The McCairn Protocol (Edogawa–McCairn Protocol): Overview and Mechanistic Rationale The McCairn Protocol (also referred to as the Edogawa–McCairn Protocol ) is an experimental, two-phase treatment approach promoted by Kevin McCairn in collaboration with Edogawa Hospital. It is primarily proposed for individuals with Long COVID and post-mRNA vaccine–associated syndromes , targeting hypothesized drivers such as persistent spike protein, amyloid-like fibrin microclots, autoantibodies, chronic inflammation, and associated vascular or neurological dysfunction. Phase 1: Double Filtration Plasmapheresis (DFPP) / Plasma Adsorption (“Cleansing”) Double Filtration Plasmapheresis (DFPP) is a specialized form of therapeutic apheresis currently used in parts of Asia, including Japan, for selected autoimmune, neurological, and metabolic conditions. Procedure Blood is withdrawn, often via a large-bore catheter (e.g., internal jugular access). It is passed through a dual-filtration syste...

More than four years after COVID-19 first appeared, many people still suffer from long-lasting symptoms after getting infected. This ongoing condition was often called 'Long COVID'. It means symptoms stick around for three months or more after the infection or after exposure to certain COVID-19 vaccines that use mRNA technology. 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 Sp...

Updates:  COVID-19 Vaccine Labels Updated With Expanded Warnings About Risk of Heart Inflammation (June 2025) COVID-19 Vaccine Myocarditis More Common and More Severe Than SARS-CoV-2 Infection Myocarditis: Landmark Study (2025) Stanford Study Pinpoints Cause of Vaccine-Linked Myocarditis and a Possible Fix (Dec 2025) Damage to the heart is more common than thought after receipt of Moderna’s COVID-19 booster, a  July 2023 study  indicates. One in 35 health care workers at a Swiss hospital had signs of heart injury associated with the vaccine, mRNA-1273, researchers found. “mRNA-1273 booster vaccination-associated elevation of markers of myocardial injury occurred in about one out of 35 persons (2.8%), a greater incidence than estimated in meta-analyses of hospitalized cases with myocarditis (estimated incidence 0.0035%) after the second vaccination,” the researchers wrote in the paper, published by the European Journal of Heart Failure. In a generally healthy population...
