Dr. Joel Wallach shared alternative health approaches and the benefits of remedies and supplements that aid in the body's recovery from many diseases and ailments. He contrasted the high prevalence of COVID-19 in countries like the United States, Mexico, and England with Asian countries such as Taiwan, Thailand, and Japan, where cases are much lower. The determining factor, he believes, is that foods containing gluten (e.g., wheat or oats) are supposedly consumed at far lower rates in the Asian countries; rice, sweet potatoes, and seaweed are consumed in greater quantities there instead. A gluten-free diet, he explained, allows the intestines and bone marrow to help the body repair cells and respond to vaccination.

But avoiding gluten has benefits that go well beyond protection against coronavirus, according to Dr. Wallach. In his discussion with callers, he claimed that the ailments they described—ranging from diabetes to autism to Alzheimer's disease—could essentialy be treated through his health program that calls for a gluten-free diet. Getting enough minerals is also a requirement for proper health, he said, noting that humans need about 90 total nutrients to live. Wallach said he fully expects this strict health and nutrition regimen to allow him to one day become a supercentenarian: someone who lives to 110 years and beyond.
