Boosting the Immune System During Flu Season
Swine flu shots are scarce, and getting a regular flu shot is becoming difficult as well, so people are now trying to figure out if there is a decent alternative out there.
Waltham-based pharmacist, Dr. Gary Kracoff, manager of the Health and Wellness Center in Johnson Compounding has been getting 40 to 50 calls per day, including calls from doctors.

With the limited availability of the swine flu shot, it is essential for preventative measures during this flu season. In this video clip from Fox 25 Morning News, Dr. Kracoff discusses some natural alternatives to over the counter cold and flu medications. For the category of enzymes, Dr. Kracoff’s sole recommendations were Enzymedica’s products, ViraStop2x and MucoStop.
ViraStop 2X™ employs a unique ultra high potency blend of protease enzymes in place of the herbs and nutraceuticals found in many products in the wellness category. ViraStop 2X contains Enzymedica’s Thera-blend™ of eight different proteases chosen for their unique proteolytic abilities. Taken on an empty stomach, the protease enzymes found in ViraStop 2X can reduce the burden on the immune system, promoting the breakdown and elimination of proteins in the bloodstream, aiding optimal immune function.
MucoStop™ is a blend of proteolytic enzymes to help reduce the effects of histamine-induced inflammation. The purpose of MucoStop is to support normal mucus function while helping to speed the breakdown and removal of inappropriate mucus. Mucolase, one of the enzymes in MucoStop , is a proteolytic enzyme (breaks down protein) that has mucolytic properties, meaning it targets and hydrolyzes inappropriate or excess mucus.
