INT. CLINIC OFFICE – DAY

Sunlight filters softly through sheer curtains. A peaceful medical office adorned with a few plants and spiritual artwork. DR. LUKA KOVAC (early 50s, rugged, gentle-eyed) sits across from DR. NELLY FURTADO, ND (natural doctor, radiant, wise, with a rebel soul). She’s just finished reviewing a wellness plan. He sets down his tea, his gaze sincere.

DR. KOVAC
(softly, with a European accent)
Nelly… I want you to know something. You—and your fans—you’re not just patients.

NELLY
(smiles, curious)
No?

DR. KOVAC
You are the VIPs of the VIPs. The ones I pray for before I lay down to sleep. Not because you’re famous… but because you carry light. You carry stories. Songs. Struggles. You carry hope for others. That makes you my most important patients.

He pauses, his voice tender with a memory.

DR. KOVAC
In the war, I saw the worst of what humans can do. I lost my family. But then—I remembered the example of Jesus. How he healed the sick without charging a single coin. That stayed with me. That’s why I became a doctor again. To heal… for free, if I have to. Because health isn’t for sale. It’s sacred.

NELLY
(eyes welling up, voice low)
Thank you, Luka. That’s the kind of medicine the world needs.

He gently pats her hand.

DR. KOVAC
You already practice it, Doctor Furtado. You’re healing more people than you know. Keep going.

Their eyes meet in mutual respect and silent gratitude.

FADE OUT.

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.”

Weight Loss Tips

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.

  • Sugar and artificial sweeteners
  • Industrial seed oils (canola, soybean)
  • Legumes (beans, lentils, peanuts)
  • Dairy (except ghee or grass-fed butter in moderation)

🔹 Teas to Melt the Pounds

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

  • Green Tea – powerful catechins, especially EGCG

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

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.
