What could be suggestive integrative treatment be for viral infections as a whole?

• Olive leaf extract
  • Dose: 500 ‐ 1,000mg twice daily
  • Mechanism: it inhibits cell-to-cell membrane fusion that happen when virus’s replication in a cell.  This suggests that there are interactions with the viral envelope.
• Bitter melon extract
  • Dose: 250mg twice daily
  • Mechanism: Antiviral activity is its inhibitory effects on the virus integrating into host cells. Research has also demonstrated reduced rates of T lymphocyte infections and reduced viral replication in infected cells.
• Vitamin C
  • Dose: 300‐500mg three times per day (maximum of 10g / day)
  • Mechanism: it increases the production of the anti-viral cytokine, increased but production of anti-viral cytokine, interferon (IFN)-α/β, which has major anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidative effects. It is believed that the interferon (IFN)-α/β plays an important role in the regulation of optimal temperature for viral genes, and most likely would destabilize proteins at either suboptimal levels or hyperthermia levels as a possible therapeutic approach.
• Vitamin D3
  • Dose: 1,000‐2,000 IU daily
  • Mechanism: Though vitamin D’s anti-viral mechanism has not been fully established, it may be linked to vitamin D’s ability to up-regulate the anti-microbial peptides LL-37 (the combination of the anti-biofilm effect and wound-healing properties and immunological effect) and human beta defensin 2 (acts as an endogenous antimicrobial in the defence, among which the potential pathogenic microbes)
• A high‐quality antioxidant complexes, Spirulina/Chlorella (inhibits viral replication and plaque formation in a broad range of viruses) and Medi-Mushroom (it has cytopathic effect on the virus, is has immunostimulant effect and has inhibition of the reverse transcriptase via ribosome inactivation protein)
• Coriolus versicolor (PSK/PSP):
  • 3g daily po
  • Coriolus versicolor’s polysaccharide peptide (PSP) has been demonstrated to possess immunomodulatory properties with the ability to activate an innate immune response through Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) showing insignificant toxicity.
• Colloidal Silver
  • Dose:  10ml bd po
  • The presence of colloidal silver near a virus, fungi, bacterium or any other single celled pathogen like viruses disables its oxygen-metabolism enzyme and thereby induce apoptosis.
• Vitamin C in high dose with UV low level laser therapy has proven to be a strong antiviral combination.
• Intravenous Laser Therapy, especially blue and ultraviolet laser can be extremely beneficial in the treatment of any viral affliction.
