Spike Protein disease afflicts patients in many ways, including clotting disorders, cancer development, fatigue, and GI issues. In this installment, we discuss the cancer connection and best repurposed compounds and diet per Dr. Paul Marik to address this.
Let me begin with an illustrative case. Alice is a 58-year-old female who has been a picture of health most of her life. Lean and full of energy, she thought nothing of taking a 6-mile hike, and her bowels were regular, daily, and normal. She had no comorbid factors and required no medication. Her blood sugar and blood pressures were perfect. She rarely caught the flu or other illnesses and never noticed any shortness of breath or fatigue.
Alice contracted COVID-19 in the Fall of 2022. She awoke at 3:00 am with the sudden onset of a high fever, pounding heart, and a drenching sweat. A dose of Ivermectin slowed her heart rate to 110. Following this, she remained on a clear liquid diet and noticed ongoing gastro-intestinal upset with frequent diarrhea and intermittent abdominal pain.
At the emergency room, her D-Dimer was normal, as was her electrocardiogram and chest x-ray. She had a positive COVID immune assay. The ER physician recommended either Paxlovid or Monoclonal antibodies, which Alice declined.
She slowly improved after a period of anorexia and weight loss. However, her GI issues persisted, alternating between constipation and diarrhea. She experienced shingles. Alice seemed to get sick with the flu at least once a month, often following shopping trips. She experienced shortness of breath while walking upstairs. She often felt ill or under the weather to the point of having to lie down and rest. All of this was uncharacteristic.
She sought medical treatment and was diagnosed with Long COVID syndrome. Initially, she was treated with Ivermectin, followed by the addition of Vitamin D. Following Ivermectin doses, she initially improved with a day of increased energy, but invariably she felt sick the second day.
Alice continued to struggle until she saw Dr. Marik’s article on Repurposed Drugs for Spike Protein Disease. Following this, Alice added a few bites of daily Sauerkraut, which resulted in an immediate and sustained improvement in energy levels and bowel regularity.
She began taking daily ½ hour walks. However, she ran out of Sauerkraut and experienced a relapse. She added Kimchi and Kefir with renewed improvement.
She increased her daily walks to 45 minutes. Her shortness of breath improved by 95%. And now her bowel movements have nearly normalized. Why?
I asked Dr. Paul Marik this question, and his answer concerned how SARS-CoV-2 attacks the immune system, the mitochondria, and the GI tract. The studies are clear that the Spike Protein, an extremely toxic substance, damages the gut microbiome by killing normal bacteria and facilitates the growth of harmful organisms that break down the ordinarily tight intestinal junctions causing endotoxin to leak into the bloodstream, which increases inflammation and the risk for many diseases.
As discussed in Part I through Part III, the Spike Protein also inflicts damage to the delicate structures in the mitochondria, causing an increase in glycolysis – fermentation – and a decrease in the aerobic respiration via the Krebs Cycle, otherwise known as OXPHOS.
This results in a build-up of lactate, an increase in acidity, and a cancer-conducive environment. Indeed, Dr. Thomas Seyfried has made a strong case that cancer is much more a Metabolic Disease than a Gene-Based Disease, and Spike Protein illness and cancer share common mechanisms through mitochondrial damage.
It is fair to say that Alice’s shortness of breath was likely related to her damaged mitochondria and resulting compromised energy metabolism.
Unfortunately, due to increased systemic inflammation, she was also on the fast track to something worse, possibly cancer, if she did not take immediate corrective action.
Drs. Wong, Cao, and colleagues published a study that discussed the dysregulation of metabolism and the gut microbiome. They found “reliance on glycolysis but not mitochondrial respiration for energy production in circulating blood cells.”
They also found that the intestine is vulnerable to SARS-CoV-2 as it expresses ACE2. This viral binding site leads to “sustained metabolic damage to the gut microbiome and intestine function. Consistently, fecal microbiomes of COVID-19 patients were enriched with opportunistic pathogens like Clostridium ramosum and Clostridium hathewayi, which correlated with the severity of the SARS-CoV-2 infection. Meanwhile, (good bacteria) Faecalibacterium prausnitzii, Eubacterium rectale, and bifidobacterial were downregulated or even absent in COVID-19 patients.”
The researchers continued, “Imbalanced microecology promoted intestinal disease development, such as diarrhea and abdominal pain.” And this was associated with developing Long COVID Syndrome in more than half the patients studied. The scientists concluded that restoring the normal microbiome could alleviate the Long COVID Syndrome.
Drs. Marik and Lawrie note the potential for Spike Protein to cause gut dysbiosis, and they recommend probiotics like Sauerkraut and Kimchi. Sauerkraut is thinly sliced and fermented cabbage and contains Lactobacillus, a beneficial probiotic. Two tablespoons a day, or about 20 grams, is enough for most people to establish optimal colonies of good bacteria.
But reading about the other options, including Kimchi, Kefir, Kombucha, and Yogurt, is helpful.
Dr. Marik notes that Ivermectin can cause GI upset, so adding other anti-spike repurposed compounds like Vitamin D becomes even more critical. As discussed in Part III, exercise stimulates the immune system by elevating the numbers of NK and CD8+ T cells. If the activity, like walking, can be done outdoors and in bright sunlight, extra Vitamin D is added.
Foods and anti-inflammatory supplements can help combat the inflammation induced by the leaky gut. And it may be reassuring to notice more energy and less fatigue because these external improvements mirror the internal improvements in your body and should be reflected by lower CRP values.
I asked Dr. Marik about the optimal diet for someone who wanted to avoid Spike Protein Disease or Cancer. And he has just added this section to his 116-page Cancer Monograph. The diet is a particular form of Keto and contains many of the same items that the Stage 4 Cancer Survivors discussed earlier in this series used. However, with that said, the diet and repurposed compounds used to prevent cancer – Dr. Marik's recommended diet- is different from the diet employed to treat cancer described by Dr. Thomas Seyfried.
Dr. Marik’s recommended and ideal diet is one that I advise patients to use to lower their risk for Cancer, Spike Disease, and Insulin Resistance, and it is the one I have given Alice.
First and foremost, the ideal diet contains real food, not processed food. Dr. Marik explains,”If it comes in a box or carton, has a food label, and a long list of chemicals and additives, it is not food.”
Marik adds, “A real diet high in soluble and insoluble fiber and fermented foods is critical to normalizing the microbiome. Alterations in the microbiome are essential in both tumorigenesis and tumor propagation. Altered gut microbiota is associated with resistance to chemotherapeutic drugs while restoring a normal microbiome improves the response to anticancer drugs. (1-4) Antibiotics cause severe dysbiosis, associated with an increased risk of cancer and reduced response to chemotherapy. (5, 6)
Finally, Dr. Marik reveals his ideal diet.
