This is not a drill. COVID-19 is a fully global pandemic unfolding physically, socially, economically, culturally, emotionally. Brave medical professionals worldwide are overwhelmed with the demand for emergency services. At every level, from heads of state to your next door neighbor, people of every age group are being called to confront this viral foe (which may well have escaped from a lab environment).
And while any one of us is a potential carrier, a potential victim, you have a great deal of power, probably more than you know. I mean on-the-ground, real-world, research-backed, durable, do-able power. And your power - your agency - is what we are here to cultivate and wield.
The stronger your immune system, the more focused your Life Practices, the more skillful your mindset, the better you are likely to navigate this event.
So No More Smoking Cigarettes and watching Captain Kangaroo. You must decide right now whether you want to live or die; whether you want to be a victim to be saved or the hero; whether you crumble, cower, or diminish in the face of this event, or exercise Antifragility and come forth stronger as a result.
As a Master Coach, Researcher, Author, and Founder of JuiceFeasting.com, I have been coaching integrative health, Juice Feasting, Fasting, and Developmental Life Practices for over 17 years.

1. COVID-19 Overview and Approach
COVID-19 is like a math assignment for your immune system. If you come into contact with the virus through communicable channels (eyes, nose, mouth), you will be required to do the math.
We want to be as math-prepared as possible, and in this case, that means building a strong system starting right where you are. It doesn’t matter your physical, mental, emotional, relational, geographical, or economic conditions…
…Overweight, bottom-half-of-the-class, diminished, alone, just getting by… whatever it is, it’s your ZERO POINT. From this place, you are going to move FORWARD, upwards, onwards, and develop forth your immune system, your life practices, your state of mind, your preparedness, and who you are.
Feeling despondent or like you can’t do it? Let’s change that right now. Go watch U.S. Navy Seal David Goggins right now, and then come back to this page.
Here are Your Assets that You Will Leverage:
+ Supplements / Nutrients
+ A Healthful Diet of Whole Foods
+ Skillful Fasting with Electrolyte Water
+ Regular Physical Movement
+ Achieving Healthier Bodyweight
+ Healthy Blood Sugar Levels
+ Reducing Inflammatory Markers
+ Mindfulness Practices
+ Togetherness
+ Joy, Comedy, Laughter
+ Rest and Sleep
+ Focus
All of these are integrated into the COVID-19 Action guidance you will learn here with our Juice Feasting Coaches Team, and can workshop on The Juice Feasting Motivation Group for free.
When facing a major opponent, you must know, understand, and leverage every asset available to you. In the past, these items may have seemed academic or optional - something to consider for the future. Not anymore.
No more Captain Kangaroo. This shit has gotten real, and while there are a tremendous number of good people out there working really hard on behalf of all of us, to focus your mindset you must recognize that no one is going to save you but you, you’re the one to do it, and now is the time. NOW is the time.
Let’s get to work.
2. COVID-19 (Major) Supplements & Nutrients
COVID-19 attacks the lungs, creating lung distress in mild cases, and pneumonia in advanced cases of COVID-induced damage to the lungs. This is hardest on people with compromised immune and repair functions, including those with chronic inflammatory issues.
Therefore, in applying supplemental assets to prevent an advanced case of COVID-19, we are looking to reduce inflammation, diminish excessive stressors, and achieve healthy and/or therapeutic status on major immune nutrients that foster immunity, tissue repair, oxygenation, and homeostasis.
By the way, Tylenol (see research and Why Tylenol Should Be Avoided), Ibuprofin (see the research) and other NSAIDs will knock down immune function significantly. They ALL reduce GLUTATHIONE, ONE OF YOUR VERY BEST DEFENSES against the ravages of Coronaviruses. We will talk about raising Glutathione levels in our first item, NAC (N-Acetyl-Cysteine) below… In fact, NAC has been used by hospitals to save patients from Tylenol overdose since the late 1960s. The bottom line: My guidance is don't use NSAIDs leading up to a possible Coronavirus infection, and do your absolute best not to use them during an infection.
There is no fluff or speculative guidance among these Major Supplements. You are going to get demonstrable immune building from these. Fortunately, we can go right up the middle of the road with significant, tried-and-true supplements to meet our requirements. These Major Supplements are all low cost (under $20 per item, many under $10) and really go to work for you.
None are particularly optional, but the first: NAC (N-Acetyl Cysteine) is the Queen of the Major Supplements. Next would be Vitamin C. We will do our best to educate you on each of these assets so you can integrate them with understanding and purpose.
[Stand by for audio, video, links and resources for each of these. We are doing this STAT for everyone’s benefit.]
☐ NAC (N-Acetyl-Cysteine) (1 cap, 4x/Day preventative during this global pandemic, 1 cap, 5-8 times per day if suffering Coronavirus cold/flu infection)
This may be your most powerful immune-building asset. It is the Master Antioxidant, a key regulator of the immune system. Read that again. It’s why I have listed NAC first. For years, I have solved months-long walking pneumonia cases for clients in under a week using NAC. We are providing the building blocks for your body to produce it’s own glutathione - your body’s main antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, anti-viral agent, produced by your liver. Glutathione acts as an antioxidant, a free radical scavenger and a major detoxifying agent.
There are studies linking virtually every form of chronic degenerative disease with low levels of glutathione.
In a double-blind, placebo-controlled study of 262 seniors, regular use of NAC at dose of 600 mg twice daily helped prevent the development of influenza-like illnesses. 62 Over the 6-month study period, only 25% of participants taking NAC developed flu-like symptoms, as compared to 79% in the placebo group, a statistically significant difference.
Interestingly, blood tests suggested that NAC did not prevent influenza infection—about as many people showed antibodies indicating influenza infection in the NAC group as in the placebo group. Rather, NAC seemed to reduce the rate at which influenza infection became severe enough to cause noticeable symptoms. Tests of immune function hinted that NAC functioned by increasing the strength of the immune response.
NAC builds glutathione in hours. It’s cheap. It works. You can start taking it right away.
Research: Glutathione Fine-Tunes the Innate Immune Response toward Antiviral Pathways; Attenuation of influenza-like symptomatology and improvement of cell-mediated immunity with long-term N-acetylcysteine treatment.
☐ Whey Protein (25g 2-3x/Day) (up until you have COVID symptoms, then drop and continue with NAC)
☐ MSM Powder (1 Tablespoon in Lemon Water, 1-2x/Day)
☐ Vitamin A (10,000 Units/Day)
Vitamin A is one of the most important nutrients for a healthy immune system. Perhaps these authors put it best: “Vitamin A is known as an anti-inflammation vitamin because of its critical role in enhancing immune function. VitA is involved in the development of the immune system and plays regulatory roles in cellular immune responses and humoral immune processes. VitA has demonstrated a therapeutic effect in the treatment of various infectious diseases.”
This paper presents a new model of the [development] of influenza, suggesting that host resistance and susceptibility to the disease depend importantly on the ratio of vitamin D to vitamin A; reduced exposure to sunlight and/or preexisting vitamin D deficiency simultaneously increase the accumulation, expression, and potential toxicity of endogenous retinoids, and the decreased vitamin D to vitamin A ratio triggers viral activation or increases susceptibility to novel strains of influenza virus.
☐ Vitamin B-12 (Supplement: Methylcobalamin, 5000 mcg sublingual 1x/Day)
Vitamin B-12 is a major anti-inflammatory agent that is also responsible for increasing the oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood - both of these are major assets when preparing for or dealing with a coronavirus infection. I present an excellent B-12 Exposed Webinar on this topic. Also consider this extensive fact sheet on Vitamin B-12 by the US NIH.
☐ Vitamin C (Calcium Ascorbate 2000 mg 4x/Day)
Specific to COVID-19, it’s been applied successfully in Wuhan, China, and NOW New York hospitals are treating coronavirus patients with high-dose vitamin C. Quote:
“ Dr. Andrew G. Weber, a pulmonologist and critical-care specialist affiliated with two Northwell Health facilities on Long Island, said his intensive-care patients with the coronavirus immediately receive 1,500 milligrams of intravenous vitamin C… ‘The patients who received vitamin C did significantly better than those who did not get vitamin C,’ Dr. Weber said.”
☐ Vitamin D (Supplement: 5000 IU/Day with Vitamin D Drops)
Vitamin D deficiency significantly weakens your immune system. Most adults need to supplement with 5,000 to 10,000 IUs during the fall and winter months. Consider this study on Vitamin D and Influenza by Gerry Schwalfenberg, MD CCFP FCFP:
“In those patients who do have influenza, we have treated them with the vitamin D hammer, as coined by my colleague. This is a 1-time 50,000 IU dose of vitamin D3 or 10,000 IU 3 times daily for 2 to 3 days. The results are dramatic, with complete resolution of symptoms in 48 to 72 hours. One-time doses of vitamin D at this level have been used safely and have never been shown to be toxic.”
☐ Zinc (Supplement: 30 mg/Day) (Dietary Sources: Hemp, Pumpkin, and Sesame Seeds)
Zinc is like a firefighter crew against inflammation (specifically, cytokine storms that can both sicken and kill patients who are infected with certain strains of flu virus. A cytokine storm is an overproduction of immune cells and their activating compounds (cytokines), which, in a flu infection, is often associated with a surge of activated immune cells into the lungs. The resulting lung inflammation and fluid buildup can lead to respiratory distress and can be contaminated by a secondary bacterial pneumonia -- often enhancing the mortality in patients.
According to the NIH, “The body’s immune system needs zinc to do its job. Older people and children in developing countries who have low levels of zinc might have a higher risk of getting pneumonia and other infections.”
Scientific research published in the journal PLoS Pathogens in 2010 found that zinc is a powerful inhibitor of coronavirus, preventing its replication and spread. In vitro, or cellular, tests found that zinc is helpful in preventing a whole host of RNA viruses, including influenza.
☐ Nascent Iodine (3-5 drops 2x/day in 2 teaspoons water. Sip and allow to run down your throat slowly.)
☐ Magnesium (Natural CALM Powder) (1-2 teaspoons 2x/day)
☐ Apple Cider Vinegar (1 Tablespoon 3x/day in 4 oz Water)
☐ Fish Oil (1 Tablespoon/Day)
☐ Hemp or Coconut Oil (1 Tablespoon/Day)
☐ Tulsi Tea or Tincture (1-4 Cups/Day)
☐ Fresh Ginger & Tumeric Root in Tea and Juices
☐ Sauerkraut to Eat for Gut Health
☐ Spirulina / Chlorella Powder (up to 2-3 Tablespoons total per day)
Spirulina has been shown to be effective against viral replication and virus-induced mortality, according to this research. Spirulina and chlorella are also potent source of protein, chlorophyll, magnesium, have significant anti-radiation benefits, improve digestion… Get these in, in powder form, in smoothies, juices, nut mylks, etc.
☐ Arm & Hammer Baking Soda (1 tsp in 16 oz Water, 1-2x/day an hour away from food)
Supplements to Consider
☐ Stamets 7 or MycoImmunity Medicinal Mushrooms by Paul Stamets
☐ Allimax
☐ Melatonin
☐ Cell Food
☐ Vitalzym or Serrapeptase / Nattokinase
☐ Bentonite Clay
☐ Activated Charcoal
3. COVID-19 Life Practices
✓ Immune-Building Exercise | Exercise Immunology
Our immune system is a complex biological system of blood cells and organs that work to keep us healthy. A key portion of our immunity lies within our lymphatic system, which includes our tonsils, bone marrow, spleen, lymphatic fluid and lymph nodes. Within this system lymphatic fluid travels throughout our body to rid our systems of dead cells and waste to be disposed of through various bodily fluids and functions such as sweat, urine, and feces.
When it comes to preparation for COVID-19 or any viral issue, we need to keep moving for optimum immune function. Stagnation is the first stage of disease, which means that Movement is the foundation of health. Researchers call this “Exercise Immunology,” and it is a major asset to you starting right now. Read this:
The compelling link between physical activity and the body's defense system
Here’s what we’re going to do:
+ Walking. Your city may have a lockdown, but most likely it allows for walking for exercise. Look at this image from the article above. What you see is that walking improves immune functions across the board. Recommendation: Get out for 3 walks a Day, at a duration each time that works for you, up to 30 minutes per walk.
+ Rebounding. One specific method of boosting immunity through exercise is by that of rebounding. Rebounding on a mini trampoline causes a positive G-force through every cell throughout your body. This G-Force stimulates circulation of the lymphatic system to strengthen the lymphocytes and boost your immunity. It’s the best mover of lymph, period. It’s also impossible to feel unhappy after bouncing for a few minutes :) Recommendation: Rebound for a total of 15 minutes a Day. If you don’t have a rebounder, see about getting one. We recommend a Bellicon Rebounder.
+ Calisthenics (Bodyweight Training). This is the HyperLearning approach to strength training. Right to the point, right where you are, no gym membership, no prior experience necessary. You probably have more time and opportunity to integrate self-reliant bodyweight training now than at any other time in your adult life.

+ Sunbathing.
✓ Sleep and NAP | Sleep is a Superfood
✓ Contemplative Stress Relief
+ Yin Yoga (Long slow stretching on the floor)
+ Meditation
+ Deep Breathing
+ Gratitude at Every Opportunity
✓ Intermittent Fasting | Healing, Weight Loss, Immune-Building
+ Fasting until 12:00 noon
+ Eating Window
+ OMAD
+ 24s and 48s
+ Electrolyte Water Recipe
✓ Hyperthermic Treatment
+ Hot Showers
+ Sauna
+ BioMat or Infrared Mat
+ Sunbathing
✓ Home Air Filtration/Purification
+ If you have a HEPA filter, activate it. If you can get one or several, use air filtration to clean the air in your home and reduce the burden on your lungs.
✓ Mental Health
We could go on and on with studies on mental health and immunity. We need to get to what works, so just read this and this. Now, on to our assets.
+ Read the News or your Social Newsfeed 3 times per day for 5 minutes only. Any more than this will cause stress that up-regulates inflammation and down-regulates your immune function… significantly. This kind of stress leads to shallower breathing, a tense body and stagnation in your system, and a state of mind that is not conducive to relatively calm proactivity of the kind that improves immune function.
+ Call Parents, Children, Friends for Conversational Dates. Many of our parents and elderly citizens are home alone. Consider this article on their mental health, and set up times to call them to check in and just hang out.
+ Watch Standup Comedy. There’s a lot of it on Netflix and YouTube. Standup is a fine art, a true bastion of free speech, and often insightful and developmental for your worldview. According to this excellent page on why laughter is good for the immune system:
Watching a one-hour comedy video for example has been found to produce these immune factors:
…Increased number and activation of T cells;
…Increased number of Helper T cells (the cells attacked by the AIDS virus);
…Increased ratio of Helper/Suppressor T cells;
…Increased number and activity of Natural Killer (NK) cells;
…Increased levels of Gamma Interferon;
…Increased number of B cells.
+ Listen to Music. Good for a change of mindstate, a break from monotony, an opportunity to dance, to sing (deep breathing), a way to improve hormone balance and dramatically improve immune function and recovery. Here is the pile of studies pointing to this. Play music. Learn about new genres and eras and musicians.
+ Learn New Stuff. We are all about to become Autodidacts: people who learn on their own for the love of learning and personal growth. Our current situation is remarkably well suited to self-improvement. Use online courses, YouTube videos, ebooks and podcasts to spark your mind and learn more every day.

4. COVID-19 Shopping Practices
This is a Training in Mindfulness that is going to pay off for you long after COVID-19 is in the history books. Now is an extraordinary opportunity to improve your kitchen organization and hygeine, and to improve your food storage and usage.
✓ Clean Your Kitchen
Marie Kondo this part of your house. Get rid of extra redundant implements, containers, bags, ties, lids, cups, etc. What remains should “spark joy” and be truly useful. It will also get the crap out of your cupboards so you have more room for organized food storage.
Also do away with the most egregious processed, high-sugar, artificial foods in your kitchen. These items will create the kind of inflammatory markers, blood sugar levels, insulin levels, weight issues, blood pressure issues, sleep challenges, etc. that diminish immune function. They are dead to you. Time for whole foods that generate the conditions for life.
✓ Get a Chest Freezer
Our grandparents of the WWII generation had ‘em. You might already have one. Top-down chest freezers are energy-efficient when full. A 5 to 7 cubic foot chest freezer can hold 4-8 weeks of frozen whole food items for a family of 4. You can find them on local used listings - but even if you need to acquire a new one, it’s worth it for peace of mind and to reduce exposure and spread of COVID-19.
✓ Shop for 4-6 Weeks of Food
Below we will place an integrated whole foods shopping list - from which you can generate your own shopping list based on dietary needs and practices. While fresh foods are wonderful - and you should as always purchase them - at this time you will be emphasizing whole foods that store well. See our Shopping List below.
✓ Shop Early in the Morning or in the Middle of the Night
We are seeking to avoid contracting or passing on a very transmissible virus. Shopping mid-day means being in the store when many people are there, breathing, coughing, sneezing, etc. If you can shop when the store first opens, the air will be much more clear, reducing your potential exposure, and with fewer people in store, you will do your part to reduce transmission of COVID-19.
✓ Use a Face Mask
Until recently, the World Health Organization said the only people who needed to wear masks during the coronavirus pandemic were caretakers of a person suspected of having COVID-19, or those who are coughing or sneezing.
Based on the most current research, wearing face masks in public is advisable even for those of us who don’t display symptoms or know of exposure to an infected person.
Watch this video to make a no-sew face mask from a simple cotton bandana.
✓ Shop Online and Pickup or Receive Delivery
We have numerous options for online ordering, even with local grocery stores who will pre-shop and bag/box your order for you for pick-up or delivery. Take advantage of this option. Its best for you, and for the brave grocery store clerks who are working with the public.
✓ Shop at Neighborhood Markets
Small neighborhood markets are an excellent choice to pick up items. Fewer people, and you can often find low-volume times of day to shop. You might even be able to arrange for the store clerk to bring your few items out to the street for you, and pay for your total with a tap of your card.
✓ Use the Hand Sanitizer or Hand Wipes
Yep. When you enter the store, wipe your hands and the cart. Once you have finished shopping, you might re-enter the front doors and take a few more wipes for your hands, keys, credit card, etc.
✓ Remove Your Shoes + Clothes, Shower Up
1. Assume your clothes, your shopping bags, and your car itself have COVID-19 present when you return home. Yes, this sucks and even in the midst of a global pandemic it looks funny to be this careful. But let’s be skillful and do this right, for ourselves and those we love.
2. Know where you are taking your shopping bags. NOT to the kitchen. You need a Cooling Area for those bags. Preferably away from kids and people. You may want to set up rubber/plastic totes for this purpose, a place in the basement or garage… you will know. But these items need to sit for 3 to 72 hours for the virus to die off before you move them into your active living space.
3. Take your shoes off outside. Have a loved one open doors for you. Put those bags down.
4. Treat your clothes as virus-contacted. Take off your clothes somewhere they can Cool Off as well. Note what you touch, if anything, and go straight to a running shower if possible, and have a nice soapy shower for a few minutes.
5. NOW you can go back and wipe down with alcohol or bleach water solution any door handles, car parts, etc. that you may have touched upon coming home.
You can also do your laundry mindfully, and wash your hands and forearms again. Read here for Why Soap Works.
Make a game of it. Smile. Remember biology class from high school, think about how much you love being well, and protecting the health of those you love. While you may feel a bit neurotic, it’s not. It’s skillful. This practice, in this time, is taking time to make time to be more mindful. This is mind training. You will profit from embracing it as such.
✓ Let Your Items Sit for 3 to 72 Hours
As referenced above, COVID-19 has a half-life rate, and dies off over time. Anything that you bring to your house, or is delivered, is a potential source of COVID-19. Knowing this is a major asset to you. Here are the SARS-CoV-2 viability on surfaces from a study in the New England Journal of Medicine:
Aerosol - 3 hrs
Copper - 4 hrs
Cardboard - 24 hrs
Stainless steel - 48 hrs
Plastic - 72 hrs
When you bring anything in from shopping or delivery, put it in a designated place and leave it there for an appropriate amount of time. Items inside of boxes could have the viable virus still on them, so wipe with alcohol or spray/wipe with a bleachwater solution and allow to air dry.
Also very important: Coronaviruses can live in the freezer for up to 2 years. So, when you get foodstuffs out of the freezer - if it is a package not washed coming back from the store, COVID-19 could still be viable on the package. Place your freezer items in the sink and wash them with soap before opening the package and doing food prep.
Finally, you will profit from reading: How To Disinfect Food And Your Kitchen For Coronavirus.
Equipment
☐ Crock Pot / Slow Cooker
You’ve got time. And various cans of soup and beans. And rice and quinoa. Perhaps too many tomato products or leftover meat, or meat you bought stocking up that you just don’t know what to do with. Spices in the drawer. And potatoes and onions.
Fill up the Crock Pot in the morning, set it and forget it. In the afternoon or evening, you will have a well-cooked, filling meal that everyone will love. And in many cases, such cookery will last for several meals.
☐ High Speed Blender
A Vitamix or Blendtec. Purpose: blending produce into soups (hot or cold); making Smoothies; Nut/Seed Mylks; Sorbets out of nothing but frozen fruit. The most useful appliance in your kitchen, hands down, for turning whole foods into excellent things.
☐ Chest Freezer
Our grandparents of the WWII generation had ‘em. You might already have one. Top-down chest freezers are energy-efficient when full. A 5 to 7 cubic foot chest freezer can hold 4-8 weeks of frozen whole food items for a family of 4. You can find them on local used listings - but even if you need to acquire a new one, it’s worth it for peace of mind and to reduce exposure and spread of COVID-19.
☐ Quart Sized Glass Jars (Wide Mouth)
These jars are: great for stocking dried fruit and nuts, perfect for drinking glasses; useful for storing leftovers; canning food. All-around useful. The Rainoshek kitchen uses them exclusively (in pint and quart size) for drinking and food storage. If you don’t have any, get 24-36 and get organizing.
☐ Make Your Own Green Sprouts with a Jar or Sprouter
☐ Use a Face Mask
Until recently, the World Health Organization said the only people who needed to wear masks during the coronavirus pandemic were caretakers of a person suspected of having COVID-19, or those who are coughing or sneezing.
Based on the most current research, wearing face masks in public is advisable even for those of us who don’t display symptoms or know of exposure to an infected person.
