Minimum supplements include Vitamins D, C, A, fish/krill oil, and no more than 400 IU of Vitamin E a day


Eat dark green veggies and deeply-colored fruits for their antioxidents


Eat or drink a probiotic every day


Limit alcohol consumption to no more than two standard drinks a day. Red wine is best.


Get good quality sleep


Meditate/pray every day


Don't smoke


Don't abuse drugs


Come to think of it, these are things we all should do or avoid every day anyway!

Unabated Fever

Answer to Why won't my fever go away even after taking medication from the doctor? by Michael Mangold

The primary answer is that the antibiotic isn't working. It may be due to several reasons including local drug resistance and wrong coverage for that specific bacterium. If the fever hasn't abated after 3–4 days of therapy, go back to your doctor.

Other reasons include that you have a viral infection instead, and lastly that your doc doesn't know what's really going on. I would call that “ignorance” or 'lack of experience” before labeling them a “quack.”
