One of the most common features of long-COVID syndrome is post-exertional malaise. Even athletes tell me the smallest workout leaves them completely spent, unable to function for several hours.
Nakahara et al demonstrated that the hearts of those vaccinated almost always have abnormal PET scans demonstrating a shift from free fatty acids to 18-flourodeoxyglucose indicative of a fundamental cellular change that has occurred as a result of the vaccine Spike protein. The subcellular organelle responsible for energy generation is the mitochondria.
Van Huynk et al have demonstrated in cultured human cardiomyocytes, that the S1 segment of the Spike protein at 72 hours essentially exhausts the mitochondria. These subcellular organelles become fatigued, change their molecular functions, and even begin to undergo fission into fragments. No wonder people feel so bad all over with long-COVID!

We understand that McCullough Protocol Base Spike Detoxification is essential in treating long-COVID allowing cells to recover normal mitochondrial function. Those with very high Spike concentrations reflected by elevated Spike antibody titers > 1000 units/ml (Roche Elecsys assay) will likely require a full year or more of detoxification.
While undergoing this process, a supplement Dr Peter McCullough commonly recommend to address the symptoms of long-COVID including lack of energy and post-exertional malaise is Elevated Energy from The Wellness Company. If well tolerated, two capsules twice a day can be taken as empirically. While no therapeutic claims can be made, it is reasonable to consider this product for a boost in energy that will help on the road to recovery.
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 — take on an empty stomach Bromelain 500 mg once a day — take on an empty stomach Nano/Liposomal Curcumin 500 mg twice a day — take with food How long should I take this? Dr. McCullough recommends a minimum of 3 months , with many patients requiring 6–12 months or longer. Progress can be tracked via a spike protein antibody test (available through Labcorp in m...

Dr. McCullough explained (1) that the spike protein is an engineered, synthetic molecule roughly 1,200 amino acids long and resistant to degradation by the body’s normal proteases. He described how the protein was modified in laboratory settings (notably at the Wuhan Institute of Virology) to tightly bind to the ACE2 receptor, which is found throughout the body—in the lungs, heart, endothelium, kidneys, and brain. Because this receptor regulates angiotensin metabolism, older individuals with fewer ACE2 sites catabolize the spike less efficiently, leading to worse outcomes. Whether introduced by infection or by genetic‑code‑based vaccines, McCullough asserted, the persistent spike damages tissues directly and through chronic inflammation, micro‑clotting, and autoimmune cross‑reactivity.

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...
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. For years, the public was told that COVID-19 mRNA vaccine components degraded rapidly—within days to weeks. Hulscher, McCullough, and colleagues' 2026 peer-reviewed study challenges that assumption, reporting findings ...
Reviewed by: OneDayMD Editorial Team | Last updated: July 16, 2026 (includes link to Dr Paul Marik and Dr Justus Hope latest Substack article related to "turbo cancer") COVID-19 vaccines and boosters — both mRNA and non-mRNA — pose an increased risk of six types of cancer and a 27% higher risk of cancer overall , according to a recent South Korean study of over 8 million people. Four South Korean researchers published the report last week as a letter in Biomarker Research, a Springer Nature journal. According to the study, COVID-19 vaccines and boosters are associated with a higher risk of breast, colorectal, gastric, lung, prostate and thyroid cancer, across all vaccine types and age groups. Mainstream medical commentators were quick to dismiss the findings, with MedPageToday describing it as “flawed.” But other medical and scientific experts disagreed. “In plain terms: both major COVID-19 vaccine platforms ...
America Out Loud - Our show this week is an excerpt from the BS Free MD Podcast, where Drs. May and Tim Hindmarsh speak with cardiologist and internist Dr. Peter McCullough, a leading scientist investigating long COVID and post-vaccine syndromes. The conversation dives into the evolving understanding of spike-protein–related illness, McCullough’s ground-breaking research linking persistent spike protein exposure to long-term disability, and his practical “McCullough Protocol-Based Spike Detoxification” approach. Dr. May Hindmarsh shares her personal struggle: after severe COVID infections, menopause, and hormonal treatment, her health deteriorated—with rapid heart rate, mast-cell activation, histamine sensitivity, anxiety, insomnia, and gastrointestinal distress. She later discovered her blood test showed sky-high anti–spike protein antibody levels (>12,000 U/mL on LabCorp testing). McCullough explains that such titers correlate with circulating spike protein fragments, even years ...
