The Pathology of Long Covid - Why Viral Debris May Be The Cause | With Dr Bruce Patterson

you dont actually believe him when he says we are going to work this out, all post viral conditions including aids are caused by low glutathione levels pulling down the atp levels resulting in a weak immune system that cant expel dead virus particles from the system,thats what a post viral condition is ,thats whats keeping them stuck in sickness its a nutritional deficiency thing 18mg ivm and 50mg zinc taken daily for 4 days in a row ends all post viral conditions then they have to raise the glutathione which raises the atp job done

[@Beekind799]

@@dont_shoot_the_messenger glutathione fuels the cell mitochondria,cell mitochondria makes glucose and oxygen that makes the atp what fuels directly and indirectly every system in your body,the bodies foundation for health is glutathione,if it gets low it causes a catastrophic domino effect on health,thats the root cause of most sickness,disease and cancers in the body ,its the main reason america is the sickest country on earth,toxic gm foods have destroyed americas immune systems health,no glutathione

[@glisciousful]

It’s strange because anxiety /panic attacks does give similar symptoms that Long Covid gives , e.g. shortness of breathe , tachycardia, chest pressure, dizziness, bad sleep . So since doctors only know these symptoms as anxiety they would brush it off as that . This is connected directly to Covid and what it has done to our nervous system. Could it be the hyper inflammatory response that causes the damage to the nervous system ??

yeah, it's amazing how many doctors became psychologists! haha I experienced AWFUL gaslighting, and I'm a nurse. It was horrible.

[@hellyeah2299]

Finally! I have figured out what is wrong with me. For 20 months I've been dealing with a multitude of symptoms. The Dr's I saw all wanted to blame it on anxiety. I knew the anxiety was an effect, not a cause. I pray that i can get a good treatment now.

Great discussion and have been following these guys for a while with interest as they seem to be further down the line with understanding and treating long covid. I would consider myself now after 15 months to be mostly recovered but I have to maintain serious discipline to avoid setbacks such as no alcohol whatsoever, regulating my sleep every single night, taking anti histamines and generally been careful in the foods I eat. When any of these slip I almost immediately have symptoms within 24 hours that can last a few days.

I did similarly as you did: I was trying everything to stop from getting more sick. I was taking MANY immune support supplements. I had also doubled up on them... So I'm also thinking I might have gone over board trying to fight the virus, which was very important in early first phase (i.e. virus replicated phase, the first 3-7 days), but I continued doing that in the later phases - during and after the 2nd phase (the inflammatory phase, around Day 7-14), which was a mistake because during the inflammatory phase we should have tamped down the immune support, we should have been taken anti-inflammatory supplements instead of continued high doses of immune supporting supplements. I have started taking these anti-inflammatory regime 2 weeks ago: Quercetin + Vitamin C, Curcumin, , Boswellia, Pine Bark Extract, and high dose of DHA/EPA (Omega 3 fatty acids), and Serrapeptase (a proteolytic enzyme, taken on empty stomach), they are all powerful anti-inflammatory!!

Very helpful. I had very serious Covid within that initial time frame (May 2020).

Initially devastated with no stamina and a shot balance (disautonomia) No treatment at the time. Gradually improved but recently similar symptoms have returned, especially ataxia and bottomless fatigue and some suggestion of POTS. Managed to get some Ivermectin and took it for twelve days, and had four days of incredible recovery but, again, the symptoms have returned. I am convinced Dr Patterson's hypothesis is accurate, that this is due to persistent antigen expression= sub acute Covid recurring. I am also convinced that the initial Covid was somehow programmed to target whatever was the weakest 'system' in each recipient. In my case brain related, in others different co-morbidities, which accounted for the deaths of the obese, or disabled.

Is this interview absolutely awesome or what !!! I am pretty much fully recovered, so I have ignored the most recent updates. I would like to add that I had CFS when I was around 30 and then long haul now (when I am 60). I am now certain that they are both the same. I had the nausea symptoms (not cold/flu symptoms), April 2020 onset, exercise related relapses, arterial/cardiac inflammation symptoms. I did have diarrhea, but after that, I really did not have "gut" symptoms. I started feeling better before the vaccine, but after the vaccine, I definitely got better. I am not at full exercise pace yet, but I am getting back to it. The vaccine helped, but I can only guess at the mechanism. My theory, some people (long haulers) have a non-specific immune reaction to Covid, that works non-specifically attacking Covid as it would any "general" virus. The vaccine adds more specificity to the immune reaction and therefore provides that last push that is needed to prevent relapses. I am also certain that the arterial inflammation caused by Niacin (not the chemistry) has a role in "neutralizing" the effect of the monocytes. There is something about niacin that could be effective in all viral situations....next time I get a cold, I plan to try Niacin instead of vitamin C. NO EATING when taking niacin---for some reason the lipemia produced after eating neutralizes the effect of the niacin burn.

That part about the gut and the hormones are pretty interesting. I gained 15 kilos the first month of Covid, and I could never really understand why. I also have struggled to lose it again, partially of course since I can't work out anymore, but it is far above my general "can't be arsed to work out" weight gain range. But I also get hard, swollen "pregnant stomach", and get overall swollen, similar to oedema, some days before my period. The latter probably in connection to something hormonal. If there's a way to make this better, I'd be thrilled. And I'm from April 2020, for the record.

@@fabulousdoc ​ Seeing that I already follow the anti histamine therapy as much as I can without involving doctors(and have for months), I think I would have seen an improvement by now. I think some of the swelling for sure is related to inflammation(especially when it's the face swelling), since it gets worse when I am having a flare up. However, for the majority of it, I wouldn't be surprised if that was hormone or gut related, especially since I have a history of hormonal imbalance. It's not just that it's a weight gain, it's how it is distributed. But who knows! I suspect I will have to just live with it, regardless.

I was infected in March of 2020. I remember the first weekend I was really sick, my veins were sticking out of my head. It scared me so I covered up my forehead with my bangs. Fast forward three weeks and I started showing vascular problems... now I have pots. I think that early sign of my bulging veins on my forehead was a warning sign of becoming a long hauler. ugh

[@llmaaz3140]

@@neverseenblue11 for many of us are symptoms are caused for different reasons. I think those of us that are having vascular problems might want to get a simple blood information test. Checking for resistance to proteins C. Many people that died of Covid had hyper clotting of the blood mechanism. Showing too many platelets or higher cholesterol all the sudden… this will also cause inflammation… It’s a part of your body pain your joints hurting feels like arthritis. Definitely a contributor to brain fog. Some people suffer from “Factor 5 Leiden”. Which will give you a tendency to have hyper clotting in your blood… Many people don’t know they have this… Protein C malfunction in your blood. More common than you know. Many doctors believe so many people are sick because their body continues to “micro clot”. Micro clotting it’s not gonna show up on an x-ray… And it’s not gonna show up on a blood test unless you specifically test for it. And you may be able to live on miserably with it… But some people will eventually get a clot in her lung their leg or stroke heart attack etc. virus or illness attacks the body… The blood begins to thicken anyway it’s a response an immune response… And your body is prepared to take care of internal bleeding… External… Some peoples mechanism does not get turned off. I am just now learning about those if anybody else knows or has information I would love it.

[@gwendolynwehage6336]

I have not had the virus as far as I know but I have had the vaccine and have had all these symptoms. Inflammation in my entire body, fatigue that does not quit. I have bloating in my belly, weight gain quickly as much as 25 pounds in two months, and pain in my body. I have had high WBC since the vaccine, pericarditis is another diagnosis I had. I am convinced now that I may be a "long Covid" victim without it being diagnosed. I am about to try antihistamines to help. Some doctors have said the antihistamines tend to help with the virus symptoms. I hope you will keep researching those who had the vaccine who also have side affects almost as though they had covid.

I absolutely love you all for helping us and giving us long haulers hope! My scariest symptom is screaming loud tinnitus. Im desperately trying to get a video appointment with Dr. P. I took his cytokine panel and my index is high. I need maraviroc /statin/ivermectin immediately. Im 9 weeks long haul. I had a mild illness, that I treated VERY effectively with ivermectin /vitamin d, vitamin c, zithromycin, methylprednisolone, zinc ect. I felt 90 percent in only 3 days and fully recovered in 6 days. Then 3 weeks feeling great, i relapsed into long covid and deafening tinnitus!

@@aimee7586 I had my appointment with Dr Patterson. I have been fighting with my insurance company for weeks, that will not cover one of my meds. The medication is 3000 cash. I'm going to have to pay out of pocket next week. So, I will be starting Dr. P's 4 med treatments for 6 weeks. I will check back in a few weeks after I start, with an update. Tom

@@aimee7586 Thanks for asking. Aimee, I havent started treatment yet. My medication was prescribed 5 weeks ago, but I am fighting with my insurance company to cover the medication. The original plan was to pay cash for the meds, until Walgreens informed me, each 30 day supply of Maraviroc was $3000 dollars (robbery and greed). Big pharma is a disgrace. I just admitted defeat and am going to pay the thousands of dollars on Monday. I will start treatment finally, on Monday and check back in a couple weeks with my progress.

[@Unitedstatesian]

It is interesting that he mentions statins. I started taking B3 with the flush effect (50 to 150mg a day) in January and it greatly helped my brain fog. It appears that B3 seems to kind of work like a statin. The one company that sold low-dose, flush-effect B3 in Spain stopped selling it in Spain (Brexit). Now I have to pay a lot to get it sent from England.

[@jdknight-mark633]

I tested positive and mistook my symptoms for bronchitis. I had a very mild case of Covid. And NOW I am experiencing pain, fatigue and brain fog. The pain is muscle soreness and joints compromised.

[@naturespleasantries]

How are you now?

[@jdknight-mark633]

Thanks for asking… I rescheduled a doctor appt. for quarantine reasons. The procedure and quarantine release coincided. Part of my disability is due to the invasive procedure and part of it mimics long haul Covid symptoms. My understanding is that trauma coinciding with Covid exaggerates other precursors. At this time I am in pain daily, Braxton hicks breathing to cope. 25% of what I was before. The cause for the pain is diverse. It is obvious when it pertains to the medical procedure, kinda, the pain is not isolated to that area causing me to wonder if a good portion is due to long Covid.

[@turkdouglas]

Thanks for this Gez. Always appreciated. I must admit I find myself quite frustrated after watching them sometimes purely because I can't access the treatments, don't have a gp who can help, and end up with nagging questions about if I'll ever recover and am I doing things (like exercise) that might be working against me. It leaves me scared I have to admit.

[@RUNDMC1]

Back right off on the exercise until your other symptoms abate - that’s the best advice I’ve got for you! Good luck Stuart 👍

[@turkdouglas]

@@RUNDMC1 I guess the question is - what is exercise? Is a walk 'exercise'? That's the only thing I do and it keeps me sane. What do you do Gez, exercise wise?

[@dedesunbeam9361]

Stuart, the treatment program Dr. Patterson is heading up will assign you a doctor from within their network (GP) to work with you if you are in the U.S. They are also beginning this program in the U.K. and E.U. For more information, see : kzbin.info/www/bejne/e6SrnWZ6iauKh8U

I had Covid 2x in 2022 .The second was in July and was by far the worst of the two. By October I started feeling sick again off and on. By January I was full on sick in so many ways. My PCP and cardiologist blew me off. Here it is June of 2023 and a am only 20% better. Where I live the vast majority of traditional doctors are not accepting the idea of long covid. I am glad to see some doctors doing the hard research. I am tired of feeling like crap.
