Igor- do you really believe whoever created this virus knew all these “effects” we are seeing today? Somehow I don’t think they knew all this, yet I don’t think they are upset by it either.
I think you give the creator of the virus too much credit.
They had the means to have a hunch for much of what is happening because of the individual components that were glued together to make the Spike. On the topic of chronicity, for instance, there are HIV motifs in Spike that were well studied in the context of HIV. One way that chronic illness with evasion of the immune system occurs is by passing the virus directly cell to cell via syncytia, triggered by a motif from HIV. Wuhan researchers published an article about treating Covid with meds that stop syncytia building in April 2020 – very early in the epidemic. It seems that nobody paid attention to that article when searching for clinical solutions.
OK, now that I've wasted my morning on that entertaining subreddit, I want to point out that a lot of people are complaining about bone pain. I haven't thought this through yet for what that might indicate in terms of cells, but it's an interesting topic for all of us to think about.
I've read about this numerous times, but so far it doesn't seem to affect everyone. I know some people getting sick with something constantly, but then I know others who had Covid and they are never sick. So hopefully some of us will escape this outcome. Fingers crossed.
I wrote many moons ago I expect this to affect 10-15% of people. Which is a ton, but that was highballing it, perhaps 3 to 5% is more realistic, but who knows with these current variants
The biology appears to have changed with the onslaught of the injections, so that there may be progressively more people who don't clear the virus effectively.
In conversation with a friend I had compared "Long Covid" to the chronic EBV syndrome which was popular in the 1990's. Subsequently I read a paper that proposed that Long Covid was a co-infection of SARS-CoV-2 and EBV, or a few alternate (single) viruses.
I would expect that the trend will progress towards your original estimate, cf. "VAids."
I was under the impression that one should not take melatonin on a regular basis as it can interfere with the body own mechanism of producing it. Perhaps, John, you have written plenty in this regard. I take plenty of supplements a day and have also read warning about giving the liver too much work. I do have melatonin among them but refrain to take it on a daily basis. Very few stacks cover the depth and complexity you address in yours. Covid is a full encyclopaedia for those who started at Volume I and I can tell that several more volumes are yet to be written.
No, not true, the "biggest" problem with oral tryptophan supplementation, as per other reply I wrote, is the pathway the body will use to metabolize it.
So, does this mean that melatonin will help for long Covid? My vaccinated former nanny has lingering issues with taste and smell since she had Covid, and I'm wondering what supplements to recommend to her.
So after nearly 4 years of no cold/virus symptoms of any kind, I believe I finally got COVID-19 (have not been tested). Started with some chills last Tuesday, then intermittent fatigue which has persisted. A slight sore throat last Friday and Saturday, a minor but productive cough in the morning that has persisted, and completely lost smell and taste on Sunday. The fatigue is annoying. The other symptom seems neurological and is hard to describe, but I would characterize it as a combination of boredom, discontent, and malaise. I had depression a couple different times in my life and it’s not like this. I hypothesize that it has something to do with brain chemistry and/or hormones. Does COVID affect testosterone or dopamine or something?
Does anyone here have any good guidance on how to take supplements, i.e. with or without food? I mean natural supplements (like berberine, olive leaf) but also amino acids like NAC, etc.
I don't find any conclusive suggestions on Google. I know that multivitamins with minerals should be taken with food due to fat solubility, but what about these? Are there any general rules?
Berberine without food, NAC with food, tryptophan, melatonin without food, serrapeptase, natto or lumbrokinase without food, empty stomach. Peptides with food.
Most of the other vitamins and such don’t matter much besides these.
Hi John, did you block me intentionally on Twitter -Peter Barnicle. I follow your posts, and agree with you. Not sure why you blocked me. I only referred to Dr David Gorski blocking me too?
Give me your @ because my block list is literally too big. I have been getting a lot of bots (actual bots) and a lot of accounts to disrupt mine so I am "trigger happy".
I thought the block list was chronological but it isn't.
Yeah I think when I was formating the text and fixing some errors I must have deleted the link from the text, I fixed it, but in any case here is the video -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DE9b1dxy_pE

We do not really know, so it is mostly speculation
John, subreddit /r/COVID19positive is full of such people, testing positive for months and being mildly sick.
A very saddening reality and a cause for consternation.
I call persistent infections and frequent reinfections "Chronic Covid". It will take us all down.
Whoever designed this lab chimera was a brilliant, but evil virologist.

Depends on how many moons...

So 'happy' reading about sleep deprivation's effects as a night shift worker...
I seem to remember reading many years ago that supplemental tryptophan was hardly orally bioavailable. Is that not true?
No, not true, the "biggest" problem with oral tryptophan supplementation, as per other reply I wrote, is the pathway the body will use to metabolize it.

Nac and glycine combo are the most important. Then maybe berberine.

Melatonin and trytophan!
Thank you!!

Zinc and certain B vitamins cause nausea/queasiness on an empty stomach
My bottle of BPC peptide tablets says "take with water." Should I really be taking these with food for best absorption?
Tablet are different, you can do either 👍 and it’s fine.
Thank you!

Is the link for SNP video missing? This is a great educational piece. Thanks for the information.
