“…the researchers noted significantly lower-than-normal levels of the amino acids sarcosine, glutamine and serine in the plasma of the long COVID patients.”

“Blood samples show telltale amino acid deficiencies, suggesting readily available supplements have potential as therapy.”

Sarcosine, glycine, and glutamine are all available as supplements from websites like Amazon and Walmart.

I take 1,200 mg of glycine a day and used to take glutamine when doing serious weight workouts. Sarcosine is available, but I have never used it, but it is a byproduct of metabolizing choline, which we get from egg yolks.

It likely wouldn’t take much of any of these to see if they can help someone with long COVID, or even possibly Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, which the researchers believe is potentially the same condition.

If we would just nuke China from space while all of WHO and Fauci are attending a meeting in that country, we likely would end up with a lot less of these man-made viruses damaging and destroying life on the planet.

Infections can sometimes kick in chronic auto-immune problems.

I will give a hint to some of you here who are suffering from what you think is long covid. Ask for a copy of your panoramic Xray from your dentist and make sure you don’t have Eagle syndrome. Many Doctors and Dentists have never heard of it but you can see it on the Xray for many people who have it.

I would also say anyone with tinnitus should also look.
