At Lange Girl Farm, we’re always curious about nature’s hidden healers, and Dr. Bryan Ardis’ nicotine treatment has sparked interest among those seeking relief from lingering health challenges—like those tied to proteins from illness or vaccines. His protocol suggests using ashwagandha, quercetin, and cinnamon cassia to break down proteins, nicotine patches to release them, and bentonite clay to bind them out. While mainstream science questions these claims, we’re diving into this holistic approach with an open heart, straight from our Michigan soil. Let’s explore this journey together!
Holistic Detox Protocol
Dr. Ardis proposes a multi-step process to address what he calls “venom proteins” or spike proteins, which he believes linger and cause issues. Here’s how we can adapt it with nature’s gifts:
- Destroy Proteins with Herbs and Spices:
- Ashwagandha: This adaptogenic root, grown in harmony with our farm’s ethos, may reduce inflammation and support your body’s resilience. Steep 1 tsp dried root in hot water daily. Can be found on Amazon here (https://amzn.to/3IoDUpQ affiliate link)
- Quercetin: Found in onions and apples, this antioxidant (500–1000 mg daily) is said to neutralize proteins. Add it to your smoothies or teas. Found here on Amazon (https://amzn.to/4lOy7Z1)
- Cinnamon Cassia: A warming spice from our blends (1/2 tsp daily), it’s claimed to aid protein breakdown. Sprinkle on oatmeal or brew into tea. Found here on Amazon (https://amzn.to/4lq53qZ)
- These earthy allies work gently, though science debates their specific role in protein detox.
- Release Proteins with Nicotine Patches:
- Dr. Ardis recommends Rugby 7 mg nicotine patches, worn for 2 weeks, to bind to receptors and release proteins. Cut a patch into halves or quarters (3.5–7 mg) and apply to clean, dry skin (e.g., upper arm or back) daily. Remove before sleep if sensitive. Patches are found here on Amazon (https://amzn.to/4ltHQnZ ) for 21mg that gets cut into ⅓ pieces (3 pieces per patch)
- Some report relief from fatigue or brain fog within days, though evidence is anecdotal, and the establishment downplays nicotine’s broader benefits.
- Bind with Bentonite Clay:
- Use 1/2 tsp food-grade bentonite clay mixed in 8 oz water (or milk to hide the taste) away from meals to bind released proteins for elimination. Found on Amazon here (https://amzn.to/40eKNA8)
- Pair with our Bumps & Bruises Balm to soothe any skin irritation from patches.
- Detox Bath Recipe:
- Ingredients: 2 cups Epsom salts, 1/4 cup bentonite clay, 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar, and your choice of 10 drops essential oil (e.g., eucalyptus for breathing, tea tree for skin, or lavender for calm).
- Method: Dissolve salts and clay in warm water, add vinegar and oil, and soak for 15–20 minutes to support detox through sweat.
- Frequency: Twice weekly.
- Taste Tip: Blend bentonite clay into milk (1/2 tsp in 8 oz) to mask its earthy flavor, making it a smooth addition to your routine.
- Kids’ Detox: For children, use 1 cup Epsom salts with 1 tbsp clay and 5 drops frankincense or cedarwood oil for 10 minutes, supervised. Consult a pediatrician, as nicotine and herbs aren’t typically recommended for kids.
Why It Works (or Might)
Ardis claims these proteins disrupt cellular function, and his protocol aims to dismantle and expel them. Ashwagandha and quercetin have anti-inflammatory properties backed by small studies, while cinnamon cassia’s coumarin may support detox pathways—though not specifically for proteins. Nicotine’s receptor-binding potential is explored in early research (e.g., long COVID case studies), but the establishment insists it lacks cure evidence, focusing on its addictive risks. Bentonite clay’s binding action is a traditional detox tool, though its protein-specific role is unproven. This farm-inspired approach invites you to listen to your body, not just the headlines.
Practical Considerations
- Safety: Start with low nicotine doses (3.5 mg) and consult a doctor, especially for heart conditions or kids. Monitor for nausea or skin irritation.
- Customization: Adjust EO in the bath to your comfort—eucalyptus for lungs, tea tree for skin—reflecting our farm’s personalized care.
