While the first phase is a virus ... what happens after that is NOT viral pneumonia ... it is a systemic reaction to the spike protein. The treatment before the 8th day is pretty much as you would treat any virus .... what happens on the 8th day after the first symptom determines how serious it is going to be and the treatment from that 8th day on needs to be much different than while it is still acting like a typical virus.
I am curious where you got this. You are saying that the first phase is a virus (I assume it isn't 8 days exactly for everyone?), and the second phase is a systemic reaction to the virus (which has the spike protein). Or are you saying the spike protein somehow breaks off from the rest of the virus? If it is no longer acting like a virus does that mean it has stopped replicating for everyone at this point?
I am not doubting you just asking for more information as this seems like it might be related to a specific set of circumstances rather than an umbrella description.
The first time I heard the "8th day" phenomena was from the South African Dr Chetty. The way he describes it is that if you are going to have severe illness is will start presenting itself on the 8th day with a change in symptoms. He says that sometimes, the flu like symptoms have nearly disappeared and then suddenly new symptoms appear on the 8th day from first symptoms.
His theory is that this is an allergic reaction to the spike protein and that the spike protein may have been dislodged when the virus was killed by the immune system ..... This part is pure speculation .... except he says saw a huge change in how fast he can resolve the symptoms after adding a histamine to his drug cocktail when the allergic type symptoms appear on the 8th day.
He says that if a bee stings you on the butt .... your lips swell up. This reaction to the spike protein presents itself in the lung.
He says he tells his patients to call him immediately if they experience any change in symptoms on the 8th day ..... but that now his patients have usually already told each other about it. If he isn't going to be available 8 days after their first symptom, he writes a script for the meds ahead of time with detailed instruction on how to use them.
He says he only treats people symptomatically at the onset of the illness and concentrates his treatment to stopping any 8th day symptom changes as quickly as possible .... at that point he uses corticosteroids, antihistamines, anti-leukotrienes, and anti-coagulants with dosages depending on how severe the symptoms are and how the patient recovers .... He claims with this approach he has treated people with oxygen levels as low as 70 and returned them to normal as quickly as 4 hours.
It's hard to argue with his success .... he has trained other doctors around the world with his protocols and they are being very effectively in places like Honduras where the government health agencies adopted his approach.
The thing that bugs me is how many people could have been saved if we had adopted ANY early treatment protocols .... Dr McCullough and the group he works with has devised a very similar protocol that they have used effectively as well.
This 8th day reaction only occurs in some people ... other people are pretty much well after the viral stage and don't have the reaction to the spike protein.
Since I saw him mention this phenomena, I have watched videos with several doctors brainstorming .... when they hear this theory they pretty much all say ... yeah, that is how the progression works .... and why different treatments are required in the first 8 days than after.
I have attached a PDF with Dr Chetty's 8th day protocol as interpreted and used by others. This document was put together in May 2021 ... I don't know if there have been updates since then.
I am not recommending anyone use this treatment protocol ... just offering up for discussion.
