Symptom Management Library
Targeted interventions for the "Big 6" chronic issues encountered during the Scorch Protocol.
Symptom Triage
1. Low Energy & Fatigue
Cause: Often mitochondrial dormancy ("hibernation") or low cell voltage.
| Dietary | Focus on bioenergetic foods and strategies to support mitochondrial function. |
| Adrenal Focus | Support adrenals with Vitamin C, Sodium, and stress reduction (Vagus nerve work). |
| Protocol Fixes |
|
2. Fungal Issues (Candida/Mold)
Cause: Weak immune system (Thymus) and low body temperature allowing overgrowth.
- T3 Therapy: Raising body temperature to 37°C creates an inhospitable environment for fungi.
- Thymus Regeneration: A stronger immune system naturally controls fungal populations.
- Supplements:
- Fluconazole: Pharmaceutical antifungal. Common 3 month course for severe chronic illness with fungal overgrowth.
- Monolaurin: Potent antiviral/antifungal from coconut. More mid and natural approach, good for liver health and microbiome.
- Combined approach often required for deep persistence.
3. Kidney Issues
Cause: Filtration stress during detox or weak flow.
- T3 Therapy: Improves renal blood flow and filtration rate (eGFR often rises with T3).
- Lemon Drinks: Daily lemon water (outside of dry fasts) to prevent stones.
- Potassium Citrate: Alkalizes urine and prevents crystal formation.
- Dry Fasting: Powerful kidney eGFR regenerator if done correctly with IR protocol.
4. Liver Issues
Cause: Fatty liver (NAFLD) or congestion from toxin release.
- Dry Fasting: The most powerful tool for burning liver fat (visceral fat is burned first).
- TUDCA: (Tauroursodeoxycholic Acid) Thins bile and protects liver cells. Crucial supplement.
- T3 Therapy: Accelerates liver metabolism and fat oxidation.
5. Insulin Resistance
Cause: Cellular refusal to accept insulin/glucose, leading to high blood sugar and inflammation.
- Diet:Low carb for quicker results, but bioenergetics for addressing root causes.
- Supplements: Bioenergetic approved supplements, no guanides or AMPK related supplements.
- Fasting: Deep fasting drains glycogen stores and sensitizes cells to insulin via intracellular clean-up and polarization. Requires carbs for IR improvements
6. Muscle Wasting (Cachexia)
Cause: Catabolic state or Thymus/Immune deterioration.
- HGH (Human Growth Hormone):
- Counteracts wasting by promoting protein synthesis.
- Supports Thymus regeneration (immune reset).
- Dosage: Typically low dose (e.g., 1-2 IU) simply to preserve mass, not for bodybuilding.
- Important to time correctly to avoid insulin resistance.
- Amino Acids: Essential Amino Acids (EAAs) or HMB to signal muscle preservation.
7. Cellular Voltage & Hyperpolarization
Cause: Depolarized cells (low electrical charge) cannot function properly. Healthy cells maintain a voltage of approximately -70mV to -90mV. When this drops, cellular metabolism, detoxification, and regeneration all fail.
The 3 Most Powerful Bioelectric Methods
While grounding and sunlight are helpful, these three interventions are leagues stronger for restoring cellular electricity:
| 1. Direct Bioelectric Intervention |
Mechanism: Applying the correct voltages of electricity directly to cells, as
pioneered in Mike Levin's Bioelectric Labs. How it Works: External electrical fields can force cells to hyperpolarize (increase negative charge), triggering regeneration pathways and resetting cellular identity. This is the most direct and powerful method, but requires specialized equipment and expertise. Currently experimental for most applications, but represents the future of regenerative medicine. |
| 2. Dry Fasting |
Mechanism: Dehydration forces cells into a survival state where they must
hyperpolarize to maintain ion gradients. How it Works: Without water, cells cannot afford to waste energy. They tighten their membranes, increase mitochondrial efficiency, and restore proper voltage. The stress of dehydration acts as a "reset" signal, forcing weak cells into autophagy and healthy cells into hyperpolarization. This is why dry fasting is so powerful for chronic illness, it directly fixes the electrical dysfunction at the root. |
| 3. T3 Therapy |
Mechanism: Thyroid hormone (T3) directly increases mitochondrial ATP production,
which powers the sodium-potassium pumps that maintain cell voltage. How it Works: T3 upregulates mitochondrial respiration, giving cells the energy they need to actively maintain their electrical charge. Without sufficient T3, cells "brown out" and lose voltage, leading to the hibernation state seen in chronic illness. T3 is the metabolic throttle that ensures cells have enough energy to stay electrically charged. |
Why These Beat Grounding: Grounding provides a gentle electron flow from the earth, which is helpful for reducing inflammation. However, it does not force cellular hyperpolarization the way dry fasting, T3, or direct bioelectric intervention do. These three methods actively restore and maintain the electrical potential of cells, rather than just providing a passive electron source.
