    I've been suffering from long Covid since 2020. I feel exhausted all the time, stuffy nose every day , labored breathing often, and gastro issues. When I breathe in and out, I exhale. Feels like breathing through a straw. All my tests have been normal.

    Not to take anything away from Dr. Iwasaki's research, but it should at least be mentioned that the four theories around the causes of long covid are the same that the chronic tick borne disease community practitioners have recognized for decades. Give credit where credit is due and look to the chronic lyme doctors for treatment areas worthy of more study.

    • @SL-1985
      @SL-1985 3 месяца назад

      YES! These theories were laughed at by traditional doctors with no background in understanding integrative health and functional medicine. Credit needs to be given where it is due and to all those who were dismissed by conventional medical doctors. Traditional western medicine has no idea how to help people with chronic diseases and often make things worse for a person who tries to get help with a chronic disease. Once diseases and treatments become monetized and have billing coes then you wil see all those traditional medical folks running to these expanations/treatments That is all they care about. Once things become montized and covered by insruance then people will get the most diluted forms of treatment so that it is cost effective to the system. Remeber when things are cost effectve to the sysemt they are passiing the costs of suffering and financial burdes to those who are sick.

    My wife had all the booster shots and took Paxlovid. However, she developed severe allergic reactions to Paxlovid, including severe breathlessness. Despite this, she developed long COVID and is now in her second year of it. She was never hospitalized. Her symptoms started with migrating lower back pain, with inflammation markers rising to 14. Her lower back pain subsided, but she is now suffering from fatigue syndrome and breathlessness.

    I had long Covid and was getting better. The second shot of the Pfizer vaccine (this is when it first came out, and I had almost died when I was actively infected) not only brought back all my symptoms, but I acquired many more symptoms , they were severe, and I am still dealing with the fallout. Basically, I'm semi-disabled. Paxlovid has done nada.

    GREAT discussion! I would love to work with Dr. Iwasaki. Given that spike protein exacerbates clots, plasmapheresis has effectively been used to reduce long COVID symptoms. Then there is an issue with IgG4. I have ideas to reduce that, too, as it is believed that IgG4 is protecting spike-producing cells.

      Long COVID refers to people who developed symptoms that didn't go away after their immune system appeared to clear the virus. They have chronic fatigue, brain fog, enlarged hearts and kidneys, lung problems and an possible an assortment of other lingering symptoms. Scientists are working hard all over the world to understand what is different in the people suffering from this and the similar conditions which existed prior to the pandemic. Those of us who have had our daily lives disrupted by Long COVID are eagerly waiting for reports on news about advances in this area.

      Short covid is the main symptoms, then you recover from those primary symptoms. Long covid is the aftermath of that which continues for about 7% of people. Try not to reduce medical science down to semantics. It's not an argument of words, it's science, facts. Mmk? It's long covid because it's long. Vaccine or not.
