Anglo-French academic author Edouard d�Araille releases new book "AVD: The Anti-Viral Diet," based on the work of over 1000 scientific researchers into anti-viral and immune-enhancing properties of more than 50 dietary ingredients. "AVD" sets forth evidence from hundreds of scientific articles corroborating most of these ingredients may be potential prevention against - or treatments for - SARS-CoV-2 and COVID-19. Edouard d'Araille has released "AVD" in 2 editions - popular & academic.
Edouard d�Araille has stated that: �I truly believe that millions of lives could be saved from viral illnesses if we learn to incorporate anti-viral ingredients into our diet - ingredients having the corroboration of scientific evidence and not based on mere rumour or opinion.�
Previous releases by Edouard d�Araille include "Adapa�s Ascent - The First Story"(2020), "Que Sais-Je? - A Chronology of Thought" (2002) and "Words Can�t Hold..." (2011). He is current series editor of the "Nobel Prize Collection" for Living Time Books.
AVD advances in three stages which progressively introduce the idea of an "Anti-Viral Diet."
In Part 1 the author defines this as: �a diet whose primary purpose is to counteract viral threats and to maximize the ability of our immune systems to fight off both viruses and viral diseases.� The impact of Coronaviruses on us is considered - above all SARS-CoV-2 - plus scientific evidence in favour of investigating the potential of anti-viral dietary ingredients.
Part 2 explores the anti-viral and/or immunomodulatory properties of fifty-two natural ingredients - found in or as food - in each case indicating which viruses they have been shown to act against or how the immune system can be enhanced by them. SARS-CoV-2, Influenza viruses, HIV, Ebola, Yellow Fever, Dengue and Zika are just some of those included.
Finally, Part 3 sets forth the outline of a preliminary "Anti-Viral Diet," which shows how to incorporate some of the ingredients from Part 2 into one�s daily dietary intake. AVD is based on the research of over 1000 scientists and each section is web-linked with online resources that present studies, reviews and trials in support of the anti-viral ingredients.
Two editions of AVD are available. The "COVID-19 Edition" focuses on identifying dietary ingredients that may be effective against SARS-CoV-2 and COVID-19, while the "ACADEMY Edition" incorporates 200 pages of extra scientific research data. "The Science Behind AVD" - which explains the molecular mechanisms of anti-viral ingredients - is out Nov. 2020. 10% of all profits from both editions of AVD are being donated toward anti-viral research.
