Effectively Treating Long-haul COVID
During the COVID pandemic we learned that the Sars-CoV-2 (Covid) virus targeted ACE-2 receptors in the body. However, the story continues to unfold.
The Covid virus spike protein also has been shown to attach to nicotine receptors. Once it lands on the receptor, it gives it a boost and then inhibits it, just sitting on the receptor and not allowing it to work at all. The nicotine receptors are involved with the nervous system and activate many different body systems: nose, lungs, central nervous system, and immune cells. When these are impaired by the virus, patients can exhibit long haul common, and potentially debilitating, COVID symptoms such as loss of smell, chronic fatigue, dizziness, shortness of breath, decreased immune system functioning, neurologic issues, and so forth.
So, since it's called a "nicotine receptor", does nicotine affect them? Yes! In fact, nicotine has a higher affinity to the receptors than the COVID virus, so they can
prevent the COVID virus landing there and
push the spike protein off the receptor.
Oddly, this can explain why smokers at times were more protected against COVID, as their nicotine intake prevented the ability of the spike protein to land on those receptors. In fact, those who used more nicotine has less COVID infection. (The one good thing about ingesting nicotine!)
Does this give us an answer for those patients suffering from long haul COVID? Well, interestingly, it seems that it does.
Based on this scientific information, a research team actually tested giving long haul COVID patients nicotine. The conclusion? Here it what the researchers reported: "Treating several individuals suffering fro post-COVID-19 syndrome with a nicotine patch application, we witnessed improvement ranging from immediate and substantial to complete remission in a matter of days."
They used a 7.5 mg patch, replaced daily, for a week. That was it. The improvements occurred in that time and continued even after the nicotine was stopped.
Please do not do this therapy on your own! Allow Dr. Morstein to guide you through it. Many people are very sensitive to nicotine and need to be titrated up slowly to a therapeutic dose, or can experience nausea, heart palpitations and other problematic reactions. There is a detailed methodology for doing this. Some patients also feel better using a lower dose for longer, than a higher dose for shorter. Each person should be individually analyzed and treated.
Also, when the spike protein is bounced off the receptor it can be very inflammatory and cause blood clotting and other cardiovascular risks. As a result, Dr. Morstein institutes a protective protocol to help the blood stay thin, and to help reduce systemic inflammation during the treatment process and for a few weeks after.
If you are any person you know suffers from long haul COVID, please refer them to Dr. Morstein for this innovative and typically effective way to regain one's life and to thrive again. No promises, but many physicians are reporting it's helped the vast majority of their long haul patients.
