Dr. Bryan Ardis: Reversing Just About Any Disease with Nicotine

Dr. Bryan Ardis continues to bring forth new information that nicotine can act as an antidote for many various diseases. As I wrote about here, nicotine patches knocked a lengthy stint of long-covid out of my system very quickly, so this is worth bringing back up.

Dr. Ardis first explains how we’ve been tricked into believing that nicotine is harmful when, in fact, nicotine can halt, and even reverse many pretty dreadful diseases. Dr. Ardis is ALWAYS fascinating, and he brings receipts with historical medical proof.

Listen from minute 5:00 to 26:00 if you only have a few minutes now, and come back and finish the rest later. I believe this can be vastly helpful to anyone who just can’t seem to get well!

From 49:50, Dr. Ardis talks about how to take nicotine, dosages, what brands may be best, how the body responds, etc.

These claims are taken from the book A HISTORY OF THE MEDICINAL USE OF TOBACCO 1492–1860, published by Cambridge University Press:

Dr. Bryan Ardis: Reversing Just About Any Disease with Nicotine
From the video above. List of noted doctors and and their observations nicotine throughout history from 1500 – 1749.

Video timeline notes:

17:44 -22:00: Nicotine for cancers and cancerous growths, obesity and hunger regulation, and more.

26:40- 28:30: “chickenpox and tetanus” cured by tobacco… smallpox, also.

31:20- 33:45: Rockefeller’s discredited nicotine in 1910 (using the Flexner Report). “Nicotine is 4 times more anti-inflammatory than NSAIDs (Tylenol, Advil, ibuprofen)”. “Inflammation of joints is cured by nicotine.”  Nicotine patches could replace prednisone for rheumatoid arthritis.

34:40: The Rockefeller effort to taint healthy natural tobacco products with toxins to essentially make a century long campaign against tobacco which actually resulted in massive numbers of deaths.

35:35: In 2016, Harvard published an FDA document listing the 599 toxic additives they allowed to be added to tobacco products, yet they only identified nicotine in these products.

50:00: Dosage, products, patching, lozenges, etc.

And so much more.

Nicotine’s broad list of healing plant chemicals and their biological activities.

Long before Europeans colonized the Americas, Indigenous peoples understood tobacco as a sacred medicine. The distinction between the sacred or ceremonial use of tobacco and commercial use is critical to understanding nicotine’s therapeutic potential.

Traditional tobacco contains natural compounds in their pure form, without the hundreds of chemical additives found in modern cigarettes that create addiction and cause cancer. (source)

The Neuroscience of Nicotine

Modern research is beginning to validate what Indigenous peoples already know: nicotine possesses unique neuroprotective and cognitive-enhancing properties. Nicotine works by binding to receptors in the brain called “nicotinic acetylcholine receptors.” These receptors are important in learning, memory, attention, and neuroprotection.

Matter of fact, the body is full of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs). God put them there for a reason!

When nicotine activates brain receptors, it sets off a chain reaction. Receptors known as α7 receptors allow calcium to flow into neurons, which triggers a cellular pathway that also gets activated by brain chemicals that help neurons stay alive and healthy. This causes the cell to make protective proteins that act like shields, preventing brain cells from dying when they’re under stress or attack. (source)

Evidence Under Testimony that Nicotine Is Not Addictive

In 1994, seven heads of the major Tobacco companies swore on oath before Congress, that nicotine is not addictive. University of California (UCSF) put out an article at the time titled: Tobacco CEO’s Statement to Congress 1994 News Clip: “Nicotine is not addictive.”

A 2015 Harvard study confirmed that nicotine is not addictive on its own, rather it’s the Pyrazines that are added that make it addictive.

Promising Research in Parkinson’s Disease

According to Psychology Today Neuroscience, “One of the most exciting areas of nicotine research involves Parkinson’s disease. Studies have consistently shown that (nicotine only) smokers have a significantly reduced risk of developing Parkinson’s disease.”

The potential for nicotine therapy extends beyond Parkinson’s to Alzheimer’s disease and other neurodegenerative diseases. A study performed at Vanderbilt University Medical Center showed that nicotine can improve attention, memory, and cognitive processing in both healthy individuals and those with mild cognitive impairment. The improvements appear to be more pronounced in individuals carrying the APOE4 gene variant, which increases Alzheimer’s risk.

Chronic inflammation in the brain contributes to all neurodegenerative diseases, and nicotine’s ability to reduce inflammation may explain many of its protective effects. 

Nicotine has also showed promise as a treatment for depression, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, Tourette’s, and schizophrenia.

Unlike tobacco smoke, pure nicotine does NOT contain carcinogens and is already approved for smoking cessation. Nicotine appears to be safe when used according to directions. Side-effects are generally mild (if any) and may include skin irritation from patches, slight sleep disturbances, and occasional nausea as toxins come out of the body (herxing), so starting with 1 mg patches prevents this.

(Dr. Ardis discusses this in the video starting around 50:00.)

Dr. Ardis Suggested Forms of Nicotine with links:

Dr. Ardis discourages the use of conventional tobacco products due to their toxic additives, focusing instead on clean, controlled nicotine sources.

• Dr. Ardis currently doesn’t recommend nicotine gums because they almost all contain toxic ingredients such as asulfame potassium (similar to aspartame), hydroxytoluene, and artificial flavors.

• Nicotine patches: Check out Why I Now Use Nicotine Patches, But Have Never Smoked!

• Check out This Post for Recommended Patches, Doses & Directions For Use For Prevention, Long-Haulers COVID Sufferers, and for C-19 Vaccine-Injured.

Dr. Bryan Ardis: Reversing Just About Any Disease with Nicotine

• Nic-Nac nicotine lozenges, which we also used, but I don’t care for them. I prefer the xylitol unsweetened lozenge (which is the cleanest lozenge I can find). The blood-orange is way too strong for me. DO NOT chew them – follow the directions closely.

• Organic, additive-free tobacco chewed (used conscientiously, not recreationally) or for use as a foot bath. He tells how to reverse arrhythmias here:

“This research reminds us to approach traditional medicines with respect and scientific curiosity rather than dismissal. It seems that the peoples, who first recognized tobacco’s healing properties and respected it, understood something that allopathic medicine is only now starting to appreciate: that compounds found in nature often possess both the potential for harm as well as the possibility of life-changing healing.” (source)

I have often pondered this verse:

“If you will diligently listen to the voice of the Lord your God, and do that which is right in his eyes, and give ear to his commandments and keep all his statutes, I will put none of the diseases on you that I put on the Egyptians, for I am the Lord, your healer.” ~Exodus 15:26

Hi! I’m Jacqueline!

Thanks for being part of this journey with me.
Welcome to my own little place on the internet! Home is where I love to be. I feel there is no greater place to incubate souls. These days you’ll find me using my experiences here to write about herbal remedies and natural health research — a big passion of mine. But being a wife and mother is not easy. It is challenging and potentially lonely. I get that. I wanted to create a place to connect with and support other moms for creating a natural, healthy, and fulfilling home life.

    So if nicotine is beneficial, does that mean organic tobacco products that have no additives would be safe to use? It’s my understanding that nicotine is found in tobacco naturally. I have family members that smoke and was wandering if these organic tobacco products would be a better choice. When I do research I get the ‘nicotine is addictive’ and ‘all tobacco smoke has carcinogens’ response, the fear mongering responses used to possibly steer one away from organic tobacco products with no additives. Didn’t the native Americans smoke their tobacco?
    I am hoping for a better alternative to present to them other than name brand cancer causing cigarettes. I would appreciate your opinion if you are willing to give it. 🙂

      Yes, Lyn, natural, non sprayed (ie. organic) nicotine leaves are non toxic and not addictive. Anecdotally, when we wore the patches for our long-COVID a couple years ago, when we were much better, we didn’t feel the slightest draw to continue the patches or pick up a cigarette. Native Indians used it ceremonially and were not addicted by it. I believe the claims of “addictive” is a lie.. I think some of the online sources feel they have to state that to keep the FDA off their backs. This may be really helpful to go deeper: https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/the-leading-edge/202506/the-hidden-healing-power-of-nicotine

      PS I added hat source to the post!

      The American FDA nevertheless persisted in the lie that nicotine is addictive.

      A Harvard study of 2015 confirmed that nicotine is not addictive, rather it’s the Pyrazines that are added that make it addictive. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4941150/

        Excellent, thank you for your response and the links. The nicotine patches used to help smokers quit seem to be a psychological trick. I assume as one stops smoking and uses the patch, the real culprit that no longer is participated in weans the smoker from the addiction.
        I will use this info to inform family members, thank you 😊

      Sandra, I do not know of a nicotine tincture that I can recommend. Also, there is the matter of finding the right dosage equivalent to, say, a 3mg. patch.

    A friend was just diagnosed with SCA. With nicotine benefit her in the long run they say there’s no cure for SCA right now.

      Deb, in my opinion, nicotine patches likely will not help.
      Neurological issues are often the results of chronic toxic exposures, but not always as in the genetic cases of SCA.
      However, with a genetic cause, toxicity may make it worse, and there are some things that might help off load heavy metal toxins like gadolinium (from MRIs) which I am sure your friend has had a bunch of: https://deeprootsathome.com/gadolinium-mri-dye-a-heavy-metal-that-insults-your-body/
      Also, mercury from amalgams, toxins from past vaccines and medical drugs, chemicals in food, etc. If your friend were my child or parent, I would do a 6-9 month clinoptilolite zeolite detox with TRS. TRS is the best clinoptilolite product, again, in my opinion. This post lists some of the positive studies: https://deeprootsathome.com/why-zeolite-is-so-good-for-cleaning-up-the-body/
      For neuroprotection in your friend’s case, it should prove invaluable with regular use as he/she ages and the condition worsens. I cannot guarantee that, but I have worked with families for over 8 years and when consistently used, we have seen some truly amazing progress.
      If you keep reading that post I linked to all the way to the end, you will see over 30 anecdotal stories of what i am talking about.

      I would also pair it with DMSO for its helpful effects on the brain: https://deeprootsathome.com/dmso-could-help-millions-with-brain-and-spinal-injury-arthritis/
      I hope that gives some encouragement and insight.
