The Scorch Protocol: An Overview

This is a guide for The Scorch Protocol, created by Yannick Wolfe (founder of the Dry Fasting Club). The protocol is designed to help heal chronic illnesses, especially Long Covid and autoimmune diseases. It uses a strong combination of dry fasting, specific diets, and metabolic therapies to help the body recover.

Is this Protocol Right for You?

Are you dealing with Chronic Illness (Long Covid, Fatigue, Autoimmune)? If YES → This protocol focuses on deep repair and resetting your immune system.
Are you only looking to lose weight quickly? If YES → This is a very intense protocol and might be more than you need, even though it does help with weight loss. Use it with caution.
Do you have European ancestors? If YES → You have a 45-60% chance of having a specific gene variant (DIO2) that makes this protocol very important for your health.
Is your morning body temperature below 37°C (98.6°F)? If YES → You likely need T3 Therapy to fix your metabolism before or during the protocol.
Do you struggle with heavy fatigue, brain fog, or feeling sick after exercise? If YES → This protocol is meant to give you back youthful energy by fixing how your body creates energy.
Are you taking medications that are hard on the liver (like Benzos or Tylenol)? If YES → DO NOT FAST. Dry fasting while taking these medications can be dangerous for your liver.
Do you have EBV or HSV (Cold sore virus)? If YES → It is critical to follow a viral reactivation protocol during refeeding to prevent flare-ups.

The Three Main Pillars

01. Dry Fasting: Deep Cleaning

This is the most powerful way to reverse illness. Chronic sickness often hides deep in your body and types up your nervous system. The Scorch Protocol uses dry fasting to trigger a "deep clean" (autophagy). It forces the body to burn away old, sick cells and make room for new ones. This is the engine of the entire protocol.

02. T3 Therapy: The Metabolism Bridge

Chronic illness often puts your body into a state of "hibernation." T3 therapy acts as a bridge. By raising your thyroid hormone levels, we force your body to wake up and start burning sugar for energy. This speeds up healing that would normally take years.

03. hGH Therapy: The Rebuilding Signal

While dry fasting clears out the junk, hGH (growth hormone) tells the body to rebuild. In this protocol, hGH is used to help regrow the Thymus Gland, which is like the "school" for your immune system. It works with T3 to keep your muscles strong and help you bounce back faster.

The Double Advantage: Metabolism & Cleaning

Healing chronic illness requires two things: Fixing Metabolism and Clearing Out Junk (like viral fragments).

The Cleaning Limit: While dry fasting is the best tool for cleaning your body, it only works as well as your metabolism allow. If your metabolism is "shut down," your body doesn't have the energy to make the fast fully productive.
The Scorch Advantage: By using T3 and hGH therapies, we put your body into an "artificially healthy" state. This gives your body a surge of energy that makes dry fasting 10 times more effective. It allows the body to reach hidden pockets of disease that it would normally miss.

What Does This Protocol Cure?

Targeted Conditions

This protocol is very effective at reaching hidden germs and viruses, including:

  • Herpes (HSV 1 & 2)
  • Epstein-Barr (EBV)
  • Lyme Disease:
    • Breaking Biofilms: The pressure of a dry fast breaks down the "shields" germs hide behind.
    • Brain Protection: Cleans up germs hiding deep in the brain.
    • Starving Germs: Makes it impossible for pathogens like Babesia to survive.
  • Long Covid & Chronic Fatigue:
    • Clearing Spike Proteins: Helps the body break down leftover proteins from viruses.
    • Fixing Blood Flow: Dissolves tiny blood clots that cause Cold Hands and Feet.
    • Resetting the Immune System: Cleans out sick cells and helps the immune system work correctly again.
    • A Mitochondrial Reboot: Fixes your body's "batteries" so you don't feel sick after activity.
    • Fixing Dizziness: Helps balance your heart rate and nerves to address issues like POTS.
  • Thyroid & Metabolism Failure:
    • Rebuilding Your Metabolism: Fixes a Low Body Temperature and Stubborn Weight Gain.
    • Reducing Cell Stress: Clears Brain Fog, Heavy Fatigue, and Hair Loss.
    • Resetting Hormones: Helps your body's communication system work again.
  • Autoimmune Disorders: Helps with Arthritis, MS, and other conditions where the body attacks itself.
  • Nerve & Bone Issues: Helps the body rebuild things like spine discs using stem cells.
  • Cysts & Growths: Helps shrink non-cancerous growths like fibroids.
  • Lung & Skin Issues: Helps with Asthma, Bronchitis, and Eczema.
  • Liver Issues: Helps fix Fatty Liver and other liver problems.

The Result: A Brand New Immune System

The goal is not just "killing" germ, but replacing your immune system with a new one.

Why it works: Dry fasting triggers deep cleaning and releases "starter cells" (stem cells). Then we use T3 to help rebuild your metabolism. For very sick patients, hGH therapy is used to help rebuild tissues that have broken down over time.

The Final Goal: Your immune system becomes so strong that it keeps hidden viruses (like Herpes) quiet forever. Your new immune system works like a security team that stops any flare-up immediately, effectively curing the sickness.

Why Does This Protocol Take So Long?

One of the most common questions is why the Scorch Protocol takes so much time. It is important to know that the body has a set schedule for healing that we cannot rush. The sooner you start, the sooner your recovery clock begins to tick.

1. Repairing Your Tissues

Even if your blood levels look normal, your cells might still be "starved" for energy. It takes time to clear out hormones that block your metabolism and rebuild your body's energy stores. Repairing this deep damage happens slowly over months.

2. Rebuilding Your "Batteries"

Your cells' energy centers (mitochondria) need to be replaced. Old ones are cleared out and new ones are grown. This is a slow process that often takes 6 to 12 months of consistent effort.

3. Brain Healing

Brain scans show that it takes time for the brain to recover after a virus. You might start seeing some improvement in 1-2 months, but full recovery of your focus and mood often takes 9 to 12 months.

4. Whole Body Recovery

Things like long-term inflammation and nerve issues need to be fixed one by one. Your body has to heal in a specific order to get your organs and nervous system working correctly again.

The "wait and see" approach is the enemy of recovery. Because these biological repairs take months to manifest, delaying the start of the Scorch Protocol simply pushes your eventual recovery date further into the future.

I have been exactly where you are. I suffered through severe Long Covid and autoimmune issues twice, feeling trapped with no way out. Then I discovered dry fasting and spent years experimenting to unlock its full power. I gamed the system that tried to keep this knowledge hidden, and now I give it back to you freely through the Dry Fasting Club.

That is why I share the core of my Scorch Protocol openly, with detailed guides anyone can access. It combines strategic dry fasting to trigger intense autophagy, burn away damaged cells and DNA, and rebuild with fresh stem cells. It also combines T3 therapy and hGH therapy. You deserve this truth. You deserve to reclaim your body, sharpen your mind, and experience real regeneration.

We all deserve better than scripted suffering. Come join our community, explore the resources, and take the first step toward getting your life back. I am here because I believe in you, and together we can glimpse real freedom.

With care and hope,
Yannick Wolfe
