Dr. Joel Wallach discussed alternative health approaches and the benefits of remedies and supplements that aid in the body's recovery from many diseases and ailments. He talked about how people from countries in Asia (who have diets lower in gluten) are faring significantly better with COVID than the US population. Doc Wallach believes that gluten products damage the intestines and bone marrow function, which relates to the immune response. The COVID vaccine, he added, will work much better for people on non-gluten diets. More on this in his video, "The Manchurian Prescription."

The mineral selenium supports the immune system and the liver, he continued. Neuropathy in the feet and peripheral areas is usually due to body shrinkage and degenerative disc disease, Wallach said, which he associates with mineral deficiencies. Exercise, which is useful for getting the circulation going, can be detrimental if a person is not supplementing, he suggested. Though Wallach walks five miles a day (divided into smaller intervals), he said he takes such things as MSM, Vitamin D3, and collagen peptides, which help rebuild cartilage and tissue.
