Philosophy of Post Vax/Long Covid Disorder:

Cascade effect with mechanism feedback loops that perpetuate immune dysregualtion. Treatment requires starting at base/root
cause (e.g. spike) while controlling symptoms and working outwards:
• Spike Protein / viral remnants (note: this is NON-replicating Viral Persistence; there are NO known cases of “non-acute” covid
replication competent virus. There are “theories” of continued reservoirs of replicating virus based on finding viral remnants
 and continued symptoms. Worth monitoring but as of now, the researchers are finding partial RNA/spike remnants; that
alone + any initial acute infection activity can cause ALL immune dysregulation. Remember, one has to account for pure vax
injuries (spike) with ZERO virus to be able to account for what stimulates the immune issues à
o Broad Immune dysregulation / Elevated Cytokines à T Cell, NK Cell, and/or B Cell disorders; other WBC disorders:
e.g. monocyte levels and types; other innate or adaptive immune issues: histamine/MCAS, platelets, dendritic cells
§ Endotheliatis ß à “micro clots” ß à autoimmune T cell and/or B cell auto antibodies ß à GI Biome
Dysfunction ß à Viral/Bacterial Reactivation ß à Systemic inflammation (inter-dependencies and feedback
loops at this level) ß à mitochondrial dysfunction
• Functional drivers: Neuro-inflammation, Neuro receptor imbalance/dysfunction, Brain Glycogen
energy disruption/hypometabolism, neural damage, glial cell damage, micro capillary destruction /
tissue ischemia, “Leaky Gut”, reduced oxygen perfusion, blood brain barrier (BBB) permeability
o Objective/Subjective symptoms: ‘brain fog, tinnitus’, neuropathies, dizziness, insomnia, SOB,
POTS, Blood Pressure issues, pericarditis, myocarditis, rashes, and on and on…………………..

My focus was to treat for Post Vax/LongCovid “DRIVERS” most relevant to my issues (did not treat for things like histamine/MCAS
that I never faced):
Brain Glycogen Energy Disruption, Cytokine inflammation, Dysautonomia/ANS dysfunction, EBV reactivation, Endothelialitis, GI Biome Disruption,
Immune dysregulation, including optimizing T cell populations (not yet for autoimmune though leveraging numerous immune modulators & specifically
Olive Leaf Extract that may have some use on periphery), Micro clots, Neural damage (brain synapse, etc), Neuro-inflammation, Neuroreceptor
imbalance/dysfunction. Mitochondrial dysfunction

I HAD BEEN treating for following Symptoms: high blood pressure, insomnia, GI motility issues (severe constipation, gas, bloating)
burning/tingling skin sensations, random body muscle twitches, headaches, heart palpitations, periodic heart pulse spikes (not POTS), blurry vision,
dizziness/lightheadedness, tinnitus, and brief brain fog (lasted only 10 days). During this earlier period, I did take low dose apixaban and more
aggressive anticoagulant therapy to manage amyloid fibrin (micro clots). So my current treatment plan above is somewhat different than initial but
largely consistent as I stick with treatments longer term.

I am CURRENTLY TREATING to continue stabilizing/balancing Immune system to ensure complete healing is maintained (security) AND to limit future
long hauling from any further infections.
Recently Treating for following blood chemistry Issues: mildly low Vitamin D, mildly low ferritin, mildly anemic, very low testosterone, multiple
elevated cytokines, particularly sCD40L, VEGF, TNF-a
à NOTE: as of Jan 2023 Vitamin D, Ferritin, and Testosterone all normal and no longer anemic. EBV Early Antigen numbers continue to drop (now 22 vs.
28.6 at peak; ‘9’ is normal limit.)

Supplements I had on deck to trial if needed, but did not: Cistanche Tubulosa, Enzymatically modified Rice Bran Extract, Thymic Protein A
(took this first 2 months of my treatment protocol to support T cell boost)

Other supplements/meds I don’t take but recommend considering in ‘some’ circumstances:

• Agmatine, Ashwagandha, Bacopa, Black Cumin Seed Oil, CBD Oil, Curcumin, Dipyridamole (VERY INTERETING FOR “MICRO CLOT” TREATMENT!!;
potential for EBV; and may help with microglial recovery/healing), Fisetin, Fucoidan (laminaria japonica), Guanfacine, H1/H2 blockers – particularly
hydroxyzine, Ivermectin, LDN, Maraviroc, Methylene Blue, Monolaurin, NAC, Quercetin, rapamycin (cheaper/more accessible way to immune
 suppressive – reduces T and B cell activation), Sulodexide (VERY INTERESTING FOR “MICRO CLOTS” *BUT* HARD TO ACCESS IN MOST MARKETS), 6-
shogaol, Vitamin C IV 25g+ (good option for resistant viral reactivations); Truvada as alternative anti-viral for EBV reactivation or if one buys into the
persistent *replicating* virus reservoir theory (note, this has NOT been proven to date in long haulers; vs. prolonged acute due to immune issues in
rare individuals….who continue to test positive on PCR testing)

Treatment Modalities of Interest “under certain circumstance”:

HBOT, High Dose IV Vitamin C, Stellate Ganglion Block (SGB), Immune Absorption or Plasmapheresis, HELP apheresis, Home Vagus Nerve Stimulation (with
TENS unit on ear), Vagus Nerve exercises (gargling, humming, massage, cold showers, breathing exercises)
** many of these should be reserved for after months of baseline med/supplement treatment and progress. For example, Help Apheresis should be reserved
for consideration AFTER months of oral treatments and demonstrated progress (e.g. sCD40L levels back to normal); then HELP could be viable for clearing up
resistant micro clots with no indications body is trying to stimulate more.

ABOVE ALL à progressive, graduated exercise program; with pacing as needed to accommodate PEM issues (if present). NOTE – by pacing, if one has PEM,
this could be as simple as walking around the home in a few circle laps or similar to start and trying to add a “lap” per week. Know your body and adjust
accordingly.

TREATING ACUTE INFECTIONS IN FUTURE (my ready to go plan):

1. Paxlovid – 10 days (note: this is not an ideal anti-viral but it is the only one currently available, shown to reduce LC risk by 25%. It will do ‘for now’
2. Metformin 500mg 3 to 4 weeks – currently already taking x2 daily. Will boost to x3 daily post acute infection à shown in well powered blinded study
to reduce LC risk by 40%
3. ENOVID NO Nasal Spray – x4 daily; generates NO in the respiratory track that kills active virus. It only works in the respiratory tract so it’s not going to
kill nearly all of the virus but anything that reduces viral burden is good.
Note: I keep all of this on shelf at home ready to go. IF I believe infected, would test x2 daily with 2 different at home test kits and starting 2nd day also
go for NAAT rapid testing at nearby drugstore daily. In parallel, I would start the Enovid spray and increase metformin to 3x daily pro-actively. The
minute I tested positive I would start Paxlovid ASAP. It is important not to paxlovid if one does not need to AND to not take it more than 10 to 15 days
(longer term, Paxlovid will have negative effects on endothelium/NO, fat distribution (lipodystrophy), and other not so good events.

MY PERSPECTIVE ON LONG HAULER OUTLOOK:

1. Time is NOT your friend; for many it will be the enemy. Yes, some do get better with time alone but most don’t. This is now well established is
several tracking studies that show minimal recovery at the 2yr mark. In fact, the longer the long hauler goes on, the increasing odds of long-term to
permanent damage to organs. Long hauling is not a ‘free ride’ for the body. This may effect some in short term and for others it will lead to much
lower quality of life and shortened life long term. Also, many that say they have recovered, interestingly, pop back up months later with relapse

2. There will NEVER be one miracle cure; rather Patient Clustering & ‘Cocktail’ Treatments. It may be starting to slowly dawn on some as we get close
to 4yrs into this and no real progress to a ‘cure’. Many hail things like anti-virals, BC007, etc, but reality is none of these will help many, at least alone.
 Why? Because the core immune dysregulation and downstream effects varies so much by individual. That is to say, it’s a complex interaction of
individual genetics and environmental factors that establish how long hauling will play out in a person. So 5 people with the same symptoms may have
different drivers and different treatment needs. Asking someone what they took for X symptom and then taking that treatment is as likely to not work
as to work. Here is what will happen and where my bet firmly is: researchers will better identify clusters of patients (Patterson/IncellDX does this to
some degree on a very basic level). Eventually patients will receive various tests that sort them into a treatment cluster. In these clusters, in near-
term, patients will receive re-purposed meds and supporting supplements/therapies to address their needs. Longer-term ‘some’ new
treatments/meds will come to market and they will help some clusters of patients. It is unlikely that one or two meds will cure; rather, it will require a
cocktail of multiple meds/supplements and taking them for a long period until the immune system can finally heal/rebalance. If one does not want to
take lots of meds/supplements, then that is their choice but they need to understand the long-term is very likely going to poor for them, sorry to say.

3. The treatments that will work for you already exist; stop waiting for a new miracle to be developed. See above for more detail on this. But to add,
do you realize how long it takes to bring a new drug to market? I hear some reference how fast the covid vaccines got to market. That is a false
comparison. That was a crises effecting the entire planet population. While you may feel that is the case with long haulers, that is not how health
industry/regulators see it. Look, there are 10’s of millions of Alzheimer’s patients (and huge future risk for this to grow) and look how long new drugs
take to work their way to market. Same here. They will NOT short change safety to shortcut the process just for long haulers. Almost 4yrs into this,
you would think this would be starting to dawn on people. Now, I will say, if long haulers, instead of being sheep got organized and active like Act Up
and other groups did with AIDS decades ago, then possibly there could be some shift here. But I’m not holding my breath to see long haulers get it
together and say F it; I’m going to band together with a group and go lay down in roads to block traffic or chain ourselves to government buildings.
Posting angry thoughts on social media and writing to government officials is not going to move the needle. That’s a fact!

4. Persistant Viral Theory. Completely, agree there is viral persistence from standpoint of partial viral RNA and spike proteins that some people’s
immune system struggle to clear and this creates further immune dysregulation. But is there persistent, “replicating” virus beyond acute phase (3 to 4
months)? There is NO current research that has proven viral replication (not counting rare immune compromised cases where they continued to test
positive to PCR testing into years). The theory to date is because they are finding viral particles there must be a hidden reservoir somewhere of
replicating virus at low level. It’s a nice theory and perhaps some will eventually prove this. But no one has to date. Also, as an initial post vax long
hauler that extensive testing showed had never been exposed to virus at the time, I can say post vax issues are the other side of the same coin. So that
shows that all of this can happen with just viral spike proteins. And FYI, I had no issues until my 5th vax so I’m not some anti-vaxxer. The reality is there
can be rare adverse events with ANY vaccine. While uncommon, it does appear that the incidence of adverse effect is somewhat higher with covid
vaccines. Is this 0.5%, 1%? No good research here. It’s certainly not 5% or higher. But it does seem higher vs. most other vaccines. EVEN IF there is
replicating virus, once it’s impacted the immune system, clearing it with anti-viral alone is unlikely to be sufficient: the immune dysregulation has
occurred. And the longer this has been in place, the more established that dysregulation is. Much more treatment will be required to treat the
immune system and treat/manage downstream events and symptoms until resolved. So no matter what side of the table you are on with respect to
viral persistence, it’s also not going to be a miracle one pill quick cure treatment. Though I note, at initial acute infection, preventing or rapidly treating
that with more effective anti-virals (vs. Paxlovid) could potentially prevent all of this. So in that initial case, a “miracle preventive” is possible in the
future; but here we are focusing more on the established long hauler.

5. One cannot stop taking meds/supplements the second they feel good. I see SO many believe they have recovered and stop all treatment. Then many
months later, they inevitably experience a relapse. The reality is immune balancing takes a long time. The physical symptoms can resolve but the
 underlying immune system has not fully healed. Stop the treatments, and within months the immune system again becomes very dysregulated. Keep
treatment going for an extended period after feeling better. Ideally, I would continue for 1yr post AND extensively test to ensure everything is looking
good: are T cell counts normal and steady over time? are T cell subsets looking good? Is all cytokine inflammation gone? Are other tests that were
abmornal before (anemia, hormones, reactivated virus, etc) all resolved “on blood tests” not just symptom relief?

6. One is not Cured until at least 1yr post symptom resolution and normal testing. I would use the term “remisison” before then. Like a cancer patient
saying they are in remission. SO SO many people think they are all better and then show back up 6, 8 months later confused why they suddenly got
worse again. Sometimes an infection or some life stressor precipitates this; sometimes it appears random. But things go downhill

7. Net, There is no easy way out of this; It’s going to take hard work. Hoping this is a dream and it will go away with just a few more months. Hoping
that BC007, a new antiviral, or some other drug is going to magically come to the rescue is a false dream. Trying some new med/supplement/therapy
that some stranger recommended online said it worked for their same symptoms, without any linkage to similar underlying mechanisms
