Thanks for this, I learnt something new: mitochondrial respiration, and confirmed the treatment stuff I've seen elsewhere which is encouraging. Subbed thanks to eugypius' recommendation for this article.
Hello, I followed a medical guide (well-sourced, almost 300 articles cited) that sort of overlaps with your choices, it's good to know you prefer some of the same things. I only followed pages 4-5 on essential supplements, but the recovery was very fast, I think it might have worked.
This is solid. I leave some things like Colchicine off because side effects can be rough - I prefer Cyproheptadine to femotidine - but these are minor quibbles. I like that they include methylene blue, I think this is also a good option.
Awesome, thank you for the feedback, it's good to have a second (informed) opinion. We're all gonna make it haha. Stay safe, healthy and strong, cheers
Thank you for all of this. Any recommendations for pregnant women? I take zinc, vitamin D, eat well (no seed oils, no fortified flour, outside in the sun, etc.). I understand ivermectin isn't safe for pregnant women? I'd like to be prepared.
I wouldn’t say it’s unsafe exactly, more that it’s unclear - no specific studies done on pregnant women. Generally hydroxychloroquine is used instead of ivermectin. Regeneron probably a good idea in that case. Strains of Covid we’ve seen since July can be quite harsh for pregnant women so early antiviral treatment is important.
I saw you tweeted something about pregnant women needing to be careful around the vaccinated. Could you please expand upon that theory? Very interesting
Aside from spike shedding through exosomes...mostly because the strains the vaccinated tend to carry are the ones that are worse for pregnant women, while getting an infection from an unvaccinated person there's about a 50/50 chance that you instead end up with an older variant that doesn't pose enhanced risk in pregnancy.
It’s some great information. I was going to ask the same question about pregnant women. Ben would there be any issues with the non OTC’s in pregnancy? N-Acetyl-Cysteine, Aspirin, Quercetin, Melatonin &Black Seed Oil
As far as I'm aware, all of these are generally ok for pregnant women. If you're planning to take as a preventative, longterm quercetin/melatonin intake wouldn't be recommended but as far as an acute case the potential risks to mother or child by any of these medications is in my opinion heavily outweighed by the risk of the virus. I'm not sure what the mechanism is - Delta subvariants are generally not *that* much worse than OG Covid variants for most people - but they hit pregnant women much harder than prior strains. Around July I really started noticing this and it's gotten worse and worse. Vaccination doesn't appear to do much for them - I've seen vaccinated women lose babies or die just the same as unvaccinated, I can't really tell a difference.
Thanks for this list. I was wondering, given that you describe severe covid as hyperimmune response, if one takes additional immunoglobulins (as in colostrum) to boost immune system, is it possible that one is potentially setting oneself up for an adverse reaction or cykotine, if immunesystem becomes to "good" or active so to say (I have no medical training or knowledge as you can probably tell) do you know? thx
Sort of depends. Active immune response is good if early. The problem is if the immune system remains "asleep" until the virus replicates and builds up and then there is a ton of it when the immune system does wake up and then mounts a massive response. I think colostrum is good though because it contains lactoferrin, which binds the free iron.
hey thanks for response. so better to do colostrum continually before getting sick rather than in the midst I gather. any thoughts on echinacea being beneficial? and last question (sorry to inundate you with questions but have no one around I can ask these things) none of the items you list for the first phase rx i can get over the counter where i am, but for otc i can get aspirin and acetyl-cysteine. Should they then be adminstered at beginning of disease or first in immune response phase? thanks again
Before is best but also in first 5 days. Everything on the list can be taken at the beginning of the disease. Anything that would be for one phase in particular would be additional as recommended by doctor - mostly I just warn people to not take systemic steroids too early (budesonide is fine) or antivirals too late.
Doesn’t do much in the longterm for immunity and may even gear your immune system to have a suboptimal response in future Covid infections. Also carries significant risk of side effects.
Answer me this, my reactionary friend - if communism = USSR = abortion as a culture, why would the natalist west kill for dominant-cohort fertility like USSR 1986? You don't have an answer, because you're just the slighter smarter flavor of Murdoch tripe.
The abortion rates in the Soviet Union were the highest of any in the world *at that time*. By the end of the Brezhnev era, Soviet birthrates hovered just at or below replacement level except in the Muslim-majority Central Asian republics. The current Western system shares many parallels to late-stage USSR and may in fact be worse in certain respects. Russia in the 90s was even worse than in the 80s so it’s hardly an ideological phenomenon, but rather what happens to a late stage industrial society, whether it calls itself communist or capitalist.
Hello Mr. Braddock, thank you for the treatment run down.
I have a question about glycine in particular. My priest suffered a concussion a year ago and is bothered by constant migraines ever since. His doctor attributes the migraines to nerve damage. In reading about glycine, I noticed some reports of it helping with migraine pain, and that glycine is an important part of nerve cell creation.
Do you think glycine supplements could help him repair the nerve damage that he is suffering through?
I would definitely take glycine if I were in his position. I banished my own migraines with flush niacin (https://www.amazon.com/Bluebonnet-Niacin-Vegetable-Capsules-Count/dp/B000TAC8TW). Would consider Cyproheptadine if they persist - sometimes concussions can lead to diminished dopamine/excessive serotonin and cyproheptadine helps with that. Is sometimes prescribed for migraines but most doctors don't know about it because its an old drug that's out of patent and the pharmaceutical companies are constantly pushing newer compounds though they seem less effective.
Any clarity on ratio/relationship of Zinc and Copper depletion? If someone who gets covid is taking 60mg a day of Zinc, about how much Copper would be needed to offset any depletion?
Dr. Ben, do you make referrals? Would love to know if you had any like-minded colleagues in the New York area if someone was to try and pursue such treatment. I understand if this compromises any privacy concerns but just wanted to ask. Thank you for all that you do.
Thank you. Afraid I don't have any contacts in the NYC area aside from a cardiologist friend. You might try Push Health telemedicine service for prescriptions
T Detect ( https://www.t-detect.com ) is generally best test for immunity if it's been more than 3 months post-infection. Only accurate out to ten months though. I would get treatments to have on hand regardless. 2nd infections are rare but am starting to see this in healthcare workers.
Amazing, thanks. Meant to get to this sooner but had some other meds I had to finish with.
That said a couple Qs:
1. What time of day should I take this? (I ask because weirdly in my case essentially any dose of melatonin keeps me awake at night if I take it near bedtime)
2. Is the point of the niacin flush the flush itself? Or is that just a side byproduct? (I ask because I’m on naproxen and that looks to reduce flushing)
3. How long is this course of niacin and melatonin to be taken?
you are a darling! i didnt think my query went through. i tell you,man, your thread is the first i check daily. thank you for doing the lord's work! mucho appreciationo.
The only other thing I would add to this list is nasal rinsing, which is something I do even when I don't have a cold. I especially do it after an airplane flight or when I've been in a crowded public space to flush out potential viruses sitting in my nasal passages. I use the Neil-med sinus rinse bottle -- so much easier than the traditional netti pot.

It would be cool to know what you think about it, it's in English here : https://www.imuno-medica.ro/documente/COVID-19-Therapeutic-options.pdf
It comes from a Romanian clinic, but they published their guide in English too. Link to the original article if needed : https://www.imuno-medica.ro/cercetare-articole/COVID-19-Optiuni-terapeutice-pentru-fiecare-stadiu-al-bolii-18

Apparently you can shed spikes post-vaccination.
Not consistently vaccine-shedding specific, but there are some anecdotes here:

Just curious, why don't you like the vaccine as a preventative measure? I'm not very well informed either way and was just wondering.
Doesn’t do much in the longterm for immunity and may even gear your immune system to have a suboptimal response in future Covid infections. Also carries significant risk of side effects.

thanks, great info
how does this compare to the I-MASK protocol?
Similar in a lot of respects. I use their IVM dosing. Not sure why they exclude cyproheptadine though.
Dr. Ben, do you make referrals? Would love to know if you had any like-minded colleagues in the New York area if someone was to try and pursue such treatment. I understand if this compromises any privacy concerns but just wanted to ask. Thank you for all that you do.

I think I had Covid last year and am considering an anti-body test. Are they accurate? Thanks for this very helpful guide
T Detect ( https://www.t-detect.com ) is generally best test for immunity if it's been more than 3 months post-infection. Only accurate out to ten months though. I would get treatments to have on hand regardless. 2nd infections are rare but am starting to see this in healthcare workers.
(I was not tested at the time). Planning to load up on these treatment tools in case I need them, but if not necessary that would be better.
Hey Ben, thanks for putting this together. Any tips on beating post-covid effects?
Flush niacin (after taking 6mg of melatonin 15-20 minutes prior) does it for most people.
Amazing, thanks. Meant to get to this sooner but had some other meds I had to finish with.
That said a couple Qs:
1. What time of day should I take this? (I ask because weirdly in my case essentially any dose of melatonin keeps me awake at night if I take it near bedtime)
2. Is the point of the niacin flush the flush itself? Or is that just a side byproduct? (I ask because I’m on naproxen and that looks to reduce flushing)
3. How long is this course of niacin and melatonin to be taken?
Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family -
is that NAD? or similar?
It converts into NAD yes
you are a darling! i didnt think my query went through. i tell you,man, your thread is the first i check daily. thank you for doing the lord's work! mucho appreciationo.
Thank you, appreciate the kind words.
Any idea on obtaining ivermectin? Ever dealt with overseas stuff? In canada its unobtainable. Thank you for this article, its great. 🤙🏼🤙🏼
Farmacias del Nino if you can’t get a prescription.
It says on their site no shipping to canada. Any others you know of?
Maybe one of the suppliers on India Mart.
I got mine from a compounding pharmacy north of Toronto. Taking as a prophylaxis once a week as per FLCCC.
The only other thing I would add to this list is nasal rinsing, which is something I do even when I don't have a cold.
