From the few people I've helped heal, I already know that long covid manifests differently in many people. I don't look at it as a one size fits all problem, and neither can the solution.
Dry fasting in itself is an overarching panacea, but even it is not enough to fully exterminate long covid. Different deficiencies occur when different pre-existing conditions come into play. Without covering these through nutrition and the correct supplements, you'll be stuck in the mud.
Dry fasting will seal damages done to organs and the body, but it can't do everything. There is a current theory that "spike" and viral debris attach to cellular synapses and that dislodging them is key.
Once dislodged you need the correct food and body state to bind and remove. Another theory talks about viral reservoirs, and lactate as a source of energy that the virus uses to skyrocket its multiplication. These all make a lot of sense. I take into consideration 5 key theories and apply a strategy to target whichever one I believe best matches the long hauler.
Doctor assumes pre-existing vulnerabilities set the stage for Covid complications
I recently visited my primary care physician (PCP) for a routine follow-up unrelated to Long COVID (LC), or so I thought. We started discussing my LC, and my doctor mentioned that he has other patients with LC as well.
Curious, I asked, "Are you seeing a lot of LC?"
He replied, "I see many patients with symptoms that persist beyond the acute phase, but they usually resolve within a year. Your case is unique."
Intrigued, I inquired if he had other patients like me experiencing neurological issues. He mentioned that he has two other patients with ongoing cardiac and pulmonary issues, respectively, but I was the only one with symptoms lasting over a year.
My doctor then shared an observation: "The patient with cardiac issues had preexisting heart problems, the one with pulmonary issues had preexisting asthma, and you have a history of neurological issues."
Indeed, I realized that all of my pre-COVID health concerns were neurological in nature, such as cluster headaches, anxiety, and panic attacks. My doctor suggested that COVID might target vulnerabilities, and in my case, I was neurologically vulnerable.
Although this isn't a groundbreaking medical discovery, it was a personal revelation. I'm curious to know if others have had similar experiences. Could it be that your Long COVID symptoms align with your preexisting vulnerabilities?
