How the Protocol Works

I learned from personal experience that eliminating the Covid virus S1 (spike) and N (nucleocapsid) protein remnants is the most important goal of this protocol. 

I also discovered that eliminating the virus remnants is very difficult to do. Because if they are not completely eliminated quickly enough, they seem to slowly replicate and come back again. 

Also, if the immune system is still compromised and the body is deficient of some key nutrients, it can be difficult if not impossible for your body to fully eradicate the virus protein traces. 

So, it is critical to hit them hard with a three-stage approach using the collective and synergistic power of these regimens and behavioral therapies together: 

Stage 1 – Replenish, reduce symptoms, and repair immune system: 

• Deactivate Hyper-Immune Response and Viral Activity
• Replenish Depleted Nutrients to Help Heal Body
• Repair Immune System
• Recover Brain & Neurological System
• Detoxify Body & Brain

Stage 2 – Virus protein remnant eradication:

• Fully Eradicate Remaining Spike and Nucleocapsid Protein Virus Traces

Stage 3 – Rebuild stamina, restore core energy and perform final deep detox:

• Detox and eliminate any remaining heavy metals and plaque
• Use adaptogens to restore core vital energy levels
• Start reconditioning body with light exercises 
• Increase cognitive function through brain puzzles and exercises

Purpose: To significantly reduce the over-reactive immune response (Long Covid symptoms and inflammation) to help you start functioning again, and stop further damage to the body and brain. This regimen also appears to significantly lower viral activity and the quantity of virus protein remnants in the body and is part of Stage 1 of the virus protein remnant eradication.

You can become more functional again by dampening down the over-reactive immune response to the remaining virus proteins. This appears to significantly reduce inflammation, and virtually eliminates the symptoms of MCAS (Mast Cell Activation Syndrome), POTS (Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome), CFS (chronic fatigue syndrome) and many other Long Covid afflictions such as those caused by fibrin amyloid microclots. 

This part of the protocol is called “Deactivate Hyper-Immune Response” and is done using Cistus Incanus tea, Stevia, Andrographis, Licorice Root, Black Cumin Seed Oil, Quercetin, NAC, Curcumin, Stevia, Zinc, Serrapeptase and Nattokinase. 

The Turkey Tail and Chaga mushrooms that are part of the "5 Defenders Mushrooms" complex help to start the process of healing the gut microbiome and aiding in the clearing out of any virus protein remnants potentially hidden in the gut microbiome in addition to repairing the immune system. 

Reducing the Long Covid symptoms and body inflammation can help you to start feeling better and living life again, usually after about four or five weeks on the protocol. It is at this point in the Long Covid recovery journey that you want to start doing very light exercise to slowly rebuild your body’s core strength, little by little. But absolutely don't push it too hard.

Another major reason to lower the symptoms and inflammation as quickly as possible is because long term inflammation is suspected of causing damage to your vital organs--and your brain.

Through experience, I learned that these ten supplements - Cistus Incanus tea, Andrographis, Nettle Leaf, Licorice Root, Black Cumin Seed Oil, Quercetin, Serrapeptase, Nattokinase, Tryptophan and NAC - were extremely critical. As long as I kept taking them, I felt better. And when I would stop any one of them for a few days or a week, I would feel the Long Covid symptoms insidiously creep back in.

I also strongly believe, based on my personal experience, that this “Deactivate Hyper-Immune Response” regimen contributed strongly to helping eradicate the Covid S1 and N proteins and rebuilding my damaged gut microbiome.  Several of these ingredients are broad spectrum and multitherapeutic as well as strong antivirals that likely reduced the spike and nucleocapsid protein viral load and activity in my body.

Purpose: To replenish the NAD+ system and key nutrients to help heal and rebuild the Covid-damaged areas of the body. It also helps rebuild the gut microbiome. 

Note: This regimen addresses Long Covid factors number 4 and 5 (Depletion of Key Nutrients, Bodily Injuries & Damage). 

This regimen is also part of Stage 1 of the virus protein remnant eradication, in that it accelerates the body healing in preparation for Stage 2.

Replenish depleted nutrients to heal and rebuild your body with Myovite, Nicotinamide Riboside & Pterostilbene (for NAD+), CoQ10, Alpha Lipoic Acid, Ginseng, Probiotics and Liquid I.V.®

While in the process of reducing the inflammation and symptoms, you can start to rebuild and heal the injured areas and restore depleted vitamins, minerals, and other vital nutrients that Covid leaches from the body during the original infection.  I recommend adding Collagen Peptides, Fish Oil, and Creatine along with the daily vitamins to help speed up healing. If you’re over the age of 50, you probably want to add 50 mg DHEA per day, to boost your hormone levels, which can potentially help your body heal faster. Continue this part of the protocol for at least a full twelve weeks to help the body heal completely. 

I like the way I feel so much with these “Replenish & Heal Your Body” supplements, that I’ve kept taking them all even after I finished the protocol.

I found this regimen to be an important preparation before starting Stage 2 of eradicating the remaining virus protein traces.

Purpose: To repair and rebuild the immune system so that you can fully recover from Long Covid. And to eliminate or at least reduce everything causing the immune system to be compromised. This regimen is also part of Stage 1 of the virus protein eradication, in that it strengthens the immune system in preparation for Stage 2.

The immune system plays a huge role in eliminating threats so that your body can fully heal. It took me doing some major behavioral changes along with immune-rebuilding supplements to restore my immune system to be strong enough to overcome Long Covid.

 My strategy for healing the immune system was twofold: 

A. Repair immune system by replenishing nutrient levels and chemical balance:

I accomplished this by doing three things:

1. Take the immune system repairing supplements (Astragalus, Cordyceps mushroom, Agaricus blazei mushroom, Reishi mushroom, Maitake mushroom, Shiitake mushroom, Chaga mushroom, Turkey Tail mushroom), along with the eleven additional immune modulators that are part of the protocol (Platycodon, Curcumin, Psilocybin mushroom, NAC, Zeolite, Probiotics, Black Cumin Seed oil, Milk Thistle, Artemisinin, Alpha Lipoic Acid, Serrapeptase)
2. Hydrate with electrolyte water daily, using the ‘Replenish and Heal Body’ regimen in the section above.
3. Replenish depleted nutrients such as NAD+, CoQ10, l-Tryptophan and many vitamins and minerals, using the ‘Replenish and Heal Body’ regimen in the section above.

Additional supplements that can help strengthen the immune system and/or gut microbiome are:

• L-Glutamine
• Chlorella
• Taurine
• Saccharomyces Boulardii
• Epicor - fermented Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast (https://epicorimmune.com/)
• AB21 probiotic (https://www.ab21probiotic.com/) 

B.  Eliminate the ongoing threats to the immune system:

1.  Virus remnants (spike protein) remaining in the body, likely responsible for creating autoantibodies, which is your body mistakenly believing it needs to attack your organ tissue. They are probably also responsible for the fibrin amyloid microclots.
   These are eliminated via the “Eradicate Covid Virus Protein Remnants” regimen in the protocol. 
2. Damaged gut microbiome, which negatively affects the immune system and mental health. Gut microbiome dysbiosis is repaired via the nine gut microbiome enhancers that are part of the whole protocol (Probiotics, Digestive Enzymes, Chaga mushroom, Turkey Tail mushroom, Psilocybin mushroom, Zeolite, Andrographis, Ashwagandha, Maitake mushroom).
   The probiotic I used was Visbiome (De Simone Formulation) which worked very well for me.
3. Chronic stress, which the brain often mistakenly confuses as a threat to your life and creates a ‘fight-or-flight response’. This has been shown to suppress both the immune and digestive systems, including the critical gut microbiome.
   I was able to greatly reduce my chronic stress via the separate ‘Reducing Chronic Stress’ regimen.  Meanwhile, microdosing Psilocybin, part of the “Recover Brain” regimen, was a powerful ally in my journey to reduce my chronic stress. It both sped up the process as well as allowed me to uncover the causes of the hidden stress more easily. 

Repairing my immune system was critical to my complete recovery, and repairing the gut microbiome and eliminating my chronic stress was a very important part of that.

Purpose: To recover neurological and brain function through neurogenesis and neuroplasticity therapies.  This regimen is also part of Stage 1 of the virus protein eradication, in that it accelerates the brain and neurological healing in preparation for Stage 2.

I eliminated my brain fog and felt the healing of my injured brain and neurological system using Psilocybin microdoses with Lion’s Mane and Ashwagandha. Part of the healing process is giving your brain and central nervous system the neurogenesis and neuroplasticity tools it needs to repair the neurological damage caused by Covid.

Start microdosing Psilocybin by taking it three days in a row, then taking four days off. Repeat this rhythm of three days on, four days off for the second week.   You should notice a significant improvement in your brain function. Then reduce it to once or twice a week starting on week three, which I’ve kept doing ever since.

If you sense that your brain needs significantly more healing, you can repeat the three-day microdosing. Take four days off from micro-dosing between the three-day sessions.  I also found that meditating each morning for ten to twenty minutes and journaling seemed to make the microdosing even more useful.

I also took 5 – 6 mg Melatonin and 500 mg Tryptophan each night just before going to bed, which had a calming effect and helped me sleep a bit better.

I found that this regimen also contributed to reducing my chronic stress, which is also critical to do in fully healing from Long Covid. 

I also used a combination of daily guided meditation and journaling, along with weekly sessions of talking therapy with a therapist to work through the root causes of my chronic stress, which I discovered were based on unresolved childhood trauma dealing with my father. 

I also found the talking therapy to be much more effective when I did it while microdosing psilocybin. 

The psilocybin enabled me to be more open and talk about things that I normally find uncomfortable to do. Using psilocybin significantly sped up the progress made during the therapy sessions. 

I cannot overemphasize how important it was to eliminate chronic stress for a full recovery.  

Purpose: To fully detox the whole body and eliminate the Covid-related debris in addition to the toxins being released through the process of viral cleanup.

This regimen is also part of Stage 1 of the virus protein eradication, in that it uses Zeolite which works both to prep the body for Stage 2, as well as working synergistically with Stage 2.

Clean your body and brain of both the possible leftover damage debris from your initial Covid infection, as well as all the toxins being released due to the viral cleanup, using Burbur, Pinella, Zeolite, Liver Cleanse Complex and EDTA. I can't overemphasize how critical it is to use the detox part of the protocol. 

Start the detox process from day one using just the Burbur and Pinella drops and the Liver Cleanse Complex for the first three weeks, along with the sinus rinses and Epsom salt baths.  

By week five, introduce the Zeolite and start on a strong triple dose of two teaspoons, three times a day. Take this large amount of Zeolite for just one week so it can do a major body cleanup in the beginning and help mop up whatever heavy metals, loose virus remnants and any other debris remain from the original Covid damage. 

This larger amount of Zeolite will also work in partnership with the Chaga and Turkey Tail mushrooms to likely help clean-out the virus protein traces in the gut, in addition to rebuilding the gut microbiome.

By week six, reduce the Zeolite to just two teaspoons/day for the next four weeks. 

On week ten, increase the Zeolite to six teaspoons per day to help mop up any remaining residue from the virus cleanup. 

I still take Zeolite about once a month to make sure it is taking care of any additional toxins, but I don’t believe it is critical to do so.

I posit that Zeolite plays a key role in eradicating the virus protein remnants, working synergistically with the other regimens.  

On week eleven, start taking EDTA for the final two weeks to help chelate any heavy metals or plaque still in your system as part of the final cleanup.

Another part of detoxing is rinsing out your sinuses twice a day with a saline solution designed for this. I believe that this provides two benefits. One, it helps flush out virus traces that may be hiding in the sinuses. And two, it helps the medicines reach the sinuses faster via the moisture it provides.

I also discovered that Epsom salt baths made me feel better. Epsom salt baths can draw out toxins through the skin, which might accelerate the healing process. I used 2 cups of Epsom salt in the bathtub with very warm to hot water, and stayed in the tub for 45 minutes.

Note: If you experience an especially strong Herxheimer effect (body flooded with virus-based toxins), you can always take more Burbur Pinella and Liver Cleanse complex to help accelerate the removal of toxins. 

Purpose: To fully eliminate all remaining traces of the RNA S1 and N protein virus remnants remaining in the body. This is done in two stages with Stage 1 being the five regimens above, and this regimen being Stage 2.

From my experience and the latest research, I hypothesize that the S1 (spike) and N (nucleocapsid) proteins remaining in the body (and possibly even other Covid virus remnants) is the root cause of Long Covid, and eliminating these protein remnants completely is the highest priority of healing from Long Covid.

I discovered through personal experience that removing these virus remnants can be very difficult and is a bit like whack-a-mole in that if not all traces are completely eliminated, they seem to replicate and come back. 

I found that to ensure complete removal ideally requires three separate stages:  

Stage 1 

Stage 1 is a combination of the five regimens mentioned above:

1. Deactivate Hyper-Immune Response and Viral Activity
2. Replenish Depleted Nutrients to Help Heal Body
3. Repair and Modulate Immune System
4. Recover Brain & Neurological System
5. Detoxify Body & Brain

The purpose of Stage 1 is:

• Repairing and recalibrating the immune system so it functions properly.
• Rebuilding the damaged gut microbiome into a healthy state that best supports the immune system. 
• Significantly lowering the spike and nucleocapsid protein viral load and activity in the body.
• Reducing all Long Covid symptoms, so that you start feeling better overall. 
• Protecting the body’s organs by reducing possible fibrin amyloid micro-clotting activity.
• Eliminating most of the inflammation everywhere in the body.
• Healing the brain and most neurological issues
• Rebuilding the NAD+ system and giving the body the necessary nutrients required so that damaged tissue can start healing faster.
• Rebuilding Coenzyme Q10 levels to accelerate cellular-level healing.
• Rebuilding L-Tryptophan levels to accelerate overall recovery.
• Eliminating body, cell, and virus-related toxins leftover from Covid and Long Covid and the overreactive immune response.
• Healing gastrointestinal issues which must be rectified before starting Stage 2.

Stage 2:

Stage 2 uses a combination of Platycodon, Artemisinin, Gum Benzoin and Black Walnut Hull, which are very strong medicines but are required to do the final eradication of the spike and nucleocapsid proteins and/or whatever other Covid remnants are causing the body damage and the overreactive immune response. From my experience, Stage 2 is what I believe eradicated all the remaining virus remnants that may have been hidden in my gut microbiome, biofilms, sinuses, lymph nodes, etc. 

This combination can sometimes feel a little heavy to the digestive tract and can also cause temporary additional exhaustion, which is one of the reasons Stage 2 is delayed until the body is in better shape to tolerate it. 

When to start Stage 2 depends on the severity of your symptoms and whether you have gastrointestinal issues or not. For example, if you have very low symptoms and no gastrointestinal issues, you could probably start Stage 2 right from the beginning (the first week).

I found that starting Stage 2 on week five worked well for me, but I could imagine if someone has symptoms that have not been reduced enough after 4 weeks, they should probably delay starting Stage 2 for another week or two, or until their symptoms have subsided enough that they believe they can tolerate Stage 2.

The Platycodon, Artemisinin, Gum Benzoin and Black Walnut Hull can be powerful drugs that appear to destroy the virus proteins and other possible virus remnants in conjunction with the other antivirals in the protocol. 

While there’s no scientific evidence that verifies this yet, I suspect that these compounds may accomplish this by somehow melting the fatty capsid that surrounds and protects the virus remnants, in addition to other antiviral effects.. 

I found it best to ease into Stage 2. 

•  I started Stage 2 on week five of the protocol, with half doses of the Platycodon, Artemisinin, Gum Benzoin and Black Walnut Hull, to ease the body into acclimating to these strong medicinal herbs.  
• I increased the doses to full, beginning week six, to now start hitting all the remaining virus protein traces hard.
• On week ten I reduced it back to half doses.
• By the start of week eleven, I stopped taking the Platycodon, Artemisinin, Gum Benzoin and Black Walnut Hull.

I recommend taking the Platycodon, Artemisinin, Gum Benzoin and Black Walnut Hull for just six weeks altogether so as not to overwhelm the body. But if the Covid protein viral remnant load is extremely high, it may require extending that for 1 - 2 weeks longer. My rule of thumb was to keep taking these for two weeks after I felt fully recovered to make sure every trace was eradicated.

Over the next several weeks, as the virus traces start to leave the body, the symptoms should continue to be less and less of a problem. The Black Cumin Seed Oil Cistus Incanus, Andrographis, and Quercetin have strong viricidal qualities, and are therefore important partners in eliminating the virus protein traces and should be taken for the full ten weeks. The NAC is also important to keep taking for the full ten weeks to continue lowering inflammation and eliminating oxidizing factors.  

The schedule for weaning off these supplements is up to you and is dependent upon how you’re feeling. I’ve shared what worked for me. Depending on age and the severity of your symptoms, you may need to stay on these for a longer duration, or shorter.

Purpose: To recondition your body and brain back to a pre-Covid condition.

After you've eliminated the virus protein remnants and the over-reactive immune response, and your body's injuries are well on their way towards healing, you’re probably still not in the same physical or mental condition you used to be. Basically, you're out of shape. Long Covid may be gone, but your body has not been as active as it was pre-Covid.

Have some patience with yourself. Slowly increase your exercise and rebuild your body's strength. This could take between one and several months depending on how long you’ve been immobile, and your age.

Reconditioning Your Body

Getting your body back in good physical shape is a key part of healing from Long Covid. And if you’ve been bedridden for more than a few days, it’s even more critical to work up your core strength.

Part of my feeling exhausted had to with my body being terribly out of shape. I was never hospitalized or bedridden, but I went from vigorously exercising pre-Covid, with one-to-three-mile walks and strenuous garden work, to (with Long Covid) sometimes not walking for weeks and mainly sitting at home most of the time.

After I started to feel better, I started rebuilding my body’s core by going on very short walks.  I walked 100 feet the first few days, then increased it slowly by listening to my body, and eventually, at least a mile a day. If you can work your arms with light weights, that’s even better. Five-to-fifteen-pound weights will do the trick.

Final Cleanup
In the final weeks, once the virus remnants and over-reactive immune response of Long Covid are cleared out of your system, do a final cleanup and detox (with EDTA), along with a deeper reconditioning of the body and brain (via more exercise), and rebuilding the body’s core energy reserves (using higher doses of Ginseng and Ashwagandha, along with Maitake, Shiitake and Reishi mushrooms).
