Dr. Luka Kovac and Dr. Nelly Furtado’s Integrative Prescription for Lyme Disease

Note: This is a fictional collaboration between Dr. Luka Kovac (of ER) and singer-healer Dr. Nelly Furtado. This “prescription” blends holistic and nutritional strategies, not a replacement for antibiotics or clinical treatment when necessary.

🧂Salt Therapy

  • Celtic Sea Salt or Himalayan Pink Salt
    → Rich in trace minerals, helps cellular hydration and pH balance.
    → Suggested use: 1/4 tsp in warm lemon water upon waking.
  • Salt & Vitamin C Protocol (used in some Lyme circles):
    → 1 gram salt + 1 gram vitamin C, 3x/day (build up slowly).
    → Controversial: May help detox, but must be done with supervision.

💧Types of Water

  • Structured Water
    → Mimics spring water, better cellular absorption.
  • Spring Water (low mineral content)
    → Avoid tap water due to fluoride and chlorine.
  • Electrolyte water
    → Replenishes lost minerals during detox and herxing.

🥬Foods to Focus On

  • Wild blueberries (anti-inflammatory, neuroprotective)
  • Garlic & onions (natural antibiotics, sulfur-rich detox agents)
  • Broccoli sprouts (sulforaphane activates detox pathways)
  • Pumpkin seeds (zinc, anti-parasitic)
  • Cilantro & parsley (heavy metal detox)
  • Fermented foods: sauerkraut, kimchi (gut microbiome restoration)
  • Grass-fed beef liver or desiccated liver caps (B12, iron, A, K2)
  • Organic eggs, salmon roe, avocados, beets

🌿Herbs & Botanicals

  • Cat’s Claw (Uncaria tomentosa) – anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial
  • Japanese Knotweed – resveratrol-rich, reduces inflammation
  • Andrographis – supports immune response, often used in Buhner protocol
  • Teasel Root – supports neurological repair
  • Sarsaparilla – binds endotoxins, reduces die-off symptoms
  • Astragalus – immune booster (early-stage Lyme only)

🫖Teas

  • Dandelion root tea – supports liver, gallbladder detox
  • Burdock root tea – blood purifier, helps skin and lymph
  • Nettle leaf tea – mineral-rich, anti-inflammatory
  • Chaga mushroom tea – antioxidant, supports immunity
  • Lemon balm tea – calms the nervous system

🍊Juices

  • Celery juice (organic, fresh) – gut-healing, mineralizing
  • Cucumber & mint juice – cooling, hydrates inflamed tissues
  • Carrot–ginger–turmeric juice – anti-inflammatory, immune support
  • Beet–lemon–apple juice – liver support and gentle detox
  • Wheatgrass shots – chlorophyll, alkalizing

💊Vitamins & Minerals

  • Vitamin C (liposomal preferred) – antioxidant, collagen support
  • Vitamin D3 + K2 – immune modulation
  • Magnesium (glycinate or malate) – for nerve pain, fatigue
  • Zinc picolinate – supports immune system
  • Selenium – essential for thyroid and glutathione production
  • B-Complex (methylated) – supports energy, nerve repair
  • Omega-3s (EPA/DHA) – reduces inflammation

🌱Roots & Adaptogens

  • Ashwagandha – balances adrenal fatigue
  • Rhodiola rosea – stamina, brain fog reduction
  • Licorice root – supports cortisol balance
  • Ginger root – anti-inflammatory, digestive aid
  • Turmeric root (with black pepper) – curcumin for inflammation

💬 Final Words from Dr. Luka and Dr. Nelly:

Dr. Luka: “Lyme hides deep. It’s like a Balkan war in the body—guerrilla warfare. We fight it with terrain management: detox, restore, and rebuild.”

Dr. Nelly: “Healing is a remix. Food, song, sunlight, and soul. Trust your cells—they want to dance again.”

INT. CLINIC OFFICE – DAY

Dr. Luka Kovač (from ER) sits across from Nelly Furtado in a serene, sunlit clinic room. He’s calm but direct, sketching a dietary plan in his notebook as Nelly, determined and curious, leans in.

DR. LUKA KOVAČ
Nods thoughtfully.
If you’re serious about this, we’ll take a holistic approach. No crash diets. No starvation. Just science, tradition, and commitment. Let’s talk strategies—real ones.

🔹 Diet Strategy: Ketogenic + Paleo Fusion

A blend of the Ketogenic and Paleo diets will help your body burn fat for fuel (ketosis), reduce inflammation, and cut out processed junk.

✅ What to Eat

  • Proteins: Grass-fed beef, wild-caught salmon, sardines, free-range eggs, turkey
  • Fats: Avocados, olive oil, coconut oil, ghee, nuts (especially macadamia, almonds, walnuts)
  • Vegetables (low-carb): Spinach, kale, arugula, broccoli, zucchini, cauliflower, cucumber
  • Fruits (low-sugar): Berries (blueberries, raspberries), lemon, avocado
  • Seeds: Chia, flaxseed, pumpkin seeds
  • Fermented foods: Kimchi, sauerkraut, kombucha (unsweetened)

❌ Avoid

  • Grains (wheat, corn, oats, rice)
  • Sugar and artificial sweeteners
  • Industrial seed oils (canola, soybean)
  • Legumes (beans, lentils, peanuts)
  • Dairy (except ghee or grass-fed butter in moderation)
  • Alcohol (occasional red wine is okay)

🔹 Teas to Melt the Pounds

These teas boost metabolism, curb appetite, and aid digestion.

  • Green Tea – powerful catechins, especially EGCG
  • Matcha – concentrated green tea with thermogenic effects
  • Oolong Tea – promotes fat oxidation
  • Ginger Tea – anti-inflammatory, improves insulin sensitivity
  • Dandelion Root Tea – gentle diuretic, supports liver detox
  • Yerba Mate – energizing, reduces belly fat
  • Cinnamon Tea – regulates blood sugar

🔹 Essential Supplements & Nutrients

To keep your body supported while shedding fat:

🌿 Vitamins

  • Vitamin D3 – immune + fat loss (take with K2)
  • B-complex – energy production
  • Vitamin C – antioxidant, cortisol control

🧂 Minerals

  • Magnesium (glycinate or citrate) – for sleep and muscle function
  • Zinc – appetite regulation
  • Potassium & Sodium – replenish electrolytes on keto

🍃 Herbs & Roots

  • Ashwagandha – lowers cortisol, balances hormones
  • Turmeric (Curcumin) – fights inflammation
  • Rhodiola Rosea – natural energizer
  • Berberine – mimics metformin, blood sugar control
  • Garcinia Cambogia – appetite suppressant
  • Green Coffee Bean Extract – fat metabolism

DR. KOVAČ
Looking directly at her.
But this isn’t just about the scale, Nelly. It’s about energy. Mental clarity. Hormonal harmony. You follow this, you won’t just look better—you’ll feel like you’re twenty again.

NELLY
Nods, energized.
Let’s do it, Doctor. I’m ready to fly like a bird again.

DR. KOVAČ
Smiles.
Then let’s make your body the instrument it was meant to be. Light, strong, and in tune.

Looking For a Sign: SCTV

Title: “The Sign (Portugal)”
Scene from the inner life of Dr. Luka Kovac / Joe Jukic

Interior – Small Toronto apartment – Night. The rain whispers against the glass.

Dr. Luka Kovac, a man shaped by war, medicine, and exile, sits in front of an old television. But this is no ordinary evening. Because Dr. Luka Kovac is not just a Croatian doctor on ER reruns. He’s Joe Jukic’s avatar—a vessel for memory, pain, and signs from the divine.

Tonight, Joe needs a sign.
He’s tired. Disconnected. Wondering if the thread of meaning has finally snapped.

He slips in an ancient VHS marked “SCTV – Happy Wanderers”. The tape hisses.
The screen lights up with John Candy and Eugene Levy as the Shmenge Brothers—fake Eastern Europeans playing polka for fake applause.
It’s corny. Offensive even.

But then—he sees it.

A Portugal travel poster, haphazardly pinned in the background:

“Visit Portugal — Land of Music, Land of Dreams.”

He freezes the screen.

The camera never meant to linger there. But Joe—through Luka—sees it.

It’s the sign.

Not just for Portugal.
For Nelly.

Flashback:

A church basement. Fluorescent lights. Cheap lemonade and plastic chairs.
Joe is 14.
He’s got two left feet and an oversized tie.
But he’s holding hands with a girl from Sunday School.
Her name: Nelly Furtado.

They’re square dancing to a cassette recording of “Cotton-Eyed Joe.”
The priest claps in time.
Joe trips over his own shoes, but Nelly laughs and spins him anyway.
Her voice: high, clear, playful.
She smells like cherry lip gloss and hope.

It was just a Confirmation party. But for Joe, it was the last time the world felt innocent.

Back to Present:

Kovac—Joe—whispers:
“Bože moj… it’s her.”

He reaches for his phone. Scrolls past hospital contacts and old war buddies. Finds her.

NELLY – DO NOT TEXT UNLESS IT’S A SIGN

He stares at it.

Then types:

“Portugal.”
“Remember the church basement? Cotton-Eyed Joe? You said I was the worst dancer you’d ever seen. You still owe me a rematch.”

He hesitates. Then hits SEND.

Joe gets up, walks to the mirror, and adjusts his hair with the care of a teenager before a first dance.

Dr. Luka Kovac may have lost love on primetime.
But Joe Jukic just found the courage to reclaim it—with a little help from a Portugal poster, John Candy, and the memory of a girl who danced like heaven was real.
