Nicotine - can it save us from the bio-weapon?
Is it a cure-all, a dangerous addictive drug, both or neither?
Snake Venom, Nicotine Patches and Velvet Bean
I have been vaguely following the Bryan Ardis roadshow, particularly what he is saying about the presence of snake and sea snail venoms in the covid spike protein, and how we can get rid of any residual venom from our bodies.
He is recommending Nicotine Patches or the equivalent to dispatch the spike protein with its loading of snake venom or sea snail venom.
He is also recommending Mucuna Pruriens (Velvet Bean) as a herb that seems to detox snake venom, although he is not so specific about what it actually does inside the body and how to use it.
I want to deal with both in this article.
Snake Venom
First, what Bryan Ardis has to say about snake and sea snail venoms
If you don’t know what Bryan Ardis is saying about the snake and sea snail venoms watch this interview with Ricardo Bosi. Essentially he is telling us that the covid 19 spike protein, which many think is causing all the trouble with death rates and with long covid, is carrying deadly snake venoms. It enters the cells via ACE2 receptors and stops those cells from functioning properly. After that, I think he is saying that it is self-replicating so once it has taken up residence it is going to continue to damage the host body. You might want to clarify my doubtless inaccurate potted summary once you watch some of his videos or read his articles.
Nicotine Patches
Second, what Bryan Ardis has to say about using nicotine to get rid of that toxic spike protein from the body
The video below from Bryan Ardis tells us exactly how to use nicotine, and potentially a few other supplements, to fix long covid that has resulted from the toxic covid spike protein.
https://www.bitchute.com/video/WHzYcC7GzLdO/
Dose - 1 x 7 mg nicotine patch each 24 hours for 6 consecutive days - that’s all!
But what if you are an ex-smoker? Will the nicotine be addictive?
I was hospitalised with something called covid in May 2022. I have experienced Fibromyalgia since I was 14, but had it sufficiently under control to live a fairly normal life. But since “recovering” from what was called covid, I am now pretty much housebound as a result of increasing stiffness, pain and weakness as well as many other reported symptoms of what is being called long covid.
That makes me a perfect candidate for nicotine patches as recommended by Bryan Ardis. However, I was afraid to use them because I am an ex smoker and don’t want to risk setting up that craving to inhale again. Recently, I bumped into an old friend who is also an ex smoker, who had the courage to use nicotine patches, and who has found that they have not re-activated the cigarette cravings of a smoker. So on her say so, I am going to risk using nicotine patches myself.
So is nicotine addictive?
Bryan Ardis in the second video above tells us nicotine is not addictive. Andrew Huberman, by contrast, who give us a lot of great explanations of how the body’s communication systems work, says it is addictive, and he warns against it. I include this clip here in the interest of understanding better how nicotine works in the body, and to provide both perspectives on the potential dangers of nicotine.
Mucuna Pruriens (Velvet Bean)
A second potential treatment for the snake venom in the spike protein, according to Bryan Ardis in his interview with Ricardo Bosi, is Mucuna Pruriens (Velvet Bean).
Mucuna Pruriens and snake venom
All you bush walkers out there, did you know there is something you can take if you get bitten by a snake and don’t have access to anti-venom? Not sure if it works for all types of snake bite, but for anyone regularly exposed to highly venomous snakes, a few capsules of Mucuna Pruriens in the back-pack would seem like a good idea.
This seed can be used directly to protect against toxicity from snake bites.

Mucuna Pruriens and long covid
In a somewhat remarkable co-incidence, I had already started taking this product, before knowing it had anything to do with treating snake venom. I was taking it because it is high in L-Dopa, which is the pre-cursor for Dopamine, and I wondered if it could help counteract the stiffness of Fibromyalgia in the same way that it can help similar symptoms in those with Parkinson’s. It does. I am hugely improved just taking one concentrated tablet before meals 3X per day. My movement is better and my head is clearer.
Apparently the l-dopa, the precursor to dopamine, is the active element in Mucuna Pruriens that treats the stiffening of the body in Parkinson’s disease.
I have scanned multiple articles on the use of Mucuna Pruriens to treat snake bite, but have been unable to clearly determine what the active element in the plant that treats snake bite is, or even the mechanics of how it works. As a traditional medicine, it is used because it DOES work, not because anyone has determined how. I doubt anyone has any greater clarity about how it works for long covid either. There are some minimal dangers with taking it, but not enough to stop me experimenting over a stated period of time.
Nicotine AND Mucuna Pruriens for long covid
Technically it would be better for me to test each alone for its impact on the range of symptoms called long covid, but as my day by day survival is tenuous, I don’t want to stop taking the Mucuna Pruriens and risk regressing, in order to test the nicotine patch alone. So I am going to continue taking the Mucuna Pruriens at the current dose of 3 concentrated tablets per day, while I add the nicotine patch for the six consecutive days.
If the nicotine patch works as suggested, maybe I will be able to stop taking them both after 6 days. What a promise!
As an aside
Mucuna Pruriens, along with its high level of dopamine precursor, also contains some level of nicotine, although I have no idea how it compares to tobacco.
And nicotine also causes the release of dopamine.
So given that dopamine is impacted by both Nicotine AND Mucuna Pruriens, both of which apparently treat long covid, just how much is dopamine the critical element, or at least a critical element in treating long covid? And just maybe the nicotine and the Mucuna Pruriens are acting in the same or similar way on the same processes.
And what does the dopamine system have to do with snake venom?
Going round and round in circles here.
My steps from here
I was going to wait before publishing this until I had used the patches for the required time, but I think, instead, I will take you through the process.
I went to the local chemist today to get the 7mg nicotine patches. Be clear about the strength. This seems to be the weakest. Also I had to get a box of 28 for $60.00 so shop around if you only want 6, because they are expensive.
Once I apply the first patch I will keep a day by day diary in the first comment to this page, for the first 6 days, reporting back what happens to me using the nicotine patches - my own little scientific experiment with a sample size of One.

Addenda (added 15/11) - Other sources of nicotine
I have been asked about natural rather than pharmaceutical sources for nicotine.
I think we can agree that consuming tobacco to get nicotine is dangerous for reasons other than the nicotine. So are there any healthier ways of getting it.
"Nicotine is the addictive phytochemical in tobacco, which is derived from plants in the Nicotiana species of the Solanaceae family. Other species in this family include Capsicum and Solanum, whose edible fruits and tubers include peppers, tomatoes, potatoes and eggplants. All contain nicotine."
A good article on foods with nicotine in them follows. There are also some herbs.
https://sciencing.com/plants-containing-nicotine-12400023.html
And here goes that link with dopamine and Parkinson's again, taken from the article above.
"Also, humans who eat food containing nicotine may benefit from some protection from Parkinson's disease, notes Medical News Today. Preliminary research shows that dietary nicotine may lower the risk of developing Parkinson's, but more research is needed to conclude that nicotine is clinically effective in slowing this disease."
Addenda (added 16/11) - the dangers of taking nicotine
Below is a good article explaining the good and bad of nicotine and tobacco.
There does seem to be a potential risk of increasing blood sugar, although even that information is unclear, as the articles on it switch between the words nicotine and tobacco, as if the two always go together. In most cases it is unclear whether the researchers are referring to smoking or to other forms of imbibing nicotine itself.
For those with any aspect of metabolic syndrome, which is high blood sugar, high blood pressure and high heart rate - which includes me - we need to keep a very close eye on our readings. I will check my blood sugar very carefully to ensure the nicotine patch is not spiking my blood sugar.
And of course, whatever Bryan Ardis says, there is the potential risk of addiction for ex smokers.
And this articles outlines all the dangers of nicotine, and there are many.

Experiment with nicotine round 2. I stopped taking the nicotine patches and increased my dose of velvet bean for a few days to feel the difference. My legs feel easier with the velvet bean, but are weaker and wobblier, so back onto the nicotine patch for another 6 days.
Round 2 Day 1 of 7mg nicotine patch worn on thigh. No noticeable difference, good or bad. The patches don't stay on in very humid weather and have to be stuck on with medical dressing tape.
Round 2 Day 2 of 7mg nicotine patch worn on thigh. Maybe nicotine is somewhat strengthening, but again this test is not going to be valid because it is confused with getting a diagnosis of cancer yesterday. I am going to keep using the patches because, if nothing else, I am being heavily exposed to vaccinated medical personnel and who knows if the nicotine will help.
DAY 1 of 7mg nicotine patch worn on thigh.
I had no allergy reactions or any noticeable skin or digestive reactions to the patch. That pleased me. However, I have been unbearably sleepy, with sleep trying to drag me under most of the time I am awake. I don't know if it is related to the nicotine or not, given that nicotine is a stimulant and encourages the production of cortisol. My blood sugar is a little high but no higher than normal, and is stable, no noticeable swings that I have detected.
DAY 2 of 7mg nicotine patch worn on thigh.
Still no noticeable reactions except this sleepiness, which if anything is getting worse. I have set aside the time to write this while I force myself to stay awake. Sleepiness is classified as a rare side effect of the patch. I will leave the patch in place as it isn't going to do me any harm to sleep more. Night night (at 4 in the afternoon). ;-) Lowest blood sugar reading in a few weeks (still a little high).
DAY 3 of 7mg nicotine patch worn on thigh (where it keeps falling off and has to be stuck back on with adhesive dressing).
No change in full range of long covid and FMS symptoms. Also no additional symptoms. Blood sugar still stable withing its normal slightly high readings. So nothing to report. My main fear of nicotine pushing up blood sugar does not seem to be eventuating. If anything I feel calmer and more grounded.
DAY 4 of 7mg nicotine patch worn on thigh
No change in full range of long covid and FMS symptoms.. Sometimes worse, sometimes better, which is normal variability for both FMS and long covid. Blood sugar within my normal range.
DAY 5 of 7mg nicotine patch worn on thigh
No change in full range of long covid and FMS symptoms.. Blood sugar within my normal range.
DAY 6 of 7mg nicotine patch worn on thigh
No change in full range of long covid and FMS symptoms.. Blood sugar within my normal range. I had a procedure today to excise what looks like quite a large and fast growing skin cancer (my first ever cancer) which may have been distracting my body from other healing efforts, so I will take 2 days off from the patches to check for addiction, then continue this trial for another 6 days. At least I have worked out that there seem to be no harmful side effects - so long as there is no addiction issue. Even more, I am sure the nicotine REDUCES my cortisol production, which for me is a very good thing. I had also stopped taking a few of my regular herbals that are notorious blood thinners knowing the doctor was going top have to cut deep so bleeding might be a problem, thus messing up my normal support for my body to heal what ails it. It's all gotten toooo complicated - too many issues to deal with simultaneously, and too little high level guidance and support out there. According to the nurse, my bleeding looked "very healthy" and "about right" - so that's good to know.
DAY 7 no nicotine patch. Collapse after medical procedure down to my lowest level of "normal" Spent all day on sofa unable to do anything. Still taking low dose of velvet bean. No sign of any withdrawal symptoms from nicotine. Blood sugar pleasingly in my low range.
DAY 8 no nicotine patch. Morning still at my lowest level of "normal" . Had wound dressed to be told that it was very clean and healing surprisingly well - but we still don't know if they removed all of the cancer. Spent most of my day on sofa unable to do anything, until late afternoon, when I "perked up" and my legs were "normal" enough for me to go for a short walk, not in pain but very weak (these sort of fluctuations are normal and usually inexplicable). Still taking low dose of velvet bean. No sign of any withdrawal symptoms from nicotine. Blood sugar pleasingly in my low range.
