I did not have long covid. Rather I talked with a many many people who did have long covid and reviewed a lot of research. There’s 80-90 footnotes for a 60 page book. What I learned is that there is no one size fits all. Why? People who get long covid generally have compromised immune systems due to chronic diseases or autoimmune diseases, or they’re carrying too much weight or they’re diabetic or prediabetic. They may be carrying old viruses in their bodies or they live with household mold. All these things degrade the immune system. The long covid hits the parts of their body that are most vulnerable.
As we get older a whole pharmacy of molecules that were with us when we were young—begin to degrade and go away. All of the things that I mentioned above accelerate that process.
NAC Glycine and Taurine. These all decline with age and they decline even more steeply in the presence of the problems mentioned above. Long covid nearly wipes them out. NAC and glycine create glutathione —which helps repair cells damaged by pollution, stress and other harmful influences.
The human body uses taurine for actions in cells. One example is that taurine is used for energy production. Taurine also helps the body process bile acid and balance fluids, salts and minerals, among other actions.
I mentioned extended release niacin, niacinamide and TMD. All these together increase NAD+ which the molecule that enables your body to make ATP. ATP to your body is what gasoline is to your car. NAD+ declines with age. Various maladies mentioned above—reduce it further. Long covid wipes it out.
These are all helpful treatments. Try them. You’ll find they are beneficial. But they’re not enough. Rather what you do is layer one kind of treatment on top of another. The book shows all the treatments that people have found to be successful.
You have to get your eating right. You can’t the the SAD american diet anymore. But first you have to test to see if you have histamine intolerances for certain foods. This may not be the case but you have to test.
You have to lower stress. If you have outbursts of long covid that totally jackknife you—then you have to figure out the level of stress that set off the symptoms. Why? Because stress sets off the symptoms. Most watches these days have tools that allow you to measure your stress level. So you figure out what stress level sets off the symptoms and you stay below that stress level.
There are bunch more things you can do. The book lists them.
