Spirulina
(blue-green algae) can be obtained mail order on the world wide web and in health food
stores and contains a substance called spirulan.
The co-factor for spirulan is calcium which can be obtained in health food
stores or on the world wide web. If calcium supplements are used great caution should be exercised with dosing, because it is possible to take a large amount of calcium which can be fatal.
Be aware that once you have entered Phase 1, you are committed to stored spirulan - you can't get rid of it. It will eventually decay, but you will get side-effects from calcium and any calcium containing food for a month or two.
Because there is no possibility of viral resistance dosing does not have to be exact and a person can tailor doses to find the individual maximum tolerable doses. Although I have attempted to give approximate doses the important thing is to get the ringing sound in the head and keep it going. This ringing sound is completely painless and may only be noticeable at night when it's quiet.
Alternate Phase 1 and Phase 2
Phase 1
In the morning and evening take a half tablet of Spirulina (500mg) plus 500mg calcium on an empty stomach with a half cup of water an hour before breakfast and dinner. Chew the tablets. If you are also taking the quercetin the half cup of water will suffice for both spirulina and quercetin with the vitamin C and calcium.
This phase lasts 3 days
Explanation
The spirulan in Spirulina will react with calcium in calcium containing foods to create calcium-spirulan which will be absorbed and stored in the body.
Phase 2
Take 500mg of calcium only on an empty stomach twice a day an hour before breakfast and dinner.
This phase lasts 1 day.
Do not take any Spirulina in this phase.
Explanation
The daily dose of calcium will react with the stored spirulan to create calcium-spirulan which will be absorbed into cells and cycle etc.
Spirulan appears to bind to CK2 for a longer period of time (1 - 2 days) so there are more problems with sleep. This is why dosing in phase 2 has to be adjusted on a day by day basis.
Both Phase 1 and 2
Avoid or keep to the minimum all calcium containing foods, especially at night. This includes all Dairy food - Milk, cheese, ice-cream, yoghurt, cream, pizza, etc. Also do not take any calcium supplements except when you are dosing them in the morning and evening with the spirulina. Avoid everything in the onion family and all herbal preparations and probably keep vitamin C to a minimum also except when it is taken with quercetin.
Detailed Explanation
Because active drug is created by a reaction between two substances - spirulan and calcium, either substance can limit the amount of active drug created.
There is a range of stored spirulan
from a minimum to a maximum that will
provide an adequate amount to react with daily doses of calcium. This is a
fairly small range.
