About this program

Some infections don't fully resolve with a single course of treatment — chronic H. pylori, lingering Epstein-Barr reactivation, or Lyme co-infections are the classic examples — and often persist below the radar of standard testing while still driving fatigue, brain fog, and low-grade immune symptoms. This program reaches for the broadest-spectrum herbal antimicrobials available: goldenseal and garlic for their traditional and berberine/allicin-documented antimicrobial activity, echinacea and guduchi (giloy) for immune support, and thyme and holy basil rounding out the combination's respiratory and adaptogenic reach.

How it works

Load Up builds herb levels up gradually rather than starting at full strength, partly to manage the "herx" die-off reaction some people experience as pathogens break down; Sustained Assault is the longest phase, keeping antimicrobial herb levels high and consistent since intermittent dosing is a common reason chronic infections persist; and Restore Microbiome rebuilds beneficial bacteria that broad-spectrum antimicrobial herbs affect alongside the pathogens.

Goal

Eliminate chronic bacterial, viral, and fungal burdens — including stealth pathogens (Epstein-Barr, H. pylori, Lyme co-infections) — using the broadest-spectrum herbal antimicrobials.

Benefits

Elimination of chronic H. pyloriReduced viral loadImproved immune functionResolution of chronic sinusitisBetter gut healthReduced autoimmune triggers

Is this right for you?

Some dietary discipline required — best if you've completed a gentle program before.

Best suited to those with a confirmed or strongly suspected chronic infection (via testing, ideally) working alongside a healthcare provider — not intended as a routine immune boost, given the Moderate intensity and specificity of what it's targeting.

🌅

Morning Flush

On waking

500ml warm water with fresh lemon juice

Thyme & Tulsi Antimicrobial Tea — steep 8–10 min before breakfast

Goldenseal (Hydrastis canadensis) — Berberine is active against over 30 bacterial species including MRSA and H. pylori

Garlic (Allium sativum) — Allicin is broadly antimicrobial — antibacterial, antiviral, anti-fungal, anti-parasitic

🥗

Midday Support

With lunch

Favor: All whole foods, Garlic and onion generously, Coconut oil, Ginger

Garlic & Ginger Decoction — steep 8–10 min

Echinacea (Echinacea purpurea) — Stimulates innate immune response — macrophage and NK cell activation against pathogens

Guduchi (Giloy) (Tinospora cordifolia) — Immune modulator with direct antiviral activity — used in Ayurveda for dengue, HIV, and hepatitis

🌙

Wind Down

Evening

Echinacea Immune Tea — steep 8–10 min

Thyme (Thymus vulgaris) — Thymol is lethal to a vast range of bacteria including antibiotic-resistant strains

Holy Basil (Tulsi) (Ocimum tenuiflorum) — Broad-spectrum antiviral (active against EBV, HSV, flu viruses) and antibacterial

Avoid food 2–3 hours before bed to support overnight detoxification

Goldenseal

Hydrastis canadensis

Berberine is active against over 30 bacterial species including MRSA and H. pylori

Used in this program

  • Take Goldenseal capsule (500mg) 3x daily with meals — do not exceed 3 weeks total.
  • Stop Goldenseal — it kills beneficial bacteria in prolonged use.

Garlic

Allium sativum

Allicin is broadly antimicrobial — antibacterial, antiviral, anti-fungal, anti-parasitic

Used in this program

  • Raw garlic: 4–6 cloves daily (crush and wait 10 minutes before consuming).

Full herb profile

Echinacea

Echinacea purpurea

Stimulates innate immune response — macrophage and NK cell activation against pathogens

Used in this program

  • Take Echinacea tincture (2ml, 3x daily) — immune activation to hunt pathogens.
  • Transition to Echinacea and Guduchi as ongoing immune maintenance.

Load Up

Days 1–5

Take Goldenseal capsule (500mg) 3x daily with meals — do not exceed 3 weeks total.

Raw garlic: 4–6 cloves daily (crush and wait 10 minutes before consuming).

Brew Thyme + Tulsi tea — 4 cups per day throughout protocol.

Take Echinacea tincture (2ml, 3x daily) — immune activation to hunt pathogens.

Eliminate all sugar — pathogens feed on glucose.

Support gut with Slippery Elm tea to prevent gut irritation from herbal antibiotics.

Sustained Assault

Days 6–12

Continue full antimicrobial protocol.

Add Guduchi tablet (500mg twice daily) — especially effective against viral burdens.

Introduce oil of oregano (2 drops in olive oil carrier, twice daily) for fungal co-infections.

Maintain strict sugar-free, anti-inflammatory diet throughout.

Sauna 3x per week — hyperthermia weakens pathogen survival.

Ensure sleep 8–9 hours — immune system does 70% of pathogen clearance during sleep.

Note: die-off (Herxheimer) reactions indicate pathogens are dying — increase water intake.

Restore Microbiome

Days 13–14

Stop Goldenseal — it kills beneficial bacteria in prolonged use.

Heavy probiotic loading: 100 billion CFU multi-strain.

Transition to Echinacea and Guduchi as ongoing immune maintenance.

Introduce fermented foods.

Test for residual infections if symptoms persist after 4 weeks.

Sample daily eating

Whole-food meals anchored in garlic and onion's broad antimicrobial activity, with sugar and processed food removed since they're what feeds unwanted organisms.

Breakfast

Herbal tea with Ginger and Turmeric

Use Garlic and onion generously at every meal, cook with Coconut oil, Ginger, and Turmeric for their traditional antimicrobial properties, and build around Clean protein and All vegetables — adding Fermented foods back in once Phase 3 begins.

Supporting teas

Thyme & Tulsi Antimicrobial Tea
