This list is not meant to make you feel overwhelmed trying to follow it verbatim. We understand that it can be difficult to fit an entire list of supplements into your daily regimen. Additionally, the prices of herbs and supplements can quickly add up, and you may be on a tight budget. If you can only afford a few of them, it’s best to try to incorporate the top five supplements from this list into your life. If you’re more financially flexible, expand your scope to include additional supplements with descriptions that match your health needs. If you’re sensitive to certain supplements or like to use your intuition to guide you, take a look at the list and see how you can apply what feels right to you.
You may be constantly wondering which form of a particular supplement is the most effective and does it matter? Yes, it does! There are subtle but sometimes critical differences between the different forms of supplements available that can affect how quickly your EBV dies, if at all, whether and how quickly your central nervous system recovers, and how long it takes for your thyroid to heal. The type of supplement you choose can make or break your progress. To speed up your recovery, you need the right types of supplements. That’s why you can check out Anthony William’s supplement directory ( https://www.medicalmedium.com/preferred/supplements ) for the best forms of each of the supplements listed below.
Vitamin B12 (as adenosylcobalamin and methylcobalamin) : It is extremely important to get enough B12, as this vitamin, which is deficient in almost everyone, protects the entire body from damage caused by the neurotoxins of the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV ). B12 provides special support and repair to the central nervous and endocrine systems and helps strengthen the neurotransmitter chemicals in the brain so that it can stay strong against EBV. This vitamin also strengthens your immune system, stimulates you mentally and emotionally, and helps with methylation problems and reducing homocysteine levels. Over time, the right kind of B12 can even reverse the diagnosis of the MTHFR gene mutation because it removes the damage in the body that causes false positives in tests for this gene mutation. For more detailed information on the healing benefits of vitamin B12, read the articles: “Why B12?” and “Shock therapy with vitamin B12” .
Zinc (as liquid zinc sulfate) : This supplement provides a significant boost to the immune system by strengthening white blood cells such as lymphocytes, basophils, neutrophils, eosinophils, macrophages, and monocytes so that they can seek out and destroy EBV cells. Zinc itself is also an antiseptic for EBV, so taking it suppresses viral growth in the body while reducing inflammation and the growth of nodules, tumors, and cysts (both cancerous and benign). Zinc strengthens the thyroid and stabilizes the adrenal glands. Don’t be afraid that taking zinc will deplete your body’s copper levels. Zinc deficiency is a major problem in fighting EBV, and avoiding zinc hinders healing. Read more about the importance of zinc for the body and its healing properties in the articles: “Zinc: a mineral of paramount importance for health” and “Shock therapy with zinc - a healing practice for adults and children” .
Vitamin C (as Micro-C) : Vitamin C strengthens the entire immune system, especially the killer cells that hunt down pathogens like EBV. One of the goals of EBV, especially in stage four, is to deplete the body’s vitamin C levels. Therefore, it is important to get enough of this nutrient to balance the activity of the virus. Vitamin C destroys EBV in the liver, flushes out its toxins that accumulate there, balances platelet production, and helps repair the central nervous system from damage caused by neurotoxins. All this while helping to reduce thyroid nodules, tumors, and cysts (both cancerous and benign), and also supports and repairs the adrenal glands. For more information, read the articles: “Healing Benefits of Vitamin C” and “Shock Therapy with Vitamin C. ”
Spirulina : This form of algae (in powder or capsules) is an incredible ally in rebuilding the central nervous system and removing heavy metals like mercury and toxic copper from the liver, reproductive system, intestinal tract, thyroid, and brain. By getting rid of these metals, you are getting rid of some of EBV ’s favorite foods. Spirulina helps rebuild the thyroid for two reasons: (1) its important trace elements nourish healthy thyroid tissue and have a restorative effect on it; (2) its iodine content acts very effectively as an antiseptic against EBV cells in the thyroid, which reduces the viral load there so that the thyroid can heal. Spirulina may also reduce the growth of nodules, tumors, and cysts (both cancerous and benign).
Cat’s Claw : This herb, which has phytochemicals specifically targeted to kill all viruses and bacteria that cause inflammation – especially EBV and its cofactor streptococci – has a wonderful anti-inflammatory effect. By reducing the number of EBV cells, it helps shrink enlarged spleens, livers and thyroids, while also destroying EBV-induced nodules, tumors and cysts (both cancerous and benign) in the thyroid and liver. For more on this beneficial dietary supplement, read the article: “Medicinal Benefits of Cat’s Claw” .
Licorice Root : To destroy EBV cells in the thyroid, liver, spleen, and reproductive system, use licorice root. Not only is it amazing for taming the mononucleosis stage of EBV, but it’s one of your best friends for suppressing those second and third stage EBVs that can spread to new organs in your body as you begin to kill the virus in its original habitats. One of the most powerful herbs for adrenal gland repair and kidney support, it also reduces EBV’s cofactor, streptococci , which in turn reduces inflammation in the intestinal tract from streptococci-based conditions, such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) . For more information, see the article: “Licorice Root – A Powerful Weapon Against Pathogens” .
Lemon Balm : This pleasant and mild-tasting herb is a powerful remedy against EBV and its cofactor streptococci . It kills and repels viral and bacterial cells in the thyroid, liver, and spleen with its alkaloids and other key phytochemicals, while also helping to strengthen lymphocytes so the immune system can fight the virus. While it is amazing for the first appearance of EBV symptoms in the monophase of the virus, lemon balm will also give you a boost regardless of the phase of EBV and is great for slowing down the growth of nodules. You can learn more about this healing herb in the articles: “Lemon Balm - A Life-Changing Herb” and “Lemon Balm Shock Therapy” .
L-Lysine : By suppressing and reducing EBV viral load, this amino acid has an anti-inflammatory effect on the entire nervous system, especially the central nervous system and the vagus and phrenic nerves, which are targets of EBV neurotoxins. For more information on lysine, see the article: “Medical Benefits of L-Lysine . ”
Chaga Mushroom : Destroys EBV by expelling it from the liver and thyroid. Stimulates the liver, bringing it out of its stagnant and sluggish state while also awakening the thyroid, allowing it to improve its function. This incredible medicinal mushroom helps strengthen the adrenal glands and also helps break down and dissolve the EBV biofilm byproduct that is behind so many cases of mysterious heart palpitations. Learn more in the article: “Healing Benefits of Chaga Mushroom” .
5-MTHF (5-methyltetrahydrofolate) : Extremely useful for maintaining reproductive health compromised by EBV, this nutritional supplement will be your ally in your attempts to recover from problems caused by EBV, such as infertility, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), and endometriosis. It also helps strengthen the endocrine and central nervous systems, promotes methylation, and reduces homocysteine levels. You can learn more about this nutritional supplement in the article: “5-MTHF: B12’s Best Friend” .
Barley Grass Juice Powder : An amazing remedy for helping to eliminate mercury and other toxic heavy metals from the body. It contains specific alkaloids that help prevent thyroid atrophy while also blocking EBV from feeding on its favorite foods such as toxic heavy metals in the thyroid. For more information on this dietary supplement, see the article: “Barley Grass Juice Powder – Healing Benefits” .
Monolaurin: This antiviral agent degrades the EBV viral load and reduces its cofactors such as streptococci .
Colloidal Silver: Another powerful antiviral. Silver helps reduce Epstein-Barr viral load, especially during the chronic monophase of the virus, when EBV is active in the bloodstream.
L-Tyrosine: This amino acid nourishes healthy thyroid tissue, even when it is attacked by EBV , so that the gland can continue to produce thyroid hormones.
Ashwagandha : While this herb strengthens the thyroid, the main reason to include it in your regimen is to minimize adrenal flare-ups that can fuel EBV. By stabilizing the adrenal glands, ashwagandha helps prevent the overproduction of fear-based hormonal concoctions that feed EBV. (For more information on the adrenal glands, read Anthony William’s book The Healer Medium .) For more information, see the article: “Ashwagandha . ”
Red Seaweed: This powerful antiviral agent helps remove heavy metals like mercury from the body and reduces EBV viral load.
Nettle Extract : With vital trace elements for the blood and central nervous system (especially the brain), this powerful adaptogenic herb is also an anti-inflammatory for organs infected with EBV. It is an incredible tool for returning to homeostasis – restoring balance to the body so that everything functions better, including the lymphatic system, liver and blood. Read the article: “Healing Properties of Nettle” .
Adapto B-complex : These are vitamins essential for the endocrine system, although their real important role is in supporting the central nervous system, which is bombarded by EBV neurotoxins.
Magnesium : This homeostasis mineral helps maintain a balance in thyroid hormone production so that it doesn’t produce too much or too little. It can also be helpful in reducing neurological symptoms.
Vegan Omega 3 (EPA and DHA) : These omega-3 fatty acids strengthen the endocrine system and help strengthen the central nervous system so that it is less susceptible to damage from excessive adrenaline, which can result from thyroid disease, high levels of stress in your life, or both. Keep in mind that EPA/DHA is only one part of brain health. Despite the increasingly popular theory that omega-3s are everything, the truth is that the majority of brain support comes from healthy carbohydrates like the foods we described in the article “Powerful Thyroid Healing Foods.” Also, be sure to buy a plant-based (not fish-based) version.
Fucus: Another seaweed that provides easily absorbable trace minerals for the thyroid gland, as well as iodine, which acts as an antiseptic on EBV so that the viral cells die, ultimately improving thyroid function. It removes toxic heavy metals from the intestinal tract, which helps to starve EBV .
Selenium: Rather than killing EBV, this supplement helps by strengthening thyroid tissue to protect it from scarring caused by the virus. It also strengthens the overall immune system, strengthens and supports the central nervous system, and through its thyroid support, helps stimulate the production of the thyroid hormones T4 and T3.
Curcumin : By strengthening the body’s central and peripheral nervous systems, this component of turmeric acts as an anti-inflammatory and reduces nerve swelling caused by EBV neurotoxins. You can learn more about turmeric in the article: “Healing Properties of Turmeric and Curcumin” .
Chromium: Supporting the adrenal glands, thyroid, and the rest of the endocrine system, this nutritional supplement also supports pancreas and liver function to stabilize your system in the fight against EBV .
Vitamin D3 : Supplementing with this vitamin helps stabilize the immune system and prevent it from overreacting to invaders like EBV. Don't overdo it, though. As Anthony William explains in his book The Most Beneficial Foods , megadoses of vitamin D are not productive.
Manganese: An important nutritional supplement for the production of the thyroid hormone T3 and for maintaining the pituitary gland of the endocrine system.
Elderberry Syrup : An excellent nutritional supplement for strengthening the immune system. You can learn more about this healing food in the article: “Elderberry” .
Red clover: This easily available herb is miraculous for cleansing and purifying the liver, lymphatic system, and spleen from EBV neurotoxins.
Siberian Ginseng: Wherever your adrenal glands are currently in terms of functionality, this herb offers them support. It can help reduce adrenal surges that fuel EBV and burn out neurotransmitters, meaning it helps prevent neurotransmitter damage that contributes to symptoms like brain fog .
Star anise: This antiviral spice helps destroy EBV in the liver.
Copper: This is a supplement that Anthony William doesn’t often recommend because people usually already have plenty of copper, both in the form of the trace element and the toxic heavy metal. However, if you feel that your toxic copper load is low enough and if you are doing a heavy metal detox , you can probably take very low levels of ionic copper to help ward off EBV . Taking a very small dose of a high-quality ionic mineral copper can also be helpful in loosening and removing the toxic heavy metal copper from your system that is fueling the virus.
Rubidium: Supplementing with rubidium helps stabilize thyroid hormone production and support the adrenal glands.
Bacopa (Brahmi): This herb supports thyroid hormone production and the conversion of T4 to T3.
