Sindrome da persistenza della proteina Spike

Sindrome da persistenza della proteina Spike

Rapida risoluzione con irradiazione ultravioletta del sangue

Rapporto di Fabrice Leu, ND e Thomas E. Levy, MD, JD

OMNS (September 27, 2023) This article will outline what appears to be a highly successful, readily accessible, and inexpensive therapy for dealing with the Persistent Spike Protein Syndrome, commonly referred to as chronic COVID or « long-haul » COVID, as applied and reported by Dr. Fabrice Leu of Switzerland. Long-term follow-up on the treated patients remains to be accumulated to determine whether the positive clinical and laboratory outcomes are temporary or permanent. Regardless, the therapy can be applied in minutes in the office setting, and even if there is a periodic resurgence/recurrence of spike protein in any of the patients it can be repeatedly addressed as needed. This therapy can offer a great deal of relief to millions of people continuing to suffer with the symptoms of persistent spike protein after their acute COVID infections and/or following one or more vaccinations. Whether the spike protein can ever be completely eradicated (versus just chronically suppressed) remains an issue of great concern to clinicians and their patients.

Research is now showing that the spike protein can become effectively « embedded » into the genome. [1,2] Riferiscono il rilevamento di Spike nel sangue di alcune persone vaccinate fino a sei mesi. [3]

Secondo l’articolo, la scomparsa dalla circolazione non implica necessariamente l’eliminazione completa dall’organismo.

Breve storia dell’irradiazione UV

Niels Finsen, medico danese, ricevette nel 1903 il Nobel per la fisiologia o medicina per il lavoro pionieristico sulla fototerapia delle malattie cutanee. Dopo aver studiato gli effetti della luce solare su insetti e animali, si concentrò sugli ultravioletti. Un collega soffriva di lupus vulgaris, causato dallo stesso batterio della tubercolosi polmonare, resistente ai trattamenti del tempo. Finsen osservò un rapido miglioramento irradiando le aree colpite. L’arrivo degli antibiotici mise in secondo piano l’approccio, ma il suo lavoro contribuì agli studi sulla sterilizzazione UV. La capacità degli UV di inattivare o distruggere patogeni, anche nella disinfezione dell’aria, è oggi ben stabilita. [4-7] Anche l’agente responsabile della COVID può essere inattivato dagli UV. [8]

L’articolo sostiene che l’irradiazione UV del sangue possa risolvere rapidamente varie infezioni. Cita una serie di 47 pazienti con poliomielite spinale da iniziale a moderata, descritti come tutti guariti con il solo trattamento.

Altre infezioni e condizioni, comprese epatiti virali acute e sepsi avanzate, sono descritte come guarite o nettamente migliorate. [9,10]

D-dimero e persistenza della proteina Spike

Gli autori collegano la persistenza di Spike dopo COVID o vaccinazione a D-dimeri elevati. Il D-dimero deriva dalla degradazione dei coaguli; un aumento può indicare un’attività maggiore di formazione e dissoluzione dei coaguli. [11] Secondo gli autori, un valore normale non esclude Spike, mentre una nuova elevazione ne sarebbe un indicatore in pazienti infettati o vaccinati. Citano autopsie che riportano microtrombi nell’80–100% dei pazienti COVID. [12] L’articolo riferisce D-dimeri quasi sempre elevati nei pazienti COVID e risultati peggiori associati ai livelli maggiori. [13,14] Uno studio prospettico citato osservò l’aumento in 137 pazienti consecutivi, correlato alla gravità clinica dell’infezione. [15] Dopo la fase acuta è stata riferita una persistenza della proteina per diversi mesi. [16]

Spike è descritta come direttamente coinvolta nell’aumento della formazione di coaguli. [17,18] Gli autori ritengono che non si possa parlare di controllo o eliminazione finché i D-dimeri rimangono elevati.

La persistenza di D-dimeri elevati indica una formazione e dissoluzione anomala di coaguli ed è associata a maggiore mortalità. Gli autori considerano sia malattie trombogene sia la persistenza di Spike dopo infezione o vaccinazione. [19-21] L’articolo propone il D-dimero, più accessibile del dosaggio di Spike, come indicatore indiretto della sua presenza nel sangue. Per gli autori, la normalizzazione suggerirebbe eliminazione o forte riduzione della proteina circolante. Un’analisi della patologia e delle terapie bio-ossidative era già stata pubblicata. [22]

Continuing research on COVID, vaccination status, and the Persistent Spike Protein Syndrome is now demonstrating that many, possibly a majority, of the sickest chronic COVID patients also received vaccinations. This should not be surprising, since the culprit agent in those ill individuals is the spike protein, and the purported mechanism of the shot is to disseminate mRNA-generated spike protein throughout the body in order to stimulate an immune response to the pathogen containing the spike protein.

Regardless of any generated immune response, the spike protein has its own well-documented toxicity, and continued spike protein production long after such an initial response to an mRNA vaccine is resulting in a wide range of chronic diseases and medical conditions. Spike protein toxicity is well-documented now in both human and animal studies.

Anche i frammenti della proteina Spike sono descritti come tossici e fortemente patogeni. [23-25]

Gli autori ricordano che tossicità e patogenicità delle proteine Spike del SARS-CoV erano studiate prima della pandemia. [26,27] Citano uno studio animale nel quale un vaccino che esprimeva una proteina Spike del SARS-CoV non proteggeva dall’agente bersaglio e provocava infiammazione con necrosi epatica. Gli animali esposti ma non vaccinati non presentavano sintomi clinici. Gli autori si interrogano sul ruolo fisiologico del vaccino in quell’esperimento. [28]

L’articolo afferma che le iniezioni prima o dopo la COVID aumentano Spike, talvolta a lungo, e che le cellule che hanno assimilato l’mRNA potrebbero continuare a produrla per un tempo indefinito. [29,30] Uno studio citato riferisce che il 12% dei 720 soggetti che ricevettero un vaccino produttore di Spike presentò rapidamente D-dimeri elevati. [31] Inducing an abnormal clotting status in any patient at any time is never desirable and should not be part of any « normal » vaccination response.

UV Blood Irradiation and COVID-Related Elevated D-Dimer levels

Patients with the symptoms of chronic COVID and having elevated D-Dimer levels were treated with a protocol of UV blood irradiation. These chronic COVID patients, clinically felt to have the persistent presence of the spike protein in their blood and elsewhere, had any of the multiple symptoms commonly reported now, including cognitive and mental impairment, pain in the chest, joints, and muscles, loss or alteration of smell and taste, cough, headache, and various gastrointestinal problems. [32]

Fu utilizzato un apparecchio Kastner per l’irradiazione UV del sangue. [33] L’apparecchio emette UV-C a 254 nm, lunghezza d’onda descritta come particolarmente assorbita dalle proteine estranee, provocandone la denaturazione. [34,35] Gli UV-C alterano anche RNA e DNA, inattivando i patogeni. L’articolo indica che batteri e virus assorbono circa cinque volte più energia fotonica dei globuli rossi e bianchi circolanti.

Gli autori citano studi sulla destrutturazione di Spike tramite UV-C e sulla riduzione del legame con il recettore ACE2, meccanismo collegato da loro a coagulazione e danni tissutali e d’organo. [36,37]

Patients with a D-Dimer level in excess of 500 ng/cc (or 0.5 mg/L) were included in the treatment group. The goal, in addition to symptom relief, was to bring the D-Dimer levels to less than 500, the level considered to be normal. However, it should be noted that having a D-Dimer level between 200 and 300 is more desirable than « just below » 500. A laboratory reference range, or « normal » range is based on statistical considerations that assume normalcy in most of the tested patients. Such a range fails miserably when a substantial percentage of the tested population is not normal.

Irradiazione UV-C, passaggio singolo: Il protocollo descritto utilizzava 50 cc di sangue venoso e 5 cc di citrato di sodio in una siringa da 60 cc, con un passaggio nell’apparecchio UV-C. Il sangue era poi restituito per via venosa a circa 1 cc ogni tre secondi. Il consueto tubo di cristallo trasparente era stato sostituito da una linea ASID di 75 cm, meno costosa. Dimostrazione video: https://rumble.com/v3i5kd8-ultraviolet-blood-irradiation-1-pass.html.

Irradiazione UV-C a passaggi multipli con ossigeno: Some of the patients also received hematogenic oxygen therapy (HOT) before the UV-C irradiation treatment of the blood. This utilizes one 60 cc syringe filled with oxygen gas connected to one end of the ASID line inside the UV-C device. The other end is connected to another 60 cc syringe with 50 cc of venous blood and 5 cc of sodium citrate. Once both ends of the ASID line are connected to their respective syringes, the contents of the oxygen syringe and the blood syringe are pushed back-and-forth in a « ping-pong » fashion through the irradiated ASID line for roughly 150 seconds. Significant foaming will be noted. The remaining non-foamed blood is then administered back to the patient intravenously.

Another video more clearly demonstrates the « ping-pong » aspect of this technique: https://rumble.com/v3j379q-dubai-practitionner.html

Risultati clinici e di laboratorio

Non si trattava di uno studio ampio e rigorosamente controllato. Gli autori giudicarono comunque i risultati notevoli. Dieci pazienti ricevettero un passaggio UV-C oppure passaggi multipli con 60 cc di ossigeno nel circuito chiuso prima della restituzione del sangue.

Due pazienti ricevettero soltanto un passaggio UV-C. One was 74-years-old who received 4 UV-C one pass treatments over a 4-month period. The D-Dimer improved but did not normalize, going from 863 to 741.

The other patient was a 20-year-old male serving in the Swiss military. He had never been vaccinated. The military required COVID testing routinely every few weeks. He had developed significant pressure in his head for one to two weeks before being seen. As was required on a regular basis in the military, he had a COVID test which came back positive. He received a one pass UV-C treatment, and this was repeated 2 weeks later. His head discomfort resolved, and his D-Dimer went from slightly elevated at 519 to normal at 382. This patient alone not only demonstrates the effectiveness of UV-C blood irradiation, it also strongly implies that the circulating spike protein might be completely eliminated quite easily when such a therapy is given early-on.

Otto pazienti ricevettero passaggi multipli UV-C associati a HOT: 3 patients, ages ranging from 65 to 89 were treated. One (65-years-old) had an initial D-Dimer of 2,976. After two treatments separated by a 6-week period the D-Dimer level had dropped to 591. A 58-year-old who presented with a D-Dimer of 1,121 was given two treatments over a 1-week period. The D-Dimer level plummeted to 310. The 89-year-old had a very impressive result, with an initial D-Dimer of 1,996 dropping to 357 with 2 treatments given over a 6-week period.

5 more patients, ages ranging from 40 to 73, presented with symptoms of chronic COVID. 4 of 5 were treated with a single UV-C multi-pass + HOT therapy. No follow-up treatments were given, as these individuals felt well and did not feel the need to return for more treatment or follow-up testing. As a result no follow-up D-Dimer test could be done. The 40-year-old ended up receiving 2 treatments, and did not return after that. Initial D-Dimer levels ranged from 571 to 1,002. While yet to be precisely defined, such positive clinical responses appear to closely correlate with a declining/normalizing D-Dimer level.

Exceptional Safety

Ultraviolet blood irradiation has an impressive track record of safety over the many years of its application as a therapy. However, it is essential that the therapy be applied as recommended and not be « overdosed » as can occur with virtually any therapeutic agent or medicine. UV irradiation at the wavelength described in this article has been shown to be preferentially absorbed into the nucleic acid of the pathogens that are present while leaving the blood proteins unharmed. Because of this safety profile and pathogen-killing effectiveness, such UV irradiation is commonly used for reducing the infectivity of pathogens in plasma and other blood components harvested for subsequent administration in both animals and humans. [38,39]

L’irradiazione UV del sangue intero con riboflavina è descritta come capace di ridurre fortemente l’infettività di Plasmodium falciparum (agente della malaria), senza emolisi significativa. [40] Un altro studio citato riferisce una forte riduzione dei patogeni senza danni significativi ai globuli rossi. [41] Pur aumentando lo stress ossidativo nei patogeni, secondo l’articolo gli UV aumenterebbero la capacità antiossidante dell’albumina, principale proteina del sangue. [42]

Gli autori distinguono l’irradiazione del sangue dall’esposizione diretta della pelle agli UV. Come per una scottatura solare, diverse lunghezze d’onda possono danneggiare la pelle se eccessive. [43] Sottolineano l’importanza della quantità totale e della velocità di somministrazione. Una stessa energia può avere effetti diversi secondo l’applicazione; ricordano gli usi controllati degli UV in dermatologia. [44]

Secondo la testimonianza citata, nessun effetto negativo significativo fu osservato fra oltre 1'000 pazienti trattati alla Riordan Clinic di Wichita, Kansas. [45]

Il protocollo della clinica preleva 60–300 cc di sangue, li diluisce in un volume più volte maggiore di soluzione fisiologica e li ozonizza fuori dal corpo. La soluzione viene reinfusa in 30–90 minuti attraverso una linea nell’apparecchio UV. Segue una perfusione di vitamina C, generalmente 50 g. Sono citate anche pubblicazioni russe con rari effetti avversi lievi e transitori. [46] Also, there is a substantial variation among irradiation device wavelengths and the treatment protocols being utilized around the world. Nevertheless, it appears that regardless of wavelength and protocol, UV blood irradiation is an exceptionally safe and effective procedure.

Beyond its ability to kill pathogens and neutralize toxins, UV blood irradiation has been documented to result in many different positive biochemical, clinical, and metabolic changes in the treated patients. These changes have been examined in depth in review articles. [9,47]

Conclusions

The application of UV irradiation has been known to be a powerful anti-pathogen therapy for well over a century. It has been proven to be highly effective for external disinfection as well as for internal infection remediation. It remains incredibly underutilized around the world, likely due to lack of awareness along with the continuous pressure to use only costly pharmacological agents for just about everything.

A causa di quella che descrivono come diffusione mondiale di Spike, gli autori propongono di dosare inizialmente i D-dimeri in ogni paziente con qualsiasi sintomo o condizione.

Ritengono che la persistenza di Spike possa imitare o aggravare numerose condizioni e che un risultato positivo richieda un intervento urgente, as delay will give any circulating spike protein an increased chance of becoming embedded inside the cells and tissues, with a persistent presence that can last for the life of the patient. Spike protein is most susceptible to destruction and elimination while in the blood.

A serie di trattamenti UV potrebbe migliorare i risultati nei pazienti con D-dimeri elevati attribuiti a Spike circolante.

Gli autori sperano che questa osservazione pilota stimoli nuove ricerche cliniche sull’irradiazione UV del sangue come terapia bio-ossidativa per infezioni, compresa la COVID, e altre condizioni.

Rimandano a rassegne sulle condizioni non infettive trattate con questa metodica nella letteratura precedente agli antibiotici. [9,10,48]

Recap

The COVID-related spike protein is currently a major cause for much of the morbidity and mortality around the world today. It can be present when an acute COVID infection does not completely resolve but instead evolves into chronicity. Vaccines, as they are designed to introduce more spike protein into the body, make it even harder to obliterate or even minimize the long-term spike protein content in the blood. It is also increasingly clear that many people can acquire a significant spike protein exposure through shedding, or casual contact with someone else harboring the spike protein. This literally puts everyone at some risk, and D-Dimer simply must become a test as routine as glucose, cholesterol, or hemoglobin.

While a wide array of therapies and supplements have been proposed to deal with the Persistent Spike Protein Syndrome, many do not result in a high degree of clinical resolution. Bio-oxidative therapies, including vitamin C, hydrogen peroxide, ultraviolet light, ozone, and hyperbaric oxygen are all very valuable in treating such patients.

This paper reports on a limited experience with UV blood irradiation therapies for the treatment of symptomatic patients with elevated D-Dimer levels. In the context of the pandemic, it appears that the unique thrombogenic nature of the spike protein reliably results in elevations of these levels. No matter how minimal a symptom might seem, an elevated D-Dimer mandates immediate and vigorous therapy. With its documented ability to denaturare ed eliminare Spike, il costo e la semplicità di somministrazione, propongono l’impiego precoce degli UV quando disponibili.
