The following diet, nutrition, and lifestyle measures have been clinically shown to dramatically reduce viral load, speed healing, and improve health when followed long-term. The information is derived largely from Anthony William, the best-selling author of Medical Medium, as well as my 30+ years of clinical experience. Most people harbor various viruses and don’t know it. Some are silent and pose no threat,while others are a root of many chronic conditions, including autoimmunity, cardiovascular problems, and cancer. A medical database search such as PubMed, ScienceDirect, or Googlescholar verifies this with hundreds of published, peer-reviewed studies. Reasons why this critical information is not widely shared might include: corporate interest conflict, and no effective medical and pharmaceutical options. But there are amazing natural and effective support strategies that are free of side effects, that you can start now.
By choosing the right foods to eat, which ones to avoid, and taking advantage of immune-boosting, anti-viral ingredients found in Mother Nature’s pharmacy, many people find their health restored. Ideally, this is a lifestyle change. This not a ‘quick fix’, but a deep, long-term restoration plan that nourishes, cleanses, and regenerates. If there are limitations such as food allergies, taste, meal planning and preparation, or finances, just do the best you can. For serious health concerns, or the motivated patient, the more you’re able to do, and the longer you do it, the healthier you can become. If your goal is only prevention, you might choose less. The best news is the program is healthy for everyone, and it’s safe. If you are pregnant, nursing, or taking a prescription medicine, talk to your doctor first. Remember, it’s OK to take occasional breaks, and you don’t have to do every recommendation in each category, but choose the most you can do long-term for best success.
Eggs, all dairy products, canola oil, corn, any GMO food, flour products, high-fructose corn syrup, sugar, refined fructose, high-protein or high-fat diets (many paleo plans, ketogenic, Atkins). Bonus: avoid all gluten, especially if you have an autoimmune or brain condition.
Eggs,dairy, and corn specifically feed viruses. Refined sweets and flours feed cancer cells and rob nutrients. Gluten promotes inflammation. OK, so be a label reader. Many people don’t realize that eggs are often in bread, mayonnaise, salad dressings, and much more. Same with dairy, canola, corn, etc. The point is, the less of it you eat, the less you feed your pathogens. High protein diets don’t digest well and create denatured proteins in the gut, and high fat diets reduce oxygen delivery to cells. This does not mean to avoid all fat and protein. Avocado, raw nuts and seeds, coconut oil, olives and olive oil are healthy fats. Just eat them in moderation. Same thing with protein. Focus on plant sources of protein (see next category) and less animal protein, which are acidifying and contain excessive naturally-produced hormones. This is true even with ‘free range, pastured, organic’ eggs and dairy. Ideally eat none, or very little. Do your best. For herpes viruses, avoid chocolate and peanuts (high arginine).

FOODS TO EAT:Eat organic whenever possible. Berries of all types - especially WILD frozen blueberries, apples, banana, melons, mango, papaya, oranges, lemons, limes, nectarines, tangerines, kiwi, red grapes, figs, dates, raisins, asparagus, broccoli, cabbage, coconuts & coconut oil, cucumber, all green leafy veggies (especially spinach, kale, romaine, butter lettuce, chard, arugula, dandelion, macha, bok choy), microgreens (radish, mustard, kale), bell pepper, celery, cilantro, Atlantic dulse(seaweed), fresh garlic, mushrooms(especially shitake and maitake), purple potato, sweet potato, yam, sprouts (especially broccoli and pea shoots), tomato. NOTE: quinoa, millet, black beans, wild rice, steel cut oats, and black rice are good starches, with decent protein, even though not anti-viral. These provide nice options if some of your favorite foods are now off the menu. If you eat animal protein, consider wild Alaskan salmon (fresh, frozen, or canned), free-range turkey, sardines, sole, or cod.
Juicing is a wonderful option. Celery, cucumber, apple, and cilantro (or parsley) is a great base. Adding some ginger, spinach, or cabbage makes it even more powerful. If extra greens create bitterness, add ½ fresh lime! Get creative. Aim for 16oz or more each day, if you’re able. Drink it fresh if possible. If you don’t have a juicer, a Vitamix or Nutribullet is fine, but add water or coconut water as it’s thicker. The next best option is buying ready-made green juices at a health food store.
br/p> HERBS & SPICES:Fresh thyme, rosemary, sage, and oregano are best. Also mint and basil. These can be taken right off the plant, or purchased in the store in small plastic containers. Once harvested, most will last a week or more stored in the refrigerator, except basil. Use in salads, soups, stir fry, veggie juices, or baked dishes. Mint is great over fruit. Cardamom, coriander, cumin, clove, and fennel are wonderful, especially if you have digestive concerns. Turmeric and ginger are two major spices, and can be used either in powder form or fresh grated into foods or smoothies. Just find ways to get this stuff into the diet.
Lemon balm, nettle, elderflower, licorice, rose hips, yarrow, mullein, eyebright, and red root. Find either in singular form or in any combination, in bags or loose. The more the better.
Zinc (citrate, picolinate, or liquid forms), vitamin C (as Ester-C or liposomal), lysine, cats claw, olive leaf extract, echinacea, oregano oil, CoQ10, Hawaiian spirulina powder, barley grass juice powder, mushroom extracts of coriolus, cordyceps, maitake, chaga or reishi; ACS 200 Silver or Argentyn-23 Silver. Manuka honey is a huge immune boost and anti-infective.Look for a high bioactive number on the bottle of 100 or more. Essential oils of lemon, tea tree, lavender, myrrh, thyme, peppermint, and oregano used in a diffuser, a bath, dropped onto shower floor, or rubbed into the soles of the feet. A few drops of one or more. If using on the skin, mix with ½ -1 tsp. of a ‘carrier oil’ like jojoba, grapeseed, or coconut. NOTE: doses are not provided. Everyone responds differently. It’s best to start low then ramp up if needed.
