The Wolverine Protocol is for people whose labs may be called normal but whose margin has shrunk. A hard week lingers. A joint that used to be quiet is now the thing they plan around. It’s considered only when foundational care is already underway. If a biologic isn’t the right call, you’ll hear that, and leave with another direction.
What the visit looks like
- Talk. Goals, history, medications and exclusions, with risks and alternatives documented.
- Check. First infusions need a CBC and metabolic panel from the last 90 days, and vitals in a safe range.
- Infuse. About 30–40 minutes, in its own saline bag.
- Watch. Vitals mid-infusion and 15 minutes of observation after.
A finite schedule
About every 12 weeks, and not sooner than six unless your physician directs otherwise. NSAIDs and curcumin are paused for several days before and two weeks after; steroids for two weeks on either side.
Bring your goals, medications and recent labs. You’ll get a written recommendation: which biologic, how often, or why not.
