Beating Epstein-Barr Naturally

Dr. Cailen Braund, DCFebruary 16, 2025 2 min read

If there’s one thing Dr. Royal Lee emphasized, it was the importance of calcium in fighting viruses. Over and over, he stressed that to support your immune system properly, you need calcium lactate—but not just any calcium. You must be able to assimilate and move that calcium where it’s needed. That’s where Cataplex D and, more importantly, Cataplex F come into play.

Cataplex F is unique because it doesn’t just help calcium absorption; it also contains iodine, an essential nutrient with powerful antiviral and antibacterial properties. Many people overlook the role of iodine in immune health, but it’s critical for putting calcium and other immune-supporting nutrients to work in the body.

Oxidizing the Virus with Whole Food Vitamin C

Another key to immune defense? Oxidizing the virus. That’s where whole-food vitamin C comes in, specifically Cataplex C. Unlike synthetic ascorbic acid, which only represents one fraction of vitamin C, whole food Cataplex C provides the full spectrum of cofactors needed for proper immune function. This helps your body break down and eliminate viral invaders effectively.

What About Epstein-Barr?

If you’re dealing with Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), your immune system needs even more targeted support. That’s where Congaplex, Immuplex, and Viranon come in:

• Congaplex – The go-to for acute immune support, packed with calcium, vitamin A, and C to bolster defenses.

• Immuplex – A broad-spectrum immune support that nourishes your system at a deeper level with essential trace minerals and glandular support.

• Viranon – A powerhouse supplement featuring immune-supporting herbs that help fight viral invaders.

The #1 Mistake Practitioners Make

One of the biggest mistakes practitioners make? Not dosing high enough. They think they need to add more supplements instead of simply increasing the dosage of the right ones. The body needs enough of these nutrients to make a difference, and too often, people underdose, failing to see results.

The Bottom Line

If you want to support your body naturally against viruses—whether it’s Epstein-Barr, a seasonal virus, or anything else—you need to focus on calcium, iodine, whole-food vitamin C, and the right immune-targeting supplements. The key is not just what you take but how much and how well your body can absorb and utilize those nutrients.
