Introduction Lithium is a nutritional supplement with antiviral properties. It can also prevent a cytokine storm, making it useful for COVID-19. The good thing about lithium is that it has yet to be well known and thus not vilified like ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine. Being over the counter makes it easily accessible. This video will serve…

SARS-CoV-2 RNA Lasts More Than Two Years In the Body
Update: I have updated this article on Feb 24, 2024. I included evidence of increased inflammation and connected the findings with the excess deaths and the rise in IgG4 antibodies. This article features a study showing that the genes of the SARS-CoV-2 virus that causes COVID-19 can last up to 676 days (22 months and…
Boosting Interferon and COVID-19 Immunity with Ketogenesis
This article is about the effects of ketogenesis on COVID-19 and in Preventing Long Haul COVID symptoms and adds more to what we know about the benefits of fasting for COVID-19. I have written several articles about the benefits of intermittent fasting for COVID-19 that you can find at the bottom. The study Impaired ketogenesis…
Long COVID Brain Fog and Muscle Pain result from SARS-CoV-2 Persistence in the Nose and Saliva
This article shows why early treatment of COVID-19 is essential to prevent Long COVID symptoms. A new study showed that if the SARS-CoV-2 is allowed to persist inside the nose for a month, it is more likely that the Long COVID symptoms will happen. Long COVID occurs when the symptoms last for more than three…
Similarities in the brain of SARS-CoV-2 and Alzheimer’s disease individuals
A study from the Icahn School of Medicine in New York showed that brain changes after a COVID-19 infection are similar to those observed in people with Alzheimer’s dementia. Furthermore, in people with Alzheimer’s, the SARS-CoV-2 virus disrupts the blood-brain barrier integrity and causes neuroinflammation that can make dementia worse. The study involved post-mortem examination…
The I-RECOVER Management Protocol for Long Haul COVID-19 Syndrome
This page was updated on December 2, 2022, with new information. The Front Line COVID-19 Critical Care Alliance has a protocol for treating Long Haul COVID-19 Syndrome (LHCS) or Post Acute Sequelae of COVID-19 (PASC) What is Long Haul COVID-19 Syndrome? LHCS can happen after an acute COVID-19 or COVID-19 vaccination. The symptoms are generalized…
Inflammatory molecules found in Long COVID patients
A new study showed several inflammatory markers in the blood of patients with Long COVID. The inflammation leads to micro clots that are difficult to dissolve naturally. This leads to the extensive formation of clots. I think this will be the exact mechanism in people who develop blood clots after mRNA COVID vaccination since the…
SARS-CoV-2 variants and Long COVID syndrome
This article shows that Long COVID symptoms resulting from different variants can vary. And that some variants tend to cause more Long COVID syndromes. According to the World Health Organization, Long COVID syndrome occurs in individuals with probable or confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection history. It usually starts three months from the onset of COVID-19, and the symptoms…
The I-RECOVER Post-Vaccine Treatment Protocol
This article aims to introduce the I-RECOVER management for Post COVID-19 Vaccine Syndrome. The FLCCC defines Post COVID vaccine syndrome as “a temporal correlation between a patient receiving a COVID-19 vaccine and the beginning or worsening of clinical manifestations is sufficient to diagnose a COVID-19 vaccine-induced injury when the symptoms are unexplained by other concurrent…
The SARS-CoV-2 Spike proteins can cross the blood-brain barrier and cause brain inflammation
The blood-brain barrier (BBB) protects the brain from harmful molecules and infections. COVID-19 and the Long COVID syndrome have neurologic and psychiatric effects. This article presents three studies that show evidence that the spike protein of SARS-CoV-2 can cross the BBB and wreak havoc by itself. Endothelial cells line the inside of the BBB, and…
Persistent inflammation explains Long COVID syndrome
Why do some people have persistent symptoms after COVID-19? Did something change in the infected person’s body? This is the question answered by a study made with the collaboration of several medical schools in New York. They used golden hamsters that were inoculated with the SARS-CoV-2 virus. The best animal model that mimics the human…
Here is why obesity leads to worse COVID-19
Obesity leads to worse COVID-19. A study showed that obesity (BMI > 30 kg/m2) was associated with a significantly increased risk of critical COVID-19 and mortality. There is excess fatty or adipose tissue deposits in obesity. New research from Stanford University, SARS-CoV-2 infects human adipose tissue and elicits an inflammatory response consistent with severe COVID-19, showed that SARS-CoV-2,…
