How about when you are sick? Should we use immune stimulants for short periods of time?

Excellent question. The answers are only theoretical, but you dont want to boost neutrophils or macrophages as these are destructive forces to rosacea sufferers. You can boost other cell types, but rosacea is a neutrophilic disorder so stay away from those "shrooms" that boost neutrophils, macrophages or phagocytes.
Short term for colds may be good but excessive doses for more than a couple weeks may exacerbate rosacea... and here you thought it was from the cold symptoms.
