What is with all these people talking about “dissolving” proteins?

1. You can denature proteins (which is what stomach acid does).

2. You can then cleave peptide bonds in denatured protein (which is what digestive enzymes produced by the pancreas do in the small intestine to break proteins down into individual amino acids and dipeptides for absorption through the small intestine).

3. Inside individual cells, damaged proteins are broken down into amino acids in lysosomes (the reason it’s done in lysosomes is to protect the rest of the cellular proteins from the harsh processes involved).

4. Inside the body but outside the cells, damaged proteins, for instance low density lipoprotein damaged by oxidation, can be scavenged for disposal. In the case of damaged LDL, foam cells in the blood scavenge them and then extravasate between cells of the arterial intimal lining to the space between that lining and the smooth muscle walls of the artery. And then they die. That is the source of arterial plaque.

5. Or foreign proteins comprising bacteria and viruses can be blasted with chemical agents by the immune system and the bits and pieces be scavenged by immune system cells for

A. Presentation by antigen presenting cells to the B and T cells of the adaptive immune system or

B. disposal by internal cellular processes (see 3 above).

But NONE of those processes involves “dissolving” proteins.

And to the extent that proteins are broken down into individual amino acids, those processes necessarily involve very harsh treatment, which is why the processes are sequestered.

It appears this rectification of the spike must be done early on..perhaps IV Chealtion.
