Long COVID Protocol
🕑 Added 2021-07-12 03:25:25 +0000 UTCWith those with Long COVID and gene therapy side effects that I've worked with thus far, I've noted the primary factors typically include mitochondrial dysfunction, systemic and neuroinflammation, nutritional depletion across the board, immune system dysfunction/autoimmunity, and iron toxicity. The best protection against the gene therapy itself is not getting it whatsoever and relying on your own adaptive immunity with optimal health and additional support, but the following will be of great help in managing symptoms and/or resolving them altogether.
To begin to address these factors and resume your normal daily life again, these factors MUST be addressed for the body to begin to repair itself.
There are 3 to 4 stages or scenarios involved here:
- 1.) Natural ACE2 blockers (mentioned below) to prevent spike proteins from entering/infecting cells
- 2.) Post-gene therapy recovery treatment/management
- 3.) Protect yourself and others from naive shedders
- 4.) Prep for the next fake lockdown in December
For diet, you will to eliminate ALL SIMPLE CARBS for this duration and stick purely to complex carbs with the fiber/micronutrient/active constituent factors included. Except for FIBER. LIGNAN Fiber specifically is the key, from ground/soaked flax and chia and rice bran, carrots, and peeled/deseeded cucumbers, but not really available from other sources. Small amounts of some high fiber root foods can be extra helpful like beets, ginger (useful for any nausea, though oral cannabis oil is as well), and astragalus. You will also want to eliminate the following to reset inflammation levels to a baseline:
- Refined Sucrose, and artificial sweeteners
- Soy in all of its forms
- Corn in all of its forms
- Grains (gluten/bread, legumes/beans, nuts included, legumes and nuts only if soaked/sprouted if applicable)
- Industrialized vegetable/seed oils
- Low-quality commercial animals
- Alcohol
- Caffeine
- Smoke
These dietary/lifestyle factors inhibit proper immune system function. You would also do well to resolve metabolic dysfunction or insulin resistance if present with a low carb diet, regular resistance exercise, daily sunlight exposure, magnesium saturation, inositol, and black seed oil. Chromium, vanadium, and berberine may also be of use here in resensitizing insulin metabolism. The common advice of a nutrient-dense whole foods based diet is more important in this context than ever. Focus first on protein intake to ensure sufficient protein every day, then consume fats and complex carbs to satiation after the protein has been accounted for. You can use the Cronometer app to get an idea for your general nutrient intake and make adjustments/include supplements where necessary to fill any gaps, especially if your appetite is suffering.
As for supplement factors, I've noted the following to be effective in this situation... (as always, start slow and low to gauge your response and work your way up as you find you tolerate them)
- Melatonin: focus on sunrise, midday, and sunset direct sunlight exposure first and foremost, but start with up to 5mg on day one upon onset of symptoms, day two: up to 20mg with 16mg at night before sleep and 4mg during the daytime, if there is no improvement by day three: 50mg melatonin with 40mg at night before bed and 10mg during the daytime, and day four: 80mg with 60mg taken at night before bed and 20mg during the daytime). Continue at this dosage until resolution. This is useful for its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and pro-mitochondria function properties. See bottom links for more info.
- Niacin: Must be in the form of nicotinic acid, up to 3000mg per day. Start with a low dose of 50-100mg and begin to work you way up gradually as you find you tolerate it. This is best paired with trimethylglycine/betaine at a 1:1 ratio and/or methylcobalamin to maintain methyl stores and avoid methyl depletion/liver damage. An activated B complex wouldn't hurt either. This is useful for shifting the biological environment from pro-inflammatory to anti-inflammatory, as well as energy metabolism/mitochondrial function.
- Thiamine: Thiamine is completely non-toxic, but you will want to begin at a low dosage of 10-25mg to gauge your response in case of refeeding syndrome. You can safely increase to 3000-5000mg of thiamine hydrochloride, 300-600mg benfotiamine, or 100-500mg thiamine tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide (TTFD). Start with thiamine HCL to play it safe initially. This should also be paired with an activated B complex, and you will will to maintain high magnesium and potassium intake as these factors may be depleted with the increased energy metabolism. This is useful for for its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and pro-energy metabolism/mitochondria properties.
- Special note: Riboflavin up to 400mg. Start low at 5-25mg. This is useful for its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and pro-energy metabolism/mitochondria properties.
- Myoinositol trispyrophosphate: This improves oxygen uptake and availability, as well as energy metabolism by supplying phosphorus. Consume recommended dosage on label.
- Lysine: Up to 16000mg (16g). This is necessary for immune system function and all cell wall membranes, thus essential for survival. Kefir and yogurt are the highest food sources for this amino acid.
- Magnesium: High concentration saturation from multiple forms and routes of administration is preferable here. If serious relief is needed or seizures are present, up to 1-3 tbsp can be dissolved in a glass of water and drank. For seizure prevention, SOAK the back of the skull, entire neck, and full upper body and follow up with 2000mg l-theanine dissolved under the tongue and/or in a glass of water. Have 1/4-1 tsp per liter of water of the magnesium chloride and other forms (glycinate, malate, taurate, threonate to bowel tolerance, which will be individual).
- Myo-inositol and Inositol hexaphosphate: Up to 6 tbsp of raw powder of each can be consumed in times of serious health recovery. This provides the raw building blocks for ATP development (energy metabolism/mitochondria function) while being potently antioxidant in every tissue of the body, similarly to melatonin. Best in combination for full benefit.
DAILY SUNLIGHT EXPOSURE IS CRUCIAL. It was utilized during the Spanish Flu to recovery patients, and now it is being totally ignored. Aside from vitamin D production (which if you're experiencing these related symptoms and/or have low vitamin D levels, supplementation can be useful here paired with magnesium, riboflavin, vitamin A/retinol, sunlight exposure, proper gut microbiome health, and low inflammation to properly convert into its active form, please confirm with blood test before supplementing), sunlight exposure is crucial to energizing your T CELL FUNCTION. Read more here.
"When a T cell is exposed to a foreign pathogen, it extends a signaling device or ‘antenna' known as a vitamin D receptor. It then searches for vitamin D. If there is an inadequate vitamin D level, they won't begin to mobilize. In order for T cells to become active members of the body's immune system, they must transition from naive T cells into either killer cells or helper cells (which then remember specific invaders). If vitamin D is not around, the T cells do not make that crucial transition. This requirement might seem like a handicap to the immune system, but the additional step involving the vitamin D receptor serves an important evolutionary function: keeping T cells from ravaging healthy tissue. T cells are capable of explosive proliferation and can help trigger a cytokine storm. The lag phase imposed by the vitamin D receptor step diminishes the risk of unwanted immunopathology. Creating a more orderly response." - Dr. Urso, @richardursomd on Twitter

Quoted from my Immune System Support protocol...
"HERBAL MEDICINES:
- Astragalus membranaceus (immunomodulatory, antiviral)
- Uncaria tomentosa (Peruvian Cat's claw) (immunostimulant, increases WBCs, antiviral)
- Nigella sativa (black seed) oil (immunomodulatory, bronchodilatory, anti-inflammatory,, protects against spike protein, antiviral, pro-mitochondria via redox)
- Cinchona bark (quinine) (immunomodulatory, anti-inflammatory, kills off anything non-human in the body, protects against spike protein, antiviral, pro-mitochondria via redox)
- Andrographis (immunomodulatory, anti-inflammatory, kills off anything non-human in the body, protects against spike protein, antiviral, major genetic regulation enabling apoptosis)
- Pine needle in tea or essential oil/terpenes are what we're looking at here (protection against spike protein shedding)
Special mentions: White and red peony (Paeonia lactiflora and Paeonia suffruticosa), Peganum harmala (5 grams of seeds soaked overnight in 1 gallon of distilled water, have 1/2 cup in the morning and 1/2 cup before sleep), Rehmannia glutinosa (prepared root), Jujube date, Sophora flavescens (Ku shen)
The addition of andrographis and multiform mega quinine/quinone sources are crucial keys for genetic regulation and all detox functions/chemistry.
Andrographis preparation: Make infusion in 1 liter jar, put in 1 oz andrographis, fill jar with boiled water, put lid on tight and let sit overnight, then take 1 shooter glass of it up to 4 times a day for serious issues)
Cinchona preparation: For person with sickness, 2 grams of Cinchona bark powder for 1 liter boiled water, Consume 250ml of tea up to 4 times a day. Also has been tested for good effect to make liter of tea and put into steam diffuser in bedroom where the rest and sleep occurs. This gets direct to lungs to clear them of mucus. That also sterilizes the room as the mist gets onto every surface. The people attending to the sick person should have 1g powder daily for prevention to ensure they cannot contract COVID. And best to ensure that all involved in sick care maintain daily consumption of zinc, vitamin C, and vitamin D for immune support And eliminate all simple carb consumption till recovery is complete.
(Check for interactions if on medications or drugs)
DON'T forget the quinones to support redox status:
Thymoquinone from Black seed oil
Coenzyme-Q10 (COQ-10)
Pyrroloquinoline quinone (PQQ)
Vitamin K2 MK4/MK7 (menaquinone)
Cinchona bark
Aloe-emodin/emodin from Aloe
Emodin from Japanese knotweed and Fo-ti
(Preferably all of the above if possible, they are necessary for supporting redox status aside from sunlight exposure, or your body's ability to deal with stress and inflammation/oxidative stress. Many of these molecules protect against the spike protein again)
Vitamin D/sunlight exposure, vitamin K2, curcumin/turmeric, berberine, ginseng, etc. can help to inhibit ACE2.
Decrease blue/artificial light and EMF exposure. If you are able to, step outside in nature and ground with sole to earth. Leave phones at home or on airplane mode, at the very least. Unplug WiFi connection before sleep.
Stress management is vital here. Disengage from media if stressed. The fear induction feeds into immune system suppression. Start focusing on prevention."
In addition to this protocol, please review the Unbound Iron Detox protocol, Immune System Support protocol, and the Tryptophan-kynurenine Immune System article for additional explanation and information related to recovery.
As always, please feel free to ask any questions if you have any or require clarification. Stay safe, family. Please share with friends and family and stock up on all necessary ingredients.
