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.

A Guide to Diagnosing and Managing Influenza and Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) Infections in Adults In adult patients, COVID-19 (Omicron variant), influenza, and RSV present with similar symptoms and can, therefore, be difficult to distinguish. This guide aims to help diagnose and treat Influenza and Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV). Update: Oseltamivir Treatment vs Supportive Care for Seasonal Influenza Requiring Hospitalization (JAMA 2025) For advice on how to protect yourself against infection, see I-PREVENT: COVID, Flu and RSV Protection Protocol . For treatment of COVID-19, see I-CARE: Early COVID Treatment Protocol . For treatment of Post Vaccine Complications, see I-RECOVER: Post Vaccine Treatment . Update: Added Minocycline (Jan 2023 update) Note that there are two I-Care Protocols; the I-Care Covid protocol to treat Covid and this protocol, I-Care Flu protocol.

For years, clinicians and patients have described a disturbing pattern — cancers appearing suddenly, growing at unexpected speed, or diseases thought stable returning aggressively within weeks or months. A sudden rise in younger people with early onset cancers which are more aggressive with more (and unusual) genetic change has been increasingly noted - colorectal, breast and GI tract cancers seem to lead the way. Some called them “turbo cancers”. In oncology, the phenomenon is known as hyper-progression: cancers that accelerate far more rapidly than expected. Early on, these reports were ignored. They surfaced as scattered cases — isolated anecdotes that were easy to dismiss. One of the first to speak publicly was Belgian immunologist Michel Goldman, whose story was published in The Atlantic in 2022. He believed the Covid-19 vaccine may have accelerated his lymphoma. Shortly after vaccination and boosting, he developed swollen lymph nodes, fatigue and night sweats. Imaging revealed ...
Dr. Peter McCullough is an internist, cardiologist, epidemiologist, a full professor of medicine at Texas A&M College of Medicine in Dallas, USA. He also has a master's degree in public health and is known for being one of the top five most-published medical researchers in the United States and is the editor of two medical journals. McCullough Protocol 2022 Updates: Double blind randomized controlled trial of saline solution gargling and nasal rinsing in COVID infection (Nov 2023) What really killed COVID-19 patients: It wasn't a cytokine storm, suggests study (2023) Everyone is familiar with nasal and oral swab testing for COVID-19. It should be obvious the virus is replicating in the nose, and with Omicron, the speed of replication has become much greater than the pr...
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.

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 priva...
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.

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...
In clinic today I want to address the most common question I get from patients, “have I been exposed to the SARS-CoV-2 Spike protein through infection, shedding, or vaccination, and what should I do about it?” This video will explain that you can now take matters into your own hands and order a Spike protein antibody test from Labcorp Labs On Demand and get the results within a few days. Here is a quick guide of interpretation of your results: <1000 U/ml very low level past exposure, negligible risks 1000-5000 U/ml symptoms or problem could be related to Spike protein >5000 U/ml Spike protein likely circulating in your bloodstream 10,000-25,000 U/ml very high risk for cardiac damage, blood clots, neurologic problems, autoimmunity, and potentially cancer Remember the antibodies are an indirect reflection of Spike protein and do not change quickly. My advice is not to check the test again for a year. Above is one of my patients who has resolved his Spike syndrome with detoxificat...
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.
