The Front Line COVID-19 Critical Care (FLCCC) Alliance was initially formed as a working group during the early COVID-19 pandemic days in response to multiple early reports of COVID patients with an inexplicably high need for prolonged mechanical ventilation and an excessive death rate. Based on rapidly emerging clinical trials evidence, the FLCCC team has developed the   I-MASK+ protocol   for prophylaxis and at home treatment of early stage COVID-19 and has now divided the I-MASK protocol into I-CARE and I-PREVENT protocols. It is critical to recognize that infection with SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, progresses through a number of stages and phases. Treatment is therefore highly stage-specific. COVID-19 is a clinical diagnosis; a confirmed antigen or PCR test is not required. Treatment should be initiated immediately after the onset of flu-like symptoms. The multiple therapies and drugs in this protocol have different mechanisms of action and work s...

Insulin resistance has emerged in the last 50 years as the world’s most common disorder and the single largest cause of loss of life. Also known as ‘metabolic syndrome, it leads to conditions like high blood pressure, high blood sugar, excess body fat around the waist, and abnormal triglyceride and cholesterol levels. As this document makes clear, insulin resistance and type II diabetes are largely reversible through adopting healthy lifestyles. Treatments Intermittent fasting/time-restricted eating : This is the most efficient and effective way to lower insulin levels and restore insulin sensitivity. In addition, fasting has a profound benefit on the immune system, partly by stimulating the clearing of damaged cells (autophagy), damaged mitochondria (mitophagy), and misfolded and foreign proteins. Fasting also improves mitochondrial health and increases stem cell production, and is the most effective method to achieve sustained weight loss. Cautions and contraindications Avoid fasting...

The I-Mask protocol for prevention and early treatment (is now divided into I-Prevent and I-Care protocols) are physiologic-based combination treatment regimens developed by leaders in critical care medicine. All component prescription medicines and vitamins are FDA-approved, inexpensive, readily available and have been used for decades with well-established safety profiles. McCullough et al. Reviews in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2020 Please check this post regularly for updates – new medications may be added and/or dose changes to existing medications may be made as further scientific studies emerge. I-MASK+ Prevention & Early Outpatient Treatment Protocol for COVID-19 was designed for use as a prevention and in early outpatient treatment, for those who test positive for COVID-19. Component nutrients include vitamin D, C, melatonin,  quercetin and zinc . To help you get quality supplements in this protocol, we've put together a sup...
