Was there anybody who was immune to like any genetics or demographics or cultures that

were immune to COVID-19?

There's one adult group, you're going to laugh, but there's one adult group, no specific

ethnicity or culture, but you're going to laugh, smokers.

Smokers couldn't get it?

They got it very mild cases and they don't get long COVID.

You know why?

Why?

Because smokers maintain a level of nicotine in the bloodstream.

They actually smoke frequently enough, blood nicotine blocks the spike protein as it's

interfacing with the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor.

Smoking blocks the spike protein.

It's amazing.

I thought smokers were going to go down.

Well, who knows now, Ben, all those years of this, all those smoking advertisements

ended up probably saving people's lives 40 years later.

Well, you know what we use now?

We use a nicotine patch, seven milligram patch, even in non-smokers to help them through long

COVID.

We use it in addition to the McCulloch protocol.

I've seen people recommend that people should just be on nicotine of like a take a nicotine

patch.

Do you think that's a good idea?

It's on a regular basis or is that just...

I think if they have long COVID, I recommended to a patient yesterday, if they have long

COVID symptoms, nicotine, don't forget is a nootropic.

A nootropic is a drug that does make the brain function more effectively.

It's a methylxanthin.

It's related to caffeine.

Caffeine does the same thing as a nootropic.

So some people use nicotine little packets or what have you.

I grew up in Texas.

So there were kids were dip snuff in.

Oh yeah.

We used to chew that plug tobacco.

Right.

My dad was a chain smoker, but nicotine itself is addictive, but it's not harmful to the

human body.

And so is, by the way, caffeine is addictive, but it's not harmful to the human body.

What's harmful is the tars that's in tobacco and smoke.

So you might even use the dip snuff that's related to oral cancer, but now the purified

forms of nicotine, my understanding is that they're safe.

The nicotine patches are perfectly safe.

And there you go.

Nicotine is a cognitive enhancer.
