If it is related to the vaccine or covid, it is likely an autoimmune (inflammatory) response. All of the things I list here will work together great to reduce inflammation, as well as some of them being anti-spike protein (which may be part of the problem). At the least, they aren't going to hurt. Just like everything else, don't over do anything. Recommended dosages are fine for all of these. Some you can go over (vitamin C, Cod liver Oil, maybe Ivermectin) but in general, just follow the bottle.
In addition to taking these supplements, avoid inflammatory foods (like dairy or red meats). Have her eat things like fish (salmon with skin is great), broccoli, kale, olive oil, avocado oil, blueberries, walnuts, etc.
Such a diet doesn't have to be forever. You don't need to avoid heavy omega-6 fatty acid food all the time (dairy and red meat), but in such a situation it is best to lay off for a while.
Red meats are heavy in omega-6 fatty acids, of which we get a ton already in our diets. Omega-6 fatty acids ("n-6" such as arachidonic acid (ARA)) are highly prevalent in our diet and are pro-inflammatory precursor molecules. Omega-3 fatty acids ("n-3, such as EPA, or DHA) are anti-inflammatory precursors. While both are necessary for proper function, normal American diets do not include enough of the n-3 but do include high concentration of n-6. These molecules are stored in our cell membranes. It is reasonable to assume that decreasing the concentration of pro-inflammatory to anti-inflammatory precursors in our bodies through a focused diet (for a time) will bring a potentially more proper balance to these competing forces.
At no point did I suggest removing red meat from this persons diet on a permanent basis, in fact I explicitly stated the opposite. I am suggesting increasing the ratio of fatty acids by adding foods high in n-3 and decreasing foods high in n-6 would be beneficial under circumstances where a reduction in inflammation is desired. Am I 100% sure about this? No, and indeed there is controversy on exactly what the proper balance is in n-6 v. n-3, but the evidence does suggest that this is a sound path to a reduction in inflammatory response.
In addition to that though, reducing the protein load on the kidney's may also be beneficial during this time; thus the reduction in meat consumption in general. I would not recommend a no protein diet, but a reduced protein diet could be very beneficial under the circumstances as well.
I agree that red meat is in general a great thing to eat. I eat it often, but like everything, it is not healthy to eat it all the time, and in this case I suggest it is particularly not healthy for the reasons I stated above. Dietary balance is the key to good health. When you are experiencing particular symptoms of an imbalance, changing your diet to bring it back to balance is generally a good idea.
Ivermectin
N-acetylcysteine (NAC), the supplement form of cysteine, is an amino acid that helps the body create and use protective antioxidants.

In addition to the two mentioned above (Ivermectin and NAC), I'd add vitamin D, vitamin C, Zinc with Quercetin, Curcumin with Bioperene, Stinging nettle root and Cod Liver Oil.
