
- 16:21It's really up to you.
- 16:22cause sometimes I feel like patients will wait until they get worse.
- 16:26By the time you, you get worse, you're going to spend more money, more time in it.
- 16:29The healing process will be longer.
- 16:32So the minute you start feeling under the weather, you don't feel like yourself and you have, you start feeling the tiredness and the sluggishness, go to your doctor and start implementing some of these things.
- 16:41We're doing something that you take every day.
- 16:44Put in your smoothies, put in your green juice.
- 16:47Put in clear water and that's the vitamin C.
- 16:51We also have to address inflammation.
- 16:54Yes, the vitamin C and the ozone and hydrogen peroxide, but you're only doing that drip once, maybe twice a week.
- 17:01So we need to really load your cells with the herbs that they need to decrease inflammation, to bounce back and restore and repair and rejuvenate quicker and faster and feel your best in less than a week.
- 17:13That's the goal.
- 17:14So, as I mentioned, I have some inflammatory products here that I use for my patients and the ingredient you should be looking for is stefania extract and also perilla extract.
- 17:25Again, can't release, tell you the products because I'm not truly new on this video.
- 17:30Work with your doctor.
- 17:31And then a viral herbal blend.
- 17:33And yes, it can have echinacea.
- 17:35It can have elderberries.
- 17:37These are okay herbs, but the number one ingredient that you need in your viral herbal blend is endographis.
- 17:44Again, endographics is powerful, powerful, powerful.
- 17:48so tell me exactly what you are doing to eliminate your cold, flu, allergy symptoms.
- 17:55Like what herbs are you using?
- 17:57And I know many patients are doing teas, you know, garlic and, peppermint tea is like, what exactly are you doing?

- 18:08We can do more of this content so that I can show you all your options you have out there.
- 18:14we don't want to have multiple options, We don't want to put everything in one basket.
- 18:19They have medications, have it, purpose in life.
- 18:23But again, if you only focus and depend on medications, you're really not fixing the problems.
- 18:28Yes.
