Autophagy to fight Long Covid

I dive into the science behind viral persistence and how blocking the main cellular protein degradation pathways allows SARS-CoV-2 to hide from our immune system. Periodic induction of strong autophagy may unmask the virus and prime our immune systems to kill virally infected cells. One way to induce strong autophagy... water fasting for one or two days.

Thanks Tom! Great presentation!

Hi Tom. Can you please go into more detail about increasing NAD+ which increases SIRT1, inducing autophagy. Are you saying that restricted eating induces NAD? What is the best way to increase NAD?

[@alexc7857]

Nicotinic Acid [niacin] increases NAD+ and avoid carbs, these rob the body from nutrition.

[@andreas956]

Supplementin Niacin(nicotinic acid) increases it.

Why do athletes and fit people get long covid more?

[@teddybearroosevelt1847]

Because of the high levels of oxidative stress

[@andreas956]

Can you start with the 2-4 day fasting already in the acute phase of Long COVID(first month)? Or do you have to wait a few months first?

[@recoverfromlongcovid1084]

I do not know. I would limit it to 36 hrs initially.

[@andreas956]

@@recoverfromlongcovid1084 Yeah, maybe that's enough for at least some Autophagy and some improvement.

Do people recover from long covid?

[@ahheng6402]

Yes, Autophagy & Stem Cells. Longer fasting, Low Carbohydrate & Supplement reducing inflammation is the way.

[@recoverfromlongcovid1084]

A lucky few do. After 4 months... not very many get back to 100% it appears.
