Dr. Peter McCullough is a cardiologist who became well known during COVID for his ongoing skepticism of the vaccine, and also for advancing COVID treatments.  He is a hero to many and a villain to many others. He and colleagues Dr. Brian Procter and Cade Wynn have just published a paper on the detoxification of COVID Spike protein from the body (Journal of American Physicians and Surgeons).

I have a PhD in molecular biology, specializing in infectious disease testing.  I am not a physician!  I have a very informed but not expert opinion on medical matters.  Consider discussing with your doctor before following any medical advice.

As we’ve discussed before, the Spike protein of SARS-2 is the component of the virus that leads to the most damaging impacts of infection.  It causes inflammation across the body in many different tissue types and also contributes to rampant blood clotting.  Unfortunately, because the vaccines also cause your body to produce Spike protein in order to cause your immune system to make antibodies, the vaccines also cause some of the most pathogenic effects of the virus.  Because it gets packaged by various body mechanisms, Spike protein can persist for months or years after infection or vaccination.  Boosters also increase the amount of Spike in your body.

I know many people now who suffer a wide variety of effects likely from a vaccination or a booster, ranging from persistent tinnitus (ear ringing), to a very healthy friend who had a heart attack a month after getting a booster, with no history of cardiac issues.  As for myself, I have an autoimmune disease, celiac disease, that also comes with generalized inflammation.  I have plantar fasciitis, trigger finger, chronic tailbone pain, and bursitis in my knee.  All these things have gone from very mild to moderate in the years since I had COVID.  To be clear, I have never been vaccinated against COVID, so my symptoms are from SARS-2 infection.

Dr. McCullough’s paper recommends a combination of three over the counter supplements that he claims can help clear your body of accumulated Spike protein from either infection or vaccine.  If you already have immunity, the Spike protein in your body is no longer of any use to you.  You don’t need it anymore, and you should probably get rid of it!

Nattokinase: This enzyme comes from soy beans and is a digestive enzyme which can help digest Spike protein.  It should be taken at a dose of 2000 units twice a day.  

Because Nattokinase is an enzyme, it should be taken between meals. Otherwise, instead of finding and chewing up Spike protein, it will just help you digest your lunch. Take Nattokinase at least an hour after a meal, or at least a half hour before one. You should not take Nattokinase if you have an allergy to soy.

Bromelain: This is a protein digesting enzymes purified from pineapple stems.  Like Nattokinase, it can digest Spike protein, but it can also inhibit the interaction of Spike and the receptors that it uses to interact with human cells, helping to reduce inflammation.  Recommended dosage is 500 milligrams once per day. Bromelain is also an enzyme. So like Nattokinase, it should be taken between meals.

Curcumin: This compound comes from the ginger plant and is similar to turmeric.  Like bromelain, it also has the effect of inhibiting the interactions of Spike with our cells, and also reduced inflammation.  Free curcumin isn’t absorbed by the body well, so it is recommended to take it in a form that is, “Nano” or “liposomal” curcumin.  Instead, you can also take it with piperine (black pepper extract) which improves absorption. Recommended dose is 500 milligrams twice a day, in the Nano form.

Dr. McCullough suggests that this combination of supplements should be taken for at least 3 months. 

An important word of caution!  All three of these compounds have an anti-coagulant effect.  So if you have trouble with a lack of blood clotting, you don’t stop bleeding after an injury, or are on any anti-coagulation medications, talk to your doctor first before taking any of these supplements.  Also, you should not take Nattokinase if you have an allergy to soy.

This is a new protocol, and has not yet been formally tested!  It has also not been used by large numbers of people.  So if you’re cautious, you may want to wait and see how others do on this protocol before trying it yourself.

I can no longer recommend a booster for anyone, even if you have risk factors.  But if you want to get a booster, don’t take these supplements for at least a month after your booster, or you will reduce your body’s ability to make antibodies.

Don’t fear, but be smart!
