Viral Infections: Part 3—Clearing the Bugs Naturally

Woman with Strong Immune System

Hello Reader,

In this series, I've been discussing a key problem that comes with having CFS, FMS and Long COVID. Namely, your immune system is on the fritz. So, you're vulnerable to lots of different kinds of chronic infections. Making it even worse, there are no reliable tests for many of them.

It can get pretty crazy making.

But most of these aren't heavy-duty inflections. They're like yapping little dogs that normally you'd just shoo away. Unless 10 of them decide to jump you at once, in which case they can be overwhelming. Fortunately, if you can take action to rid yourself of even a few of these bugs, then your body can handle most of the others on its own.

Plants and animals in nature face the same problem. They have to fight off a wide array of viruses, fungi, parasites and bacteria. The good news? They learned a trick that we can follow!

Some compounds in nature have broad defensive power against many of these different bugs all at the same time. Over time, plants have learned how to use them—and so can we! Below is a "recipe" that I recommend in addition to the multivitamin powder. This combination can dramatically help keep your immune system as strong as it can be and keep you from going crazy, trying to battle that pack of yapping "dog bugs" all at once.

The Recipe

 I start with three key supplements:

  1. Berberine (use the Terry Naturally® form), 500 mg 2-3 times a day for 12 weeks.
  2. Lactoferrin with Propolis Extract, 1 tablet 1-2 times a day (also use the Terry Naturally form)  for 12 weeks.
  3. Pearls Elite™ Probiotic, long term once a day.

If needed, all the above can be used long term. I consider 3 months to be a fair trial to see if they help. If so, I will continue for 6 months total, and then as needed. They can be combined with antibiotics, antivirals, and antifungals.
