Causal chain: At first glance it was assumed that high adrenal secretions
were suppressing his immune system, but upon further questioning it was
revealed that at the age of 15 he had a severe chest infection (which included
haemoptysis) and subsequent bronchitis and pneumonia.
It appears as if this early illness has left his lungs susceptible to insult.
He doesn’t smoke and has a healthy diet.
Lifestyle advice given (& your observations / comments): Again the patient
had a healthy lifestyle, and as long as he was sure to shower immediately
after exercise he remained healthy. It was suggested that he keep an eye on
his stress levels but he was, in general, quite a relaxed individual.
This mix was a nice balance of adaptogen, immune enhancing and mucous
membrane protector/restorative.
Other comments: The patient presented with minimal health problems but
was still open to the idea of preventative medicine.
