Dr.
has been investigating a triple-combination therapy to break up the spike protein and detoxify your body. Spike protein is a hazardous protein to have inside of your body and can persist a long time, in spite of what we were first told (that it would be short-lived). Here’s the investigational protocol copied over from the link above:Nattokinase 2000 FU (100 mg) twice a day
Bromelain 500 mg once a day
Nano Curcumin 500 mg twice a day
All three of these dietary supplements have been in use for decades now, and in trials, they all have very good safety profiles. Nattokinase is an enzyme found in fermented soybeans (“Natto”) which have been consumed in Japan for centuries, and is one of the possible reasons why those in Japan have good longevity.
Bromelain is a protein-digesting enzyme found in pineapple. It is approved in Europe to debride burn wounds, but also has anti-inflammatory and anti-coagulative effects. Interesting, it has an ability to decrease the pro-inflammatory prostaglandin, PGE2, which even surpassed the ability of prednisone and aspirin!
Curcumin is from turmeric, a long-used spice that comes from the ginger family, and it has anti-inflammatory and even anti-coagulative properties. Moreover, it appears to be synergistic when administered with bromelain, which helps it to absorb.
A scientific literature search reveals that the actions of both nattokinase and bromelain are dose-responsive (more enzyme = more action), but always work with a medical professional such as Dr. McCullough to arrive at prudent doses. Here is an oversimplified graphic showing their potential to break up the spike protein:
The hope would be that, if attacking the spike protein at different spots, you’ll degrade it by so much that it will cease to be a hazard to your body. The other physiologic effects, such as breaking down the fibrin that forms clots and interfering with the over-activation of the immune system (cytokine storm) make these three supplements very promising.
