there was that one paper about SarsCov2 hanging out in gut microflora right?

anecdotally i think probiotocs might help Long covid

Good information and discussion. I used serrapeptase after recovering from main symptoms, to clear/clean biofilm of gut - but I only use it for 7 days at any one time. I've read of some people using it for 12 months + with no problems. But I've read accounts of people have sudden severe reaction after 3 weeks. Used before once - had to stop after 10-14 days because stools became very pale and blood iron levels dropped below normal. I've read it's sometimes used as a chelator to reduce mineral build up. Different people have different tolerances, have to be careful with it. Good observations also about keeping gum/teeth clear. Lemon tea (real lemons) - hydrogen peroxide mouthwash - daily nasal rinse (only the lower cavity) - bio yoghurt on empty gut.

Really great post, thank you. Anecdotally I may have witnessed this recently. Omicron was light, only a few days, light fever and no stop in work etc, feeling fine apart from the voice going.. then I'm feeling better and negative test but then start feeling worse days later...low grade fever, feeling out of it, and my first thought was secondary infection due to immune suppression.

Many of the herbs I used are also known for their potential biofilm disruption: ginger, black seed, reishi and other mushrooms that may override some of the immune evasion.. and now I'm thinking about the green propolis study. But the difficulty remains getting to the biofilms - they're just really tough. I certainly don't like the idea of spike hiding out skewing my immune response..

It could also explain why long covid seems to preferentially hit people with less initial symptoms.. a really good fever might help degrade better than chemical attack.

Presumably virus cannot stay there without replication forever though...how long would you say it survives, and would hyperthermia/sauna be one way to degrade it quicker?

This ties a couple of seemingly unrelated ideas together. Decades ago, dentist Weston Price theorized that many diseases originate in the mouth. In 2004, researchers found that viruses can "hit and hide", being dormant in the body for years. Recently, Belgian researchers who all tested negative for covid were sent to Antarctica where, months later, they experienced a covid outbreak.

I don’t have the answers, but I’d like to send a special greeting to Dr. Science for his contribution to this Frankenstein monster.

Is Sars-Cov-2 a virus or a mycobacterium? Certainly there are cell wall deficient mycobacterium which look exactly like a "virus" and pass through the same filters. In 2020 Dr. Lawrence Broxmeyer isolated M. avium in patients with Covid-19. In 2003 Chinese researchers located a new form of Chlamydia pneumoniae in patients with Sars (M. avium is accompanied by passenger mycoplasma as well). If it is a bacteria, then the treatment must include antibiotics, especially clarithromycin. It is a pity that solithromycin has not been approved yet.

Covid-19 - M. avium

Covid-22 - M. influenzae

M. influenzae then becomes M. africanum, exactly as it did in 1918.

The previous one was brilliant, this one was boring/inconsequential. Is it the same "other person", or are there several?

OK - microbiome among first suspects for COV2 latency, among which biofilms.

There - fits in 48 characters.

Cheers.
