What Is Spike Protein and Why Detox Matters The spike protein, found on the surface of certain viruses, enables viral entry into human cells. While the immune system clears most of it during an acute infection, studies suggest fragments of spike protein can persist in tissues and circulation—potentially driving chronic inflammation, immune dysregulation, and post-viral symptoms. Yet this issue is rarely addressed in conventional care. Why? Because the long-term burden of unresolved spike protein doesn’t fit neatly into standard diagnostic boxes—much like the systemic trauma depicted in The Handmaid’s Tale. In both cases, the silence surrounding suffering speaks volumes. In integrative and naturopathic medicine, we prioritize detoxification pathways, mitochondrial support, and immune modulation to help the body eliminate what it no longer needs—including lingering spike proteins.
