Conclusion of Comprova: There is no scientific proof that the substances recommended by North American cardiologist Peter McCullough for a supposed detox against the effects of the Covid-19 vaccine can eliminate protein S from the body after immunization, contrary to what the post states.
The spike protein is present in Sars-CoV-2 as a structure that connects the virus to the human cell. Messenger RNA technology vaccines, such as Pfizer’s, teach the body to produce the same protein so that the immune system creates antibodies against it.
As explained by Eduardo Silveira, professor at the Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences at the University of São Paulo (USP), it makes no sense to say that there is protein S intoxication after vaccination because it is eliminated from the body in a few days. “In the body, when a person is vaccinated, everything is processed quickly and in less than a week you have absolutely no protein circulating anymore because it is quickly recognized by antibodies and eliminated. Some enzymes in the cells will degrade that material.”
McCullough’s supposed detox includes nattokinase, bromelain and curcumin to help “degrade the spike protein” after vaccination. The doctor also recommends additional treatments with hydroxychloroquine, ivermectin, colchicine, nicotine patch or oral acyclovir, and naltrexone.
When Comprova, the Ministry of Health clarified that none of these substances have a proven relationship of effectiveness against any possible effect of Covid-19 vaccines. “Self-medication can present several health risks, including the worsening of symptoms or medical conditions, allergic reactions and antimicrobial resistance”, warns the statement.
Furthermore, as Silveira explained, there is no evidence to prove harm caused by the spike protein to vaccinated people, according to the ministry. “The claim that people are ‘injured’ by the spike protein in vaccines has no reliable scientific basis,” says the note.
