How to Block Viral Acquisition and Replication
Using my training in functional and clinical nutrition I am going to explain how to supply safe and effective nutrients to block viral infection, and if already infected, to block viral replication.
Vitamin D is safe and even more effective at preventing ICU hospitalization.
The Efficacy of Vitamin D Against COVID:
A study in the Journal of Clinical Medicine showed that vitamin D deficiency is unacceptably common (81%) in patients presenting with COVID-19 infection.
“We observed that only 19% of COVID-19 outpatients had vitamin D levels corresponding to sufficiency (≥30 ng/mL)”
This study in The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism had a treatment group who was given a small loading dose of D3 in the form of cholecalciferol followed by lower doses in the following days (532 μg on day 1 plus 266 μg on days 3, 7, 15, and 30).
“treated patients had an 87% reduced risk of requiring the ICU.”
Another study in The Journal of Steroid Biochemistry and Molecular Biology showed that of the hospitalized COVID-19 patients who received a bolus of 80,000 IU of vitamin D3 (I don’t recommend), 83.5% survived compared to only 44.4 % in the comparator group.
Much of this protocol comes from education from Dr. Alex Vasquez, DO, ND, DC, Dr. Vladimir Zelenko, MD, and my own research into the scientific literature.
Dosages are for adults who weigh about 160 lbs. Please adjust dosage accordingly, and feel free to reach out for support.
For an easy stack in one simple pill (it doesn’t have everything, but it’s pretty good), get the Z stack here.
These powerful antiviral strategies of functional and clinical nutrition have been shown to block acquisition of viruses as well as to prevent replication of viruses, keeping you strong and viruses weak, helping to prevent infection and reducing transmission.
You can learn more about the science of these claims here and in Dr. V’s Antiviral Strategies book.
– Acute Infection Protocol (in order of importance)
- 20,000 IU Vitamin D3 1x/day
- 50-60 mg Zinc 1-2x/day
- 10,000 IU Vitamin A (3,000 mcg retinol) 1x/day
- 600mcg Selenium 1x/day
- 600-1200 mg Quercetin + Nettles 3-4x/day
- 4,000 mg NAC 3-4x/day
- 3g Vitamin C 1-4x/day, discontinue for the day if bowel tolerance is reached.
– Chronic Infection Protocol
- 10,000 IU/day Vitamin D3 1x/day
- 20-60 mg Zinc 1x/day
- 400mcg Selenium 1x/day
- 10,000 IU Vitamin A (3,000 mcg retinol) 1x/day
- 600-1200 mg Quercetin + Nettles 2x/day
- 2,000-3,000 mg NAC 1-2x/day
- 2g Vitamin C 2x/day (vitamin C enhances iron absorption so be careful if you have iron overload), discontinue for the day if bowel tolerance is reached.
– Preventative Protocol and prevention of mRNA vaccine injury
- 4,000-10,000 IU Vitamin D3 1x/day
- 10,000 IU Vitamin A (3,000 mcg retinol) 1x/day
- 20-60 mg Zinc 1x/day
- 100-200mcg Selenium 1x/day
- 600mg Quercetin + Nettles 1x/day
- 600mg NAC 1x/day
