Who This Protocol Is For

This protocol is designed for individuals with persistent post-COVID symptoms (often called 'long COVID'), Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (CIRS), mould illness, or other chronic neuroinflammatory conditions characterised by persistent fatigue, cognitive impairment, pain, and immune dysregulation.

It is an advanced protocol — not appropriate as an introduction to peptides. It requires practitioner involvement for monitoring and should not be self-prescribed without appropriate diagnostic workup.

The Protocol Logic
KPV + BPC-157
Anti-Inflammatory Foundation
KPV (Lys-Pro-Val) is a potent anti-inflammatory alpha-MSH fragment. BPC-157 provides gut healing and systemic anti-inflammatory effects. Together they form the daily anti-inflammatory backbone. Both can be taken orally.
Thymosin Alpha-1
Immune Reconstitution
Post-COVID and CIRS typically involve immune dysregulation — often both over-activation of inflammatory pathways and impaired adaptive immunity. TA-1 modulates rather than stimulates, addressing the dysregulation rather than simply boosting activity.
Semax
Neuroinflammation & Cognition
Added from month 3 once the inflammatory foundation is established. Addresses neuroinflammatory contribution to brain fog, cognitive impairment, and fatigue. Upregulates BDNF and promotes neuroplasticity.
Blood Work

Inflammatory panel at baseline, month 8, and December: CRP, IL-6, TGF-β, C3a/C4a (the CIRS-specific complement markers), cytokine panel if available. Also include HLA-DR DQ genotyping if CIRS is suspected — approximately 25% of the population have the immune gene variants that predispose to mould illness and biotoxin accumulation.
