Re: Long Covid?
Thank you for this great response!
"Long COVID is virtually identical to CFS/ME/Fibro so looking on sites like HealthRising and PhoenixRising which can provide some information and help"
Thank you I will check them.
I already had CFS, I have MCS/EI and am a mold survivor (still infected)
What gets me is this is different - last year I was working on building up my walks again - longer and longer.
with Long Covid - it makes me sicker "back to square one".
That's what really gets me - the "flaring"
"it is simply about the bodies detox and antioxidant capabilities being driven over the limit after which the body cannot recover."
This is huge, and learning ab out this lately I am now taking niacin and seen improvements in my health I haven't for years..
I am looking into orthomolecular nutrition now on this one.
I find niacin important, and NAD
thiamin
and also vitamin A
...what else am I missing?
b-complex of course in general.
I need to look into antioxidants. Obviously it's slammed. They are expensive - how best to remedy? Thanks!!!
I am also taking artemesia annua. I had taken it in January when first sick, then stopped. It helped. I started again. It seems to help, I'm not sure why. Nor how much to take, or for how long.
"pathogenic infection in the digestive system"
'
parasites love the gut' - as there is always more food there than anywhere else in the body :(
..and for my case, I have had IBD many years (probably crohns) (I use SCD to stabilize, gratefully)
"biofilm protected" I have been worried about this for years. I used to take an enzyme on an empty stomach and fast, and feel it break stuff down. I had to stop for lack of $. Any good biofilm approach suggestions? Thanks!!
Thank you for the study link, I am glad to look.
Overall, what do you think the best remedial approach is? Thanks!!!
The vitamins are improving me, but still, if I go out - I am back to square one. My GI symptoms flare, and I have extreme (beriberi like) fatigue for days, bedridden unable to move much at all.
It behaves as if I am still infected - as if I went out somewhere with a high fever foolishly and "got slammed" when I got home for days. Yet no fever.
Interesting lab studies showing the crown protein on blood cells. Question is - why are some humans processing them out, and others struggling? What can be done to restore the immune / detox systems etc for the body to normalize itself?
...so frustrating that some recover, some don't - and not sure why, or what to do.
Thanks so much for the great reply!! :)
