COVID Spike Protein Disease: What It Is and How to Recover
If your health has never been quite the same since 2020, you might want to consider the possibility that spike protein disease is playing a role.
I recently had a wake-up call while reviewing the lab work a client sent me that her functional medical doctor ordered. (This story and the screenshots are shared with permission).
I am very familiar with the terms “Long COVID” and “spike protein disease,” but it was one of many topics that I decided to leave to other competent writers on Substack.
But I’ve changed my mind. Your regularly scheduled content is taking a backburner this week because of how important this topic is.
While browsing my client’s labwork, I noticed were a number of problematic markers. First, her C-reactive protein (CRP) is 7.3. I like to see 0.5 or lower, and anything much above that is a red flag to me. Her number is 14 times the ideal.
Next, her rheumatoid factor is high indicating autoantibodies for possible rheumatoid arthritis or Lupus. Finally, her Epstein Barr viral load is also quite high.
So I’m scrolling through, making notes of everything that’s off, and then I get to this:
The abbreviation above refers to a semi-quantitative antibody test measuring total antibodies (both IgG and IgM) against the spike protein. In other words, it’s a blood test that measures the body for antibodies made against the COVID spike protein. (Note: this test has absolutely no relationship to the rapid PCR tests that some now consider wildly inaccurate).
Although the test is not measuring the amount of spike protein in the blood, it is an indication of how irritated the body is by the spike protein, and that there is likely a high amount circulating.
You’ll notice above that the reference range is 0.8 and below. This person has 2,000 times the normal level of antibodies. Here are some other pertinent details:
She has not had a recent infection or exposure that she knows of.
She is not vaccinated.
Her husband was vaccinated and received one booster.
Now, to play the devil’s advocate for a second, (because he sure needs one about now, the public defender won’t cut it), it is technically possible that my client came into contact with the Epstein-Barr virus recently, and that is the source of her sky-high inflammation. Simultaneously, it is theoretically possible, although unlikely, that she recently developed an asymptomatic case of COVID, and that is the source of her sky-high COVID antibodies.
However, as Dr. Pierre Kory is fond of saying, an accumulation of anecdotes is data.
Dr. Kory, along with Dr. Scott Marsland, have revamped their entire medical practice to specialize in COVID, long COVID, and vaccine injuries, which they lump together under the title “spike protein disease.”
They did this because the example case I just mentioned has become increasingly common. Spike protein disease is something they now regularly encounter.
In other words, they are constantly seeing what I just described: the spike protein hanging around in the body for unknown periods of time triggering autoimmune reactions such as rheumatoid arthritis, and causing viral infections for surface, such as Epstein Barr Virus. These problems are no longer rare—they’re becoming a national epidemic. He explains more in this post "Long Vax" Finally Enters The Lexicon.
My experience this week made me wonder how many of my readers are experiencing some symptoms from the circulating spike protein that their body can’t clear, even among the unvaccinated.
It’s one thing to read about it on Dr. Kory’s substack. It’s another thing to see it in real life.
The Clot Thickens
Then, right after that appointment, I had another pertinent thing happen.
A client contacted me for weight loss but as always, I had her fill out my comprehensive health background form. (Again, this story is shared with permission).
As I often say, the body is an ecosystem and not a machine so I can’t address weight loss without getting a total picture of the person’s health, sleep, exercise, stress levels, and so much more.
So, through the course of our conversation, this patient told me that she has a life-threatening deep vein thrombosis (DVT) which is a dangerous blood clot in her leg, and two pulmonary embolisms (blood clots in her lungs). She had one initial COVID vaccine plus three boosters.
Now, to play devil’s advocate yet again, people did get DVT’s and pulmonary embolisms before 2019. But to quote Dr. Kory once again, the plural of anecdote is data. This is a phenomenon that doctors are reporting is rising dramatically. I’m simply stumbling over just one more case.
My reason for bringing this to your attention is simply to state that all the things I’ve been reading about online are getting personal. It’s different when there’s a human you have personal contact with going through the theoretical things.
One of the more puzzling parts of the story I just related is that I asked the weight loss client if any of the specialists or doctors she’s been seeing for her clots have mentioned the possible relationship between her clots and the COVID mRNA gene therapy. No, they hadn’t.
But this question is more to the point: had they warned her from getting further boosters because of the risk of blood clotting? Nope.
Lest you think that the connection between the COVID mRNA vaccines and increased risk of blood clots is a conspiracy theory, the data is right there for all to read on PubMed:
The background paragraph of the study warrants a full quote:
Since publishing successful clinical trial results of mRNA coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccines in December 2020, multiple reports have arisen about cardiovascular complications following the mRNA vaccination. This study provides an in-depth account of various cardiovascular adverse events reported after the mRNA vaccines' first or second dose including pericarditis/myopericarditis, myocarditis, hypotension, hypertension, arrhythmia, cardiogenic shock, stroke, myocardial infarction/STEMI, intracranial hemorrhage, thrombosis (deep vein thrombosis, cerebral venous thrombosis, arterial or venous thrombotic events, portal vein thrombosis, coronary thrombosis, microvascular small bowel thrombosis), and pulmonary embolism.
(Side note: physicians with their boots on the ground would argue that the incident rate reported in the above study is off by a factor of about 100-fold, but I’ll refer you to Pierre Kory’s Medical Musings for further study on this topic since he’s much more qualified than I am to report on the frequency.)
Here’s another study:
Thrombosis Development After mRNA COVID-19 Vaccine Administration: A Case Series
We hope that after reviewing this article, physicians will be more aware of thrombosis-related developments following mRNA vaccine administration for COVID-19.
My question is this: why was someone with a life-threatening complication not warned that further boosters could be dangerous at least to her unique life-threatening situation?
To play the devil's advocate yet again, let’s assume that all the medical professionals who treated her believe that the mRNA shots were safe, effective, a lifesaver, a game changer, and the best thing since sliced bread and roller blades (feels head for horns protruding).
Even then, wouldn’t medical ethics still require that the patient with a DVT be warned of the risk of a further booster? Let’s even assume her current potentially-deadly clots have absolutely nothing to do with the four shots (something that’s unprovable in this case one way or another even though she’s never had them before in her life). Her physicians still aren’t going to tell her about the well-documented risk so the patient can make an informed decision on the life-threatening risk of another booster?
So I have to be the one to tell her…sitting over here with a degree in English and an online certification in ketogenic therapies? I’m the one to tell her basic, standard medical procedure which is to warn patients of the known, documented risks pertinent to their unique situation? I’m the only one who reads PubMed to see if a medical experiment that was pushed through at warp speed might not be the best option for a patient with potentially deadly blood clots?
What if she hadn’t called me? How many people aren’t being warned? (Phew, is it getting hot in here or is it just me?)
A Midwestern Doctor (AMD), writer of The Forgotten Side of Medicine, a leading medical Substack, wondered why she was seeing an unprecedented increase in blood clotting disorders in her practice. Then she found this study:
I’ll let her summarize the study for us (see this post for her full analysis):
In the study, a blood clotting simulation outside the body was created. Normal blood, blood from COVID-19 patients on the first day of symptoms before any treatment, and normal blood exposed to a low concentration of COVID-19 spike proteins were then exposed to a key clotting factor, thrombin. When those clots were observed the study found:
•Normal blood behaved as expected.
•Normal blood with dilute spike protein formed a denser fibrin clot.
•Small amounts of amyloid (abnormal protein aggregations) were present in the fibrin clots formed.
•Much more (a statistically significant increase) in amyloid was present in the fibrin clots formed by normal blood mixed with dilute spike protein.
To illustrate the differences (the green signal corresponds to amyloid detection):
Mass spectrometry showed that when spike protein is added to healthy PPP [platelet-poor plasma], it results in structural changes to β and γ fibrin(ogen), complement 3, and prothrombin. These proteins were substantially resistant to trypsinization [breakdown by the enzyme trypsin], in the presence of spike protein.
AMD summarizes:
In short, the authors found that when spike protein was added to blood samples, it caused irregular (misfolded) fibrous clots to form that were resistant to the enzymes researchers and the body (e.g. the digestive system) uses to break down protein structures. This most likely means the enzyme the body typically uses to break down fibrin clots cannot do so for these misfolded fibrous clots.
This blood clotting science is all very technical but the links above provide ample info for those who want to study the science more in depth.
For now, I want to turn the conversation to a solution. Because, the reality is that there appears to be a toxic spike protein that the body often can’t break down, causing health issues.
Many doctors, even mainstream ones, not just functional medicine doctors, are seeing the need to treat spike protein disease in both the vaccinated and the unvaccinated.
So first, I’ll break down the different constellations of symptoms one could experience with spike protein disease, and second, I’ll point you to what I consider the best-researched protocol for healing.
Symptoms of Spike Protein Disease
You can get spike protein disease from being vaccinated, having a COVID infection, or from being around people who were vaccinated. The third scenario is called “shedding.” For evidence of its validity, see this post: What We've Learned from a Year of Vaccine Shedding Data.
If your symptoms are severe, please consider becoming a patient of Dr. Kory’s remote-care Leading Edge Clinic.
The following information I obtained from the Independent Medical Alliance, formerly called the FLCCC, which stands for Front Line COVID Critical Care Alliance.
The FLCCC was born when a number of mainstream, top-of-the-line, highly published physicians were red-pilled during the COVID circus after refusing to comply with non-sensical treatment requirements.
For example, Dr. Paul Marik, whom I wrote about in this post, was dismissed from his hospital after developing an ICU protocol that reduced his hospital’s ICU COVID death rate by more than half. He broke into tears in a senate hearing [3:13] when he testified to how he had to watch patients die, including a 31-year-old woman, because the hospital refused to let him use the protocol he developed.
Anyhow, these physicians banded together and formed an alliance called the FLCCC to share treatment plans with other physicians who were interested in saving lives.
However, the organization has broadened its perspective beyond COVID concerns and wants to reform medicine more broadly. How exciting is that? So that’s why they recently changed their name to the Independent Medical Alliance of IMA.
That background is just to let you know that their protocols are very well-researched, have been tested in their clinics, and found to be effective.
Symptoms of Spike Protein Disease:
From the IMA’s I-Recover Guide:
Respiratory: shortness of breath, congestion, persistent cough, etc.
Neurological/psychiatric: brain fog, malaise, tiredness, headaches, migraines, depression, inability to focus or concentrate, altered cognition, insomnia, vertigo, panic attacks, tinnitus, anosmia (loss of smell total or partial), phantom smells, etc.
Musculoskeletal: myalgias (pain in a group of muscles), fatigue, weakness, joint pains, inability to exercise, post-exertional malaise, inability to perform normal activities of daily life
Cardiovascular: Palpitations, arrhythmias, Raynaud-like syndrome, hypotension, and tachycardia on exertion
Autonomic: Postural tachycardia syndrome (POTs), abnormal sweating
Gastrointestinal disturbance: anorexia, diarrhea, bloating, vomiting, nausea, etc.
Dermatologic: itching, rashes, dermatographia
Mucus membranes: running nose, sneezing, burning and itchy eyes
Here are some things I would add from talking to clients and reading accounts on various stacks and X:
Autoimmune issues, new or old issues flaring up such as chronic Lyme, Epstein Barr, Fibromyalgia
Increased susceptibility to the sickness-du-jour: more strep, influenza A, RSV, Norovirus, sinus infections, seasonal flu, etc. In addition to getting these things more frequently, the sicknesses are more severe and prolonged. For example, someone close to me had a fever of 107 after testing positive for RSV. These immune disturbances are likely caused at least in part from the spike protein decreasing a key bacteria called bifido. (I cover this concept in full in this post.)
IMA recommendations for Recovering from Spike Protein Disease
If the list below looks overwhelming, keep in mind that doing four or five of these can have a profound impact. If I were only to do five I would pick fasting, ivermectin, nattokinase, sunlight, and probiotic gut healing as covered in the post just linked above.
All the quotes below are from the IMA’s guide: I-RECOVER
1. Intermittent daily fasting or periodic daily fasts
Fasting stimulates the clearing of damaged mitochondria (mitophagy), misfolded and foreign proteins, and damaged cells (autophagy). Autophagy likely removes spike protein and misfolded proteins induced by the spike protein. Autophagy may therefore play a critical role in reversing the “spikopathy” induced by COVID infection. Indeed, activation of autophagy may be the only mechanism to remove intracellular spike protein.
To get started fasting, check out the following posts:
The more severe the symptoms, the more you will benefit from occasional longer fasts, such as 36-hour fasts. But you will need to work up to fasting that long.
2. Ivermectin
It is likely that ivermectin and intermittent fasting act synergistically to rid the body of the spike protein. Ivermectin binds to the spike protein, aiding in the elimination by the host. Ivermectin also has potent anti-inflammatory properties.
For a full discussion of ivermectin and its uses relating to COVID, see the IMA’s post here.
Dosage: start with 0.3mg/kg of body weight. If you weigh about 150 lbs or 69 kg, you’d take about 23 mg. But you should round the dosage up since it’s cheaper to buy it in 12 mg tablets.
If you don’t see any improvement in 2-3 weeks, double your dosage. Continue on this double dose at least two full months. Try to take it consistently without missing days. For maximum absorption, crust the pill and mix with 1 Tablespoon olive oil. This can increase absorption by up to four times.
Here is a source to buy ivermectin without a prescription. Just make to self-identify as the family pet while using it. 😉 (Note: I changed where the link takes you. When this post first went out, it linked to a place called Tmeds.org but I hadn’t personally used it. So I changed the link to direct you to a website called Vivex. I have bought from Vivex several times and used their product.)
(Side note: if you are taking quercetin, make sure you take it away from ivermectin since the mechanisms cancel each other out, so IVM in the morning and quercetin at night. Check the ingredients in immune combo supplements as they often contain quercetin.)
3. Moderating physical activity
Patients with long COVID frequently suffer from severe post-exertional fatigue and/or worsening of symptoms with exercise. We recommend moderating activity to tolerable levels that do not worsen symptoms, keeping the patient’s heart rate under 110 BPM. Furthermore, patients need to identify the activity level beyond which their symptoms worsen, and then aim to stay below that level of activity. Stretching and low-level resistance exercises are preferred over aerobic exercises.
4. Low-dose naltrexone (LDN)
This medication has been demonstrated to have anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and neuromodulating properties.
1-4.5 mg daily. Begin with 1 mg/day and increase to 4.5 mg/day, as required. May take 2 to 3 months to see the full effect.
Cautions and contraindications: Clinicians should exercise caution when using LDN in patients who are also taking opioids for chronic pain, as they may exhibit withdrawal symptoms if these medications are taken simultaneously.LDN must be prescribed by a doctor.
If you have a hard time finding a doctor who will prescribe it, you can likely get good results without this one. LDN causes sleep disturbances in some.
5. Nattokinase
This highly effective fibrinolytic and antiplatelet agent targets the abnormal clotting that can occur from spike protein-related disease.
I found a bulk source of nattokinase here that will save you a lot of money in the long run.
Dosage: 100-200 mg (2000-4000 FU) twice daily. You will have to buy a 1/16 teaspoon if you order the bulk link above.
6. Melatonin
A powerful regulator of mitochondrial function, melatonin has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Should be taken prior to bedtime.
A 5-10 mg dose is a good place to start. Here’s the one I have, although I wouldn’t worry too much about the brand.
7. Magnesium
Dosage: A starting dose of 100 to 200 mg daily is suggested, increasing the dose as tolerated up to 300 mg (females) to 400 mg daily. Endpoints of treatment include an RBC-Mag [red blood cell magnesium level] at the higher end of the normal range (between 4.2 and 6.8 mg/dL to be about 6.0 ng/dL).
(If your doctor won’t order you an RBC-mag, or you’re like me and you like to order all your own bloodwork without going to a doctor, order it through Marek Health for $25, go to check out, print out the requisition form, and walk into any Lab Corp with the paper. Lab Corp can not tell from the form that you ordered it yourself.)
I prefer magnesium glycinate.
8. Low-dose Methylene Blue
Low Dose Methylene Blue (LDMB) is a therapeutic option in patients with brain fog and other neurological symptoms; this can be combined with transcranial photobiomodulation.
Dosing and administration:
10-30 mg daily max. The optimal dose is highly individualized and each patient needs to find the right dose for them.
It is important that patients and/or their healthcare providers purchase high-quality, impurity-free, pharmaceutical-grade methylene blue.
• Start with 5 mg (.5 ml) twice daily for the first week.
[My note: This supplement has 7 mg plus several other helpful components and won’t stain your teeth blue.]
• Gradually increase the dosage every 2-3 days (guided by symptoms - i.e., improvement in fatigue and/or cognitive improvement) until you reach a maximum of 30 mg (3 ml) per day.
• Take the 7th day off every week to allow the body to “reset”.
Cautions and contraindications: LDMB will cause your urine to be blue or blue-green. Some patients may experience a Herx reaction. A Herx reaction may cause fatigue, nausea, headache, or muscle pain. If you experience a Herx reaction, stop the treatment for 48 hours and then resume again slowly. DO NOT take MB if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. MB is a potent monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI) that, in conjunction with an SSRI, can potentiate serotonin syndrome, a life-threatening medical emergency. This combination of medications is to be strongly avoided. Do not take FLUVOXAMINE, FLUOEXETINE or BUPROPION or any other SSRI -NDRI (norepinepine-Dopamine Reutake Inhibitor) with MB. MB increases toxicity of hydrocodone bitartrate by increasing serotonin levels in the blood. This combination should be avoided. Individuals with glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogense deficiency (G6PD) should not be treated with MB as it can cause hemolytic anemia.
9. Sunlight and Photobiomodulation (PBM)
Sunlight has great therapeutic powers. We suggest patients expose themselves to about 30 minutes of midday sunshine whenever possible (at least 3 times a week). A brisk midday walk is a viable alternative, as is red and NIR radiation emitted from LED panels.
In addition to a midday walk, it’s really helpful to get at least 5 minutes of early morning sunlight in your eyes to set your circadian rhythm (no glasses or contacts and not through a window or windshield. Look in the direction of the sun but not directly at the sun of course).
Every cell in your body has a clock, and when these clocks get dysregulated, they can cause a host of disturbances. It sounds too easy to be true, but early morning sunlight can have a profound impact on your health. When your brain sees that light frequencies, it triggers hundreds of genes associated with wakefulness, alertness, and well-being. It also signals sleepiness 12-15 hours later if not over-ridden by evening blue light from screens. Read my post on the sun for more info.
Red light therapy, aka Photobiomodulation can be extremely helpful too. For those who like nerdy science, here you go:
The most well-studied mechanism of action of PBM centers around enhancing the activity of cytochrome c oxidase, which is unit four of the mitochondrial respiratory chain, responsible for the final reduction of oxygen to water. In addition, one of the most reproducible effects of PBM is an overall reduction in inflammation. PBM has been shown to reduce markers of M1 phenotype in activated macrophages. (65) Many reports have shown reductions in reactive nitrogen species and prostaglandins in various animal models. In addition, PBM activates a wide range of transcription factors leading to improved cell survival. It has also been suggested that NIR light increases the production of melatonin in mitochondria. (66)
I have this red light.
10. Vitamin D and K2
These compounds are general immune system boosters. However, as I’ve written in Why You Should Not Supplement Vitamins D and K2 without Also Getting Adequate A, you get a much better effect if you take A, D, and K together as a team instead of just D and K2. A food source such as cod liver oil with butter oil is best. I brought my vitamin D from 24.4 to 69.2 using cod liver oil with butter oil alone and no lab-made vitamin D.
11. Probiotics/prebiotics
Patients with long COVID classically have a severe dysbiosis with loss of Bifidobacterium. (87-89)
In case you missed it, my Substack Live this past Friday, I spent about an hour talking about some research that one of the leading gut experts in the world did showing that the COVID spike protein completely disables one of our most foundational gut bacteria for immunity: bifidobacteria. I highly recommend you go and listen to this video: Substack Live: gut bacteria, COVID spike protein, probiotics, iodine, women's hormones
Researcher Dr. Hazan tested 23 products that all claimed that they contained bifido and only three of them actually did. If you are serious about healing your gut, you need to make your own kefir, which is super duper easy, like 5 minutes a day.
You need to get a live kefir grain (starter) from Facebook marketplace which is the easiest option (they multiply so people are often selling them) or get dehydrated ones online and revive them (a little more tricky). These from Etsy for $13 claim to be live.
Do not use raw milk to make kefir. If all you have is raw milk, heat it and then cool it so that the biome in the raw milk doesn’t compete with the kefir biome. Then YouTube a tutorial just so you know what the consistency the final product should look like.
Here is what the colony called a grain looks like. It is a symbiotic colony of bacteria and yeast, also called a SCOBY, and it is full of bifidobacteria.
Here’s what the IMA has to say:
Dosing and administration:
A no-sugar-added, Greek yogurt with both pre- and probiotics is recommended. Suggested probiotics include Megasporebiotic (Microbiome labs), TrueBifidoPro (US Enzymes), and yourgutplus+. (90) In addition, the use of Glucomannan (from Konjac root) and/or Chia seeds provide soluble and insoluble fiber (prebiotic) required for the normalization of the microbiome. Cautions and contraindications If patients have moderate to severe dysbiosis and/or small bowel bacterial overgrowth (SBIO) then prebiotics may have the unwanted effect of ''feeding the bad bacteria" and contributing to worsening of the dysbiosis. Probiotics alone and/or fermented foods are less likely to harbor and nourish commensal and abnormal gut microbes. Depending on the brand, some pro/prebiotic products can be very high in sugar, which promotes inflammation. Look for brands without added sugar and try to choose products that are also gluten-free, casein-free, and soy-free.
Have you been affected by spike protein disease or has someone you know been affected? If so, please leave a comment below and let me know.
In addition, please share this post far and wide so that more people can be aware of the damage that has been done to us. Apparently, it’s up to you and me to spread the word since sections of the mainstream medical community refuse to acknowledge published data documenting the effects of the spike protein on the human body.
Finally, never forget that fasting is the one thing you can start doing today to fight the spike protein that costs you nothing.
How cool is this: Fauci and his cronies spent hundreds of millions of your tax dollars over decades creating a world-class Franken-spike protein—and yet, one of the most powerful antidotes against it is not a drug that took billions to develop…but plain old intermittent fasting.
Furthermore, the companions that aid IF are the humble by-product made by bacteria found near a golf course in Japan (ivermectin) and not something science in all its hubris developed in a lab, plus an enzyme made from the bacteria that ferment soy (nattokinase), and a fermented drink (kefir). (Although, some might argue that kefir isn’t as humble because it caused a royal marriage scandal in Russia in the nineteenth century. Russian doctors knew about kefir’s health benefits. However, the kefir was a well-kept secret among the Caucasus mountain tribes, and they refused to share any of their kefir grains. So the Russian Physicians’ Society sent a beautiful young Russian woman, Irina Sakharova, to the court of a Caucasian prince, Bek-Mirza Barchorov on a mission to seduce him and acquire the coveted kefir grains. It worked.)
But God chose what is foolish in the world to shame the wise; God chose what is weak in the world to shame the strong; God chose what is low and despised in the world, even things that are not, to bring to nothing things that are, so that no human being might boast in the presence of God. 1 Corinthians 1:27-29

The Day My Mom Almost Died: My mom almost died of COVID
Nice post. You wrote, "If I were only to do five I would pick fasting, ivermectin, nattokinase, sunlight, and probiotic gut healing as covered in the post just linked above." You missed the most important two, chlorine dioxide and DMSO, which may be a complete treatment for spike illnesses alone. Here is my interview with Kory's partner, Scott Marsland: https://robertyoho.substack.com/p/335-scott-marsland-tells-us-the-health?utm_source=publication-search
I’m unvaccinated and have had Covid twice. January 2020 and January 2022. I work in a hospital setting and am around vaccinated people and sick people all day. I’ve experienced all the symptoms listed in this article and have been researching and using supplements for the last 4 years to be able to function in life. I was hoping I would eventually go back to feeling myself again however although I’ve improved I’m still not completely better. I have ups and downs and still need to pay close attention to my health on a daily basis. The only thing I haven’t tried yet is Ivermectin. I have honestly done every other supplement as well as IV Ozone treatments and bought a NIR sauna and when my lungs were giving me issue I did nebulized hydrogen peroxide. I know I’m a lot better but I feel like at any moment I could have a flare up. I’m so tired of this. I never got the jab thankfully. I’m sure things could have been terribly worse.
