I beat this flu/covid strain going around in 24 hours last week. What was my stack?
Well, I had a baseline of optimized hormones, clean diet, reverse osmosis water with trace minerals added back, pre and probiotics from fiber/fermented vegetables, complex carbs, no added sugars, routine exercise, cold plunge, sauna.
Patients have been calling in and coming in to Iron DPC office with the following symptoms:
Fever, body aches, chills, sweats, cough, congestions, abdominal pain, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, headaches.
I wasn’t sure if I was having symptoms or if I had just overtrained (trained chest/back at 5am at Wolf Fitness, then practiced tennis at 8am, saw patients, and then played a tennis match in the afternoon. But something similar happened 3 years ago so when I woke up the next morning with fatigue, bilateral arm tendinopathy, body aches and some GI upset I had a high degree of suspicion this was the flu because I have been seeing so many cases of this at Iron DPC. My friends in the urgent care system say they are seeing extraordinary levels of positive Flu A swabs, so we know the community has this. Logan checked my vitals and I hate a HR of 100 (tachycardia), when my resting is under 60, temperature of 99.9 (which is hot for me).
What did I use acutely:
Methylene blue 30mg in the AM. Quicksilver scientific sublingual glutathione and vitamin C and multi also straight away.
At the HPA I did Cold plunge at 36F for 3 minutes. Then I did the longest sauna session I’ve ever done for 35 minutes at 190F.
I injected 1.5mg of Thymosin Alpha 1.
I Injected KLOW 1mg each. (both of which I filmed in the studio since I wanted to show how it was done. Editing it now and noting how I’m acting kind of stiff and slow because I was not myself.)
I also took a 50mg Ioderol tablet due to the known antiviral and oxidative effects of iodine against pathogens.
You can order most of this protocol on fullscript and integrative peptides. Integrative peptides we keep in stock in the office and the gut feeling has been flying off the shelf since the combo of BPC, KPV, akkermansia, colostrum bovine immunoglobulins has been so potent to stop the diarrhea and abdominal pain in people which I’ve spoken about in my Wolverine Protocol lecture. Thymogen oral has also been great at training dendritic cells to mature and identify and clear infected cells as described at length in my lecture on thymus peptides.
The injectable peptides are also a possibility but are logistically a bit more challenging to obtain as they need to be distributed by one of us, reconstituted, kept cold, injected and more expensive especially at dose per cost.
I would have all patients keep quicksilver scientific sublingual glutathione, vitamin C, multi on hand. Stock up on intranasal iodine and biocidin throat spray.
I also would like all patients to have a household nebulizer and at least one vial of 20% nebulized acetylcysteine solution. Please see this old lecture from 2023 on this topic if still unaware of this essential mucolytic. Because when snot and congestion hits you don’t want to be without it and only rarely does a pharmacy carry it unless we specifically know the pharmacist and ask them to carry it.
Commercial pharmacies stopped carrying nebulizers during the pandemic for some strange reason. This was frustrating because I was prescribing nebulized budesonide through nebulization extensively. They also denied my prescriptions for Hydroxychloroquine and of course I didn’t even try ivermectin with them. Pharmacies that were complicit in this included: CVS, Walgreens, Publix, Walmart. Commercial pharmacies still cause delay in patient care asking for prior authorizations for cheap medicines like tadalafil which I can dispense for $5 for 30 tablets. They deny medications based on outdated PA laws. For that reason I prefer never to use them.
