WHAT WE KNOW FOR CERTAIN ABOUT SHEDDINGIt was known in 2020 when I read the Pfizer protocol for the EUA trial. I knew it was when I mentioned it on Twitter and got instaban and sent to TWITMO pic.twitter.com/CcnV0kCMwJ

1. Shedding is very real (e.g., each of those datasets is congruent with the others), and many of the stories of those affected by it are very sad.
2. People’s sensitivity to it dramatically varies.
3. Most of the people who are sensitive to shedding have already figured it out.
4. Mechanistically, shedding is very difficult to explain. However, now that new evidence has emerged, a much stronger case can be made for the mechanisms I initially proposed a year ago.
SYMPTOMS OF SHEDDING
1st Most common symptom of shedding is unusual and disrupted menstrual bleeding (which is also the most common COVID vaccine injury).
2nd Most Common symptom: Headaches, flu-like illnesses, nosebleeds, fatigue, rashes, tinnitus, sinus or nasal issues, and shingles. Other less frequent symptoms are also repeatedly seen (e.g., palpitations, herpes outbreaks, and hair loss).
More severe issues (e.g., cancers or heart attacks) also occurred, but these were much rarer than what you saw in the vaccine injured population, again suggesting shedding was primarily an external reaction.
DMSO TO THE RESCUE?
Interestingly, most of the (fairly varied) shedding symptoms overlap with the conditions DMSO treats (e.g., strokes), suggesting that DMSO’s key mechanisms of action (e.g., increasing blood flow, eliminating large and small blood clots, being highly anti-inflammatory, and rescuing cells from the cell danger response) are the exact opposite of what shedding does to the body.
IS ISOLATION FROM SOCIETY THE BEST TREATMENT FROM SHEDDERS?
readers here have reported significant improvements from avoiding shedders—which sadly in some cases has required the more sensitive individuals to isolate themselves from society.
HOW LONG DO THE EFFECTS OF SHEDDING LAST, AN HOUR OR A LIFETIME?
3. In the majority of cases, the effects of shedding are temporary and go away, but in a subset of people, they can last for months if not years.
DO SHEDDERS HAVE DISTINCTIVE SMELLS?
The labels I’ve seen used to describe the smell are as follows (with those in bold being the ones more commonly reported): “mild sickly sweet,” “rotting [or dying] flesh,” “magnetic onion,” “unpleasant,” “distinctive,” “the smell of death,” “medicines plus latrines,” “musty,” “musty plus rancid” “dead animal,” “a decomposing body,” “road kill,” “putrid meat,” “like ammonia but not as strong,” “sweet,” “sour stomach” “elderly person as their flesh breaks down with age,” “a chemical flu smell” “of seaweed,” “putrid,” “sweet meat” “strange and metallic” “sharp, pungent and toxic” “horrible” “unique odor” “chemical,” “sharp chemical,” “vinegar,” “sour,” “subtle like a pheromone,” “chemical floral,” “foul and sweet,” “acid smell,” “similar to smell chemotherapy patients have,” “horrendous breath,” “overpowering.”
DOGS CAN SMELL SHEDDERS
Given that dogs can detect COVID-19 infections with a high degree of accuracy (e.g., one study found they could spot it in sweat samples from infected individuals two days earlier than PCR tests and with a 97% accuracy), dogs could most likely also easily be trained to detect shedders.
