| 1 | "A lot of the items in the protocol are things I've tried in the past, but didn't get anywhere. Why is this different?" | This protocol is a synergistic approach, where each supplement works with specific intent, often bypassing identified challenges using other forms / routes of the same supplement and structured in a particular order to address the disease model targets. The protocol is more than just a collection of individual components. A number of included supplements are not directly aimed at treating the disease model but serve a palliative purpose. They are there to ensure the smoothest, fastest, and least unpleasant journey through the recovery process. A significant barrier to successful treatment is the occurrence of paradoxical negative symptoms. These symptoms can leave people confused about whether their actions are helping or harming their condition. Sometimes, the symptoms are so severe that they become nearly impossible to endure through willpower alone. This confusion can trap people in a cycle of trying to identify what is helping or hurting, focusing on peripheral issues that should be set aside while continuing forward. It's been described as chasing a ghost without a map to navigate. Similarly, getting caught up in "[x] is my root cause" thinking can be counterproductive. While one single event may have initially nudged someone into this persistent disease model, understanding how we arrived here is very helpful for addressing specific influences, but less relevant than knowing the additional steps required to move forward and recover. The protocol quantifies and addresses these concerns as a primary focus to enable successful treatment. A number of the issues described in the model create a loop / trap. Targeting multiple issues simultaneously will be required to achieve lasting remission. |
| 2 | "What should I do if I get COVID or some other infection while on the protocol?" | The primary goal is to prevent lactic acid metabolism and backsliding on microbiome remediation. Much of this relates to prolyl hydroxylase activity. Link to Tweet If you're already far enough along Stage 1, or beyond, various parts of the protocol are already targeting this. However, you may find benefit from additional NAC and vitamin C at this time, while making sure your zinc intake is being prioritised. Preventing hypoxia is also important, which often relates to coagulation and fibrin(-amyloid). The additional NAC may be helpful, however you may find 80-100mg of aspirin is also appropriate. Nattokinase can also be helpful for degrading SARS-CoV-2 spike protein, which is a known influence for causing micro-clots and fibrin-amyloid protein aggregates. |
| 3 | "Is it healthy to be taking so many supplements? It's a crazy amount!" | I'd recommend reading "The unmapped chemical complexity of our diet" [Nature] [Full text] - this paper is an excellent reminder that there are over 26000 different chemicals / compounds in our normal food items. eg. A beetroot has 4157 different chemicals. Highly successful supplements like AG1, which has been studied with positive outcomes in clinical trials, has a mixture of 75 different dietary supplements - https://drinkag1.com/ as do their competitors - https://www.nuzest.com.au/products/good-green-vitality |
