Recovering from Covid and Long Hauler's Covid

Recovering from COVID-19, detoxifying spike proteins, and addressing long-haul symptoms require a targeted approach to rebuild cellular health, especially mitochondria, which play a critical role in energy production and immunity. Below is a comprehensive natural protocol:


1. Supporting the Immune System and Detoxifying Spike Proteins

  • N-Acetyl Cysteine (NAC): A precursor to glutathione, NAC helps detoxify harmful spike proteins and reduces oxidative stress.

  • Glutathione: Known as the master antioxidant, it neutralizes free radicals and supports detoxification pathways. Supplements or foods like broccoli and spinach can boost levels.

  • Quercetin: A bioflavonoid that aids in cellular detoxification and immune modulation. Found in onions, apples, and supplements.

  • Vitamin D: Essential for immune regulation. Aim for blood levels between 50-80 ng/mL. Sources include sunlight, fatty fish, or supplementation.

  • Pine Needle Tea: Believed to contain shikimic acid, which may help neutralize spike protein effects.

  • Intenzyme Forte by Biotics: These enzymes eat up spike proteins.


2. Rebuilding Mitochondria for Energy Recovery

  • CoQ10: This antioxidant supports mitochondrial energy production and is particularly important in cellular repair. Found in organ meats, fish, and supplements.

  • Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA): Enhances mitochondrial function and reduces inflammation. ALA is found in spinach, broccoli, and supplements.

  • Urolithin A: Derived from ellagitannins in pomegranates, it promotes mitophagy (clearing damaged mitochondria) and improves mitochondrial health.

  • Magnesium: Critical for energy production and enzyme activation. Include magnesium-rich foods like nuts, seeds, and leafy greens.

  • L-Carnitine: Helps transport fatty acids into mitochondria for energy production. Found in red meat or as a supplement.

  • B Vitamins: Particularly B1 (thiamine), B2 (riboflavin), and B3 (niacin) aid mitochondrial function. Include whole grains, eggs, and legumes in your diet.

  • Power Pill b y Zorex: Rebuilds the mitochondria.


3. Reducing Inflammation and Oxidative Stress

  • Curcumin: An anti-inflammatory compound found in turmeric. Combine with black pepper for better absorption.

  • Omega-3 Fatty Acids: Found in fatty fish like salmon and walnuts, omega-3s combat systemic inflammation.

  • Green Tea: Rich in antioxidants, it helps reduce oxidative damage and improve mitochondrial health.


4. Enhancing Cellular and Tissue Oxygenation

  • Regular Exercise: Begin with light activities like walking or yoga to increase circulation and oxygenation.

  • Breathing Exercises: Deep breathing or diaphragmatic exercises improve oxygen exchange and aid cellular recovery.

  • Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy: A clinical option to promote tissue oxygenation and repair.


5. Restoring Gut Health

  • Probiotics and Prebiotics: Support gut health with fermented foods like yogurt, kimchi, and fiber-rich foods like bananas.

  • Digestive Enzymes: Aid in nutrient absorption, ensuring the body gets essential vitamins and minerals.


6. Lifestyle Changes for Long-Term Recovery

  • Sleep Optimization: Deep sleep is critical for mitochondrial repair and overall healing. Aim for 7-9 hours per night.

  • Stress Management: Practice mindfulness, prayer, or meditation to reduce cortisol, which can impair recovery.

  • Hydration: Drink at least 8-10 glasses of water daily to flush toxins and support cellular processes.


7. Advanced Therapies and Monitoring

  • IV Vitamin Therapy: Administering high doses of vitamin C, B vitamins, and glutathione directly into the bloodstream can accelerate healing.

  • Ozone Therapy: Emerging as a potential treatment for reducing viral persistence and inflammation.

  • Functional Medicine Testing: Check for deficiencies in key nutrients and mitochondrial dysfunction markers.


7. Prayer

  • Speak to the Mountain: Read Mark 11:22-25 and start speaking to your mountain, whatever it may be, including sickness.

  • Live by Proverbs 4:20-23: God's Word gives us the instructions on how to live in health.

Rebuilding mitochondria and addressing long COVID symptoms requires patience and a multifaceted approach. This natural protocol focuses on supporting detoxification, reducing inflammation, restoring gut and mitochondrial health, and improving overall vitality. Always consult a healthcare professional before starting any new supplements or therapies. ~Kimberly
