The Nicotine Test - Long Covid Part 2


Listen Later

1. Introduction
I am currently undergoing a unique experiment to combat Long Covid using nicotine patches. This is part two of my ongoing journey where I've been closely monitoring my physical responses and making careful adjustments in my approach.
2. Methodology
The experiment started with me wearing a 5.25 mg nicotine patch for 48 hours, followed by an upgrade to a 7 mg patch for the next two to three days. I plan to round off the week with a two-day 10.5 mg patch. Concurrently, I also decided to incorporate Ivermectin and glutathione into the regimen to supplement the effects of nicotine.
3. Initial Findings
Right from the first day of the nicotine patch, I noticed an immediate surge in my energy levels. Remarkably, I found myself tackling my daily tasks more efficiently and even increased my exercise output. I attribute this improved motivation and energy boost to nicotine's dopaminergic effects and stimulant nature.
4. Side Effects
On the flip side, I experienced some allergy-like symptoms about 24 hours into the test, which felt as though my body was undergoing a detox. I also found myself waking up earlier than usual, though not groggy, and noticed an increase in the vividness of my dreams.
5. Use of Ivermectin
Ivermectin, which I took on the first day along with the nicotine patch, is known for its immunomodulatory effects. My personal experience was no different - the first 24 hours were fantastic. However, I did notice an increased histamine response the following day.
6. Role of Glutathione and Autophagy
Given Ivermectin's role in neutralizing the protein, I also started taking glutathione after the first 48 hours to aid degradation of dislodged proteins. Autophagy, induced by a fasting state or ketosis, is crucial in this context, as it helps degrade and eliminate unnecessary or dysfunctional cellular components.
7. Consideration of Fasting
While I haven't fasted during this nicotine experiment, it's something I'm considering for the future. I'm curious to learn how nicotine might affect the body during a fast and whether this could enhance the autophagic process.
8. Addressing Addiction Concerns
Some might worry about the addictive potential of nicotine. However, nicotine patches offer a slow-release mechanism, which blunts their addictive qualities. Moreover, I believe the detox
