![Lp. Сердце Вселенной #60 РОЖДЕНИЕ ЛОЛОЛОШКИ [Финал] • Майнкрафт](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/YoR0pAV9FVQ/mqdefault.jpg)
I had Long COVID for 4 months last year and was out of work for 9 months. One of my symptoms not enumerated in the Mayo Clinic bulletin was extreme shortness of breath. Had fatigue, extreme brain fog, difficulty sleeping, upset stomach, loss of balance, pins and needles in the limbs. Therre were days I thought I'll never wake up. Then there are days when I don't want to wake up. It took a lot of effirt to get even a quarter of my strength back. Glad it's being acknowledged widely now as some people think I'm just making this all up or it's just like the Omicron variant where after a week or two, you're well. Until you get it or someone you know get it, you'll probably won't know how didficult and life-changing it is
It’s called the jab not long covid
@@trantorthetroll8768wrong. Unjabbed get it too. Shedding is a real threat. Make no mistake.
4 YEARS here...months is a dream! It took maaaajor things - blood filtering, apheresis, lots of meds, lots of everything and after a hellish acute phase where I was left neglected from healthcare, even with stroke, seizures,.....it was traumatizing (and I'm a nurse)...so it went from acute hell right into long covid....no shots, just the injection ...never got sick again but I was also working in a moldy place, teaching in a moldy gym, and HVAC in my house but yea....wicked!!!! I am still out of work and I have thick skin but was brain ..to...toe. Brain damage, blessing for the whole month, anemia, hypoxemia (lost of taste and smell is zinc deficiency).
I relate with you pins and needles in long covid. Plus hot burning pain throughout my body like l had ingested poison. Stomach pain was awful. Plus liver and lung inflammation,left ear pain. Still recovering very slowly. The worse part is trying to convince a doctor you have long covid.
@TMiller808 yeah whatever
Thank you for these words…..
I actually had more than one doctor tell me it was all in my head…..
It’s nice to see doctors now acknowledging that it is a real thing…..
And it’s debilitating.
Yes…it’s real.. I didn’t take any jabs…there is something in the jab and the
man-made virus that must work similarly
When they tell you it’s all in your head...it’s because they don’t want to have to say the words “ I don’t know “.
It is very real, my daughter has
Had it for at two years.
Plus got it again.
Doctors have been dismissing us with late Lyme, MECFS, post viral/bacterial illnesses for DECADES. Hoping this will change and help ALL of us who are battling these disabling conditions.
I'm 17 months in and I am still struggling. I have have anxiety and lots of neurological issues, sleep issues, fatigue, wide spread muscle pain, digestive issues, brain fog and the list goes on. I'm not getting any really help from my doctors. It's a miserable existence.
Me too, but my Dr/PA is trying to help me, now that I know it's long Covid.
Yes it is. I'm so sorry you're suffering. I'm suffering the same. I pray you find a way to get above the struggle with long covid.
Same. Just keep pushing. Eat healthy, go to bed earlier and don’t stress about sleep. Anything that disrupts my sleep leads to anxiety/depression, coughing, brain fog so no drinking or staying up late. Working out daily has helped. I’ve had these symptoms now for three years. I see no end in sight, so I’m learning to just live with it. I’m pretty sure everyone in my life believes I’m making it up, but I’m legit at about 25% the energy I had before Covid. I have a feeling the virus is still living in us and there some sort of weird bacterial or viral growth in the gut that flares up. I’m praying they find a quick fix like a pill or something. 🙏
@@Wisdomforthehour Thank you! I pray we are all able to move past this!
Look into ozone therapy
I will be sharing this video! You just described what my precious Mom has been going through since she had Covid 2021. It's really Sad and Heartbreaking to watch someone slowly deteriorate after Covid and fully vaccinated 😢
Iam sorry about your mom. Iam 73 & struggling to get well after 5 months. I feel like issues older people are having are possibly different & not much focus on them. I do take most of what he recommends & it has helped. Your support for her will also be of great benefit.
@@cathytilford388 I hope you are doing better! My Mom has seen multiple Drs and None know what is going on but ALL try have pushed pills on her (which she's not taking) Like For What?? They don't know what's wrong or just not saying! It's a travesty!
I’ve literally been waiting years for a video like this so THANK YOU!
Thanks a lot Doctor. I have had Post Covid Vaccination Syndrome for 3 years. It has many of the symptoms of Long Covid so I am going to try some of your suggestions. It is a shame that so many health care systems have no one that knows anything about Long Covid. So I have to do the research which is difficult with this horrible illness. Thanks again.
This protocol helped me quite a bit a few months ago. Now need to start again... The main point missing is that this needs to be paired with tons of rest. If you try to do things immediately when you start feeling your energy come back you can re-trigger symptoms and still make things worse so need to stick to doing only 60% of what you think you can manage for a bit while you recover.
Thank you for mentioning this. I agree resting is just as important as all the supplements etc
Omg thank you!
I had Covid 2 years ago, mild symptoms but extremely fatigued. Major muscle and joint aches, brain fog, insomnia. I shouldn’t be so achy after a mild 20 minute swim. I use to be so active. Can only work intermittently. Just put this together today! So hopeful now, I was on the brink of crying 😢
Thank you SO much Dr Axe! I have been suffering with all of this for 4 years now! I've been wondering how to treat it naturally. I keep thinking it will go away but it doesn't. It just flares up every 3 weeks. I live on immune boosters now and have had a very hard battle to keep my head above water so I can work and survive and then to find the energy to work and keep up my home and life. It's a terrible battle. The suffering does not end. Thank you so much.
UPDATE:
After posting this message 6 months ago, I prayed between 3-5 am and spoke the words of Jesus about healing, I went back to bed and woke up to intense chills that moved up my body and then left! I wasn't sure what was going on, but the next day I woke up without symptoms. The day after that, I woke up without symptoms and the day after that and the day after that. It has now been nearly 7 months and I have been completely healed and delivered miraculously from this horrible sickness. I can only give Jesus Christ the credit because I believe that he showed up that night and delivered me from illness. I am so thankful every day that I can function normally again. That battle went on for 4 1/2 years. I feel like I have a new chance at life again.
You may also be suffering from the Shedding of the Spike Protein and many other chemicals from Vaccinated People. I cannot take being around them, but have to sometimes.
Yes it is!!!im with you!4 years for me!
Me as well. It's been a rough 3 years
It will be 3 years this August (2024). It has wrecked my life. I presented "long covid" to my doc and he just stared at me to the point of uncomfortability, then changed the subject. Then he treated me for depression, advising me to "be more active, exercise, get a job (I'm 69 and retired) go to church." Then ... What a nightmare.
Rodney, You’re not alone, incl the way your GP reacted.
I got COVID two times, the first at the beginning of 2020, the second autumn 2022. And got long Covid from the first follow by all kind of neurological and mental issues the second time.
What is very important is healthy food, supplements like vit B, C and D, omega 3 and 6 fish oil, antioxidants, healthy sleep with if needed melatonin.
Stay moving and “active” but practise Pacing. Find out after what time you get tired from a task and stop before that point. So let’s say after an hour standing or walking, rest after 3/4 hour. Lay down, eyes closed relax.
I am recovering slowly, but it takes a lot (4 years) of patience. 💪👍
I hope you found a real doctor.
@@susanbrush758 What does help according to your doctor?
@bintjesvideokanaal I don't have Long Covid but I have Chronic Lyme & Pots. Most Long Haulers have POTS. I self diagnosed and found a Cardiologist to treat me. Chronic Lyme has nearly exact same symptoms as Long Covid. Chronic Lyme patients have WORSE treatment than Covid patients. It's political disease. Something very wrong with M.Ds. They Hate change. They hate learning something new. Biggest skeptics in the world. Slowest profession on the face of the Earth to move forward, embrace the new research. Doctors in Western Medicine feel they paid their dues and studied Long & hard in medical school and that's enough for them. Most practicing 20 years behind the research. It's always been this way going back 100s of years. If you have a doctor gaslight you and tell you they don't believe in Long Covid and here's your antidepressant rx, what they are really telling you is they don't have the time the energy or the motivation to learn about a new disease in order to help you. The prescription for antidepressants is there go to in these types of situations. Best wishes locating new doctor. Try Cardiologist that treats POTS or Functional Medicine doctor that treats Lymes
😭😭😭 please your great my covid brain hurts talking so fast..
But you didn't say how much of these do you take.😭
Can you please help..
Thank you Dr Ace. Hair loss and breakage is another symptom. My kinesiologist said I had the Covid virus stuck in my body so he asked that I take quercetin to allow the zinc I was taking to be utilized. It seems to be working, plus my energy is so much better!
yes, I have heard that Quercitin drives the zinc into the cells
I was told that Quercetin can cause issues for some with MTHFR. Is there an alternative?
@@naomiAcronymwhat’s MTHFR
How are u doing now
shedding is a real thing. that's why they post signs in Intensive care units saying if you've recently been poked to stay away.
💯! People don’t talk enough about shedding and it’s very real. And yet they continue to push and coerce people to take these shots and boosters. INSANITY.
@@GreenfieldsHomeplace it’s ridiculous beyond belief!
Hair loss approx 3 months post infection....it’s also on the list
This happened to me. Devastating.
@@madelinekimbro2440
We have used the ArtemiC Rescue and ArtemiC Support combo, and it worked well for us for both short and long covid. You can find out more by typing it in.
For either covid or long covid:
First I use ArtemiC Rescue, which is a pump spray, 5 pumps in the morning, and 5 pumps at night at least half an hour before eating. After 2 days the bottle is finished.
Second I use ArtemiC Support, which is a pipette, 0.5ml in the mornings and 0.5ml at night at least one half hour before eating. After 30 days the bottle is finished.
Yes have alopecia now. 😢

What??!
That happened to me.
I was like…. early “peri-menopause?”
I have questions answered from this video and comments. ❤❤❤❤
EBOO + IV Methylene Blue + IV NAD+ is HUGE...also, refusing EBV antibiodies which gets reactivated with covaids (I'm a march2020 victim - severe case, due to dysregulated immune system due to working in a moldy environment, teaching dance at a gym with mold, then my home HVAC system..mold. Went from severe with stroke, seizures, NO medical help, it was traumatizing and only processing now. ...to long covaids,still out of work. Things REALLY turned around for me with the aforementioned, plus HBOT, IVM+zinc+ a lot from my nutritional chiropractor, then moved to EBOO ...supplements alone were NOT cutting it AT all.
EBOO?
I've had it at least 2-3 times, possibly just long covid. One of my side effects is random irregular heart beats. I still dont understand how a viral infection can turn into a blood clotting disorder. You need to do a case study or AB test for clotting for people who had natural CV19 vs those who had the jabs AND got covid. My hunch is those who took the jabs have far more clotting. Appreciate your input on this.
ClotShot
The real Agenda is depopulation. I mean, Duh ?

Bad clotting, elevated platelets. No shots (not even flu). I got the infection in march 2020, after working in urgent care treating this for 7 months. We don't 'get it again' bu the way. It's like EBV and other viruses...we get it and it get reactivated. I'm with you...curious how virus causes clotting BUT learned a LOT...and it starts a cascading of events. I never had a covaids shot either. This is why EBOO was SOOOOO helpful (blood filtering, UV light and ozone). Many doctors knew what was going on way before this doctor..like Bruce Patterson. HBOT has been helpful, EBV homeopathic, etc. I"m with you though, the shots are really severe covaids like I had in 2020....but injected...over and over and over.
@@Jennifer-gr7hn
Have you tried ArtemiC Rescue
It’s been 5 weeks since getting Covid, I understand that it’s not long since getting the virus, but after having Covid twice before, it was around two weeks where I felt unwell and then I started feeling better. I’m not feeling any better at all. I am so tired, sleeping most of the day away, brain fog, sore throat, shortness of breath, aches, headache, chills etc. it’s driving me nuts. Feeling really down and anxious. It’s horrible ❤
Over three years having the same symptoms that you are and more except for I'm having horrible pain my daughter and I are in physical therapy for knots that nodded our whole body up and down our spines from covid and no we did not get the jab it's called shedding
He forgot to mention POTS and dysautonomia from covid the main event of long covid
Also part of Lyme...those of us in the Lyme community have been dealing with the same issues for years...many many long difficult years. Long Covid feels like Chronic Lyme...all the same bells and whistles.
@@truthtriumphant4015 that's interesting 🤔
@@truthtriumphant4015exactly if these disorders would have been fixed or taken seriously long Covid would not be here
Yes pots and long Covid really are the same thing it’s autoimmunity that’s really causing it
@truthtriumphant4015, and fibromyalgia, and chronic fatigue, and other autoimmune conditions.
This is for me… my body feels like it’s short circuited alarming and random symptoms…
I,ve had it for a couple of years.I refused the van,my husband past it on to me.I have bitter taste,fatigue,brain fog,weakness,always tired,poor appetite.Thank you Dr.Axe for this info.Bless you!😊
Thank you! I had COVID very early in the game and consider myself very healthy. I’ve always had very low blood pressure but it has remained slightly on the high side since COVID and I don’t feel 100 percent myself. I am looking forward to starting your protocol.
Yesss. Covid left me with Weird menstrual issues. Missing cycle for 4 months at a time, then flooded. It also left me with chronic fatigue syndrome and a thyroid level increase which I had none of this before.
Definitely worsened my mast cell activation as well. This is now 2 years later
Turmeric root and oregano helped me, took garlic and I agree going out in the sun was another factor.
How do you take oregano?
Dr Axe ,please consider coming more often on the channel ,even 5 min will be great if not daily then every other day -as dr Berg does.We all love you and we are happy you are back on track!
I've had long COVID for 3 years. No sense of taste or smell. I know several people that have it as well.
We have used the ArtemiC Rescue and ArtemiC Support combo, and it worked well for us for both short and long covid. You can find out more by typing it in.

Have you tried taking zinc or chewing Nicotine gum 3 times a day for a few minutes?
Un abbraccio ne so qualcosa di serio
Take zinc
I've heard great things about nicotine patches for covid
Many of the problems are caused by inflammation which is due to an excess of the spike protein in the blood.
I went to a LC clinic in UCSD and they told me that I had Chronic Covid inflammation.
Thank you for sharing this insight. ❤
hello , what did they recommend? @@FiendForever90
I wish someone knew how to remove the Covid protein spikes out of the blood. There are 2 tests; one for unvaxed & one for vaxed. Quest said anything over 80 is high. After 3 years, mine is still high. I believe if we can remove these protein spikes, long covid will go away. All of many nutrients I’ve taken haven’t worked. Any thoughts?
@@p.l.eubank3108I have no spikes according to MMD lab, BUT i'm still struggeling🤷♂️
Thank you so much!!! there should be more of this information out there I'm a nurse and I've gone to a lot of doctors and I feel like they haven't taken my long covid seriously I'm finally starting to recover!
Great info! Nebulizing glutathione helped me with the shortness of breath that I had from long Covid.
Love you Dr. Axe. I always go to your website for natural info♡
I had the virus Dec 2020 into Jan2021 went through so much after getting rid of the sickness, til this day experiencing fatigue, tiredness,pain etc.
Nattokinase 100 mg 2 x a day plus ivermectin helped me. You need to break down the spike protein. Apparently it is difficult for our bodies to break down alone. Also I gave up dairy, gluten and sugar and vastly increased my veggies especially the cruciferous ones. Hope this helps someone.
Thanks for that info - how often and at what dose did you take the ivermectin?
Thanks. My mother in law thinks she has long covid. I'll let her know what helped you 😊
Bromeline is also recommended
I'm on neprinol, blood thinners, nac, vit d, etc. It helped somewhat but my spike protein levels are still way too high. I cut out all processed foods, sugar, dairy. I'm basically eating veggies, smoothies, teas, and nuts. I've lost 12 lbs and still have this spike protein issue.
I'm curious, what are your spike protein levels now compared to before?
The only way I cured the problems I developed after covid was by drastically reducing the amount of emf and mold in my home particularly in my bed / bedroom. I tried so many diets, exercise routines, supplements, practices, devices, etc. And none of it worked for me.
How did discover it was mold? And EMF?
@@janel1977blessedI noticed that my symptoms were much worse in proximity to my router and cell phone. I suspected mold was contributing later on because I noticed I was continuing to experience really bad symptoms in certain areas despite the fact that I had drastically reduced the emf in that area. Once I treated both I fully recovered. To this day my focus is on continuing to reduce the amount of emf in my home particularly in my bed / bedroom because the benefits are so massive. Ive spent probably more than $40,000 dollars over the past nearly 4 years and no diet, exercise routine, supplement, practice, bio hack, etc. Even comes close to the benefits I experience from reducing exposure to emf and mold in my home
Mold is AWFUL! I was working in high mold medical place, gym where I taught and my HVAC system :( EMFs are also awful too and make all my neuro/head symptoms worse. After talking on the phone for a short time, I'm 'dead'.... I did a lot of things in these past 3+ years. EBOO/blood filtering was HUGE, as was HBOT, aspirin, etc.
How to reduce EMF?
@@James-lu4enlooking to know too
I've suffered since March of 2020.
Mayo clinic forum keeps saying "Salt". My chloride, sodium and potassium were bottomed out. My worst issue was aniphalaxis, throat would shut off! HORRIBLY ...fight to stay alive.
Eating salt and I am recovering.
You may have a mast cell activation disorder that’s causing the anaphylaxis?
How do differentiate between long covid from virus and long covid from the jab or accumulated jabs? Would the treatment be the same?
So many people vaxxed it’s hard to tell what is truly causing these problems.
I want to know the same! Only had two shots but am struggling with chronic pain, fatigue. Migraines, muscle spasms, hazy vision 😢
5 g too may cause these symptoms?
I did not take the vax and have long covid. I also already eat very healthy and take almost all of the supplements he said. I developed migraines/neurological symptoms and heart issues (tachycardia)and my clotting factor and sedrate and CRP are elevated. No clots were detected in my CT scan thankfully but wondering when/if they will form. Also chronically fatigued
@@SETGL2010how're you dealing with it then ? Are the vitamins helping at all?
@@deenice7015 I feel like a higher dose Vitamin D3/K2 (I use Dr Berg brand for that) and taking a B1 supplement and B complex supplement has helped. Also have been drinking electrolytes in my water and went and had IV hydration. I think my body needed some time to calm down. I still have a long way to go but thankful to be functioning better.
Been disabled and in agony since march 2020. Dysautonomia, pots, mcas and more. I've tried so many things including all the supplements youve mentioned more. Name a diet I've tried it. Worked with over 35 practitioners, brain retraining and more.
Same here. I think the early infections were the worst. I was very active, vigorous gardener(think heavy weed eaters, chainsaws…) low weight, low A1C. Some gut issues but pretty healthy. Covid felled me like a tree. Still with me today.
@@chanchan5349 me too plus lyme disease praying for all right now
Try pine needle tea. It works for many things. 170 degreees Fahrenheit 20 minutes steep.
Aren't there two issues here?
Jabbed and un-Jabbed. Protocol is different?
I did not take the vax and have long covid. I also already eat very healthy and take almost all of the supplements he said. I developed migraines/neurological symptoms and heart issues (tachycardia)and my clotting factor and sedrate and CRP are elevated. No clots were detected in my CT scan thankfully but wondering when/if they will form.
How do you differentiate between “long covid” and vaccinated. I’m an RN and seeing symptoms in the vaxed, especially blood clots, heart rhythm issues, heart failure, turbo cancers . Many of the patients are contributing it to being vaxed. I had Covid early on with just loss of Taste/smell for a couple months. Exposed afterwards to Covid multiple times and no infection. Seeing all those with Covid now were vaxed.
My husband, after 3 shots, developed 3 different kinds of cancer. He was 100% healthy taking no meds before these shots.
@@theresahouck3516 wow, Im really sorry to hear this. They all deserve to be held accountable for lying about the “safe and effective treatment”
Hi, can you please say me how I can get tested for blood clots? How is the test called?
Thank you :)
Get him on a ketogenic diet and Take Fenbendazole@@theresahouck3516
Order a ddimer test online@@clemensh6214
How about hair loss? I know hair is related to the blood in Chinese Medicine- ever since I've had covid, my hair has been shedding likes crazy. It's been years now and all my labs are normal.
Did you do a hair analysis
@@thegrand4965how do you get that done?
I have the same issue as well
I had a live blood sample done every 6 weeks or so. The blood told me so much.
I’m still dealing with long covid. The post exertional malaise and the balding is still with me. I did have horrible anxiety and panic attacks.
NAC really helps with stabilizing the mood and emotional ups and downs. Plz look it up and try. It really works
Yeah I pretty much have all the above and alopecia. My vitamin D is at a 20 trying to get it up. My doctor refused to test my vitamin D and it ended up being so low as I figured.
Same here
Make sure you take oil based capsule vitamin D supplement, not tablet, oil based gets absorbed much better. And take vitamin K2 with it to prevent tissue calcification.
A doctor refusing a Vit D test? Move on to someone new
Try Dr Berg’s vitamin d capsules. They have K2 and zinc in them as co-factors to help absorption.
Please, I need some advice: I had the virus end of May beginning of June in 2023, since the I feel like I get sick every month, especially I have a lot of phlegm and I have cough because I think my body is trying to get rid of it but it does not go away. I’ve tried lots of home remedies and I agreed to take expectorant syrups and nothing works. Please, help! 😢
Hey, I had cough with lots of phlegm too for over 6 months after covid, it just wasnt going away. I insisted my GP let me try a steroid inhaler even though I dont have asthma, within a week of using it my cough was nearly gone and after two weeks fully gone. I stayed on it for a few months tapering down to zero, came off it and the cough stayed gone. Steroids switch off the overactive immune response which causes the cough and phlegm
NAC for phlegm. It's supposed to break down the spike protein too
Thanks, Dr. Axe! All of this info. so helpful and your viewers comments, too.
My wife and I had Covid back in December 2020.
She almost died from it (was hospitalized) I got over it in a week.
But here’s the difference,
She got her taste and smell back within a week or so after recovery.
It’s now 2024 and I started getting my taste and smell back except. Food doesn’t taste the same and smells don’t smell the same.
One example is,
I was driving one day and came across this smell and made the comment “what is that bad smell”?
My wife looked at me kinda strange and said “that’s a skunk”!
I can recognize there is an Oder in the area but that’s about it.
Gasoline smells different food tastes different.
I don’t know what to do to get things back to normal.
I honestly didn’t think I’d ever get my taste and smell back.
Kaliphos tissue salts help nerves and exhaustion
Ive been doing all this for ever ... havent getting to much relief yet. Ive had it severely tho . . My oxygen goes to mid 70s , my hearts having issues . I have brain swelling ,histamine problems , dehydrating issues.low Blood sugar problems ,chest and neck pain . Gut and chest palpitations. Gut rot till i get really ill . Horrible constipation. Shakey weak ill feeling . Adrenaline dumps / panic attacks . High blood pressure. Legs turn purplish blue and veins blowing out . 😊
finding LongCovid seems to trigger ME-CFS (very similar symptoms) in many people. I hope treatment for one, will help treatment for the other.
Sorry to disappoint you but there will never be any treatment for either me/cfs or long covid since the big pharma doesn't profit from that
I had Covid in December of 2021, I wasn’t that sick just felt like I had a cold /mild flu, I still don’t have my smell back fully, I’ve started smelling things this past year but only if it’s right under my nose. This is the only symptom I have that he’s mentioned.
In Nova Scotia, Canada with a population of a bit over one million, there was no co-vid period. About 10,000 people die every year. In 2020, less people died than during a normal year. It is alleged that 65 died with co-vid, 54 came from the same long term care building, the average age of death was 83, three years above the average age of death. The administrator of the long term care home admitted that she had been pressured to list as co-vid deaths people dying in long term care from stage 4 brain cancer. I come from a village of 3000 people. One doctor predicted that over 400 people would die from co-vid. We are in 2024 and we are still waiting for the first victim.
Well something real has affected many many people and it’s negatively affecting lives for far too long.
My cycle has never been the same after covid and I had covid over a year ago.
Is there a statistics of remissions doing this protocol? Also links to research would be cool. Thanks
Makes sense. When i was hospitalized for Covid and also when sent home, i was placed on a blood thinner.
Brilliant info,as always;
Thank you!
Amen Dr. Axe❤
Also, not everyone with Long Covid is even capable of walking. Graded Exercise Therapy is actually counterindicated for some with LC, especially where the consequence is PEM and can permanently damage the person's baseline. For some people "small and simple tasks" like standing up to do a light chore can cause PEM, nevermind walking. LC is not the same as "Post Viral Fatigue and nothing more" it's a lot more complex than that and shouldn't be reduced or minimized to make it more simple. I implore you to do more research.
Dr Axe, Would a natural blood thinner help since it has to do with blood vessels damage and inflammation?
Thank you!
Thank You Sir 🙏🏾
Wow, this video represents the lack of understanding in the medical community. I have had Long Covid for over two and a half years. By definition you don't have Long Covid unless your symptoms last over six months. Also the fatigue and brain fog persist throughout but other symptoms vary. Digestive issues change over time as does clotting. It is a little like getting on a roller coaster, your on a ride with terrifying turns in all directions. What I dislike about this video is lack of clarification of severity of those that suffer. The scale is Mild, Moderate, Severe and Extreme. This scale goes from being able to do most things, but not all to not being able to get out of bed. I hope later videos give a better representation of the reality of Long Covid.
Great episode! Thank you
Thank you.
I had Covid on December 2022. I have shortness of breath and fatigue up to now. Also very heavy bleeding 🩸 that I thought it was because of menopause…!
For shortness of breath, oregano 🌿 infusion with honey 🍯 🐝 has helped me tremendously! The shortness of breath is like 80 %less than before!🙏
I am going to follow your supplement recommendations. I got covid April 23 and could not breathe until aug 23, igot pneumonia right after ward and a series of other problems I lost over 80lb and i look like a death camp survivor. I am fatigued all the time and still can't really function properly. I am finally eating very healthy food during the course of this i am no longer diabetic and have stop most of the meds, they make me feel weak dizzy tired and sick.
How has it worked for you? My husband is in the exact same boat as you. Lost 50lbs!
They've given him every med known under the sun and just like you the side effects just make him sick
@@deenice7015 it is a long process and a lot of loss , income health etc .. i am slowly getting on my feet it takes time, i have a lot of work ahead of me to cover fully patience is the key
@@deenice7015 It is a slow process of recovery. I am on my own i lost my job income support and everything .. i had to go on social assistance to survive during my recovery which is taking over 2 yrs. I don't think anything prepares for that and the ability to get back on your feet. I am making progress slowly but i will survive this
I've had long covid since mars 2020, The main problem is that I get sick when I excercise, like fever or flu in The whole body, feeling weak and sick, but when I dont lift weights I have no symptoms At all. Auto immunity? Aids? Ive tried everything and still am sick when lifting weights. Some chronic inflammatory problem probably. I eat well, and ive taken every medicine and supplement recommended.
Hi,
how can I get a test if I have blood clots or not? How is it called?
D-dimer test
I have taken all these supplements to no avail. What has been helping the most is Brain Retraining. Fatigue nearly gone after two weeks.
Brain Retraining?
can you elaborate on brain retraining
Has anyone else gotten pulmonary fibrosis from Covid? Has it gone away? Is there treatment for it? My poor husband is still suffering…3 yrs out
My husband got pulmonary fibrosis after having severe Covid and was in hospital for 3 months. No he hasn't gotten over it but with rehab exercise therapy he was able to get off using O2 during the day and improve lung function.
Thank you. I appreciate this info. I hope learning about both long covid and ME-CFS will help bring solutions for both. They seem to be related.
Great info thanks
I have all of those symptoms, plus bloating, heavy brain feelings, bad coordination, uterine cancer, breathing issues
The fatigue/exhaustion was/is insane., sleeping 10 hours a day. Bedridden for two months with extreme exhaustion. Three visits to an ER Hospitals with major upper and lower GI issues, then Larigutis. Violent coughing when trying to speak. Blood in my stool front upper GI. Lungs are still raw, hurts to breath deep. Foggy thinking difficultto focus. Then, intermittent flu like symptoms. Long Covid can be extremely bad,. No joke.
Neuropsychiatric effects are the number 1 reported issue from frequency exposure. I think we should consider that 5th generation wireless broadcasting was released in 2020 at the same time as Covid became widespread. Fatigue, headaches, oxidative stress, blood disorders, immunosuppression, slowed cognition- All well-documented side effects from chronic EMF exposure.
One of the symptoms that persist, now I am having long covid for 2 years, is Istamin Intolerance. Dr axe I will be very grateful, if you can tell What can be done for histamin Intolerance
Look up Dr Tina Peers here on YT she has brilliant protocol for histamine intolerance and MCAS
I found Lion's Mane helps the brain fog. What are your thoughts on it?
Doing some of those things and they help😊
I’ve been experiencing these things now it’s been 6 months and I’m just a little bit better and visited a lot doctors and other people but in the end they say it’s just in your head and you’re crazy idk what should we do 🇮🇷
Same with the shot...all my problems started with that :(
Same.. Life ruined forever after 2nd dose of pfizer.. Was really fit and healthy a gym maniac..
@@ciuffoarancione8929 have faith that it is not forever and you will heal in time :)
Try intermittent fasting it is the only thing then helped me
What about Nattokinease for blood? Anti inflammatory diet?
What about NAC? Does it work for long COVID? If so how much? Have had long COVID and most of the symptoms mentioned for 1 1/2 years and also Alpha 1 deficient on Prolastin.
Or maybe just vit B1 defficiency
What about those of us with endothelial damage after covid? My veins all over my body are bulging and turning bright blue. I developed venous insufficiency in my superficial and deep veins in my legs. I suddenly developed varicose veins on my legs. My arm and hand veins are bulging like crazy and I look like I'm decades older because of my bulging blue veins.
I also have the rest of the long covid symptoms, intense brain fog, gait change, wobbly uncoordinated movements, GI issues, gallbladder and pancreas issues, AMA showed up in bloodwork which signals possible liver disease, chronic left sided back, chest, arm, and shoulder pain, dizziness, lightheadedness, cognitive issues, visual disturbances, low blood pressure, bradycardia, POTS, etc.
What do we do? Just do the things mentioned in this video? Is that going to reverse, repair, and stop endothelial damage to our veins? Is there any hope?
Thank You for your video, can You do a video on how to lower antithyroid antibodies, as You spoke about the inmune system here, thank you
What digestive diseases does long covid cause specifically and what do you do about it?
Disbiosis, reflux, gerd, ibs... I have all of them... After jabs... Covid and jabs destroy microbiome... Can't eat anything. Lost 13 kg of muscles in few months.. Can't recover even on diet..
What about cayenne pepper to clean the blood ?
How can you talk about vitamin D without mentioning magnesium, k2
Agreed.
AkA the jab
Never had the jab...never left our home since Jan. 2020...was dispersed by air...heli flying over June 2020 spraying attachment...over our garden. Yes...the jab is a horrible thing...but...so is the created virus.
Welll this is all great, but how long does one keep this regimen? How can we be supervised?!? Can we call you personally if something goes wrong.😑
LDN low dose naltrexone fixed my severe brain fog overnight. I was able to get back to work within 3 weeks. I still get really tired, and have weird "heavy" legs, but at least my brain works again. I'm starting to believe the theory about microclots and thick blood due to viral activity and damage to endothelium. I'm taking supplements that are mild blood thinners (black seed oil, NAC) it's helping. Next on my list is Nattokinase
Black Seed oil is helping me too. I had no idea it was a mild blood-thinner though.
how are you doing now. do you still have any cognitive issues
I am no doctor, however I would like to share my experience treating long covid. I won't waste time telling my whole story, but I will cut to the chase. I was able to overcome covid using antihistamines, Benadryl or Loratadine, others would probably work as well. I used a mega-dose of Loratadine >10 10mg pills every four hours for one day. Also, a single dose of benedryl helps but I believe that a higher dose is required to actually give your body a chance to rid itself of the virus. It may take days to actually completely rid your body of this, you should also go on a home, clothing, and furnishing cleaning program, I found myself often going from feeling great to becoming re-infected. I would talk to my physician on the possibility of using this to help, he might recommend a regimen which you could try which he would determine to be safe for you.
Love you ❤
I'm also taking 2000 MG of NAC with enzymes empty stomach twice daily
What is NAD+?
What about k2 with the vitamin D?
Yes add for absorption of Vitamin D.😊
My husband developed A-Fib, has had 2 ablations and 2 Cardioversions and is scheduled for his third Ablation. I experienced, joint pain and stiffness in my body and brain fog as well as digestive issues. Never had the vax
Long vax sufferers- now a thing should benefit from this as well. I eat very healthy and have not even caught it despite exposure. Last cold was way before Covid. Eat this way all the time and stay healthy. ( I’m 68)
Is balls palsey a long Covid issue? A friend (not taken any you know what) has had BP for the second time now since Covid
It’s a jab issue
@@trantorthetroll8768 he did not take any jabs
Im sorry to hear about your friend, I feel that the illness causes a lot of these things too. I also did not take the “safe effective treatment” yet suffer with long c0vid, lots of health issues since catching the illness. I think the safe and effective treatment your friend didnt take enhances the effects of the illness, changes our dna and ensures it will be in our systems for those that managed to escape catching the illness.
Aphasia, apraxia, POTS, MCI, PEM....my wife has had all these already in about 17 months....
Also apnea,
That microphone is diving me crazy. He sounds so far away and then when he gets close it’s nice and clear.
Ok, this has been talked about, the reality is, is this being used for the purpose to leave people in the dark?
Long covid and covid is very extinctive.
Anyone having problems with peripheral neuropathy? I did not get vaxed. Had covid in Jan 2021 and problems are increasing. Also feel like I have a cold all the time, my nose runs a lot, cough, sore throat, and sneeze all the time wherever I go.
I have increased mucus production. Always a cough after I get up and blowing my nose all day long since my covid April 2021
My Long COVID was Asthma which went away in my 20s and came back during COVID. Also, my voice. My voice went out during COVID and never came back. It moved my vocal cords. I was told that it would come back, but it has been 4 years. I have heard of others having the voice issue as well. Two Emory University Doctors have called it Long COVID.
