In these strange times, it's never been more important to keep learning and
adapting. With new information about COVID-19 and its subvariants constantly rolling in, and face masks proving to
be even more of a staple travel essential, we've been taking stock of the
best ways to prioritize our safety and choose the right face masks for any
situation.
Though masking up of any kind is important, public health authorities now
recommend steering away from cloth masks and switching to masks with
filtration systems — like N95s — as your personal protective equipment.
According to the CDC, N95 and KN95 masks offer more protection against COVID than a standard cloth mask. And with BA.4 and BA.5 subvariants expected to become more dominant in the U.S. in the coming months,
now's the prime time to stock up on some durable, protective masks —
especially if you'll need to navigate any upcoming summer travel.
And if you're feeling overwhelmed by all the choices and are in need of some
masks that are equal parts practical and protective, ET has compiled a
list of our favorite N95 and KN95 mask options to buy online for protection
against omicron and all of its subvariants. Shop our picks below.

Base Spike Detox According to Dr Peter McCullough (in a X/Twitter post): Base Spike Detox is what I am currently using in my practice for those who have had COVID-19 multiple times, one or more of the COVID-19 vaccines, or both and believe persistent SARS-CoV-2 Spike protein could be causing problems in their body. I have arrived, based on the emerging scientific literature (1) and my clinical observation, that three OTC products are essential as a triple base combination: Nattokinase 2000 FU (100 mg) twice a day Bromelain 500 mg once a day Nano/Liposomal Curcumin 500 mg twice a day Related: Nattokinase, Bromelain and Curcumin from The Wellness Company Additional products can be added, including NAC, IVM (Ivermectin), HCQ (Hydroxychloroquine), fluvoxamine, low-dose naltrexone, and blood thinners, depending on the clinical evaluation and the syndrome. The therapeut...
Can you remove spike proteins from your body? Dr. Paul Marik and Dr. Pierre Kory are pleased to introduce the I-RECOVER: Post-Vaccine Treatment protocol, designed to help people who have experienced adverse symptoms after a COVID vaccine. Kory and Marik are both part of the FLCCC*, which was founded in 2020 to share early treatment protocols for COVID-19. Kory is an ICU specialist, triple board certified in internal medicine, critical care and pulmonary medicine. He now runs a private tele-health practice specializing in the treatment of COVID-19, so-called "long-COVID" and post-vaccine syndrome. *The FLCCC Alliance is now the Independent Medical Alliance Note that there are significant overlaps between the symptoms and features of long COVID/long-hauler syndrome and post-vaccine syndrome. However, a number of clinical features appear to be characteristic of post-vaccine syndrome; most notably, severe neurological symptoms appear to be more common following vaccination. To c...
The Front Line COVID-19 Critical Care (FLCCC*) Alliance was initially formed as a working group during the early COVID-19 pandemic days in response to multiple early reports of COVID patients with an inexplicably high need for prolonged mechanical ventilation and an excessive death rate. *The FLCCC Alliance is now the Independent Medical Alliance Based on rapidly emerging clinical trials evidence, the FLCCC team has developed the I-MASK+ protocol ( is now divided into I-Prevent and I-Care protocols ) for prophylaxis and at home treatment of early stage COVID-19. Quercetin, zinc and a number of nutrients and drugs are part of this protocol, not only for critical care but also for prophylaxis and mild disease being treated at home. This article, we will dive deeper to provide the scientific background, related references and rationale of the FLCCC protocols.

Over the last three years, the COVID-19 pandemic has transformed almost every aspect of our lives before we've had time to stop and question it. Although no official definition exists for post-COVID-vaccine syndrome, a temporal correlation between a patient receiving a COVID-19 vaccine and beginning or worsening of clinical manifestations is sufficient to diagnose as a COVID-19 vaccine-induced injury, when the symptoms are unexplained by other concurrent causes. Dr. Paul Marik and Dr. Pierre Kory are pleased to introduce the I-RECOVER: Post-Vaccine Treatment protocol, designed to help people who have experienced adverse symptoms after a COVID vaccine. Kory and Marik are both part of the FLCCC (The FLCCC Alliance is now the Independent Medical Alliance ), which was founded in 2020 to share early treatment protocols for COVID-19. Kory is an ICU specialist, triple board certified in internal medicine, critical care and pulmonary medicine. He now runs a privat...
Please enjoy this continuing medical education lecture delivered at 40th Cellular Detoxification Conference sponsored by International College of Integrative Medicine in Indianapolis, Indianana, on September 7, 2024. There are no medicine grand rounds or primary care conferences addressing this topic. It is a white space in medicine where no academic medical center has a fundamental approach to handling about 5-10% of the population suffering from post-acute sequalae after recurrent SARS-CoV-2 infection or COVID-19 infection. Both load the body with pathogenic Spike protein which incites inflammation, oxidative stress, coagulation, and all the downstream effects that result in symptoms.

BY THOMAS E. LEVY, MD, JD As the acute cases of COVID have continued to decline, the prevalence of the Persistent Spike Protein (PSP) syndrome has continued to increase. The spike protein is that part of the COVID pathogen that attaches to ACE2 receptors throughout the body and permits the entry of the entire virus into the newly infected cell. There appear to be no cells, tissues, or organs in the body that are completely spared from this PSP attack once enough of it has been introduced into the body. The many mechanisms of action involved in the ultimate removal of spike protein. The persistent presence of the spike protein has been shown to be secondary to the inability to completely resolve a bout of COVID (chronic COVID or long-haul COVID) as well as the spike protein exposure from mRNA inoculation(s). And as more time has passed, the PSP syndrome following one or more mRNA shots has emerged as the most common reason for PSP, especially following a booster injection. Not surprisi...
Treatment should start based on clinical suspicion as soon as possible, preferably within the first 3 days of symptoms. Perform PCR testing, but do not withhold treatment pending results. 'Early' treatment will make significant difference in outcome as opposed to late treatment. Related: How can I get Ivermectin? See the directory of professionals in US below.

Early treatment is critical and the most important factor in managing this disease. COVID-19 is a clinical diagnosis; a confirmed antigen or PCR test is not required. Treatment should be initiated immediately after the onset of flu-like symptoms. The multiple therapies and drugs in this protocol have different mechanisms of action and work synergistically during various phases of the disease. About I-CARE Protocol The information in this document is our recommended approach to COVID-19 based on the best (and most recent) literature. It is provided as guidance to healthcare providers worldwide on the early treatment of COVID-19. Patients should always consult with their provider before starting any medical treatment.

Introduction The rapid development and deployment of COVID-19 vaccines have been monumental in combating the global pandemic, saving countless lives and enabling societies to regain a sense of normalcy. Central to the efficacy of many of these vaccines, particularly mRNA and viral vector-based ones, is the spike protein—a key component of the SARS-CoV-2 virus that facilitates its entry into human cells. By instructing the body to produce a version of this protein, vaccines train the immune system to recognize and neutralize the virus without causing illness. However, as vaccination campaigns expanded, so did public curiosity and concern about the spike protein's role, fueled by a mix of scientific complexity, misinformation, and distrust. This article aims to cut through the noise by providing a fact-based exploration of the spike protein in COVID-19 vaccines. Drawing on peer-reviewed studies, expert insights, and data from health authorities, we unpack common claims, clarify the s...
