It is no coincidence that smoking is considered substantially protective against parkinson's disease.
Nicotine also has great utility in Alzheimer's disease
The second therapeutic agent approaches the problem from a different angle:
Stimulating production of acetylcholine within the neuron itself.
Enter... Thiamine (Vitamin B1)
In many respects, thiamine is THE most important nutrient for the cholinergic system
Thiamine availability tracks closely with acetycholine production in neurons
Thiamine is needed to make the raw material
But aside from its metabolic role, thiamine is also involved in the release and utilization of ACh by neurons
High dose thiamine has put some patients with Parkinson's Disease into clinical remission, and is currently being trialled in Alzheimer's disease
I run a group on FB with over 11,000 members.
Many of them reversed long-COVID/post vaccine dysautonomia after my protocols which employ thiamine derivatives in high doses
Thiamine is my number 1 go-to therapy for ANY dysautonomia
The third intervention approaches the problem from yet another angle:
Cleaning up the mess caused by chronic neuroinflammation
Therapeutic agent #3 : Plasmalogens
In simple terms, plasmalogens are a specific type of lipid found in high concentrations in cell membrane
They can be depleted during states of inflammation.
They are being studied Alzheimer's disease and cognitive impairment
One theory states that under conditions of cholinergic impairment, cells may "autocanabilize" their own choline-plasmalogens to replenish choline
One thing is for sure...
Working via several different mechanisms, they can work wonders in any condition characterized by neuroinflammation.
In conclusion, this was a summary of my presentation on 3 therapeutic agents which can help to restore nervous system function in people suffering from post-COVID/vaccine dysautonomia
Rough dosage:
Thiamine (depending on the form used):
HCL form - 500-2000mg
TTFD - 200-500mg
Benfotiamine - 1,200-2000mg
Nicotine: It varies, but anywhere from 5mg-21mg patches, daily
Plasmalogens: Also varies on the form. Most people I know use marine-derived plasmalogens as low as 1-2mg per day. Other companies advocate for plasmalogen precursors, but have no experience with this so can't comment.

Mechanism behind thiamine's unique ability to reverse disease (even without a deficiency):
- Oxidative stress, inflammation, and toxins inactivate our cell machinery used to generate energy
- Sustained mega doses of B1 can re-activate these enzymes, restoring energy & function
The thiamine-dependent enzyme a-KGDH is extremely sensitive to oxidative stress and toxicity.
This is a RATE-LIMITING enzyme. When it becomes inactivated, mitochondrial energy metabolism shuts down.
This enzyme is decreased in a variety of neuro-degenerative conditions
Pharmacological doses of thiamine can "saturate" the enzyme, forcing it to start working and overcome the inactivation caused by toxins/oxidative stress/inflammation.
In this way, thiamine is being used pharmacologically.
Here are 5 nutritional supplements which can be effective for benzo withdrawal.
At the cellular level, withdrawal appears to involve:
- Structural changes in the GABA-a receptor
- Loss of sensitivity to GABA
- Rebound glutamate excitoxicity
Explanation in following tweets...
1) Agmatine is a metabolite of arginine which modulates NMDA receptor function.
A recent study on benzo withdrawal demonstrated:
-Significant reduction in symptom scores
- Increased GABA
- Lower glutamate
- Major improvement across the board
