| Aglycon | Aglycon is shown to inhibit several viruses. It is found in many types of berries and in green tea. | Compounds | COVID, H. Pylori, HIV, HSV, Staph, Viruses | compounds | covid h-pylori hiv hsv staph viruses | |||
| Artemesinin | Artemesinin, or Wormwood, is an antimalarial drug which acts as an AKT inhibitor. 1 This makes it able to fight against cancer cells as well. 2 AKT inhibitors show promise in fighting HSV outbreaks by blocking the virus’s access to Calcium. This same action is likely to impact other viruses as well, such as Covid and HIV. 3 References | Herbs | Cancer, COVID, HIV, HSV, Malaria | CKD, Kidneys | herbs | cancer covid hiv hsv malaria | ckd kidneys | |
| Ashwaganda | Ashwaganda is a member of the nightshade family. It shows antibacterial activity against gram-positive bacteria such as Staph, Enterrococcus, and Streptococcus. 1 And also gram-negative bacteria such as Salmonella and Pseudomonas. 2 It also has antifungal properties, and is active against Candida Albicans. 2 It shows potential in treating malaria, diabetes, and cancer. However, because it increase testosterone, it should be avoided in those being treated for prostate cancer. 2 It increases sperm count and reduces FSH levels. In women, it increases arousal, lubrication, and orgasm. 2 It protects the cardiovascular system. It is also anti-inflammatory and antioxidant. 2 It also helps with stress, anxiety, insomnia, depression, schizophrenia, and hormone balance. 2 It helps build muscle. It might even be effective against COVID. 2 It may be useful in treating Hypothyroid conditions. That being said, it can exacerbate Hyperthyroid, so be mindful of each condition. 2 It increases GABA and reduces dopamine, which can be beneficial or harmful depending on the situation. GABA can excite or inhibit the nerves, and reduced dopamine can have an impact on clinical depression, for example. 2 Because it reduces the functioning of the HPA axis, it may speed aging rather than slowing it down. Supplementing with DHEA may help counteract this issue. 2 Those with autoimmune disease should avoid Ashwaganda altogether, because it boost immune activity and also is a member of the nightshade family. 2 Interactions: Ashwagandha root may interact with anti-anxiety, sleep, myorelaxant and sedative preparations, exacerbating their effects due to synergism. The raw material exhibits additive effects with anticonvulsants, barbiturates, and benzodiazepines which may lead to an increase in their adverse effects, such as impaired motor coordination, muscle weakness, headache, decreased libido, muscle tremors, and drowsiness. Ashwagandha root should not be used concomitantly with immunosuppressive drugs. 2 References | Herbs | Anxiety, Bacteria, Cancer, Candida, COVID, Depression, Diabetes, Enterococcus, Fungus, Heart, Hormones, Inflammation, Insomnia, Malaria, Muscle, Nerves, Pseudomonas, Salmonella, Schizophrenia, Sexual health, Staph, Streptococcus, Stress, Thyroid | Aging, Autoimmune, Depression, Hormones, Thyroid | herbs | anxiety bacteria cancer candida covid depression diabetes enterococcus fungus heart hormones inflammation insomnia malaria muscle nerves pseudomonas salmonella schizophrenia sexual-health staph streptococcus stress thyroid | aging autoimmune depression hormones thyroid | |
| BHT | Butylated Hydroxytoluene is a synthetic preservative which prevents lipid breakdown. It has recently been discovered in natural sources such as phytoplankton. | Compounds | COVID, HIV, HSV | Breastfeeding, Hormones, Pregnancy | compounds | covid hiv hsv | breastfeeding hormones pregnancy | |
| Boron | Boron shows some promise as an inhibitor of Coronavirus. 1 2 It is especially effective when used in combination with curcumin (turmeric). 3 References | Minerals | COVID | minerals | covid | |||
| Curcumin | Curcumin is a compound found in Turmeric. It is a natural Interleukin-1 Beta inhibitor, so it has powerful anti inflammatory effects. This makes it useful in combating inflammatory diseases such as Atherosclerosis 1, HSV 2, and COVID 3. It is even more effective against Coronavirus when taken alongside Boron. 4 References

| Lb. Plantarum | Lactobacillus Plantarum has been shown not only to populate the gut, but to populate the lung as well, leading to better immunity against allergens and respiratory viruses, such as COVID 1 and Influenza. 2 References | Probiotics | Allergies, Common cold, COVID, HIV, Immunity, Influenza, Lungs, Viruses | probiotics | allergies common-cold covid hiv immunity influenza lungs viruses | |||
| Lb. Rhamnosus | Produces lactase, which is essential for the digestion of milk. Produces aglycon 1, which may be active against viruses. Boosts immunity against Influenza viruses. 2 Helps with diarrhea, antibiotic and Clostridium difficile associated diarrhea, irritable bowel syndrome, inflammatory bowel disease, respiratory tract infections, allergy, cardiovascular diseases, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, nonalcoholic steatohepatitis, cystic fibrosis, cancer, elderly end sport. 3 It can also help reduce Strep B in pregnant women. 4 References | Probiotics | Allergies, Cancer, COVID, Cystic fibrosis, Diarrhea, Heart, HIV, HSV, IBS, Influenza, Lactose intolerance, Liver, Streptococcus, Viruses | probiotics | allergies cancer covid cystic-fibrosis diarrhea heart hiv hsv ibs influenza lactose-intolerance liver streptococcus viruses | |||
| Niclosamide * | Niclosamide is a pharmaceutical drug primarily used to treat parasitic infections. Recent studies have shown is to be effective for other disease as well, such as cancer, bacterial and viral infection, metabolic diseases such as Type II diabetes, NASH and NAFLD, artery constriction, endometriosis, neuropathic pain, rheumatoid arthritis, sclerodermatous graft-versus-host disease, and systemic sclerosis. 1 2 References | Drugs * | Bacteria, Cancer, COVID, Diabetes, Ebola, Endometriosis, HIV, HSV, Neuropathy, Parasites, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Rhinovirus, Systemic Sclerosis, Viruses, Zika | drugs | bacteria cancer covid diabetes ebola endometriosis hiv hsv neuropathy parasites rheumatoid-arthritis rhinovirus systemic-sclerosis viruses zika | |||
| Ozone | Ozone shows great potential for wound healing, and has inti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial, and anti-viral properties. 1 Ozone can be applied as a gas, but there are also ozonated oils that are available for easier at-home treatment. It may be effective for treating Lichen Sclerosis and Balanitis Xerotica Obliterans. 2 It also shows promise in treating postherpetic neuralgia 3, Herpes virus, COVID, and Hepatitis C. 4 Ozone increases efficacy of antivirals, so it is best used in combination with antiviral therapy. 4 Ozone is potentially harmful when inhaled, so use caution not to breathe deeply into the lungs. 4 References | Compounds | Bacteria, Balanitis, Candida, COVID, HCV, HSV, Inflammation, Lichen Sclerosis, Neuropathy, Viruses, Wounds | Lungs | compounds | bacteria balanitis candida covid hcv hsv inflammation lichen-sclerosis neuropathy viruses wounds | lungs | |
| Quercetin | Quercetin is a natural Interleukin-1 Beta inhibitor, so it has powerful anti inflammatory effects. This makes it useful in combating inflammatory diseases such as Atherosclerosis 1, HSV 2, and COVID 3.
