Re-posting at the request of an anon Patriot.
Here are the things anons have dug on that, based on preliminary research, seem to have some potential to reduce spike protein damage – either by protecting cells from the spikes, or by dissolving the spikes themselves.
A) SOURCES OF SHIKIMIC ACID (3)
- Pine needle tea
- Fennel tea (you know, the seeds they put in Italian sausage)
- Anise tea (the star-like things they use in Chinese cooking, taste like liquorice)
B) Bromelain (an extract made from pineapples) – often sold in 10mg tabs
C) Acetylcysteine (also called N-Acetylcysteine or NAC) – an amino acid often sold as 200mg tabs that the FDA suddenly wants to regulate now.
Academic research on why these things are thought to be effective against spike proteins:

I can't find NAC... Anyone know where its still available?
Iherb.com sells it and it's on the companies to support site last time I checked
if you are in North America, try GNC or a similar type of health supplement store. I am told there are some shops that have been slow to get the memo on NAC recently becoming regulated by the FDA.
In much of Asia and Africa, NAC is still sold over the counter. And it's dirt-cheap to boot. You can get 20 pills for one U.S. dollar in Thailand.
My local heath food store is out of stock. I even checked Amazon...
Wally World has it available online
Thanks
Funny that you should ask. A year ago I bought Quercetin (Jarrow) via Amazon and sold with it frequently was Zinc and NAC. I knew I needed Zinc too and after reading the N-A-C info, I was thinking, this will be good to have around too given the current crap happening. So... I bought it but never took it. Then when I saw NAC recommended elsewhere recently, I took the bottle to my mom and told her I'd order another. Just went to do that and it's no longer available on Amazon. Of course. Quercetin is still there, but not the NAC. I expect my local organic foods market will be able to get it. I was just trying to do it the fast way. We definitely are the news now because we can't get anything under the radar anymore it seems.
We are being systematically check mated at every turn. As soon as something is identified as being effective it gets put under tight control so it cannot be freely distributed.
