New Long Covid Breakthrough! First step towards a treatment?? Dr Gill

[@Lemonz1989]

That virus was one of the worst infections I’ve experienced in my life. Not only did I burn up with fever incredibly quickly, like from normal in the afternoon to 39.8°C by bedtime, but I was incredibly tired for 3 months or so after. I slept 12+ hours a day just to be able to function. The 2nd time I got it, I didn’t get such a high fever, but the fatigue came back for another 3 months or so. This is one of the reasons why it annoys me when people say it was a hoax and such.

Did it go away?

​@@torrisdavison524That's not the point; we still deal with several ongoing diseases that have been around for generations but the intelligent people vaxx and avoid most of them. Now covid is just another one! Stop being one of the "uneducated"! Or go ahead get sick then suffer in Silence!!

[@WildandFree4]

I've had this for almost 3yrs. It's been hell.. I mocked the virus. It's real but there's evidence showing it was created in a lab. Parts of it were put there by humans. This is a crime against humanity. Vaxxed countries had a 91% excess death rate compared to non vaxxed. My source is the British medical journal, published afew months ago. I recommend listening to Dr John Campbell on here. He is showing all the studies. He is completely fact based.. I hope you are doing well now 💜✨

[@DIGITALSCREAMS]

I've had LC for two years now. An unrelentingly brutal illness. Surviving, not living. Desperate for a treatment that addresses the fatigue aspect. I've learnt to accept and deal with the remaining 11 symptoms I have. But it's the fatigue that prevents me from working, being a supportive partner and daddy to my 5 year old daughter. Desperate for scientists, researchers and medical guys to figure this problem out. Millions upon millions are suffering.

You are vaccine injured, same outcome as my father, and he required a 4 way bypass after the Vaccine induced Myocarditis carotid(ed?) his heart. Hes essentually bedridden, incapable of even mild physical activity without feeling fatigued.

[@maryangellwalsh]

@@codeisme thousands of us had Covid, and many died from it long before vaccines were created. February 2020 for me, a year before vaccines were available, long Covid since. Thankfully improving every year. I’ve also happily gotten vaccinated and boosted and never had any problems or side effects from any of them. Growing up during polio time I appreciate vaccines. I also know many people who got jabbed with no problems. I realize some have had bad responses but definitely not the majority. I do know several who got long COVID symptoms of various kinds from the virus, before the shot.

I have exactly the same story, 2 years now, no work, 3 year old son. this is horrible...and cure is not in sight yet

[@CorbiniteVids]

It's hard to tell how much this actually helps and how much of it is placebo, but I feel like creatine supplementation has helped slightly with the fatigue (and some very preliminary research seems to back this up). It could be worth a shot. It doesn't actually address the fatigue directly but it seems to give me a bit more of a buffer so that the fatigue has more room

[@CorbiniteVids]

​@@codeismeplease stop. Vaccine injury is real in very rare cases, I'm not going to claim that your father's story is fake. But long covid is also very real. I get that you have an ideological pressure to deny the reality of covid itself but you need to leave us alone and stop trying to drag us down the conspiracy rabbit hole with you. It's incredibly hurtful to talk like this to people who are suffering, acting as if we're all just confused victims who need to be saved by you. We have long covid. It's real. And we're tired of not being taken seriously. Also the rare cases of vaccine injury essentially are a form of long covid. It's just another way of getting it. So there's a one in a thousand chance of developing long covid from the vaccine vs a one in ten chance of developing it from the virus. I know which one I pick.

[@melbird-dw3su]

This is so informative and hopeful. As a long hauler, a cure or a treatment, cannot happen fast enough and there should be an enormous focus on this.

I was a patient of Dr. Bruce Patterson and did a ton of bloodwork, consultations and meds, including off label HIV meds. My bloodwork numbers improved but my symptoms hit a plateau.

[@MichaelMerritt]

I’ve done the same with his protocol. My LC is strongly mast cell with some heart rate issues and mild dysautonomia. I’ve had some recent luck managing symptoms with ivermectin (blocks prostaglandins and reduces inflammation) and mast cell stabilizers like oral sodium cromolyn. Everyone is different but that has been helping me a lot.

I’m still waiting to figure out how to rid of viral persistence if that’s the root of all this mess. Miraviroc wasn’t it for me.

I have had Long-Covid for over 4 years now, Dr Gill. The symptoms seem to be very much consistent with symptoms of Mast Cell Activation Syndrome, which is often hard to detect, diagnose and treat as well. Could there be a link between Long-Covid and MCAS in your view?

[@MichaelMerritt]

I’ve had a lot of luck managing symptoms with oral sodium cromolyn (liquid 100mg bottle; start slow) and ivermectin 15mg every 3 days. Took me from bed ridden to functioning and occasionally able to workout. I’ve had LC for 4 years now. Not a cure but as close as I’ve gotten. Ivermectin helps reduce some of the cytokines and blocking prostaglandins which triggers mast cells. Helped a lot with brain fog. I hope you get well.

⁠@@hserieshooligan1997lmao, if you’re talking about the vax, your conspiracy makes no sense. There are many people who got covid before the vax was released or before they had access to it and still have long covid.

Thank you to all who are investigating this devastating disease. It means everything to us, and so much to those who love us.

[@theancientsancients1769]

My heart goes to you . 4 years experience I have .. reinfection is worse thing as it takes 2 years to feel better but reinfection can set you back 2 years. Many get reinfection not realising they were on the path to recovery! Before they experience improvement get reinfected. My current favourite is L Arginine which had some clinical data to back up from Italy. I noticed improvement especially in terms of strength and fatigue. I want to try hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy which had some good data too and a trial is going in Germany. It's pricey though. Reducing stress and getting plenty of sunlight always reduced my symptoms. Best wishes

Thank you very much Dr Gill and I would certainly appreciate more such videos. Does this latest research suggest that Long COVID has now become another autoimmune disease?

[@jac1161]

definitely - I'm "positive for lupus" but it's "not lupus" ..?!?!?

[@rickyirons9874]

Long Covid affects several blood test results including PSA and glucose. My wife's and my glucose suddenly increased hers went to 107 and mine 122 this is the first time ours has been out of the 90s. She may have had COVID-19 once and I may have had it 3 times we didn't go to the doctor about it because we knew that they would probably hospitalize us. I took over-the-counter meds. My PSA went to a whopping 7.6 then went down in the 6s. My doctor told me to watch my sweets to answer my high glucose. Doctors don't want to discuss COVID-19 but surely want you to get the jab.

[@Jennifer-gr7hn]

leading cause of long of the suffering was neglect of early care with steroids, antihistamines, and blood thinners. I workers were we did this before it's name...once it's name and mandates, that's when people died or suffered..I lived it as a nurse and a patient from march 2020. MCAS....... also triggers latest stealth infections. That's why early intervention was not allowed. "Stay home until your lips turn blue." Yup, then you're in the inflammatory stage and it's too late to stop viral replication. This is "leaky vessel disease".....and by they way, Dr Bruce Patterson cracked this in 2020....

[@sneakypress]

Are you kidding ? Steroids are the main cause of long covid .

[@garnerblair5179]

With homocysteine being a marker for so many disease processes, i propose that MTHFR polymorphisms will make up the bulk of long-covid/vax sufferers. Also notable that even if you dont have a MTHFR polymorphism, you can mimick it with the modern/western diet .

[@breezylyn2168]

I think i understand what your saying . Can you say it in a different way? I kind of find it interesting ,and curious why you think this ? Could be very true.. I wanna make sure I understand you correctly

[@tinarytting3799]

Please do more talks on this! My issues started with the vaccine in 2021 for the next 2 years I went steadily down hill. Have frequent “sinus infections headaches “ that wouldn’t go away with antibiotics. I got COVID in October 2023 and have had a constant migraine that won’t go away. Very cognitive impaired, had to quit working. Waiting to try Botox in January.

[@danmarquez3971]

I say that long COVID is the result of exposure to COVID or COVID vaccines during a condition that increases IL-4 and IL-10. Why? These increase IgG4. So an ongoing allergy increases IL-4. Hypoxia increases IL-10. So the cure may be a reduction of LI-4, IL-10, and IgG4.

[@danmarquez3971]

I also suspect that BanLec may fix IgG4 by making it trigger liver complement cascades.

How much Long Covid is actually the side effects of the medical intervention which was mandated to so many . . . ?

[@maryangellwalsh]

@@jamesneilsongrahamloveinth1301 What about those of us who were sick early, before any medical intervention was available? Before testing, treatments or vaccines were created? Going on 4 years here, each year improving with a lots of herbs and sups and slowly increasing strengthening exercises.

[@MJR1117]

There were loads of long covid cases before the vaccines came out

[@againsteveryoneswill1923]

I didn't have any medical intervention with covid so no side effects from that. I'm sure there are more like me. All just symptoms for covid, had it three times. First two were bad, third was not as bad. Have had many ill effects from the virus over three years.

[@RingJando]

Rather thorough & what a fine doctor indeed - Cheers!

[@suziesmith2142]

I was 63 the first time I got it and since I had smoked like an idiot for years, I figured I'd be a gonner. I was sick for about 2 weeks, very tired, sore throat for a day or two, headache for a day or two, mostly just fatigue. Zero respiratory symptoms but used used an incentive spirometer, out of fear. 1 year later got it again. Unwell, very sore throat, better in 5 days. BUT I've been dealing with a lot of fatigue, since.

[@Fliptheflipflop]

I've been hearing a lot about how it could be viral persistence, this would imply it's not an autoimmune problem right?

[@DrJamesGill]

I think there are several processes. Clotting issue, autoimmune responses, histamine reaction, gut dysbiosis and viral persistence / reactivation The question is which are symptoms and which are causative

[@Fliptheflipflop]

@@DrJamesGill thanks for the reply doc

I think the root is viral persistence and the rest is how our individual bodies respond to it. I think...

[@LJfootball14]

Has there been any studies about mental illness in regards to people who are diagnosed with this? Would be interested to see if psychologically if there is a reason these symptoms persist and what causes some to be so bed ridden.

[@DrJamesGill]

There is evidence that SSRI’s have some benefit. We think that *might* be due to Covid impacts on the bowel - as the gut microbiome js a major source of serotonin

[@rainerwein8604]

interesting it took the researchers such a long time to identify the blood as a related problem, though the acquired antiphospholipidsyndrome due to PostVac and PostCovid has been known since quite some years by now....

[@O8WRx]

Are folks with long covid vaccinated? Do they have other problems like obesity? Do we know if there any other indicators in their history (family history too) that might coincide with it?

[@TheTroothseekr]

The complement connection may also explain the clotting disordered associated with Covid and the jabs for it.

[@scotthenry7470]

Very interesting Dr. I'm 61 and have had covid twice. First about 2 years ago. After the 1 bout I got very itchy with hives and rash. That lasted about a year then tapered off. I got covid again about 3 months ago, and yup, very itchy with hives and rash again. I thought the cause may have been dietary changes(there is also a GI aspect), but now I'm thinking the GI issue may be the main symptom of long covid that is contributing to my skin issues. New to your podcasts. Keep up the good work. Scott

[@rosschambers1987]

Thanks for the interesting video. Does the same apply for those suffering with long term systemic illness similar to long covid but instead related to the medical intervention we all took? I am struggling with palpitations, exercise induced fatigue, brain fog/unpleasant sensations in my head, insomnia. I get a few good days but then get slammed back down. Trying HBOT at the moment and have previously tried so many other different things with no joy.

[@jac1161]

I did 180 hours of HBOT in 2020, also ivermectin, maravuroc (HIV drug + statin), plus IV ozone, EBOO -- filtration, uv light, ozone and IR sauna - huge help), EBV treatment through DesBio Homeopathic since that is reactivated with covid. I'm still a mess, BUT much better with also getting iron and iodine tested (low low low). This affected the brain stem. I can't feel my low sugars (dangerous), I can't expand my lungs with out ivermectin, but also found mold toxicity in my work, house, etc. MESS. Anyway, HBOT was helpful but only too me so far. The rest was very helpful!Prayers. I know...I totally know. I also have c-ptsd from being left with out healthcare during my sever covid, stroke and seizures...scary. Four years ago

[@USALibertarian]

Involvement of the Complement system implies latent virus, auto-immunity, or both.

[@siobhancunningham2923]

Hey im from ireland how do you rest for microclots

[@jolsonon]

Can't EVERYTHING that was just explained in this video be caused by the autonomic nervous system being dysregulated? If so, the cure isn't through medicine. Medicine hasn't done much for people with ME/CFS but people have been cured by calming their nervous system and then doing some brain retraining. There is nothing quick about what I just described but why wait and HOPE for a cure when there isn't one and hasn't been one for many post-viral syndromes (which have been around for a very long time). I'm slowly getting better by doing mind/body practices. I have yet to find any type of supplements/medicine that help.

[@DrJamesGill]

We do see improvements in CERTAIN patients autonomic dysfunction treatments - eg controlling heart rate with various medications. But in some patients who you “get it right” biologically - ie resolving POTS - they still not improve There is CERTAINLY not one answer for long Covid In my opinion, a larger proportion is due to microclots, but certainly not all

[@maryangellwalsh]

@@jolsonon you are on to something. Please, what specific techniques you’ve used to rebalance your ANS? I don’t know where to start. I found adrenal fatigue to be a component of LC. Treating that with herbs and glandulars has helped fatigue some. But ANS still messed up. Also, did you try acupuncture? If so, your results? Thanks so much and god bless you. 🙏❤️

[@TheChipMcDonald]

Cardiovascular tissue damage from ACE2 covid infection sites could be anywhere, we need something that palliates that until we have a way to detect the damge and repair it "somehow". This is rapidly becoming a catastrophic situation. I shouldn't suddenly know multiple people in their 30s,40s,50s with cardiac/vascular issues " coincidentally " after getting covid a few times. People MUST get educated about the "invisible" effects of a virus that attacks cardiovascular tissue, this is a slow motion apocalypse movie...

[@JK-es9wu]

I am interested in your bet guesstimate to the following questins ; 1. Do you think people can develop long covid symptoms from the vaccine ? 2. An anti Compliment therapy is now available for autoimmune hemolytic anemia. Do you think that may have a role in treatment of long covid ? Thank you

[@traianliviudanciu8665]

High SARS COV2 replication will, theoretically,induce more inflammatory reaction. Did we know at what tissue temperature did SARS COV2 better replicate ? Why ? Because in 2020 at TWiV 659 at min29 virologist Christian Drosten suggest that SARS COV2 better replicate at low tissue temperature (35 -34C)

[@PurposefulPorpoise]

Remnant Viral Reservoir. Thats my bet. Treatment will have to be similar to Hep C. Heat Therapy or some miraculous new anti-viral.
