Next article may take a little longer to publish, I will try find a way to leave a simplified summary there, it won't be super complex, but the one after that may induce a headache on some of you.

Unrelated to anything I ever wrote about. Just out of pure curiosity, does any of my readers play Magic The Gathering ?

I wish everyone a great rest of the week ahead.

I never really picked it up as a serious hobby, but I played MTG fairly regularly through young adulthood. When I was younger I'd love just sitting down with a deck, looking at the pictures, and reading the flavor text card-by-card.

That was what initiated my academic path in life. Reading the flavor text. You are a man of culture (or a woman of culture lol)

Bravo!! "My goal here is not to feed the doom and gloom hamster wheel of attention that moves society now but to bring awareness."

Here we are. We need to understand, as much as possible, what is happening and how to prepare for sad and difficult times. Find your people who are centered and balanced, avoid the emotion. It's draining.

For what it is worth, and I have no proof. I started using Nicotine patches as per Brian Ardis's recommendations. I was hoping they would get rid of my aches, pains, stiffness and muscle weakness. They did not, but they brought my brain back on-line. I experimented with stopping and starting for a few rounds, and my brain got better each time on the patches, then deteriorated once off them again. But this time the improvement has been sustained for a few weeks without them. I am currently taking the anti-parasitics ivermectin and fenbendazole along with a high dose of vitamin c and my brain is better than it has been since covid hit and probably before.

I have recommended nicotine patches for cognitive recovery, Long Covid and some other uses. Often comes from chronic usage, although some people experience improvement with short-term usage, it basically gives the necessary reprive so the bodies of many can start recovering.

Why both iver and fenben? I thought they were both dewormers? What cognitive issues did you have that triggered you to use nicotine patches?

Christine's avatar

Different anti-parasitics deal with different parasites and at different stages in their lifecycle.

I am a writer and I was finding it hard to concentrate well enough to write anything.

Nicotine helped with concentration and clear headedness, but I am taking the ivermectin/fenbendazole protocol now and I think it is doing even better.

What’s your opinion on using ivermectin + fenbendazole as a “treatment” for covid vaccination? Ive seen some like 2SG advocate it but there’s a lot of fear mongering and a sales pitch there aswell. I had heart abnormalities post Moderna (no ECG or data to support other than how I felt but i felt like I might have a heart attack) since then I just feel tired, large loss of motivation and sometimes brain fog/memory issues. But I have had brain fog pre pandemic. Getting evaluated for TRT but unsure how I feel about starting a injectable from Pharma.

I just take glycine and NaC currently need to get my vitamin game back on aswell. Trying to get my health back in order this year.

Also would appreciate your opinion on this BPC-157

Formulation

GEPPPGKPADDAGLV x 2 x -L-Arg

Claims of being significantly more stable via oral ingestion over “standard” but I can’t find a study to support the claim/graph

Going to tell you the truth. If I had the money I would take TRT RIGHT NOW. Besides peptides it is legit one of the best things a man can do, especially after 40. If you have access, just do it. It will improve your life, sometimes substantially.

My opinion on Ivm+Fenben is try it, it helped some people who sent me emails with their disease (cancer), doesn't hurt to try but since you brought up sales pitch I will spill the beans. Many alt COVID doctors own the production pipeline of both drugs and are making a killing on it. If you want try it.

A bunch of supplements can help heal the heart but BPC is one I often suggest if people can afford. About the "more stable" sales pitch, normal BPC is already stable, it is literally called "Stable gastric peptide bla bla bla". It is produced by your gut (present in your gastric acid) daily, just super small quantities.

I used many forms they all work somewhat the same.

Beat of luck and hope you achieve your health goal this year.

Moriarty's avatar

Well, I choose to hate because there is a monumental difference between selling natural supplements, amino acids, vitamins for willing buyers

vs

Controlling the supply while creating the demand. I wouldn't care if the markup wasn't INSANE, I have seen dozens of people paying hundreds of dollars for IVM. I pay 20 CENTS for each pill here.

Stick to stick, commit and you will get better fren =D.

I know I’ve been looking at Virex touted but 2SG they sell ivermectin Fenben and doxy all like 60-80 dollars for 50 pills. Which is ridiculous. I’m tempted to just make a big purchase on India mart and hope for the best lol

I bought from Virex/2SG knowing it was a big markup, but it allowed me to have it *now*. Gives me time to obtain from India mart or other alternate which is much slower and more complicated payment issues. fwiw, my experience. Good luck!

How would you suggest taking bromhexine?

Expand full comment
Moriarty's avatar

First sign of sniffles. It is a good decongestionant, so if people have persistent cough, similar symptoms also helpful.

Also if someone is taking any antibiotics, it will enhance the effects (it makes the antibiotc penetrate deeper into bacterial biofilms).

Syho's avatar

Thanks for the update, Moriarty!

So Bromhexine is something we should consider for acute infection, right ? In your article you also mentioned the importance of antioxidants to reduce long term consequences. What are your top 5 antioxidants somebody should look at ?

Expand full comment
Moriarty's avatar

Pre-exposure but to me this is too hard to time, so my suggestion has been, for the longest time "At the first sign of sniffles". If you are exposed to someone with respiratory symptoms, usually I would suggest taking it.

Secondary, it is also the best companion to antibiotics treatments, so bear that in mind, especially in these days where antibiotics are not working "as intended".

Each person/researcher/doctor has its preferred antioxidants, many love and swear by Quercetin, others use Vitamin E (at high dosages it acts as one), others occasional usage of Fisetin.

Given everything I know (and in no moment I claim I know everything about this virus to be clear) my preferred combination is N-Acetyl-Cysteine + Glycine, and Vitamin C. The virus "steals" and "drains" cysteine and antioxidants (Glutathione) at every step of the way. The infection drains by oxidation, the mere replication steals cysteine because the virus is made of a lot of cysteine, the list goes on.

You can substitute NAC with Liposomal Glutathione, which is more expensive, but also acts faster, it still pairs well with Glycine too.

Preventive measure against infection, helps when infected but it ain't saving lives on its own.

It's an interesting speculation but have you seen any data to support it all other than the early studies of it as a therapeutic

Expand full comment
Moriarty's avatar

I have used a few hundred times on different people. You won't find data because most studies are poorly designed and once again, it ain't saving lives on its own.

It also enhances the effectiveness of most antibiotics, which a few hundred million people will need in the next few years.

This happens to me. A lot. Forgetting what I'm saying and forgetting simple words. Back in the early 90s, it was attributed to dietary drinks containing aspartame. I'm a health coach, so I don't ingest sugar substitutes or processed food, anymore. I've been forgetting a lot, lately, and while hypoglycemia can contribute to brain dysfunction and a more temporary loss of brain power, this last time I caught mystery illness made it incredibly difficult to recover from whatever that virus was. I'm most definitely not functioning as well as I typically do. No, I was not vaccinated, but so much of these last few articles are speaking to me. I am a type one diabetic and oftentimes use microdosing to create new neuropathways in the brain so I can get my brain power back. I'm about to do a parasite cleanse, as well. I had a breast tumor but it seems to be associated to a root canal. Regarding having had showvid, or whatever the hell it was, I have more episodes with forgetting what I'm talking about or forgetting simple words more often than ever. I find it very concerning there's a deer on the cover of that "movie" we don't want to watch and 32 states in the US that have reported deer with the "zombie deer disease". I think it's a cover for what showvid is actually doing to those who were either jabbed with the spike protein or have had it in their bodies due to "infection". I'd love to hear a proper protocol using the nattokinase, fucoidan, and/or fisetin supplements in order to mitigate the damage from the spike protein. I have more than enough health issues to deal with already. I'm doing quite well, overall, but the maintenance is surely increasing. I'm happy to barter knowledge :)

For the past 20 years I have drank copious amounts of aspartame, in fact, aspartame is a critical component of my "brain stack", a group of supplements to enhance cognition.

Root canals are often the root (non pun intended) of very long-term damage, if not done properly (guess what ? Most dentists suck at doing it... fantastic). Covid will certainly contribute to episodic memory loss, or long-term memory deficits, but other viral infections will also do, this one is just best at it.

The Waste disease, which is a contagious protein misfolding one, has been going on for a while now, and I can't seen to find real answers though, but I am not worried.

The protocols I suggest people are often based on age, health conditions (sick, not sick, healthy, not healthy, chronic conditions).

Fucoidan, Nattokinase and Fisetin are among my suggestions, in the more radical (ergo, expensive) category, but I much prefer Serrapeptase over Natto, because Serra is systemic, you can easily pair the two.

There are many supplements and vitamins you can use to recover cognition, such as Thiamine (Benfothiamine is the best option for anything brain-related), magnesium, believe it or not Vitamin D+K2.

Creatine, which incidentally can help with your Type 1 Diabetes from progressing (I shared a paper on it 2 years ago).

Or my brain stack, which contains aspartame (Coke Zero) but 99.9% of people who tried always come back to say the same "I am surprised this work as well as it does".

I would also suggest looking into anything related to mitochondrial health, such as CoQ10, Niacinamide, incidentally Niacinamide helps with Type 1 diabetes too.

I'm so honored to receive such a thoughtful reply. Thank you so much. Seems most corrective measures cost more than the damaging components. Root canal removal plus ceramic implants are upwards of 28k for two teeth. It's mind boggling, really. Regarding aspartame, it certainly contributed to my cognitive struggles in my early 20s. Once I quit drinking diet soda, my brain recuperated. That was in 1998 (I'm almost 48, now) My endocrinologist was at Mt Sinai in NYC, but was pretty much a "back to basics" Brazilian. He shared a study with me on aspartame and how it was being partially blamed for Gulf War Syndrome. The misdiagnosis of MS and other diseases on soldiers returning from that war. From what I had understood at the time, the temperatures in the desert contributed to the alteration of the aspartame and mutated it into something akin to formaldehyde. I'm not a scientist, just an avid researcher, wellness coach and psychedelic breathwork guide. My mind is as open as can be, so challenging what I know or think I know is always welcomed. I'll search for your paper on creatine. If there's anything I can do for a barter, please let me know. I appreciate karmic exchange. Take good care, sir. Make sure to get good sleep :)

I always reply everyone, sometimes life gets in the way and I may take longer than most other writers to reply (a perfect example being this reply to you). Some take it personally, but I can't help it =(.

I have been told multiple times that dentristy in the US and some other first world countries is absurdly and prohibitively expensive, sometimes I can't believe the cost like right now as you tol me (28k for two teeth is insane to me).

Don't get me wrong, aspartame can contribute to dysbiosis and by direct and indrect effects may affect the cognition in some people, but the way I suggest people to consume (Coke Zero + bunch of supplements), the synergy all the component of the "brain stack" possess all help mitigate most of the potential side-effects, while giving the brain a cognitive edge or simple helping neuroplasticity and recovery of many forms of injury/conditions.

I am 38 with a extensive history of brain injury (TBI, brain clot, CNS autoinflammatory bout that almost killed me), and I can tell you, honestly, my brain is better now than for the most part of the last 6, 7 years. So recovery and even "enhacement" is possible (with or without aspartame/coke zero).

While I have an entire article on creatine, I don't think I focused on Type 1 Diabetes, but here are the primary articles I think deserve your attention, ESPECIALLY the first.

https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10565-021-09644-7 -> Protection of pancreatic β-cell by phosphocreatine through mitochondrial improvement via the regulation of dual AKT/IRS-1/GSK-3β and STAT3/Cyp-D signaling pathways

So effectively your research is showing that everyone who GETs a Covid infection, and are we to assume that all infections are Covid, will suffer cognitive degradation whether vaxxed or not. Mild infections don’t necessarily mean less damage. I’m still convinced that the tests themselves contain prion encouraging elements and have never had one for that reason, but nearly everyone else has and many people have done 4,5,6 tests, like every time they sneeze! I thought the body could dispose of the contaminants in a real infection, whereas the vaxxes were indestructible. You seem to be lumping us altogether these days; I’m finding that confusing.

Not my research, the research of a very good group, withgood statistical analysis and testing design.

I have written, quite extensively on how insanely complex immunological responses are, and how even more complex the brain is, you can't extrapolate this towards the whole population, something the authors themselves wrote too.

I also have wrote about how complex misfolded proteins are and how the body deals with it, so there is that.

I am presenting the evidence, I have a Index post with a few hundred articles, you are welcome to check if I ever changed my tune in any respect to SARS-CoV-2. In case you want to save dozens of hours of reading, I have been consistent with what I write since January 2020.

Defict entails recoverability with proper intervention and/or treatment, which is something not only I vehemently believed, but experience myself.

To some, yes, this is the start of early onset neurodegeneartion if they don't address whatever is going under the hood.
