This has been going on for over 3 years. Unfortunately long haulers are getting red pilled into understanding how the medical system works. Doctors are not superheroes who are smarter than you and really care. It's a job. They spent extra time in school to learn about the body and medical literature, but nothing about nutrition, nothing about treating root causes of illnesses, and nothing about thinking outside the box.
So LDN is one of the front runners for effective medicines for long covid, no need to beat around the bush. Run any AI research tool and it's always in the top 10 of medications mentioned that has helped to some degree. LDN is low dose naltrexone. It's prescribed off label for long haulers, similarly to ivermectin, beta blockers, etc. Most people don't know that LDN is a migratory muscle complex stimulator, so it is prescribed extensively by SIBO and IBS specialists. Watch this video to see why it helps for Long covid. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rxSc5zEt2oM or read this article: /podcast/ibs-sibo-fasting-and-the-migrating-motor-complex The only problem is that this is only a band-aid for certain gut issues and parasympathetic nervous system stabilization, and it's not a cure-all.
I'm running some LDN experiments with some of the braver long hauling dry fasters who I'm helping. I think it's another short cut to healing faster and a relapse inhibitor. Findings coming soon.
Everyone keeps ascribing time as the main component of healing. You can't deny it, but it irks me to no end. It's not time. It's your body's autophagic and healing mechanisms. Some people actually heal, they don't know what causes it so they call it time. Some people get worse, they don't know what causes it, so they say there's no cure. The difference is usually that the people who heal over time either had a lower viral load or it didn't attack their organs as aggressively, which in turn didn't deplete their immune system as fully. On top of that, that means they start from a better position of the body healing itself, it's still dependant on nutritional deficiencies, mitochondrial health, and autophagy. If you're not in a downward spiral or damaged beyond a certain threshold, then yes, you can wait it out while you make sure your deficiencies are attended to and you will slowly improve. Will you return to 100%? Highly doubtful. This is either a thing for life, or your one shot is perfecting dry fasting and its different stages for healing.
Yes, and see paragraph above.
It's quite clear for anecdotal evidence, and my own experiences that once your body breaks to the spike protein overload, you always teeter on the edge and each reinfection can be the one to put you over. If you don't have dry fasting in your back pocket, along with some relapse inhibitors like ivermectin, nicotine, LDN, melatonin, and magnesium - then you are risking everything. People like to think that once they recover that's that. I highly disagree.
Final words. I really truly believe that dry fasting is the most powerful cure known to mankind. We need to let evolutionary mechanisms take control. Scientifically we already know the additional mechanisms in dry fasting make it much stronger and more curative than a water fast. Yes, it may be tougher initially, and you can't go as long, but i'll be damned if I don't choose a dry fast over a water fast any day.
