What causes COVID long haulers?

The main culprit is believed to be COVID’s genetic change to our production and utilization of NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide). NAD+ is involved in cell creation, maintenance, metabolism, and regulating cell processes. COVID can chronically increase the breakdown of NAD+ and simultaneously decrease the production of NAD+.

Ade added, “The biggest function of NAD+ is as a cofactor for energy(atp) production via the citric acid cycle. NAD+ is essential for carbohydrate metabolism. The brain being highly dependent on carbs.

COVID Long Haulers Syndrome is COVID Induced Secondary Pellagra (CISP). Pellagra causes a Niacin (B3) deficiency resulting in dysfunction of NAD+ production.

By treating the population for pellagra:
* many new COVID cases can be prevented (prophylactic)
* the severity and duration of COVID symptoms can be reduced
* COVID-long Haulers Syndrome can be treated

THE PROTOCOL: Niacin B3, Vitamin D, Vitamin C, Quercetin, Zinc, and Selenium.

bookmark_borderHow I Recovered From COVID-long Haulers Syndrome

COVID Long Haulers Syndrome is COVID Induced Secondary Pellagra (CISP). The research was developed by Dr. Ade Wentzel (Port Elizabeth, South Africa), Robert Miller (Cape Town) and Guy Richards (Johannesburg). COVID-19: NAD+ deficiency may predispose the aged, obese and type2 diabetics to mortality through its effect on SIRT1 activity.

This is not the first time the world has seen a pellagra epidemic. “In the early 1900s, pellagra reached epidemic proportions in the American South. Between 1906 and 1940 more than 3 million Americans were affected by pellagra with more than 100,000 deaths, yet the epidemic resolved itself right after dietary niacin fortification.” (Pellagra – Wikipedia) Pellagra was first identified among Spanish peasants by Don Gaspar Casal in 1735. Pellagra has sometimes been called the disease of the four D’s – dermatitis, diarrhoea, dementia, and death. Pellagra was in existence for nearly two centuries in Europe before being recognized in the United States, where it was first reported in 1902. Over the next two decades, pellagra occurred in epidemic proportions in the American South. By the time of the Mississippi flood in 1927, Dr Joseph Goldberger of the USPHS had conducted extensive research demonstrating that pellagra was caused by a nutritional deficiency (a lack of niacin, or vitamin B3). Goldberger advised the Red Cross to add brewer’s yeast to its food rations. Within weeks, people with pellagra were cured, and new cases of pellagra were prevented.

Here’s is what cured me:
Vitamin C, Quercetin and Selenium you can get from your diet. Careful not too much Selenium. I eat 1 Brazil nut a day. The Vitamin D is best gotten from 15 minutes a day in the sun. You can take 1000iu, too. A 15mg zinc/day supplement. The niacin is the trickiest and most important part. You need to make sure you get the right kind. Non-flush is no good. You can start with 35mg/day, but it will depend on your deficiency. I take 50-75mg with each meal. Here’s the walk through on getting the niacin right. It is recommended I stay on the protocol for 6 months. This is how Ade and Rob walk me through getting the correct Niacin B3.

NAD+ Plus Immune System Diet

COVID-19 Induced Secondary Pellagra (CISP) and the Coronavirus Cure

NAD+ Plus Immune System Diet: Onions, Dill, Brazil Nut, Peppers, Oranges, Beef, Chicken, Marine Organisms, Tap Water, and Sunlight

Boosting NAD+ is of particular importance when it comes to COVID-19. NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) is in every cell of your body. NAD+ is involved in cell creation, maintenance, metabolism, and regulating cell processes. COVID both increases the breakdown of NAD+ and decreases the production of NAD+. If you have suboptimal NAD+ prior to contracting COVID, the coronavirus is likely to make the symptoms more severe and persist longer in duration (resulting in death.) Boosting your NAD+ can help fight aging, hypertension, type 2 diabetes, COVID, and most other ailments and illness.

Water. Drinking water is rich in Zinc. Do not drink filtered water. Do not drink purified bottled water. Zinc is naturally present in water. The amount of Zinc in your water depends on the local geology and hydrologic cycle. “In natural surface waters, the concentration of zinc is usually below 10 µg/litre, and in groundwaters, 10–40 µg/litre. In tapwater, the zinc concentration can be much higher as a result of the leaching of zinc from piping and fittings.” — The WHO

Sunlight. 15 minutes of sunshine per day. 90% of your body’s Vitamin D comes from the photosynthesis of sunlight to the skin. UVB light causes a reaction resulting in Vitamin D and other photoproducts essential for a healthy immune system. WARNING: UVB can cause cancer.

COVID Long Haulers Syndrome is COVID Induced Secondary Pellagra (CISP).

By treating the population for pellagra:

  • new COVID cases can be prevented (prophylactic)
  • the severity and duration of COVID symptoms can be reduced (treatment)
  • COVID-long can be cured (cure)

THE PROTOCOL: Niacin B3, Vitamin D, Vitamin C, Quercetin, Zinc, and Selenium.

Dr. Ade Wentzel from Port Elizabeth (South Africa) and his colleagues, Robert Miller (Cape Town) and Guy Richards (Johannesburg), developed a diet based protocol based on their research COVID-19: NAD+ deficiency may predispose the aged, obese and type2 diabetics to mortality through its effect on SIRT1 activity.

Long haulers syndrome is the depletion of NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide). NAD+ is involved in cell creation, maintenance, metabolism, and regulating cell processes. COVID both increases the breakdown of NAD+ and decreases the production of NAD+. The result is the same as the disease pellagra. A niacin deficiency results in pellagra. Long haulers syndrome is COVID-19 Induced Secondary Pellagra (CISP).

COVID: The Cure?
Could Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) be both a prophylactic and a treatment for COVID-19?

COVID-19: NAD+ Protocol
NAD+ is a crucial part of the immune system. COVID depletes your NAD+. The body needs the time and materials necessary to replenish NAD+.
Included in the elements you need are Vitamin B3,
Vitamin D, Vitamin C, Quercetin,
Zinc, and Selenium.

COVID-19: Immunity, Antibodies, and Memory T Cells
Until more is known, recovered COVID patients should take great care and avoid exposure to all bacteria and viruses, including COVID.

COVID-19 and Negative Feedback Loops
The more often your body suffers damage, than the more severe each additional exposure will become.

COVID, Tryptophan, Stress, Anxiety, and Pellagra
COVID depletes your NAD+. The body depletes tryptophan trying to make NAD+. This causes anxiety.

COVID, Vitamin K, and NAD+
… low NAD+ will result in low Vitamin K metabolism interfering with blood thinner medications and blood coagulation.

COVID Long Haulers Syndrome: NAD+ Deficiency
Research by Ade Wentzel, Robert Miller, and Guy Richards has found COVID-long (Long Haulers Syndrome) is a result of an NAD+ deficiency caused by SARS-CoV-2 (novel coronavirus).


COVID: Vitamin D, Sunlight, the Season, and People of Color

A human’s main source of Vitamin D is the synthesis of UVB radiation through your skin. The chemical reaction creates Vitamin D and other photoproducts essential for a healthy immune system. Taking a Vitamin D supplement is NOT the same as your body making Vitamin D.

Window Sill Herb Garden

Growing some herbs on a window sill is a good way to keep eating healthy all year round. Garlic greens, chives, basil, aloe, parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme all grow well near a window with southern exposure. All of these herbs have great health benefits, too. Placing them on a window sill over a kitchen sink has several advantages, including ease of watering and convenience of cooking. Touching the plants has antibacterial qualities and helps prevent the spread of germs. Touching and harvesting the plants also helps release the scent aiding in aromatherapy. Putting herbs on your bedroom’s window sill will help purify and fortify the air, as well as, add humidity. (Keeping your mucous membranes moist is most important during the cold and flu season. Dusting the plants with your hands then misting the leaves with water help increase the health benefits.)
