Starve the Coronavirus!! Stop Eating Wheat and Grains Right Now.

Yesterday, the Wall Street Journal identified an important observation: The United States has more Coronavirus cases than anywhere in the world. Why? Our diet. We eat modified wheat, which as a polysaccharide not only feeds the virus as a simple sugar, but is pro-inflammatory. No doubt there are many contributory factors, but in the U.S. the Coronavirus could become a modified wheat, viral storm.

Most of us know that grain polysaccharides metabolize into simple sugars. However, do consumers realize our wheat contains pro-inflammatory defense genes? These plant defense genes, also called lectins, protect the plant against viruses and bacteria etc. enabling the plant’s survival. God made plant defense genes strong enough for the plant to survive, yet weak enough for human consumption. In the U.S., these plant lectins have been modified by man to produce heartier crops. Sounds good, but unbeknownst to most of us, these plants are no longer ‘weak enough’ for human consumption. Internally, this modified wheat causes a significant immune response.

When humans eat wheat, internally these lectins attach to our collagen fibers. Collagen fibers are widespread in tissues, including in the lungs. Our immune system recognizes these foreign lectins attached to collagen fibers and attacks. The immune system’s chemical response deteriorates the lectins and the collagen fibers. (It appears that the body is attacking itself (e.g. autoimmune disease)). This attack is most noticeable in the lungs where lectins and the resultant inflammation inhibit air exchange (e.g. asthma). Viruses such as the Coronavirus will thrive in the internal inflammation caused by a pro-inflammatory wheat diet.

Let’s consider China’s diet. Assumably, the Chinese eat a lot of rice. Rice and yams only have one defense lectin. It appears that China does not have genetically modified rice. Rice is supposedly the least immunogenic food, so the amount of internal inflammation from the Chinese rice diet should be low.

Now let’s consider Italy’s diet. Italians probably eat a lot of wheat pasta. Wheat has two defense lectins, making Italian wheat more immunogenic than the one lectin, Chinese rice. Europe typically does not allow wheat modification. (People who experience gastrointestinal problems eating American wheat, tend to consume European wheat unaffected.) However, it’s unclear how much modification the Italians allow. Italian wheat pasta with two lectins (with/without modification) would be more immunogenic than China’s one lectin rice.

How will the virus affect Mexico where they eat corn? Corn has two lectins, so its fairly immunogenic. However, Mexico probably doesn’t modify their corn. Mexico should likely fair better than the U.S., but possibly worse than China, maybe similar to Italy, as has been mentioned.

In the U.S. we eat a two lectin, wheat diet. Being modified wheat, those two lectins are far more immunogenic than God’s original two wheat lectins, making America’s diet pro-inflammatory. The inflammation is particularly noticeable in lung tissue, the perfect storm for a Coronavirus.

To stop the Coronavirus, we have externally experimented by shuttering our economy to “stop the spread” and “flatten the curve”. In some parts, citizens and businesses are threatened with jail time for failing to comply with our external experiments. Yet internally, we are feeding the virus pro-inflammatory polysaccharide sugars at every meal. Once attached, it is most difficult to remove wheat lectins from collagen tissue. Yes indeed, America has and unfortunately may continue to have more Coronavirus deaths than other countries.

What should our country do? Like washing our hands and protecting our face externally, we should add internal protection. Stop feeding the virus wheat and grains three times a day. By offering a virulent organism little fuel our COVID-19 cases will be milder, thereby reducing hospitalizations, respirator use, and fatalities. Please help decrease the threat to yourself, our first responders, and our medical community. Delete the wheat and grains from your diet if possible for a while.

One day, America might understand how this pandemic spread like wildfire on man-made wheat and grains.

C.S. Lewis tells this story in the 1942 Screwtape Letters:

Jesus: “I will bring together neighbors, restore the family unit, I will bring dinner back to the kitchen table. I will help people slow down their lives and appreciate what really matters. I will teach my children to rely on me and not the world. I will teach my children to trust me and not their money and material resources.”

Note: Long term, if you decide to eat gluten free diet or keto, remember that grains are sources of B complex vitamins, amino acids like methionine and lysine, and minerals such as selenium and manganese. Please include these nutrients in your diet or supplement.

Note: It is difficult to remove wheat lectins attached to collagen fibers. Wheat gluten is a plastic used in auto part and credit card manufacturing. Try exchanging air across plastic film. Aspirin breaks the sulfyhydryl bonds in wheat gluten detaching it from collagen. Citrus pectin (grapefruit, lemons, orange peel and pulp) also binds wheat gluten, removing it from tissues. In general, drug manufacturers know this information, but medicine does not. (Please consult your pharmacist regarding grapefruit and aspirin ingestion warnings.)
