Naturopathic Strategies for the Prevention & Treatment of SARS-Coronavirus-19 Infections Peter J Glidden ND

OCTOBER 11, 2021

SARS Coronavirus-2 Prevention & Treatment Dr. Glidden makes no claims as to the efficacy of the recommendations contained in this document.

The human body is a complicated thing and is the reason why medical malpractice insurance premiums are the highest for anesthesiologists - because you never really know how someone’s body is going to react to whatever you are putting into it. This not only applies to pharmaceuticals, but to Naturopathic therapeutics as well. It is rare that a naturopathic treatment will hurt someone (unlike pharmaceuticals), but sometimes the naturopathic strategies are insufficient to the cause. Nothing is 100% set in stone - as there are always many variables at play. In this document, Dr. Glidden will show you what he and a few of his colleagues have seen work in the past with their patients, but that is no guarantee that the recommendations outlined here will be 100% effective for you. It is always a good idea to secure the services of a local, licensed and regulated Naturopathic doctor to help you objectively gauge your response to the health-recovery strategies you currently are using, or the ones you are considering adopting - whether they are recommended by Dr. Glidden, or by someone else.

You can find a list of the licensed and regulated practitioners that Dr. Glidden recommends here: Naturopathic Medicine Institute. ______________________________________________________________________________

B

elow are my recommendations for how to build your health during the SARS

Coronavirus-2 viral pandemic. I have broken them down into 3 parts: 1. Building a Foundation for Health – What to do, every day from now on, to optimize your overall health.

2. Prevention – What to do to make your system strong so that if you do become infected, it is a short lived and uncomplicated illness.

3. Treatment - What to do if you actually do become infected with SARS Coronavirus-2.

These recommendations are based on what myself and my colleagues have actually seen work in clinical settings over the course of our professional careers. They are not theoretical. They are science-based and clinically verified. Please keep in mind that, like all medical treatments, these recommendations are not guaranteed. As mentioned in the disclaimer at the top of this document, the human body is a complicated thing – and different people will react differently to the same treatment. Generally speaking, the recommendations below are a very good place to start and will go a long way towards optimizing your body’s health – which is never a bad idea, whether you are dealing with viral stress or not.

1) Building a Strong Foundation for Health • Meditate for 15 minutes a day.

• I have been a meditator since the age of 13. I am 62 now and have a good deal of experience in this area. I have put together written instructions for how to perform one of my favorite meditations. It can be found at the end of this document.

• Eliminate the 12 Bad Foods (Wheat, Barley, Rye, Oats, Oil in a bottle, Fried Food, Well-Done Red meat, Meat with Nitrates/Nitrites added as preservatives, Skins of Baked Potatoes/yams/sweet potatoes, Carbonated beverages before or during a meal, Corn & Soy – unless they are organic & non-GMO). Information about why these foods are bad for you can be found here.

• Salt your food so that it tastes good. Dr. Glidden recommends “Real Salt” from the Great Salt Lake in Utah, or Celtic Seat Salt. If you can find one of these brands that has Iodine added to it, all the better. You can watch a video presentation regarding the subject of Salt here.

• Take the following nutritional supplements regularly.

Beyond Tangy Tangerine 2.0 powder (BTT) Beyond Osteo Fx liquid calcium (BOFx) Plant Derived Minerals (PDM) Projoba omega

o How to Take: • In a blender mix 1 scoop of the BTT, ½ scoop of the BOFx, 1 ounce of the PDM with 2 cups of water, a little ice, organic fruit (fresh or frozen) and some protein powder of your choice. Take at least 1 hour to drink it down. Do this twice a day.

• Projoba omega: 2 caps twice daily with food.

o How to Get: The products above are the ones Dr. Glidden uses himself and currently recommends. They are sold by a California based company called Youngevity. Youngevity distributes its products via an international network of independent distributers. Please support the individual that you heard about this document from by purchasing these products through them.

Please DO NOT order these from E-Bay or Amazon, as the quality and customer support via those sales channels are questionable.

If you heard about this document through Dr. Glidden himself, then go here to purchase the products above: https://EiffelHealth.com

You can view a video tutorial which explains why these supplements are my favorites in part 6 of my “Medical Myth Busting” video series here. If you are already taking a vitamin program and are happy with it, then the only product that you would benefit from adding to your current program is the “Plant Derived Minerals” mentioned above. You can watch a video tutorial which explains the necessity of this product here.

2) Immune Support for Prevention During the SARS Coronavirus 2 Viral Pandemic Please do these things in addition to the Building a Strong Foundation for Health steps outlined above.

• Eat 50-60 grams of protein every day. Your immune system is made from protein – so it just makes sense to feed it properly. Make sure that the protein you eat is Not on the “Bad-Foods” list. Hitting this number by the addition of a Protein-Powder to your daily diet is perfectly fine. Use whichever one you like.

• Donate a pint of blood. According to Morley Robbins’ research, one of the leading drivers of poor immune health is an overload of Iron in the human body. The easiest way to dump excessive iron from the body is by donating blood. By the way - this theory of “iron-overload” is one that very few medical practitioners have any working knowledge about what-so-ever. I wouldn’t tell the blood-bank people that this is what you are trying to accomplish – as they wouldn’t understand it.

• Get an Organic Lemon. Cut it in half and squeeze the juice into a cup of hot water (or hot tea). Drink it down. The “full-spectrum” Vitamin C contained in the lemon juice is a very effective strengthener for your immune health. Please note – Vitamin C from lemon juice is very different from most over the

Rise Up Into Health.com

counter Vitamin C supplements – as the latter are 100% “Ascorbic acid,” which is not recommended in high doses.

• Dr. Jared Zeff, one of the most respected Naturopathic physicians in the world recommends Constitutional Hydrotherapy as an integral part of any Immune-Support program. An easy way to accomplish this for prevention purposes is as follows: A cold rinse at the end of a hot shower. Wow! This is challenging!

The best way to do this is to just “go for it” and turn the hot water all the way off all at once (kind of like jumping into a cold lake or ocean rather than wading in slowly. It is best to just get it over with ASAP).

Run in place in the cold-water shower, yell and scream (let your housemates know what you are up to) and do whatever it takes to remain in the cold shower for at least 30 seconds (a full minute is better). Of course, you need to take precautions so that you don’t slip and fall, and if you have a pacemaker or a feeble heart then this is Not recommended. (It is perfectly fine to yell “I hate you Dr. Glidden” at any time during this process ;-) (A more through approach to Constitutional Hydrotherapy is outlined in the “Treatment” part of this document here).

• Immune-Supportive Herbal Tea recipes from the desk of Dr. Virender Sodhi: o Recipe #1: • 1 tsp grated turmeric root or ½ tsp turmeric powder • 1 tsp grated ginger root or ½ tsp dried ground ginger • Pinch of black pepper • ½ lemon juiced • 2 tsp raw honey (organic and local is best) • 1 ½ cups filtered water Bring the water, turmeric, ginger and black pepper to a gentle simmer, cooking for 10 minutes on low heat. You don't want the pot to bubble or boil. Take off the heat and squeeze in the lemon juice.

Strain the tea into a cup and add 1 teaspoon of honey. If using raw

Rise Up Into Health.com

honey, wait for the tea to cool down a few minutes so the heat doesn't destroy some of its nutrients. Enjoy! o Recipe #2: • 1-inch piece Ginger root (or 1 tsp. ginger powder) • 1-inch piece Turmeric root (or 1 tsp. turmeric powder) • 1 stick cinnamon (or 1 tsp. cinnamon powder) • 2-3 slices of Lemon • Cayenne pepper • Raw honey • A medium sized pot In a medium sized pot, add ginger, turmeric, cinnamon, lemon and a small dash of cayenne. Fill the pot 3/4 with filtered water. Bring to a gentle simmer for 10 minutes. Remove from heat and let it stand for a few minutes until it's the temperature that you like. Pour the liquid into mug or mason jar. Enjoy! o Recipe #3: • 1 stick of cinnamon • 1 stick (or 1 tsp.) of licorice root • 1-2 tsp. holy basil leaves (torn) • ½ tsp. grated ginger • ½ lemon juiced • Honey to taste (optional) • 2 ½ cups filtered water Bring one cup water to a boil on the stove. Once boiling, add remaining ingredients (except honey) to the pot and lower heat. Simmer for at least 5 minutes. Strain herbs and serve hot. If you’re using honey, make sure to let the tea cool down a bit first before adding.

• Homeopathy: o The recommendations here are subject to change, so it is best to frequent my website1 for updates regularly. As of October 1, 2021, the recommendation is: • Bryonia alba 30C: o Adults - Take 2 pellets orally 3 times in one day.

• Constitutional Hydrotherapy – The Full Monty. Do this once a day. You will need help. Do not do this by yourself. This info comes directly from Dr. Zeff’s website.

The purpose of this treatment is to stimulate a more rapid improvement in health, along with the application of specific dietary therapy and other

Rise Up Into Health.com

measures. It is an integral part of most of our treatment protocols, but it has other applications. It can be used whenever there is a fever or febrile illness, or to ward off illness which is beginning to manifest. It is strengthening and healing to the digestive system, helps to normalize circulation, soothes the nervous system, stimulates eliminative and detoxifying processes, and stimulates the vital force. It is a subtle yet powerful treatment with no potential for harm if done according to the following directions, under the order of a qualified naturopathic physician. If one is doing this treatment during chronic illness, a weekly report to the naturopathic physician is mandatory, and no other treatments or medications of any kind should be used without the knowledge and approval of the naturopathic physician.

1. With the patient lying on the back, cover the bared chest and abdomen, from the neck to the pubic bone, with 2-4 thicknesses of terrycloth towel wrung out in hot water tolerable to the touch. Cover the body with a blanket to avoid becoming chilled. Leave the hot towels in place for five minutes.

2. Replace the hot towels with a single thickness of towel wrung out in cold water. Cover the person as before to avoid chill. Leave the cold towel in place for 10 minutes. Do not remove the towel until it has become warmed.

3. Turn the patient over and repeat the same treatment on the back.

The treatment takes about half-an-hour. This method is best done to the patient by another person.

If the patient is going to administer the treatment to himself the following modification should be used.

Take a hot bath or shower for 5-10 minutes. Get out and dry off. Take a large towel wrung out in cold water and wrap it around the torso, from the armpits to the groin. Cover up with a robe or blanket to avoid a chill. Leave in place 2030 minutes. Do not remove the towel until it becomes warmed.

At the end of this treatment the patient should feel better. They should not feel chilled. If they do not feel better, or feel chilled, contact the naturopathic physician and do not repeat the treatment.

Conclusion That about wraps it up. As far as I know, less than 10 of the patients suffering from COVID-19 that myself or my colleagues have treated over the last 2.5 years have needed to be hospitalized, and none have died - even those at high risk. Most people recover from this illness within 9 days – sooner if they are undergoing naturopathic treatment. If, after 6 days of pursuing the self-help treatment strategies outlined here you are getting worse – then schedule a treatment with a local licensed naturopathic doctor (you can find one here), or with me. I treat people all around the world via Skype, Phone, or Zoom. My office number: 855-347-3696.

Olive Leaf Information

Rise Up Into Health.com

Olive Leaf History Olive leaf is the leaf of the olive tree (Olea europaea) and was first used medicinally in Ancient Egypt. It is gaining recognition as a powerful defender against sickness and numerous scientific studies have been conducted to investigate the extracts beneficial properties. The reported benefits of olive leaf extract range from promoting increased energy and healthy blood pressure, to supporting the cardiovascular system and the immune system.

Olives are native to Asia Minor and Syria, but are cultivated in Mediterranean countries and also Chile, Peru and South Australia. We have found that the Mediterranean source of olive leaf to be superior to other sources as its properties are stronger and more effective. More recent knowledge of the olive leaf's medicinal properties dates back to the early 1800s when pulverized leaves were used in a drink to lower fevers. A few decades later, green olive leaves were used in tea as a treatment for malaria.

energy and healthy blood pressure, to supporting the cardiovascular system and the immune system.

From research to date, we can say that supplemental olive leaf may be beneficial in the treatment for conditions caused by, or associated with, a virus, bacterium or protozoan.

Stress.

Many people who live stressful lives who may be particularly susceptible to colds and viruses may benefit from long-term use of olive leaf as a preventive agent. Some people have expressed other unexpected benefits of olive leaf, including improved psoriasis, normalization of heartbeat irregularities, diminished cravings, less pain from hemorrhoids, toothaches and chronically achy joints.

Blood Pressure, Viruses, Bacteria, Fungi, Parasites In 1962 an Italian researcher recorded that Oleuropein (the active component in olive leaf) had the ability to lower blood pressure in animals. It dilates the blood vessels so that blood may flow more easily throughout the system. Other European researchers validated that claim and also found it to increase blood flow in the coronary arteries, relieve arrhythmia and prevent intestinal muscle spasms. In the years to follow, a Dutch researcher identified that a primary ingredient in oleuropein inhibited the growth of viruses, bacteria, fungi and parasites. This chemical was “elenolic acid.”

Further European research determined this compound to have strong bactericidal, anti-viral and anti-fungal capabilities. A safety study on calcium elenolate was tested with laboratory animals and published by the Upjohn pharmaceutical company in 1970. The study concluded that even in doses several hundred times higher than recommended; no toxic or other adverse side effects were discovered.

Research suggests that olive leaf may be a true anti-viral compound because it appears to selectively block an entire virus-specific system in the infected host. This appears to offer healing effects not addressed by pharmaceutical antibiotics. Olive leaf's broad killing power includes an ability to interfere with critical amino acid production for viruses; an ability to contain viral infection and/or spread by inactivating viruses by

preventing virus shredding, budding or assembly at the cell membrane; and the ability to directly penetrate infected cells and stop viral replication.

How to Meditate 20 minutes daily is a good start - and has been proven to strengthen the physiology of the human body - not to mention its documented benefits on the mind… Any meditation practice will suffice. Just commit to doing it Every Day. Optimal results are realized if you meditate at the same time and the same place (your favorite chair, or a certain room in your house) every day. Dawn, Noon, or twilight are particularly conducive to meditation, but any time will do. Make sure that nothing can disturb you (cell phone, other people) during this time. If you have no idea of how to begin, then follow the meditation technique described below. It is one of Dr. Glidden’s favorites.

(BTW - Dr. Glidden started meditating at 12 years old - so I think his advice here is good…)

Suddhi Meditation (pronounced “Should-ee”) Find a quiet place where you won’t be disturbed for the entire time that you are meditating. When you start this practice, the recommendation is to meditate for five minutes twice a day for a week. Then for 10 minutes twice a day for a week. Then for 15 minutes twice a day for a week. Then for 20 minutes (or more) twice a day for the rest of your life. If you can only manage to meditate once a day then that is OK. This technique is like riding a bike – it looks easy, and it is easy, but you have to get the hang of it first. This is one of the oldest meditations known to humankind. One of the essential ingredients of this meditation is that you remain motionless for the entire duration of the meditation. If you can sit cross-legged, then that is best. If you are a woman, make sure that your right leg is over your left leg. If you are a man, then your left leg is over your right leg. Any cross-legged position will do. Of course, the Lotus position is the one that is most advised, but since this is extremely difficult for most Westerners to do, then sit in a cross-legged position that you can comfortably

Rise Up Into Health.com

and without strain maintain for 20 minutes. Keep your back comfortably straight - not bent or hunched over. if sitting cross-legged is just not an option for you, then sit in a chair with your feet flat on the ground. Whether you are sitting in a chair or cross legged on the ground, you must keep your back as straight as possible and your chin parallel to the ground. Your hands are resting comfortably on your lap. If you are a man, the right palm is on top of the left palm and if you are a woman the left palm is on top of the right palm the tips of your thumbs are lightly touching each other. If you are sitting in a chair, then it is perfectly fine to use a cushion either to sit on or to stabilize your lower back. Sit facing the east or the north. When you begin this meditation, it might be a good idea to set a timer so that you don’t have to be worried about how long you are meditating.

Once you have assumed the position, and set the timer, then the rest is easy. I will outline the steps for the actual meditation now in bullet points:

• Close your eyes and take three full breaths. Try to make the breaths as big and as long as possible. Try to make the inhalations the same length as the exhalations.

• After the third exhalation become the observer of your thoughts. This is a little tricky at first because most of us are so attached to our thoughts that we don’t know detaching from them is an option. It is.

• When a thought pops into your mind just observe it and let it go. Do not think it through. Simply observe it and let it go. Sometimes it helps to mentally repeat “Detach.” Once released, the thought will quickly be replaced by another thought. Observe it and let it go. If you find yourself attaching to a thought and thinking it through, then simply stop yourself, detach from the thought, and let it go.

Rise Up Into Health.com

• When you consistently detach from your thoughts, they will begin to slow down. They will continue to pop into your mind, but at a slower pace. Your job is to continue to let them go. Eventually you will find yourself in a very calm and quiet place inside your mind. Enjoy it. Embrace it. Experience it. When a thought pops into your mind (like: “Isn’t this remarkable!”) - just let it go. The entire intention of this meditation is to detach from your thoughts completely, utterly, and totally.

• When the alarm goes off, and before you open your eyes, imagine that a golden healing light is descending over your body from the top of your head to the bottom of your feet. Imagine that it is completely, utterly and totally dissolving all shreds of illness in your body. Let this visualization linger for as long as you want.

• When you are ready to end the meditation, take a few deep breaths and slowly open your eyes. Take a moment or 2 to soak up what has happened before you get up and go about your business.

You may have many different experiences over time during this meditation. You may feel like you are in the middle of a vast dome. You may start to see lights or a fivepointed star. You may feel a cool tingly glow descend over you. Whatever happens, just experience it and if you start thinking about anything - just let it go. You may also have the curious experience once the meditation is over, that what seemed like two or three minutes to you was in actuality 15 or 20.

By practicing this meditation, you are grounding yourself in something called “The Witness-Consciousness.” It is very powerful.

With time and practice you will be able to experience that part of your mind (the witness consciousness) which is separate and distinct from your thoughts. You will begin to exercise your spiritual muscles. Your intuition will increase, and your ability to pray will deepen. This technique is elegantly simple and yet is tricky to master. The mind is very much like an ocean – turbulent on top and quiet in the depths. Most of

Rise Up Into Health.com

us spend all of our time on the surface. As your practice of this meditation deepens so will your consciousness and it will take a great deal more stress to negatively affect you when you are not meditating.
