Spike Protein Syndrome Treatment: 9 Case Reports with Clinical Protocols (2026 Update)
.png)
In late 2023, some researchers introduced a new name, "SPIKEOPATHY," to explain that a protein called the Spike protein—found in both the virus and mRNA vaccines—plays a big role in causing these long-term problems. Because of this, the term Post-Spike Syndrome (PSS) is suggested as a clearer name for this condition.
What is Post-Spike Syndrome?
PSS can affect many parts of the body and cause serious, long-lasting health problems. Scientists are learning more about how the Spike protein causes these issues. The tiny particles from mRNA vaccines can travel through the body, not just stay where the shot was given. Both these particles and the Spike protein can trigger inflammation (the body's reaction to injury or infection) in different organs.Sometimes, the Spike protein appears on our own cells, which can confuse the immune system and cause it to attack the body by mistake. This can make inflammation worse.
Symptoms of Post Spike Syndrome
Because the Spike protein spreads through the bloodstream, it can affect many systems in the body, including:- Nervous system: causing brain fog, memory problems, headaches, tingling in hands or feet
- Heart: irregular heartbeats
- Immune system: flare-ups of existing diseases like psoriasis or autoimmune disorders
- Digestive system: nausea, diarrhea, loss of appetite
- Skin: rashes, hair loss
- Eyes: vision problems
- Other symptoms: extreme tiredness, joint pain, sleep problems
Post-Spike Syndrome or Long Covid Case Series Compilation
Our goal is to help both patients and doctors recognize Post-Spike Syndrome (PSS), suggest a possible treatment approach, and encourage more research to better understand and manage this often long-lasting and challenging condition.
Dr. Bruce Boros is a top shelf internist and cardiologist who brought modern cardiology to the Florida Keys. His stories of handling acute COVID-19 in acutely ill patients who had nowhere to go are amazing because he had first hand examination and chest CT evidence of rapid resolution with high dose ivermectin. He instinctively knew high-risk seniors who frequent the coral cay archipelago needed early multidrug treatment.
After a conversation we had about the science of McCullough Protocol Base Spike Detoxification, Dr. Boros put himself on Ultimate Spike Detox from The Wellness Company. He was already on a robust supplement regimen and had original treatment with ivermectin. With that base, he was set up for success with the higher dose and more intensive Spike formula. He was thrilled to report his symptoms have resolved in weeks and he is seeing similar progress with his long-COVID patients.
Dr. Peter McCullough suggests that a detoxification protocol should be followed for at least a year to prevent the recurrence of symptoms, which might occur due to reinfection or possibly from shedding. He indicates that if these products, such as Ultimate Spike Detox or Spike Support, are well tolerated, they can be continued indefinitely.

“I decided that I will make that decision,” she said, “only if it’s the last resort, and I’m on my deathbed.”
A few months before her consultation, however, Eyres, then fifty-eight, made an appointment with a new primary care doctor for routine prescription refills. She was about to be introduced, literally and figuratively, to a new kind of medicine. It would change everything.
Dr. James Miller, a former surgeon, liked to get to know his patients, so he asked Eyres for her history. She told him of her diagnosis, thirty years prior, with a serious but manageable case of scleroderma. After two covid vaccinations in 2020, however, this auto-immune disorder, which can affect skin and organs, showed exactly what it could do.
Exhausted and tethered to an oxygen tank, Eyres spent months on her couch. She took medications that had awful side effects. Her lungs were “loaded with ground glass opacities in the lower lobes,” she said, which CT scans confirm. Eyres was diagnosed in 2021 with interstitial lung disease and pulmonary arterial hypertension. Her work in physical fitness was over.
When Eyres finished her history, she got two surprises. Miller agreed it was likely that the covid shots had made her condition, he later told me, “massively worse.” He then listened to her lungs to see how bad they sounded. “Don’t rush that,” he said of the transplant, a sure sign of a doctor who believed in other options.
Eyres was ecstatic. Miller, she said, was the “first doctor that actually hears me.” Two others had dismissed her contention, even as studies documented vaccine harm; Yale University reported that patients with “post-vaccination syndrome” had impaired immune systems and prolonged spike protein production “compared to healthy controls.”
Dr Miller then offered Eyres help in the form of three easy-to-find supplements for her vaccine injury: nattokinase, bromelain, and turmeric. She soon felt better.
Case No. 1
A 57-year-old female presented in November 2024 with worsening skin lesions in the elbow region since August 2021. The patient had experienced similar but milder lesions since 2018. Additionally, she reported intense fatigue, alopecia, memory decline, and tingling in the extremities, which are classic symptoms of Post-Spike Syndrome (PSS). A biopsy from April 2024 confirmed interstitial granulomatous dermatitis (IGD).
Despite consulting several dermatologists and undergoing extensive workup, no underlying pathology linked to IGD was identified. A trial of corticosteroids was attempted but produced no improvement.
Upon reviewing her history, we identified a correlation between her PSS symptoms and IGD flare-ups following doses of Pfizer mRNA-based immunotherapy (she received two doses from Pfizer, one in August and another in December 2021). We (Zeballos et al 2025) initiated antibiotics for five days using criteria according to the patient's individual characteristics. In this case, we used:
- Ciprofloxacin 500 mg, administered once a day for 5 days. (Fluoroquinolone Alert)
- Nattokinase 100 mg twice a day for at least 90 days
- Ivermectin 6 mg/30 kg administered 3 times a week for at least 8 weeks
- Probiotics (Lactobacillus acidophilus NCFM®, Lactobacillus paracasei Lpc−37™, Bifidobacterium lactis BI−04™, Bifidobacterium lactis BI−07™ and Bifidobacterium bifidum Bb−02™) 335 mg twice a day for 90 days.
Case 2
- Ciprofloxacin 500 mg, administered once a day. (Fluoroquinolone Alert)
- Nattokinase 100 mg twice daily for at least 90 days
- Ivermectin 6 mg/30 kg administered 3 times weekly for at least 8 weeks
- Probiotics (Lactobacillus acidophilus NCFM®, Lactobacillus paracasei Lpc−37™, Bifidobacterium lactis BI−04™, Bifidobacterium lactis BI−07™ and Bifidobacterium bifidum Bb−02™) 335 mg twice daily for 90 days.
Case 3
- Ciprofloxacin 500 mg, administered twice a day. (Fluoroquinolone Alert)
- Nattokinase 100 mg twice a day for at least 90 days
- Ivermectin 6 mg/30 kg administered 3 times a week for at least 8 weeks
- Probiotics (Lactobacillus acidophilus NCFM®, Lactobacillus paracasei Lpc−37™, Bifidobacterium lactis BI−04™, Bifidobacterium lactis BI−07™ and Bifidobacterium bifidum Bb−02™) 335 mg twice a day for 90 days.
Case 4
A 70-year-old female consulted in July 2023. She experienced a severe Reaction with tremors and hypothermia after her first dose of AstraZeneca in April 2021. Thirty days later, she developed tingling in one finger of her left hand. The patient received another dose of AstraZeneca in April 2021 and a Pfizer in January 2022. After her second COVID-19 infection in September 2023, she developed widespread tingling (especially in her hands, feet, legs, and around her mouth), burning during bowel movements, brain fog, dizziness, and intense fatigue, consistent with PSS.We (Zeballos et al 2025) initiated our therapeutic strategy (below) in addition to Her existing medications (levothyroxine, losartan 50 mg twice daily, amlodipine 5 mg, rosuvastatin 20 mg, paroxetine 20 mg, and alprazolam 0.5 mg). After two months of treatment, most PSS symptoms regressed, with only mild residual tingling in her right hand. However, in March 2024, she experienced a relapse of PSS. Upon restarting treatment, symptoms improved again, except for the persistent tingling in her left hand and around her mouth, which remained mild but unresolved. As of November 24, 2024, the patient is stable.
- Nattokinase 100 mg twice a day for at least 90 days
- Ivermectin 6 mg/30 kg administered 3 times a week for at least 8 weeks
- Probiotics (Lactobacillus acidophilus NCFM®, Lactobacillus paracasei Lpc−37™, Bifidobacterium lactis BI−04™, Bifidobacterium lactis BI−07™, and Bifidobacterium bifidum Bb−02™) 335 mg twice a day for 90 days.
Case 5
A 50-year-old female, consulted in September 2024 with a history of Encephalitis in March 2021, for which COVID-19 was ruled out despite extensive testing. Following encephalitis, she developed seizures responsive only to valproic acid, which caused alopecia and sedation.After contracting COVID-19 in September 2021, she developed fatigue, memory loss, joint pain, intestinal problems, and tingling in the lips, consistent with PSS. Her seizures were myoclonic and incapacitating, prompting her to consult multiple specialists. She then received hospital medical care aimed at controlling the seizures and adjusting her medication, but they were all without success.
This patient has not been vaccinated for COVID-19. She saw six neurologists and three epilepsy specialists, all of whom failed to control her seizures. At one point, she was taking eleven anticonvulsants daily,which either failed to prevent seizures or caused excessive sedation, which led her to stop taking the anticonvulsants. Eventually, she opted to manage the seizures by sitting or lying down as soon as she noticed the visual aura. She ended up having four seizures per week. In August 2022, her condition worsened, leading to hospitalization for severe myoclonic seizures. A third COVID-19 infection in May 2024 triggered another increase in seizure frequency and PSS symptoms, including fatigue, memory loss, joint pain, and intestinal issues.
- Ciprofloxacin 500 mg, administered twice a day. (Fluoroquinolone Alert)
- Nattokinase 100 mg twice daily for at least 90 days
- Ivermectin 6 mg/30 kg administered 3 times weekly for at least 8 weeks
- Probiotics (Lactobacillus acidophilus NCFM®, Lactobacillus paracasei Lpc−37™, Bifidobacterium lactis BI−04™, Bifidobacterium lactis BI−07™ and Bifidobacterium bifidum Bb−02™) 335 mg twice daily for 90 days.
Case No. 6
- A 21-year-old male diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) received one dose of the Moderna mRNA-1273 COVID-19 vaccine (100 mcg - batch: 061E21A) on November 18th, 2021.
- Approximately two weeks later, the patient ingested a supratherapeutic dose of atomoxetine (ATX, 200 mg) and dexmethylphenidate (d-MPH, 150 mg, Focalin®), having previously taken similar doses prior to vaccination, which resulted in expected sympathomimetic effects including xerostomia, melanoglossia, and anxiety, without any cardiac symptoms.
- The patient subsequently developed hyperhidrosis, orthostatic intolerance, subjective palpitations, and pitting lower extremity edema, which spontaneously resolved within 24 hours, and the patient returned home without seeking medical attention.
- The patient experienced recurring cardiovascular symptoms, particularly after the ingestion of d-MPH/ATX, prompting discontinuation of psychostimulants and atomoxetine.
- Throughout the following months, the patient’s condition deteriorated, with frequent episodes of angina pectoris, dyspnea, palpitations, edema, and fatigue without clear inciting factors.
- The patient sought emergency department care multiple times, but symptoms were consistently attributed to anxiety, likely due to his history of anxiety diagnoses.
- Nine months after mRNA injection, the patient suffered vaccine failure and contracted COVID-19, managed with nirmatrelvir/ritonavir.
- The infection was moderate, peaking with a temperature of 104°F, and was followed by several non-SARS-CoV-2 viral upper respiratory infections.
- Seven months after mRNA injection, he contracted COVID-19 again, and while the infection was mild, he soon developed symptoms of heart failure (NYHA Class III), including effort intolerance, dyspnea, orthostatic intolerance, and lower extremity edema.
- 48-hour ambulatory ECG revealed a heart rate range of 39-205 bpm, with consistent sinus rhythm.
- Cardiac Evaluation:
- 48-hour ambulatory ECG revealed a heart rate range of 39-205 bpm, with consistent sinus rhythm.
- Blood pressure was 128/90 mmHg, pulse rate was 62 bpm, and SpO2 was 100% as clinically measured.
- Echocardiography showed an ejection fraction of 60%.
- Electrocardiogram (ECG) at initial clinical encounter indicated diffuse ST elevation.
- After six months of treatment for myopericarditis, the patient presented with a blood pressure of 122/80 mmHg, a pulse rate of 75 bpm, and an SpO2 level of 100%.
- The ECG revealed persistent ST elevation characteristic of active, ongoing myopericarditis (Figure 4).
- Thoracic ultrasound did not reveal any pericardial effusion, and auscultation was unremarkable for abnormal heart sounds.
- The patient reported atypical chest pain localized to the seventh left intercostal space.
- A cardiac MRI with contrast was declined by the patient due to concerns about gadolinium-based contrast agents.
- SARS-CoV-2 Spike protein IgG quantification had decreased to 2650 AU/ml.
- Prednisone (20 mg/day) was initiated, and the patient experienced improvement in symptoms and resolution of the ST elevation after completing the corticosteroid course.
- Due to unfavorable cognitive side effects, the patient chose not to continue corticosteroid therapy, and alternative treatments were explored.
- Given the patient’s reluctance to continue corticosteroids and the persistence of myopericarditis symptoms, rapamycin (1 mg/day per os) was introduced as an alternative therapeutic intervention.
- The patient’s HR, SpO2, and ECG were monitored regularly during treatment.
- After approximately four weeks of rapamycin administration, ST elevation resolved, and QRS voltage returned to normal (previously showing low voltage).
- Subjectively, the patient reported durable resolution of symptoms, including chest pain, dyspnea, and effort intolerance.
- Follow-up labs, including a complete blood count (CBC) and comprehensive metabolic panel (CMP), were performed three months after rapamycin initiation and were unremarkable.
- A repeat ECG at seven months into rapamycin treatment showed persistent resolution of the ST elevation.
- The patient’s condition had stabilized, and no significant side effects from rapamycin, such as depression of white blood cell counts or inhibition of wound healing, were observed.
Dr Robert W. Enzenauer, MD, MPH shared in September 2024:
Dr. McCullough : I am a physician who got Pfizer 2020, 2021 and 2021 to keep working at hospital in Colorado. I am happy to report: MARCH 2024 Spike ABY 1:25,000. Using the McCullough protocol now six months, my Spike antibody down to 1:740 in SEPT 2024. Thank you sir.
Conclusion
This case series highlights a consistent clinical pattern across patients with suspected Post-Spike Syndrome (PSS), characterized by multi-system involvement, chronic inflammation, and significant functional impairment. Despite heterogeneity in presentation—including neurological, dermatological, cardiovascular, and autoimmune manifestations—patients shared a common trajectory of persistent symptoms following either SARS-CoV-2 infection or mRNA vaccination exposure.
A multi-modal therapeutic strategy—primarily involving antiparasitic agents (e.g., ivermectin), fibrinolytics (e.g., nattokinase), short-course antibiotics, and microbiome support—was associated with substantial symptom improvement or complete resolution in most reported cases within weeks to months. Notably, even complex and refractory conditions, including seizure disorders and inflammatory syndromes, demonstrated rapid and sustained responses in select patients.
However, these findings must be interpreted with caution. The evidence presented is derived from observational case reports without randomization, control groups, or standardized outcome measures. Potential confounders—including concomitant medications, natural recovery, and placebo effects—cannot be excluded. Furthermore, the proposed pathophysiological role of persistent spike protein, while biologically plausible, remains an area of ongoing investigation rather than established consensus.
Importantly, variability in treatment response—such as relapses or partial recovery in some patients—suggests that PSS is likely a heterogeneous condition requiring individualized, adaptive management strategies. The inclusion of adjunctive therapies (e.g., antivirals, anti-inflammatory agents, or metabolic interventions) in certain cases further supports a multi-factorial disease model.
In conclusion, this case series provides hypothesis-generating evidence that targeted, combination-based therapeutic approaches may offer clinical benefit in patients with suspected PSS. Nevertheless, well-designed prospective studies and randomized controlled trials are urgently needed to validate these findings, clarify mechanisms, and establish standardized, evidence-based treatment protocols for this emerging clinical entity.
