The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports that one in 13 U.S. adults experience symptoms lasting three or more months after first contracting COVID-19 ... most often seen in patients over 65 years old with pre-existing medical conditions.
“This may be the result of worsening of one or more known conditions, but also may stem from altered immune responses,” Dr. Richard Becker of the Division of Cardiovascular Health and Disease at the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine, told The Epoch Times.
“In our experience treating over 500 patients with PCC,” said Becker, who also runs the UC Davis Health Post-COVID-19 Clinic, “The most common symptoms {of Long COVID} are fatigue, post-exercise exhaustion, shortness of breath, and chest pain.” Studies also show that brain fog and loss of taste or smell are also commonly seen among these patients.

According to Teitelbaum, if it’s a heart problem, there is a mix of nutrients that increase cardiac efficiency and can “markedly” improve cardiac function and stamina. These nutrients include a high-dose B-complex with magnesium, D-Ribose, coenzyme Q10, and other herbs and nutrients, as he recommends on his website.
Lung and other inflammation resulting from COVID may be helped with curcumin, Boswellia (frankincense), and glutathione.
Brain Fog
Nearly one-third of post-COVID patients will experience cognitive impairment called “brain fog,” that can seriously impair memory and executive functioning. However, there are currently no FDA-approved treatments for this condition.
In November, researchers from Yale Medical School published a case study showing guanfacine (used for treating blood pressure {and ADHD}) and the antioxidant N-acetylcysteine (NAC) reduced the cognitive deficits (brain fog) associated with long COVID in eight out of 12 patients. According to the study authors, both substances may work together to reduce inflammation in the brain and spinal cord.
