Perhaps the most significant areas of progress made in Food Science over the past few years, have been those confirming the relationship between 'Nutritional Status' (the level of nutrients in one's body) and COVID-19 disease outcome. In addition to that, it has now been conclusively established that when there is an optimum level of certain key nutrients in the body, then vaccine responsiveness is increased. In fact, the level of nutrients not only increase the potential efficacy of the vaccine, but decrease the small but significant risks associated with taking a vaccine.
Prior to the recent Coronavirus, crucial advances had been achieved during the past half-century in establishing that specific dietary ingredients are actually capable of exerting numerous anti-viral effects, potentially affording people a degree of protection against certain viruses. Multiple anti-viral mechanisms of chemicals naturally occurring in food have been observed and better understood than ever, including how certain ingredients bring about an overall improvement in responsiveness of our immune systems.
It now transpires that scientists worldwide have independently been conducting research, the results of which are pointing towards the very same conclusion: the possibility of a human diet containing numerous naturally occurring chemicals, all of which display anti-viral properties of one kind or another. - Most incredibly, this has almost entirely happened over the last 50 years. It is only possible to mention a very few of those tireless investigators here, though the work of over 2000 key scientists can be discovered through the Dietary Antivirals page of this website.
A world-leading expert in the biochemistry and human effects of selenium, Prof. Rayman has recently been conducting key work into the relationship between the amount of selenium in a person's body and their susceptibility to COVID-19. With Prof. Philip Calder, she submitted a recommendation to UK parliament that if the elderly (56+) take supplements containing a dozen specific micronutrients (included in the 'Anti-Viral Diet'), then the efficacy and safety of the COVID-19 vaccines for them will be increased. She is also an expert in another element that has significant anti-viral properties: iodine.

Dr. Sivaraman, who has a Ph.D. in Pharmacology and Toxicology, has been conducting research into many of the bio-active ingredients (included in 'AVD') in regard to their effects against the SARS-CoV-2 virus. In particular, he has studied the anti-viral potential of several dietary ingredients in targeting the SARS-CoV-2 polymerase so as to combat COVID-19. He has also conducted research into the anti-viral action of several phytochemicals against the Dengue virus.

Prof. Philip Calder, one of the world's leading biochemists, has been conducting a wide variety of research into the impact of a number of dietary ingredients on the human immune system. On the one hand, he has demonstrated that the omega-3 family of polyunsaturated fatty acids - especially those found in fish oils - has a variety of anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory effects. On the other hand, he has identified causal connections between obesity and decrease in immune system function. With Prof. Margaret Rayman, he has submitted COVID-19 vaccine recommendations to UK parliament.

On the basis of scientific evidence that has accumulated - particularly over the past fifty years - the theory of an 'anti-viral diet' is realistic and well-corroborated.
Dozens of naturally occurring, edible antivirals been confirmed via laboratory experimentation, molecular simulation, human trials and statistical analysis.
Whether humans have always been partially protected from viruses through the foods that they have been eating - with our evolutionary survival having partially been dependent upon the quality of human nutrition - does require further inquiry.
An anti-viral diet - being a combination of foods that includes a proportion of anti-viral ingredients, eaten regularly - does not have to prove it can wholly eradicate viruses, only that it is able to offer an increased level of protection against them.
It has now been proven that an increase in the incidence of certain micronutrients in the human body, does result in a higher degree of efficacy and safety for vaccines administered - including those approved against COVID-19.
Those wishing to review the body of evidence that has accumulated in support of an anti-viral diet, please visit the Dietary Antivirals Research Page, with links to over fifty dietary ingredients that have been shown to possess anti-viral properties.

Prof. Kieliszek has investigated a broad range of research issues in less than a decade of research. From the start, he has investigated the special properties of the element selenium, particularly in terms of how it exerts positive effects on human health by preventing cell-damage and regulating the immune system processes - among many other functions he identifies. He has conducted significant research into several other anti-viral dietary ingredients, including ginger, turmeric and honey. Recently, his research has looked into whether selenium supplementation can help prevent COVID-19 infection.

An 'Anti-Viral Diet' has been extensively corroborated by science and is gradually being accepted as an integral part of how people may protect themselves against viruses and treat viral illnesses - one other option to make use of alongside vaccines and antiviral medications. However, Food Science does not currently receive even 1% as much financing as pharmaceutical or vaccine-related research. 10% of the profit from sales of the 'AVD' book are being donated towards essential projects in Anti-Viral Dietary Research.
