Back in 2006, Orthomolecular.org released this quote in a news article:
“(OMNS, April 26, 2006) New clinical reports from Zambia, Uganda and South Africa indicate that AIDS may be stopped by nutritional supplementation. A number of members of the medical profession have observed that high doses of the trace element selenium, and of the amino acids cysteine, tryptophan, and glutamine can together rapidly reverse the symptoms of AIDS, as predicted by Dr. Harold D. Foster’s nutritional hypothesis. (1)
These nutrients are necessary for the human body to produce the enzyme glutathione peroxidase. This enzyme is strongly antiretroviral (it is an antagonist of reverse transcriptase) and can greatly reduce HIV replication.”
In an article on treating “long covid” by Mercola, we read:
“:Spike protein neutralizers, which prevent the spike from damaging cells, include Nacetylcysteine (NAC), glutathione, fennel tea, star anise tea, pine needle tea, St.
John’s wort, comfrey tea and vitamin C.”
From an article on neutracuticals:
Nutraceuticals have potential for boosting the type 1 interferon response to RNA viruses including influenza and coronavirus
Mark F. McCartya, James J. DiNicolantoniob, ⁎

b Mid America Heart Institute, St. Luke’s Hospital, United States of America
” In a little-noticed 6-month controlled clinical study enrolling 262 primarily elderly subjects, those receiving 600 mg NAC twice daily, as opposed to those receiving placebo, experienced significantly fewer influenza-like episodes and days of bed confinement.19 Although the rate of seroconversion to influenza A was comparable in the two groups – indicating that they were exposed at the same frequency – only 25% of the virus-infected subjects in the NAC group developed symptoms, as contrasted to 79% of those of placebo. (Given the carnage that influenza wreaks among the elderly, it is most regrettable that no effort has been made to replicate this study, conducted over 20 years ago.) The particular utility of NAC in the elderly might reflect the fact that plasma cysteine levels and cellular glutathione levels tend to decline with advancing age20 Since selenium is an essential cofactor for certain peroxidases, and selenium deficiency has been endemic in certain regions of China and other parts of the world, insuring adequacy of selenium nutrition might also be appropriate in this context21 Not surprisingly, influenza is more pathogenic in selenium-deficient mice, and selenium deficiency also increases the rate at which viruses can mutate, promoting the evolution of strains that are more pathogenic and capable of evading immune surveillance22″
This same article goes on to suggest:
“Table 1
Provisional daily dosage suggestions for nutraceuticals that might aid control of RNA viruses including influenza and coronavirus
Ferulic acid 500-1,000 mg Lipoic acid 1,200-1,800 mg (in place of ferulic acid) Spirulina 15 g (or 100 mg PCB) N-Acetylcysteine 1,200–1,800 mg Zinc 30-50 mg Selenium 50-100 mcg Glucosamine 3,000 mg or more Yeast Beta-Glucan 250-500 mg Elderberry 600–1,500 mg “
In another article by Mercola, Dr McCullough shared a list of “long covid” symptoms, then followed that with the following:
“These symptoms are a result of damage to the following body systems:
Pulmonary/lungs
Immune/allergy
Mitochondria/energy system
Heart
Central/Peripheral nervous system
According to McCullough, a paper presented by Dr. Bruce Patterson at the International COVID Summit in Rome, September 12 to 14, 2021, showed that in “individuals who’ve had significant COVID illness, 15 months later the s1 segment of the spike protein is recoverable from human monocytes.”
The same article goes on to share:
“Dr. Johnson recommends several supplements to support healing from long COVID.
Among them:
Vitamin C, because it helps calm down inflammation
Vitamin D, for both prevention and long haulers
Glutathione, because it helps calm down inflammatory processes
N-acetylcysteine (NAC), a precursor to glutathione”
In an article Mercola wrote around the made-up term “tripledemic” that mainstream media was using to describe the winter viral scene, he wrote near the end of his article:
“Dr. Johnson recommends several supplements to support healing from long COVID.
Among them:
Vitamin C, because it helps calm down inflammation
Vitamin D, for both prevention and long haulers
Glutathione, because it helps calm down inflammatory processes
N-acetylcysteine (NAC), a precursor to glutathione”
An article from Mercola on Artemisia had this to say:
“There have been several studies that showed artemisinin had a promising role in the inhibition of viruses. In addition, the plant has high levels of zinc, gallium and selenium. Zinc is known to stop the replication of the virus in the cell; gallium reduces forms of cytokines that raise the inflammatory response; and selenium regulates the concentration of CD4 lymphocytes.
Further Demonstration of Antiviral Activity
A collaborative effort between researchers at Columbia University, University of Washington and Worcester Polytechnic Institute demonstrated that a hot water extract of Artemisia annua had antiviral activity against SARS-CoV-2. The extracts were tested on the virus propagated in human cells. The researchers used extracts from four different continents, all of which demonstrated antiviral activity against the SARS-CoV-2. The study published in June 2021 revealed that the hot water extract of Artemisia stopped the replication of the virus, including two new variants. Although it did not appear to block viral entry into the cell, the extract did decrease the inflammatory response and blocked infection after entry. Additionally, in this study, the extract from one dried leaf sample over 12 years old was still effective.”
Other sources of selenium include butter and mushrooms. Mushrooms also contain zinc. Onions contain Vitamin C, zinc and selenium.
Mercola recommends foods high in zinc and selenium, including pasture-raised beef or chicken, pasture-raised eggs, pumpkin seeds, Brazil nuts and sardines.
In an article he wrote on Glyphosate, this observation was made:
“Glyphosate also inhibits the shikimate pathway, which is involved in the synthesis of the essential aromatic amino acids phenylalanine, tyrosine and tryptophan.”
I was fascinated by the idea that our bodies have something called “the shikimate pathway”! I remember when shikimate first became public knowledge around treatment during the pandemic, and researching the various foods that contain the compound. Discovering that glycosphate disrupts this pathway isn’t nice! All the more reason to be eating your glycine-containing foods which also include pumpkins and mushrooms. Glycine disrupts glyocosphate!
In an interview Mercola had one time, it was observed that the B vitamins and their derivatives that are often referred to as nicotinic acid (niacinamide, a version of B3 being one of several), and the amino acid Tryptophan, are external ingredients for the body’s creation of NAD, a compound used in cellular DNA repair
The amino acid, Glutamine, feeds your immune cells, and is generated from muscle. Muscle is built using proteins that you get in your diet, ideally from animal sources, but for those who can’t break down animal proteins, the lectins in plants, most heavily from beans and legumes will provide less accessible versions of the 9 essential amino acids.
As it’s been observed by researchers studying long covid, it appears the biggest problem with persistence in the human body comes from the gut where it proliferates after being swallowed from the upper respiratory system (your nose and throat). Glutamine has been observed to help the small intestine maintain it’s membrane barrier, maintain microbial balance, soothe inflammation, and improve immune function.
In a 2005 article by Orthomolecular.org, glutamine is also produced in the kidney and liver. Glutamine contributes to neurofunctional health and has been described as fuel for the brain. Interestingly, the authors of that article noted that glutamine reduces physiological cravings for alcohol.
Returning back to our original quote from the 2006 article and carrying on:
“(OMNS, April 26, 2006) New clinical reports from Zambia, Uganda and South Africa indicate that AIDS may be stopped by nutritional supplementation. A number of members of the medical profession have observed that high doses of the trace element selenium, and of the amino acids cysteine, tryptophan, and glutamine can together rapidly reverse the symptoms of AIDS, as predicted by Dr. Harold D. Foster’s nutritional hypothesis. (1)
These nutrients are necessary for the human body to produce the enzyme glutathione peroxidase. This enzyme is strongly antiretroviral (it is an antagonist of reverse transcriptase) and can greatly reduce HIV replication. Unfortunately, HIV has developed the ability to compete with the body for these four nutrients because shortages of them allow its more effective replication. Specifically, HIV has a gene that allows it to produce an analogue of glutathione peroxidase.
Diets high in selenium, cysteine, tryptophan and glutamine seem to have two major benefits for AIDS patients:
They replace these four nutrients in the body, correcting the deficiencies HIV has caused. AIDS is what we call these combined deficiency symptoms. High levels of these four key nutrients push up the body’s glutathione peroxidase levels, making it much more difficult for HIV to replicate. This enzyme also beneficially interferes with the replication of Hepatitis B and C. Nutritionally treated patients are still HIV-positive, but seem to generally remain in good health unless they start to eat a diet that once again is poor in one or more of these nutrients. If this occurs, glutathione peroxidase levels fall, HIV begins to be replicated and the AIDS cycle begins again.”
Contrast the date of the above article with the quote from a Mercola article on zinc, below:
“The role of zinc in the fight against coronaviruses has been known since at least 2010”
We now know of other nutrients that have been in the fight for as long if not longer. This 2006 article, short as it is, contains useful information. It was discovered that an HIV variant was seen as the best viral distributor of RNA vaccines, and heavily sold to university research labs for that purpose. I found a 2014 brochure for the “product”.
It is not lost on me, that many of the symptoms of AIDS are now present in those who took the jabs, and in those who claim to be covid long-haulers. Some refer to the auto-immune problem as VAIDS, short for vaccine-acquired immunity deficiency syndrome.
When we compare the functions of the various nutrients that successfully brought AIDS patients back to a reasonably normal immunity function, to the symptoms people claim to be having around long covid or adverse events from the shots, it is reasonable to conclude that VAIDS is a thing and should be treated the same way as AIDS.
Many scoffed at the supposed origins of AIDS back when it was running around in the late ’80’s/early ’90’s, and considering the efforts scientists seem to still be using now, the scoffing may be fully justified with what we’ve unearthed around covid in the past three years.
But one has to wonder what the fascination is with releasing test runs on the gay crowd?! Why are they seemingly always starting with them?! They started with them in the first round of AIDS development, tried to make HIV mainstream now by using the HIV variant for delivery of the RNA vaxx against covid, THEN target the gay community again with a fizzled resurgence of monkey pox. It’s as if somehow, they view that community as a bunch of lab rats, yet I am not hearing any pushback from that community around this issue! Scripture does say they will develop health problems related to their sin against their own bodies, but one might be forgiven for thinking scientists have taken that reality and used it as cover for experimentation. Why use insane assylums and prison camps when you have a community running free to test on?!
But with the lack of ethical and moral decision-making comes the revelation that these same scientists may have overplayed their hand and we now have treatment solutions for supposedly unrelated conditions that aren’t supposed to resemble previous experiments! We aren’t supposed to draw these particular lines between the dots.
Sometimes, what’s good for the goose IS good for the gander! If they can “normalize” HIV health issues, we can normalize VAIDS nutritional regimens!
