The Scorch Protocol is not one-size-fits-all. The right entry point depends on your specific clinical profile: basal body temperature, illness duration, symptom severity, and which other conditions are layered on top. This decision tree walks through the protocol entry options and the signals that point to each.
The single most common sequencing question in the Scorch Protocol is whether to start with dry fasting (the standard sequence) or T3 therapy first (the modified sequence for severely depleted patients). The answer depends almost entirely on a single variable: basal body temperature. This article covers the threshold and the reasoning.
Filonov spent 30 years building extended dry fasting into a clinical protocol that works for most patient cohorts. So why do so many Long Covid and ME/CFS patients feel amazing for six months on the Russian protocol and then watch their symptoms come quietly back? This article explains the structural gap, and what to do about it if you have already done the fast.
