Emily, in someone who has long Covid and who suffers from palpitations (along with a myriad of other symptoms), do you think going to the Augmented NAC would be a better choice than the nicotine patch? I see that palpitations are a well-known side effect of the patches. Thanks!

Hi Ellen! In general, the Augmented NAC is a great way to go. There are trade-offs; cost being a big one for some people, and also just preference (plenty are open to a supplement who are wary of the patches). I have a client who has had palpitations since COVID, which are managed with homeopathy, but not yet cured. She tried the nicotine patches. They did not make the palpitations worse at all, but also didn't cure them. She still has not tried the ANAC, though we have discussed it, so I can't report on that, though I'd love to compare. (A lot of moms are quick to buy things for their kids and not so much for themselves!)

Thanks! I will discuss this with her and she can choose. Good to know the patch didn’t make the palpitations worse in your client.

Thank you, Emily, for the great info! I'm very interested in finding more information on Dr. Klinghardt's use of the nicotine patches for ADHD. Do you know where I can see this info? I went to his website, but can't seem to find more info on this specifically. Thank you so much!

Hi Catherine! The Klinghardt Institute (https://klinghardtinstitute.com/) hosts weekly webinars with different guests, sometimes Dr. Klinghardt himself. However, after the live presentation the recording is only available to watch for a week. So the information I shared is from listening to Dr. Klinghardt and my notes, but I can't provide a link. He noted that nictoine patches are wonderful, even in place of meds, for ADHD, Hyperactivity, and Autism. And can provide a lasting healing effect. He generally starts with 7mg, but I usually start with 3.5mg, as 7mg can make people sick. He says, yes, you may feel sick for a few days and then you increase to 14mg! But 14mg made me super sick. So we have to find that right level for each person. If it disrupts sleep (some get intense dreams), you can use it half the day instead of 24 hours. Some sleep better with it. It is also showing amazing effects for elderly with dementia. One friend of mine has her mom on the patches, and her mom is so much better on them that everyone comments on it. And every time she stops them her mom gets worse. So, using info from the doctor in the video above who studies nicotine and dementia, she gradually keeps upping the dose. In his studies the memory loss groups were up to 21mg patches daily over the course of a year. So they can be used in a variety of ways.

Emily, thank you so much for your response! I think I’m going to go ahead and try this to help with any shedding of the vaccine for the entire family, but after that I think I will continue with it for my 16-year-old son who has ADHD (without the hyperactivity). We’re also using the Banerji protocol for ADHD plus Tuberculinum 200 e14D. I think it’s helping but it’s hard to tell because we’re out of school right now. Do you know if the nicotine pouches like Alp are just as safe and effective as the patches?

I’m also thinking of trying the nicotine patches for my 82-year-old mom who has some mild age related cognitive decline . I’m excited!🙏🥰

I would look at the ingredients in the pouches, it looks to me like they might have quite a few other ingredients. I want the purest option, personally, no 'flavorings' or chemicals. Also, I don't know anyone yet (who is trying nicotine for these purposes, as a non-user in general) who hasn't gotten so sick using the oral route (gum etc) that they gave it up immediately. That's actually what made me hesitant to try it myself for so long-- memories of trying a little chewing tobacco in high school and nearly passing out. The skin patch is definitely a more slow and steady delivery system.

Thanks Emily! That makes so much sense. I have to laugh because I had a similar experience in high school. lol.😂

Wow! I just subscribed this was so great! I have been really frustrated this past year because none of the remedies that I’ve tried worked- lingering cough, aching bones and hips, low grade fever etc etc. And it lessens and then rolls back again. Neither my husband or I took the shot but we are obviously suffering from something interfering with healing. Thank you for the great info!

Such a great article with so much helpful information. Here is my question.

So if you get covid, is the spike protein now in you? Or is that just from the shots?

Hi Brenda! We have it from getting COVID too, I believe. Though I don't know how we'll test and prove it until there's an actual Spike Protein test. (Which the ANAC creators, with Mr. Zoffi, apparently have invented, though it's not widely available. And not an antibody test, but one for the actual Spike.) As noted in the article, my husband and I were never quite right after COVID, without any shots, until we used the products to clear it. Never have I seen a cold or flu have lasting symptoms so long (years!) that resisted homeopathy, and even worsened as time went on (for instance the pain that inexplicably became overwhelming just this year that was solved with the nicotine). This is the 'Long COVID' that so many are suffering from. This is what has been persisting for so many years. (Possibly made worse from shedding as well?!) It may not look as bad as for those who took the shots (for instance all the young people suddenly dying), but it's still there, and some of my clients have been majorly affected by this. However, if you are symptom free, then hallelujah!
