Success Rate Data: The Scorch Protocol Results

This page presents real data from participants who have completed The Scorch Protocol, showing measurable improvements across multiple chronic illness symptoms. All data is based on tracked studies from the Dry Fasting Club. All data is anonymized and aggregated from the participants, all of whom worked 1-on-1 with Yannick Wolfe.

The participant funnel. These 141 are the people who were medically cleared and chose to proceed. Over 100 others were assessed and advised not to attempt the protocol (see below). The 97% describes the 32 who completed the full protocol, T3 and hGH together. The largest group never needed that: they reached partial or full resolution on the deep fast and refeed alone.

Who the Scorch Protocol Is Not For

Over 100 people who came to Yannick were assessed and advised not to attempt the Scorch Protocol. The 141 tracked participants are those who were medically cleared and ready, which is part of why the outcomes look the way they do. This is careful screening, not cherry-picked data.

Medical contraindicationsPeople with heart damage, type 1 diabetes, and a range of other serious conditions were turned away, because deep dry fasting would put them at real risk.
Redirected to metabolic therapySome were advised to focus on metabolic therapy first rather than fasting, as the safer and more appropriate starting point for their situation.
Mindset and readinessOthers were turned away because their headspace or mindset made dry fasting too dangerous to attempt. Fasting at this depth demands the right mental footing, and pushing someone who is not ready can do more harm than good.

Key Findings

97% Success RateAfter completing the full Scorch Protocol (including T3 and hGH therapy), 97% of participants experienced significant improvement in their symptoms.
Symptom TrackingParticipants rated symptoms on a scale of 1-10 (10 being normal/healthy). Most participants started at 5 or lower, with many achieving scores of 9-10 after treatment.
Combined ApproachFor those who go all the way, the combination of dry fasting, T3, and hGH together creates results that cannot be achieved with any of them alone.

Key Symptom Improvement Data

Fatigue, Brain Fog, and Insomnia are among the most common and debilitating symptoms in Long Covid, ME/CFS, and autoimmune conditions. The data shows remarkable improvements through each phase of the protocol. Participants rated symptoms on a scale of 1-10, where 10 represents normal/healthy and 1 represents severe symptoms.

Before Scorch Protocol (141 Participants)

Before starting the protocol, most participants were experiencing severe symptoms:

Fatigue, Brain Fog, and Insomnia levels before Scorch Protocol - 141 participants

Baseline: 141 participants before protocol

After Dry Fast + Water Fast: 10 Days Total (117 Participants)

The transformation after the full fasting block is remarkable:

Most participants stopped here. They were healed enough on the fast and refeed alone, and this largest group tended to be the lower-severity patients, not the most chronically ill. Only the sicker, most-motivated minority continued to T3 and hGH (next section).

Fatigue, Brain Fog, and Insomnia levels after 10-day fast (5 dry + 5 water) - 117 participants

After 10-day fast (5 dry + 5 water): 117 participants

After T3 + hGH Therapy (32 Participants)

For those who continued to the full T3 and hGH protocol, the results are exceptional:

Fatigue, Brain Fog, and Insomnia levels after T3 and hGH therapy - 32 participants

After T3 + hGH Therapy: 32 participants (97% success rate)

Summary: The Transformation

Before ProtocolMost participants (25-28%) rated their symptoms at level 1 (most severe), with the majority scoring 5 or lower across Fatigue, Brain Fog, and Insomnia.
After Dry + Water Fast (10 Days)A dramatic shift occurred: 30-35% of participants reached level 10 (normal/healthy) for each symptom, with many others achieving levels 8-9.
After T3 + hGH TherapyFor those who continued, over 40% reached level 10 for Fatigue, and over 50% reached level 10 for Brain Fog and Insomnia. 97% experienced significant improvement.

Important Notes About the Data

Sample SizeSample sizes naturally decrease as participants progress through the protocol. This is because many participants feel significantly better after earlier phases and consider themselves healed, or face financial/time constraints.
Most Motivated ParticipantsThe participants who complete the full protocol tend to be those who are much sicker and really motivated to heal. This self-selection means the data represents those with more severe cases.
T3 AvailabilitySome participants dropped out due to difficulty obtaining T3, especially slow-release T3. This is why chronic-illness.st was created to help patients access necessary medications. (Previously chronic-illness.ca — the site has recently migrated.)

What This Means For You

The data shows that The Scorch Protocol offers real hope for those suffering from Long Covid, ME/CFS, autoimmune conditions, and other chronic illnesses. The combination of:

...creates a powerful healing cascade that addresses the root causes of chronic illness, not just the symptoms.
