Spike proteins can demonstrably be eliminated. My lab results in November 2025: 37.78 pg/ml in exosomes, 8.4 times the threshold of 4.5 pg/ml. After three months with a combination of Huaier (Trametes robiniophila) and other substances: completely negative. This article documents the process with real lab results and links to over 15 PubMed studies.

My Story: How It All Started
It was not a single moment. No collapse, no dramatic doctor's visit. It was worse: a gradual disappearance of what I once knew as "normal."
I was more tired than before. Not the tiredness after a long day - but a leaden heaviness that was already there in the morning. My head felt like it was wrapped in cotton wool. I needed longer for decisions that used to come easily. And I attributed it to the obvious: age, stress, too much work. As you do.
The insidious thing: it happens so slowly that you do not notice. Piece by piece, your real normal becomes a new normal - one that is not actually normal. But you no longer have a point of comparison. You have forgotten what it feels like to be truly fit.
I am an entrepreneur with over 30 years of experience and have been having comprehensive blood tests done for two years. Not because I am ill - but because I want to know where I stand. In November 2025 I had a specialized spike protein test done for the first time.
The result shook me: 37.78 pg/ml spike protein in exosomes - against a threshold of under 4.5. That is 8.4 times the threshold. Spike proteins were also detectable in my immune cells: 6.04 pg, also above the threshold.
Suddenly I had an explanation. For the fatigue. For the fog in my head. For the feeling that something was not right - without being able to grasp it.
When you hold such a finding in your hands - black on white, 8 times above the threshold - it is first of all a shock. Because you suddenly know: there is something in your body that does not belong there. For years. And you did not notice.
Important: It does not matter whether you are vaccinated or not. Spike proteins are transmissible from person to person - just because you are not vaccinated does not mean you are free of them. And conversely: many vaccinated people today know they would like to get rid of the spike proteins. What was once dismissed as scaremongering is now scientifically documented. This is not a political issue - it is a solution for anyone who is affected.
The point is: I was told at the time that spike proteins are broken down by the body within a few weeks. My lab results say something different. And I am not alone - science now confirms that spike proteins can persist in the body for years.
What Are Spike Proteins - Explained Simply
Spike proteins are the "spikes" on the surface of the SARS-CoV-2 virus - the distinctive crown that gives the coronavirus its name. They are the key with which the virus enters human cells. It docks onto the ACE2 receptor of our cells via the spike protein - like a key into a lock.
The problem: even when the virus itself has long been defeated, spike proteins can remain in the body. They hide in exosomes (small vesicles that cells use for communication) and in immune cells (PBMC - the white blood cells that are actually responsible for our defences).
And that is exactly what makes them so insidious: your immune system recognizes the spike proteins as an enemy - and fights. Permanently. Day after day. Week after week. Month after month. Year after year.
What Happens When Spike Proteins Stay in the Body?
Imagine your immune system as an army. Normally there are clear missions: a cold here, an infection there - the army moves out, does the job, withdraws. But what happens when the army is permanently deployed? Against an enemy that never disappears? It gets tired. Exhausted. At some point it can no longer win the really important battles.
Science calls this "immune exhaustion." And there are solid studies that prove exactly this:
Study 1: Spike Protein Binds Directly to T Cells
Researchers at the University of Iowa demonstrated in 2022 that T cells - the most important soldiers of our immune system - possess ACE2 receptors. The spike protein docks directly onto T cells and reduces their proliferation and triggers cell death. This means: spike proteins actively destroy the cells that are supposed to protect us.

Study 2: Spike Protein Causes Neuroinflammation
Theoharides and Kempuraj (2023) show that the spike protein can cross the blood-brain barrier. It activates microglia and mast cells in the brain and triggers inflammatory reactions - the basis for brain fog, chronic fatigue and cognitive problems familiar to many Long COVID sufferers.
Source: Theoharides & Kempuraj (2023), Cells. DOI: 10.3390/cells12050688
Study 3: Spike Protein in the Brain for up to 4 Years
Perhaps the most alarming study comes from Helmholtz Munich and LMU (2025): spike proteins remain in the meninges and skull bone marrow for up to four years. The consequence: chronic inflammation that can accelerate brain aging by 5 to 10 years - a possible trigger for Long COVID, brain fog and cognitive problems.

Further Studies: Exosomes and Interferon
Two further studies complete the picture: Bansal et al. (2021) demonstrated that circulating exosomes with spike protein appear after mRNA vaccination - from day 14 - and do not completely disappear in everyone. Seneff et al. (2022) show that type I interferon signalling can be impaired - a central mechanism of our antiviral defence.
Sources: Bansal et al. (2021), Journal of Immunology, DOI: 10.4049/jimmunol.2100637 - Seneff et al. (2022), Food and Chemical Toxicology, DOI: 10.1016/j.fct.2022.113008
In summary: Spike proteins are not a harmless remnant. They bind to T cells, cross the blood-brain barrier, cause chronic inflammation and can permanently weaken the immune system. And they do not simply disappear - they can remain in the body for years.
My First Blood Test: The Numbers
On November 25, 2025 I had blood drawn. Heparin blood, specifically for spike protein analysis. The results arrived on December 6, 2025:
| Analysis | Unit | Result | Assessment | Threshold |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spike protein in exosomes | pg/ml | 37.78 | POSITIVE - 8.4x above threshold | < 4.5 |
| Spike protein in immune cells (PBMC) | pg | 6.04 | POSITIVE - above threshold | < 4.5 |
My original lab result from November 2025 - spike protein 8.4 times above the threshold. Personal data anonymized.
37.78 pg/ml. I read the number three times. The threshold is 4.5 - my value was almost nine times as high. And that concerns the exosomes - the small transport vesicles that circulate through my entire body and distribute the spike proteins everywhere.
On top of that: spike proteins were also detectable in my immune cells (PBMC). That means: my white blood cells - the cells that are supposed to protect me - were carrying the enemy within them.
What I Did: Huaier - a Medicinal Mushroom with Over 200 Studies
After the result I looked for a solution together with a therapist. The recommendation: Huaier - a medicinal mushroom with the scientific name Trametes robiniophila Murr.
Honestly? I was sceptical. A mushroom is supposed to eliminate spike proteins? But then I started researching. And what I found turned my scepticism into respect:
- Over 200 scientific publications on PubMed - not a niche product but a well-researched active substance
- Over 1,000 years of application history in Traditional Chinese Medicine
- Demonstrated immunomodulating effect - regulates T cells, macrophages, NK cells, dendritic cells
- Antiviral and anti-inflammatory properties - reduces IL-6, TNF-alpha, IFN-gamma
- Improves gut flora - promotes beneficial bacteria like Akkermansia
- Well-tolerated - minimal side effects in studies
Huaier (Trametes robiniophila) - the medicinal mushroom I took for three months.
I took the Huaier extract for three months - daily, consistently. But Huaier alone is not the whole story: for the body to actually eliminate the dissolved spike proteins, it needs support - in my case including a special algae and other natural substances. It is the interplay of several components, not a single miracle remedy.
On top of that there were other issues that the blood picture revealed - including vitamin D levels and other markers that need to be considered individually. What worked for me does not necessarily transfer directly to you. That is why it is important to discuss this individually with an experienced therapist or naturopath.
I am happy to discuss the exact process and which combination was used in my case personally - you can book an appointment here.
My Second Blood Test: Completely Negative
On February 25, 2026 - exactly three months after the first test - I had blood drawn again. Same laboratory, same method, same analysis. Results from March 7, 2026:
| Analysis | Unit | Result | Assessment | Threshold |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spike protein in exosomes | pg/ml | negative | No indication of spike protein | < 4.5 |
| Spike protein in immune cells (PBMC) | pg | negative | No indication of spike protein | < 4.5 |
My lab result from February 2026 - three months later: both values completely negative. Personal data anonymized.
Before - November 2025
37.78
pg/ml in exosomes
8.4x above the threshold
After - February 2026
negative
pg/ml in exosomes
No spike protein detectable
Negative. Both values. Completely.
From 37.78 to undetectable. From 6.04 to undetectable. In three months.
What Changed for Me
Numbers on a lab result are one thing. But what happened in everyday life - that is what counts. And the crazy thing: I only understood afterwards how bad things had been before.
The change had already started earlier - with supplements tailored to my blood work, which had already massively changed my life. I will write about that in a separate article. But what the supplements started was noticeably amplified by the spike protein elimination - as if someone had removed the last resistance that had been holding my body back.
My head is clear again. Not a little clearer - truly clear. I can think thoughts through to the end. Make decisions without turning them over three times. I am more focused for longer, faster in my thinking, more present in conversations. The brain fog I had considered normal for years - gone. Simply gone.
It feels like being in control again. No longer stumbling through the day on autopilot, but acting consciously, thinking clearly, responding precisely. Like the difference between a fogged windscreen and a clear view.
And the energy. I am an entrepreneur, I work a lot - also with my AI assistant that makes my daily routine easier. But that leaden heaviness that was already there in the morning - it is gone. I sleep better, wake up more refreshed, am on a consistent level all day. My body has put down a burden I did not even know I was carrying.
That is the danger of a gradual process: you do not notice how far you have drifted from your real normal. Only when things get better do you think: So that is what it feels like. That is how it should have been the whole time.
And I am not alone. I know several people by now who have gone the same route - some of them entrepreneurs I work with in sparring - and report the same: the head becomes clear again. Energy returns. The feeling of being master of one's own body again.
Science confirms this: a study in Nature Scientific Reports (2022) shows that the spike protein alone - without an active viral infection - is enough to trigger cognitive deficits and anxiety behaviour. If spike proteins cause brain fog, then it is logical that their disappearance ends it.

Is all of this purely because of the spike protein elimination? I cannot say for certain. But I can say: the temporal connection is clear, science provides the explanation - and my lab results speak for themselves.
Important note: This is my personal experience report with real lab results. I am not a medical professional. What worked for me does not necessarily work for everyone. Talk to your naturopath or therapist before doing anything. But: get tested. Know where you stand.
In three months I will repeat the test - to see whether the values stay negative or whether the spike proteins come back. I will report here, just as I also speak transparently about such experiences on my YouTube channel.
What Does Science Say About Huaier?
Huaier is not an esoteric miracle remedy - it is one of the most thoroughly researched medicinal mushrooms in the world. Here are the key findings from PubMed studies:
Immunomodulation: Regulating the Immune System, Not Pushing It
Huaier does not act like a stimulant that revs up the immune system. It regulates it. It activates T cells, macrophages, natural killer cells and dendritic cells - and converts 'cold' immune environments into 'hot' ones. That means: it makes a tired, exhausted immune system capable of action again.
Source: Li et al. (2024), Phytomedicine. DOI: 10.1016/j.phymed.2024.156051
Antiviral Effect: Reducing Viral Load, Reducing Inflammation
A 2025 study shows that Huaier extract significantly reduces viral load in the lungs, lowers inflammatory markers like IL-6, TNF-alpha and IFN-gamma and positively influences gut flora - particularly by promoting beneficial bacteria.
Source: Cao et al. (2025), Journal of Pharmaceutical and Biomedical Analysis. DOI: 10.1016/j.jpba.2025.116700
Gut Flora: Promoting Akkermansia
Wang et al. (2025) show that Huaier reshapes the gut flora in favour of Akkermansia - a bacterium that demonstrably strengthens the immune response. The gut-immune axis is one of the most important levers for a functioning immune system.

What This Means for You
You are probably reading this because you have a hunch. Maybe you are constantly tired. Maybe you have brain fog. Maybe you get sick more often than before. Maybe someone told you it is "normal after COVID" or "psychosomatic."
Maybe it is not. Maybe your immune system has been fighting spike proteins for months or years that nobody checks, because very few doctors even know this test exists.
My advice:
- Get tested. There is a specialized laboratory in Germany that can detect spike proteins in exosomes and immune cells. Ask your naturopath or therapist.
- Inform yourself. Read the studies I have linked here. Form your own opinion - based on data, not opinions.
- Act. If your values are elevated - Huaier is, to my current knowledge, the only thing worldwide that can demonstrably help. Important to know: it is not yet a recognized form of therapy, but an early, promising approach with a growing body of studies. Talk to your naturopath or therapist.
I will update this article: In three months I will repeat the blood test. Then we will know whether the spike proteins have been permanently eliminated or whether they return. I will publish the results here - transparently and with lab values.
Frequently Asked Questions About Spike Proteins
The most important questions about spike proteins, lab tests and Huaier - based on what people are most frequently searching for.
How long do spike proteins stay in the body?
+
According to a study by Helmholtz Munich (2025), spike proteins can be detected in the meninges for up to four years. In my case they were still significantly elevated three years after the infection - 37.78 pg/ml in exosomes against a threshold of 4.5.
Can spike proteins be eliminated?
+
Yes - at least that is my personal experience. After three months with a combination of Huaier (Trametes robiniophila), a special algae and other natural substances, my spike protein values dropped from significantly elevated to completely negative. It is the interplay of several components - not a single remedy. The scientific basis can be found in the studies further up in the article. I am happy to discuss the exact process personally - book an appointment.
What is spikeopathy?
+
Spikeopathy describes health complaints caused by persistent spike proteins in the body - whether after a COVID infection or after an mRNA vaccination. Symptoms include chronic fatigue, brain fog, joint pain, cardiovascular problems and a weakened immune system.
How can I get tested for spike proteins?
+
As far as I know, there is currently only one specialized laboratory in Germany that can detect spike proteins in exosomes and immune cells (PBMC) from heparin blood. The detection limit is 4.5 pg/ml and 70 pg/ml respectively. Ask your naturopath or therapist about a corresponding laboratory test.
What is Huaier (Trametes robiniophila)?
+
Huaier is a medicinal mushroom from Traditional Chinese Medicine with over 1,000 years of application history. It is scientifically referred to as Trametes robiniophila Murr. PubMed lists over 200 studies on Huaier - with demonstrated immunomodulating, anti-inflammatory and antiviral effects.
What are the side effects of Huaier?
+
Scientific studies describe Huaier as well-tolerated with minimal side effects. I personally had no side effects during three months of use. Nevertheless: talk to your naturopath or therapist before taking it, especially if you are taking other medications.
Can spike proteins weaken the immune system?
+
Yes - several studies confirm this. According to a study in the Journal of Infectious Diseases, spike proteins bind directly to T cells, reduce their proliferation and trigger cell death. The immune system is permanently occupied and 'fatigues' - it can no longer deal with other threats. Researchers speak of 'immune exhaustion'. All relevant studies can be found in section 3 of this article.
Spike proteins in the brain - what does that mean?
+
Researchers from Helmholtz Munich and LMU have demonstrated that spike proteins can remain in the meninges and skull bone marrow for up to four years. This can trigger chronic inflammation and accelerate brain aging by 5 to 10 years - a possible trigger for Long COVID, brain fog and cognitive problems.
Conclusion: Knowledge Is the First Step
I am not a doctor. I am an entrepreneur. But I am someone who does not sit out problems - he solves them. When my lab results showed that spike proteins were in my body - nearly nine times above the threshold - I took action. Researched, tested, measured.
The result: from 37.78 to negative. In three months. With a medicinal mushroom that has over 200 scientific studies behind it.
Will it work exactly the same for you? That I cannot promise. But I can tell you: get tested. Know where you stand. And then make an informed decision. That is more than most people do.
