I first tried it a few weeks ago, to see if it would help my focus for work. I was startled and amazed that within minutes my vision was clear! Blurry vision is one of my common CIRS symptoms. I couldn't believe it! I'm at about 3 mgs a day and it's made a huge difference in multiple symptoms. I'm on the Shoemaker protocol but still have days I can't drive etc. Nicotine is a game-changer! Thank you so much for this podcast! ❤
Hi Jacie. Did you notice your MSH levels raising on Nicotine? Did you notice a difference between VIP vs Nicotine, I didn’t hear you compare your experience. Do you still get that alert feeling when you take your nicotine. Sorry so many questions. There is like no information on CIRS use of nicotine and I am thinking about going this route vs VIP. Any information will be helpful. Thank you girls!
Unfortunately we don’t have the research to show that VIP and nicotine have the same effect. I have noticed similar impact in terms of my energy and experience of both. We are hopeful that CIRS research will progress to include the efficacy of nicotine!
Awesome episode! I got my VIP RX today and the price was 3x what my CIRS doctor told me and its not sustainable. Thank you for the giving another potential alternative!
I think this idea requires some solid risk vs benefit analysis. Very interesting. I know people who've used the nicotine patches who had no side effects, but then they were already trying to quit smoking at the time. I know several of them claimed the patches "didn't work" as far as helping them to give up smoking. All this of this, especially regarding covid, is really fascinating! I'd love to hear more on this topic in, say, a year from now. BTW, my long covid symptoms basically have disappeared (probably about 90%) since I started taking nattokinase last fall. If you can find someone who has done any studies on this, I'd be super interested in that.
@@thecirsgroup Cool! Thanks, I'll check that out. It certainly has helped me! I always ran out of breath just walking to my mailbox and I thought it was just from the mold, but after taking Nattokinase for two weeks, I was breathing way better, even while still in exposure to mold. I have a friend with CIRS and long covid who ordered some but I don't know if she's started taking it or not.
Excellent Episode! Great information. Great Warnings. Nicotine just "stung" so much, I took it as a sign my body was NOT happy with it. And Jacie... Points for the Chocolate Covered Coffee Beans reminder. OMG. I remember the first time I ate an entire bag of those (because I was up for 2 days, LOL... At a conference)... #NotAModerator LOL
Another great episode! I just love all three of you so much. Thank you. And my vote is absolutely for calling it the “12 steps.” 😂 (I was laughing so hard) I’m up to 9 mg per day. About to put in another order so thanks for the discount code!
It appears that addiction is greatly impacted by the form you take - inhalation appears to be addictive but the research is inconclusive on oral administration. For myself, if I don’t set a reminder, I forget to take it. When I do stop taking it, I don’t notice adverse impact but ymmv
Episode was great! Research focused, humor and potential opinions for moving the needle.
This is a great trio.
Thank you! We hope more info is published soon!
@@thecirsgroup likewise 😊

@@thecirsgroup Thanks for the feed back. I will be documenting my levels once I start. I’ll try to remember to come back here and share them with you.

Oof yeah I would follow up with your provider on that - they may have an alternative resource for you

The FLCCC alliance recommends natto as an option for their spike protein protocol, they probably have studies you can check out!

How do you break the NicNac mints? When I try they crumble.
Hm… mine very rarely crumble, I just snap them in half but maybe a pill cutter would help!

Oh wow I’m glad you survived that!!

The 12 steps really got me 😂
So glad to hear about the serotonin release … when I took a 6mg… I vomited like crazy…💔💔💔💔
Ugh I’m so sorry you experience that! I started with .5mg
Does nicotine help with the sinus issues of CIRS?
I don’t think we looked into that aspect specifically!
Thank you 🙏🏼
@@thecirsgroupwell i guess i will be doing the experiment for that. Thanks for putting out great content!
@angelaollenberg5457 I've found that nicotine makes it easier to breathe through my nose
@@ColonialT7awesome, hopefully it helps with extreme sinus pain throughout my head and neck!
Is this for people ready for vip as an alternativr?
We hope that is what the research will indicate in the future!
Great Episodes ladies and gentleman!!!! What about addiction to the nicotine?
