​Healing Therapies for Long Covid, Published by Inner Traditions / Healing Arts Press.  May 2023
An Integrative and Intuitive Guide to Recovering from Post-Acute Covid (PASC)
By VIR McCOY
​
Develop your own unique healing protocol for Long Covid
  • Discusses how to deal with the primary symptoms of Long Covid, from brain fog and lingering cough to emotional disorders and intolerance to certain foods
  • Presents remedies and methods ranging from pharmaceutical, herbal, and homeopathic remedies to breathwork practices, detox therapies, lymph drainage exercises, shamanic techniques, and self-healing meditations
  • Explores the energetic components of Covid, the gut issues it can cause that often hinder treatment, and how to deal with adverse reactions from vaccines
    In December of 2020, Vir McCoy contracted Covid-19, which then developed into Post-Acute Sequelae Covid (PASC), commonly known as Long Covid or Long-Haul Covid. Drawing on his journey to heal his chronic Lyme disease years earlier, McCoy began listening to his intuitive and sensory impressions about the nature of Covid and why he had become chronically ill. In this guide, he explains how he integrated his intuitive impressions with extensive scientific evidence to develop his own healing protocol for successful recovery from Long Covid.
    The author discusses the primary symptoms of Long Covid and outlines the basic steps for dealing with each of them, from brain fog, loss of smell, lethargy, and tin- nitus to debilitating headaches, sleeplessness, lingering cough, emotional disorders, and intolerance to certain foods. Backed up by more than 350 scientific references, he presents remedies and methods for healing Long Covid and increasing immunity, ranging from pharmaceutical, herbal, and homeopathic remedies to breathwork practices, detox therapies, lymph drainage exercises, shamanic techniques, and meditations for calming the limbic system and the PTSD that can accompany chronic illness.
    Exploring the energetic components of Covid and the gut issues it can cause that often hinder treatment, McCoy explains how to cultivate the fire in the belly necessary to keep up your spirits and burn out the disease. He also explores how to incorporate intuitive therapies with medical treatments and other healing strategies.
    Presenting not only a profound healing protocol but also guidance to discover your own unique remedies, this guide reveals how the “disease” may be teaching us some- thing greater: a way to reclaim our power.
    Vir McCoy is a teacher, healer, musician, and ecologist who works both as a body- work healer and as a field biologist and botanist focusing on endangered species. The author of Liberating Yourself from Lyme, he lives in Los Angeles, California

     
LONG COVID SIMPLE PROTOCOL – Jan 2023
-Vir McCoy
From the Book “Healing Therapies For Long Covid”,  Inner Traditions 2023
 
SCENARIO
 
Long Haul COVID is a disease of vascular and neural inflammation caused by initial viral damage and lingering spike proteins (viral debris) - from Covid or the Vaccine 1, 2   (Patterson et al. 2021, 2022). Lingering spike proteins  can cause an auto or idio antibody response, (immune malfunction), an allergic (Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS) response, flare up of other bugs (Herpes family, Parasites, Molds, EBV, Lyme etc.). The corresponding inflammation and histamine all leads to various neurological and vascular damage and symptoms as headaches, fatigue, blood clots, hormonal disruption ,mitochondrial imbalances , burning sensations,  Lymphatic congestion,  organ damage, mental instability and many more unusual and strange symptoms.

GOALS
1. Dissolve the spike proteins and/ or block them at receptor sitesImmune modulation
2. Calm down / Modulate the overactive immune system   
3. Limbic reset.  Using  neuroplasticity retraining and dissacociative methods to get out of the PTSD in the brain.
4.  Get gut biome in top shape and heal the gut lining.
5.  Decrease inflammation: put the fire out 
6. Decrease histamine and Mast Cells
7. Eradicate any lingering Covid or other viruses, bacteria, molds and parasites that have flared up. 
8.  Lymphatic drainage and detoxification.
 
DAILY ACTIONS
 
  1. REST.  As much rest and relaxation as you can get.  More than you think you would need. Take a sabbatical.  Listen to calming music or soothing nature sounds often. Lower stress.
 
  1. WATER and DRINKS
  • Drink as much water as you can every day. Good spring water best. 
  • Drink lots of bubbly waters and mineral waters  for carbon dioxide, club soda etc. Non sugar Sodas like Zevia with caffeine (helps headaches). Occasional Coca Cola (see below). CO2 stimulates the vagus nerve.
  • Ice and Cold Water.  Put ice in every drink you make.  Smoothies and Ice Cream.
  • Get in cold water: Rivers, oceans, baths and ice water or cold showers. Ice back of neck and head. For Inflammation.
 
  1. BREATHWORK.  
  • Calming breath: Breathe in through nose at 4 counts, exhale 6 counts in the morning.  Before bed inhale 4 counts, hold 4 counts, exhale 4 counts.  
  • Increase C02 to stimulate the Vagus nerve for calming down with slow exhalations, holding the breath, or breathing into a paper bag for a few minuites
  • Do breath of fire through the nose at least once a day -short quick breaths. This increases alkalinity and oxygen.  
  • Chi Kung breathing exercise scooping heaven/ scooping earth energy
  • See my Fire Love breathing exercises. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eR2IWUoFJLY&t=48s
  • Wim Hoff, Buteyko and other breathwork modalities.
 
  1. MEDITATIONS.  
  • Get into a quiet space and do some deep breathing. Listen to some gentle water sounds. Imagine a cool crystal deep calm lake with icy mountain peaks around the pool.  Cooling icy calm.  Breathe into the stillness. Bring that coolness in and calm and soften the brain. Imagine the water gently washing, calming and cooling your brain and inflammation. Imagine a gentle stream of water clearing out any debris  through you into the earth.  Imagine a cobalt blue light in your brain continuing a peaceful calming energy. 
  • Lie down and get comfortable. Begin deep breathing. Get into a loving space by thinking about the things you love:  Rivers, oceans, mom, a pet, Jesus, music etc. and generate the feeling of love.  Then with that feeling of love hold the painful areas like a baby.  Pour out all your love to the pain. Look closely with your sensory perception or intuition.  What’s it need? What’s the matter?  Listen for intuitive clues for remedies and body needs. 
  • Get into a quiet space and do some deep breathing.  Think about the things you love, to generate the feeling of love. Now Imagine your army of Immune cells and specifically the cells that have gone rogue or confused (monocytes).  Imagine Holding them like little babies, send them love, sing them lullabies and instruct them to calm down and relax and stop the attack, that everything is O.K now.  With a loving feeling ask them and show them to completely and thoroughly digest the spike proteins and flush them out of the body.  Deep breaths.  Thank your immune army for doing its job. 
  • Get into a quiet space and think about the things you love, to generate the feeling of love.  Tap in to that part of yourself that is not sick, the part of you that is far greater than any virus or bacteria.   Now take your love and send love to the spike proteins or corona virus. Hold it like a baby and pour out your love.  See your love melting the disease.  Imagine any leftover proteins dissolving in golden light and being digested.  Imagine a cobalt blue cooling everything off.
  • See methods like the NRDS, The Gupta Program, and other neuroplasticity retraining programs. 
 
  1. FASTING
Fasting increases autophagy 
  • Intermittent fasting (eating between 1pm and 6 or from 9am to 3pm)
  • Longer fasts: Try 24 ,48, 72 hour or longer water fasts or a day of dry fasting (with supervision)
 
  1. EXERCISE.
Do gentle exercises only. Nothing too strenuous at first (Don’t break a sweat). Cardiovascular exercise can exacerbate symptoms and trigger inflammation 25.  Try walking, Yoga, Headstands (Get blood in brain), bouncing on a trampoline (for lymph), Lift weights (more space between sets).  Chi Kung, Tai Chi.   Try Cryo and sauna sweat alternates.  You can try running later or “titrate” up exercise to your threshold.
 
  1. OTHER important lifestyle changes:
 
  • Get Lymphatic massage once a week
  • Cultivate positive mental discipline, focus
  • Create healthy belief statements.  “I am powerful beyond measure” ,”  I am the powerful presence of love at all times, burning all disease in my body”
  • Neuroplasticity Retraining Programs (I did Gupta)
  • Cultivate Gratitude, Forgiveness, Offerings to the Earth
  • Stay anchored in love. Melt the disease in love 
  • Get a fire in your belly going to burn out disease.  Become a warrior.  
  • Take the power back. Don’t give your power away to COVID.  Don’t obsess on it.  Watch out for victim mentality
  • Prayer and asking for help.
  • Find a good Integrative or Functional Medicine Doctor or Doctor of Chinese Medicine and/ or a good herbalist or homeopath
·      Detox: Sauna for sweat and Lymphatic movement
·      Less screen time and Electromagnetic pollution (EMF)
·      Remove and treat for mold
·      Develop your medical intuition.
·      Do what you love
 
 
  1. LOW INFLAMMATION / ANTIHISTAMINE / KETOGENIC DIET
 
  • Typically an overload of histamine from Mast cells occurs, and you may begin reacting to certain foods and medicines.   A low histamine diet becomes very important as does a ketogenic diet, to increase ketosis and burning of fats (where the spike proteins like to hide)
  •  In general abstain from sugars, gluten, ferments, smoked meats (sardines, salmon, salami), nightshades, alcohol (see below), citrus and chocolate.  You will need to see what foods specifically effect you.  Make a food diary.   Here’s a list of histamine foods to start: https://www.histamineintolerance.org.uk/about/the-food-diary/the-food-list/
  • MAST cell activation syndrome is activated by molds that have flared up.
 
MOST IMPORTANT FOODS TO EAT  (This was for my body, yours may react different- Be careful of histamine reactions.  See website www.mastcell360.com

Notes:
 
Simplify your protocol.  A hodgepodge of pills may work against you.
Everyone is different, find what works for your body - build your intuition and gut sense.
Be very careful with some combinations especially SSRIs - do your research
Some meds and foods will cause a histamine reaction.  Keep a food and medicine diary
If you can combine things it is helpful.  Make your own medicines,  like Apple and Onion to make quercetin.  
Become your own medical intuitive, I can teach you how
 
QUOTES
Surrender the flesh to divinity.  The resistance makes it worse. 
Transcend the illness 
Melt the Disease in Love
More self love is more boundaries 
Create A relaxed vigilance 
Keep your heart open you will heal faster
