Michael's Herbal Consult

Michael got in to see Jelena last Saturday, and she had some immediate recommendations for him. He said that she wants him to boost his immune system first and foremost, which will help get his body working at optimum levels in all areas.

Her recommendations were as follows:

  • Change in diet--more fresh fruits & vegetables and fewer peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for lunch. :)


  • 1 tablespoon cod liver oil 1x/day


  • 1 4,000 IU vitamin D drop every other day


  • Herbal formula in powdered form


  • FertilAid fertility supplement

He already got started taking the cod liver oil . . . we were both a little nervous about buying it at first, because it's pricey and we worried he wouldn't be able to keep it down. But the Carlson's brand with the "great lemon flavor" was true to its word. Michael says it's really not that bad at all. I still haven't gotten brave enough to try it though. :)

He's taking the vitamin D drops too, and says they are tasteless. I think the vitamin D is supposed to help with the formation of sperm, as is the FertilAid supplement which we haven't yet ordered.

I feel good knowing that both of our needs are now being addressed, and I am hopeful for the future!
