I have been very blessed to never get Covid! I haven’t been sick in over 13 years!
Hope that you are doing well, Dr Riggs🙏🏽❤️🙏🏽
Hello love, I am in the same bus fighting this evil thing. I want to share with you a wizards advice, I am starting tomorrow, he told me from his experience to use fish omega oil 3000 mg with nattokinase 500mg per day. Omegs' for circulation and the enzyme to eliminate dead protein that is hanging around in cells, joints, blood in general. Your are a fighter my dear, I know you will get your full life back. ❤
Thanks so much Sam. Yes the Nattokinase is a very similar action to the triple therapy. I am done with that treatment now, and am going to honor my nervous system and refrain from trying anything new for now. But potentially that could be helpful to you, just check in with your nervous system first to make sure its happy with that!
I’m starting a similar protocol. The medical field has me so angry and depressed. I had to go to Mexico just to get drugs to keep me alive to get to this point. Good luck to all here. ☘️
Hi Sally. I am so very sorry that you have had this setback. My heart goes out to you ❤ I also thank you so much for your video and sharing your experience with this therapy. You are so right when you say that what it says on paper, or what someone else may be trying at the moment...does not matter to us now. I appreciate the time that you have taken in helping all of us along in our journey. Wishing you much better days ahead and that you will get back to your 95% sooner than later. Baby Steps...right!! Take care. Sending hugs ❤❤
Thank you so much Kathy I so appreciate enormously appreciate that! 🤗
I am in my 4th month of treatment for Long Covid and am doing quite well. I had Long Covid for 2 1/2 years but could not get a diagnosis for my symptoms despite over 50 lab tests. So I went online and followed the medical information and discovered my symptoms matched up well with Long Covid. So I found a world class cardiologist online who treats Long Covid and I am following his treatment protocol. It is a 6-9 month treatment program and I continue to improve. I honestly could not believe it.
Natto, Bromelain, Tumeric?
So sorry to hear it took so long for you to get a diagnosis. So glad you are getting treatment that feels right for your now!
@@ismaelramirez4803 None of those. Dr. Boon Lim is a world class cardiologist in London. I am following his treatment protocol. You can find it on his youtube video : "Step by step recovery from breathlessness---Long Covid Dysautonomia." Good luck.
Do you mind sharing that cardiologists info? I’m in the same boat and got it back in 2020
Where do We find the same treatment? I have been suffering from long covid for 1 1/2 years.... Thanks
Apart from everything you said, anti herpes medication + Cox 2 blocker need to be added, there are some clinical trials going on by Virios Therapeutics and result it quite promising, they have found that COVID has reactivated underlying dormant herpes which is main reason of long COVID symptoms, it would be great if you awareness about it
Thanks for letting me know. I am done being a human guinea pig for now. My nervous system is just returning to normal from this summers “detox” and not looking to do anymore.
@@sallyriggs465you're already recovering so you don't need to try it, but you can raise awareness about it
What kind of anti herpes medication? I’ve been hearing that mentioned a couple of times online, but know nothing about it.
thank you!
More than welcome!
Hi. Thank you for continuing to look out for us long haulers. I’m currently on gut detoxes and it’s helping but I’m nowhere close to even 50% yet.
Would you say that post the triple coagulant therapy that you’ve gone up from 95% to 100% yet? Or at-least somewhat better than the 95% yet? Thx
Great question! I finished the protocol about the end of September and am just beginning to feel like I'm back to the 95% again... but hopeful that means I will continue this upswing. Gut detoxes are tough though. Do feel free to give your nervous system a break if it tells you it needs one!
@@sallyriggs465I agree about the nervous system not being happy about being overruled by certain treatments. In my case the nervous system retaliated with anaphylaxis when I took ozone IV passes and other stronger supplements. Only gut detoxes helped me go from 25% to 45-50% without the nervous system retaliating. There’s something in the gut-brain axis that the ANS is begging to have it resolved already.
Something tells me the triple anti-coagulant therapy did you more harm than good. Forgive my presumption.
I recall a doctor from UK with long covid who flew to Germany for Aphresis/blood filtering some 7 times to get rid of his microclots and he did to whatever degree but hasn’t yet gotten back to 100%. I think the real root cause is the virus still existing in the brain/CNS and other parts of the nervous system.
We 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:
ArtemiC Rescue is a pump spray, 5 pumps in the morning and 5 pumps at night at least a half an hour before eating. After 2 days the bottle is finished.
ArtemiC Support is a pipette, 0.5ml in the morning and 0.5ml at night at least one half hour before eating. After 30 days the bottle is finished. 😅
@@sallyriggs465awesome. Don’t be shy to spread your good news. It helps my nervous system.
Hi Sally, I am glad I found you. A little bitt of my story is: I got hepatitis when I was 10 years old in Mexico and never recovered from it. Nobody understood what was wrong with me and i was just labeled lazy. I Migrated to the US at the age of 19 with my mom and sister and tried to make a life here struggling enormously to work, study, Learn the language, etc without knowing what was wrong with me. Somehow managed to get a career and jib. In 2022 got covid and then long civid that completely ruined me. Last month I found you and felt hope. I purchased your book. It all resonates with me and I was ready to hire you as a coach but i just learned that you are closing your business. I am devastated. I am back to square one. I am not sure what to do now. How can I find a new coach or similar program. Please guide me. Is there a cohort that has startes that i can still join even if it is already going and that i might be able to catch up?
My online course that is self study will still remain open so you can definitely take that if you haven’t already 🤗 for SSP where are you located?
@@sallyriggs465Thank you for replying yo my comment. I am honored. I live in Los Angeles, California USA
@@gabame4238 I am sure there are many providers in LA integratedlistening.com/about/find-a-provider/
How do you decide what is Long Covid and what is side-effects of the vaccines? The symptom picture for Long Covid seems to overlap with the list of potential side-effects (supplied by the vaccine-makers themselves) of the vaccines. Could it be that some diagnoses of Long Covid are actually side-effects of the vaccines . . . ?
I got long covid in March 2020. I got the vaccine in January 2021. That’s how I decide. Most others have a very similar clear presentation. It’s definitely possible to get vaccine injury which is included under the “long covid” umbrella. I’m not sure what you mean by “potential side effects listed by the vaccine makers”. Can you give some examples? I don’t see any of my long covid symptoms listed in the vaccine fact sheet. Personally each time I took the vaccine I had normal acute post vaccine symptoms for 72 hours but these are very different than my long covid symptoms.
@@sallyriggs465: Point taken. This would suggest that it would be prudent for the diagnosing doctor - in every case - to get the patient's vaccine history (with dates), if only to rule out the possibility of vaccine injury. I wonder if this is being done . . .
I don’t think most doctors are competent in diagnosing long covid regardless of consideration of vaccine status. Sadly I am not responsible for physician continuing medical education.
Sally, I am so sorry to hear that you didn't get your summer but I am glad that your setback was only temporary. Thank you for bringing up that a setback in recovery is also a psychological challenge. It is scary to not know when or even if you will bounce back. I had been doing a significant bit better with my long Covid and now last Friday I tested positive again (I got it from my son's kindergarten, with kids you can't escape). I got Paxlovid which did help and the acute infection was not so bad and is already over but my POTS and Fatigue have worsened. That is a real psychological challenge for me but we can do hard things, right? Sending you all the best and Christmas greetings from Vienna, Sonja
Thank you so much Sonnja. We can absolutely do hard things! If your POTs and Fatigue have worsened that sounds like your nervous system just needs a bit of extra support right now. Sending you hugs and Christmas greetings from afar 🤗
I use nattokinase for clotting. I used grape juice as a blood thinner the first year of the pandemic. I supplement with NAC & magnesium glycinate for GlyNac to heal my mitochondria. These two also help clear spike proteins and toxins. I also use spirulina and chlorella for clearing toxins. Since COVID and microclots do damage throughout the body I take a number of supplements to address reconstruction and inflammation. I also do more to support my gut biome since COVID seems to act as a bacteriophage. Relapsed I think can be expected since the body potentially houses reservoirs of the virus and we get exposed continually to new variants.
glyNAC seems useful for me. I've used NAC since the 70s', but adding glycine 1:1 has been good.
Thanks for the gut biome clue. I have all of a sudden regressed to some kind of crohn like disease. Going from long covid to worse. Lost every client lost every job. What a special feeling I have. Yet, I know others are worse. Respawn.
Where do you get this test done? I’m in RI and so hard getting help
Which test are you referring to specifically?
When you say to ask your body what it needs, what does that mean practically? Sometimes decision-making is really hard for me and I rely on logic, not my nervous system. What clues should I be looking for in my body?
All our bodies are different Elizabeth. You would need to first get into your body, then learn and befriend your nervous system. Then when you ask if what it needs it will reliably tell you. Mine screams at me pretty loud 😀 if you have difficult hearing it, that’s more than likely because you have dissociated from it to some extent.
Can you give us some details on the testing for the microclots?
Yes details of how they do the testing is in this paper cardiab.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12933-021-01359-7
Is brain fog linked to microclots
More than likely. Microclots reduce blood flow to all parts of the body and that includes the brain. Less oxygen to the brain is never good.
I’ve. Even taking augmented NAC and wonder if it woke up dormant and gave me full on Covid again along with smell loss
After it was doing so well
So sorry to hear that 🤗 these treatments are potent and anything that can “detox” is gonna make us feel awful!
Turned out it wasn’t Covid-broke down and took a test which I hate those tests. I just need someplace to talk about this it’s really hard over 2 years of this and there is no end to the chaos in the world. It just keeps amping up. Anyway. I think I’ve come to point I’m stopping everything. I do feel better than 2 years ago. Anyway blah blah blah. I’m so over talking about this
At low body temperature erytocyte aggregation increse.
That can increase blood viscousity.
Interesting! One issue for me in increasing body temp was that it would trigger MCAS...
@@sallyriggs465 may be must avoid gluten?
@@traianliviudanciu8665 might also help some. Personally I’ve been gluten free since 2001 so don’t think it’s that…
Do you have a link to the group in south Africa and what are the two medications?
Here is the pre-print paper they wrote! www.researchsquare.com/article/rs-1205453/latest
Thank you! Did you have 2 microclot tests? Were they the same despite getting to 95%.
Interesting how some fully recover without doing anything for microclots. Strange how many paths there are to recovery. Makes me thinks it’s just a time thing.
@@swyllie30 Yes so interesting!! I did have two tests and yes the microclots had reduced, although at the time of the second blood test I still felt like total crap!
Theoretically even NAC can decrease blood viscousity induced by high cryoglobuline level.
I do hear many that do well on NAC. I personally did take it for at least 18 months and it made no difference for me. But potentially worth a try if your nervous system is open to it.
@@chantellucky4565 tocopherols (vitE ,in high dossage can have side effects.
Tiredness is one.
@@chantellucky4565 even Snake venom is natural.
(Some medication use venom in very small quantity)
@@chantellucky4565 blood viscousity is a fizic quality (something of fizics,fluid rheology,)
Coagulation include chemical reactions.
Anticoagulants even natural include risk of bleeding
Sometimes,even simply surgical mask wearing can increase oxigen saturation
By increasing upper respiratory temperature and or by increasing CO2 level ?(mofette effect?)
I do appreciate that these strategies might do the things you mention. I am not a physician but I think there's a reason why we actually don't do well with increased co2 in Long Covid - such a complicated pathophysiology. And from a personal anecdotal perspective I have worn a KN94 constantly on leaving my apartment since 2020 but it has done zero for my oxygen saturation...
@@sallyriggs465 may be surgical mask are better,but must be use more time
Especially after contamination, when body temperature increase,mask wearing heat more respiratory tract,and theoretically can have antiviral effect.
At TWiV 659 at min29 virologist Christian Drosten suggest that SARS COV2 better replicate at very low tissue temperature.
@@sallyriggs465 may be even gluten intolerance increase risk of long Covid
@@sallyriggs465 bandana or surgical mask can work better If we target to maintain higher mucouseal respiratory temperature.
How often can i take the pills?
Forgive me what pills are you referring to..?
how on earth are you getting microclots tested for? I'm based in nyc
Do you mean why am I getting them tested or where am I getting them tested?
I am trying triple therapy now and after about 3 months, I have improved only about 10%.
Sounds similar. I didn’t see any improvements until about 2 months after I finished. And those have also been slow.
@@sallyriggs465 Is the triple therapy what got you to 95%? I have had LC for 3.5 years and don't have much hope the triple therapy will work, but all you can do is keep trying things.
Nervous system work is what got me to 95%. I was 95% a year ago Jan 2023. Then I did TT May - October 2023 which put me back to about 50%. Since I finished TT I have slowly returned to 95% again. I started nervous system work in September 2021 and it was a game changer for me. That why I created a whole UA-cam channel about it, wrote a book and put together an online course 😀
Does the vagus therapy work for PEM? @@sallyriggs465
