This is a study that might assist your doctors. UCLA began research on ‘spike protein’ reservoirs in LC patients: https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2025/08/250811104235.htm Scientist were able to isolate 65 different spike protein fragments in LC patients in the study which appeared to be ‘stored’ in packages throughout the body. The reservoirs are called EVs.

Germany picked up the gauntlet and they are hard at work on identifying how to clear the covid fragments. https://www.mdpi.com/2076-393X/12/7/790

I discussed these studies with my doctor and then I asked the key question: Is my immune system trashed? A blood draw for a T-Cell study lead to the discovery that I had little to no T-Cell CD8 cells. CD8 cells ‘take out the trash’. When a cell dies or when a virus or bacteria cell is ‘blown up’ into fragments by the ‘seek and destroy T-Cells’, the body’s natural immunity CD8 cells safely transport the dead cells and/or fragments of diseased cells out of the body through the blood and then the liver. For 4 years, I had plenty of seek and destroy T-Cells and the lab work at the 4 year point in this journey showed they were fighting a big infection. For over 2 years, my sphenoid drainage was testing 'positive' for spike proteins but the doctors did not understand why. The sphenoid had become either the major storage organ or a replication factory for the left behind spike fragments. However, the drainage into my gut also caused major failure of my biome systems. When my body could not clear the fragments, they were left behind in my joints, muscles, the sphenoid sinus, my biome and my liver. At the 5 year point, my doctors were able to help.

@pattig09 now that there is some clarity as to what is happening (seems like you have a good health system and doctors willing to go the extra mile) - what is the “help” you have referenced?

Treatments, protocols, medicines?
