That is mostly common sense.
They miss out SELENIUM as that is one mineral that is often deficient in many areas (US readers need to check

The sentence ," unrefined fats from crops (nuts and seeds)," needs clarification as while coconut oil and olive oil are safe industrial seed oils such as corn, soybean, safflower, sunflower and cottonseed oil and all the commercial foods that contain them, are a significant part of the problem.

It's probably worth pointing out that quality of sleep is important, Ideally from 8pm it's worth trying to improve melatonin secretion by using a Free downloadable program like flux to reduce the brightness of you monitor screen so you aren't getting bright light directly through your eyes in the evening. Eliminating all sources of light from the bedroom is also important to improve quality of sleep.

Don't forget if you do have to take oral antibiotics you will need to take probiotics for months to restore your gut flora. Ideally keeping immune status high with zinc, vitamin d, curcumin should reduce the incidence of infection.
