    I’m very interested in this topic too. Dr. Peter McCullough recently stated on “X” that they are seeing some promising results with nicotine patches. There is a very good podcast episode on “You’re The Cure” with Dr. Ben Edwards and Dr. Bryan Ardis. Oct. 23, 2023. Dr. Edwards is a well known and respected Functional Medicine M.D. in my town. And of course Dr. McCullough is extremely well known and respected world wide. I am curious about this because I’m starting to have more & more clients come in with Long Covid or jab injury type symptoms. I first heard about the helpfulness of nicotine back in 2020!! But the discussion got shot down pretty quickly. However, I believe there are many peer reviewed research articles that support the efficacy of nicotine patches for helping to clear spike.

    I have also had two people respond well to using nicotine patches! My friends 84 year old Mom was very sick with JN1, her youngest son talked her out of using ivermectin, but she used 7 mg patches and was almost 100% by day 3. Another friend that has Lyme also used them on day 6, she had a terrible back ache and by the next afternoon she was much better with no back ache and started ivermectin we brought her. I intend to use them if I get covid again to test on myself. I have found YouTube testimonials, Facebook and Twitter as well of long covid and long Vax patients seeing positive results. As with anything, it depends on the person’s body.

    Thanks Stephanie! It’s great to hear about some success stories with the patches!

    I’d like to link this discussion to the 2024 talk https://imahealth.org/courses/conference-2024/lessons/emerging-neurological-disorders-a-path-to-solutions/ which talks about nicotine.

    I’d also like to add that the talk did not mention something that I have noticed with an ayurvedic medicine known as Celastrus Paniculatus. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Celastrus_paniculatus “Celastrus paniculatus is a woody liana commonly known as black oil plant, climbing staff tree, and intellect tree”

    It is believed to be active on the acetylcholine pathway. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/20645820/ “The study reveals that the aqueous extract of Celastrus paniculatus seed has dose-dependent cholinergic activity, thereby improving memory performance. The mechanism by which Celastrus paniculatus enhances cognition may be due to increased acetylcholine level in rat brain.”

    https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8730822/ “Implementation of Indian herbs and herbal formulations such as Brahmi (B. monnieri), Shankhpushpi (Convolvulus prostratus Forssk.), Giloy (T. cordifolia), Malkangni (Celastrus paniculatus Willd.), Tulsi (O. tenuiflorum), Ashwagandha (W. somnifera) etc. can help managing psychological post-COVID conditions.”

      What I’m suggesting is that it doesn’t appear anyone has studied the potential for use of celastrus paniculatus in spike protein related neurological symptoms. My hope is by highlighting it here someone in into this area of research might give it a try. It’s not a very well-known plant in the west.
