If you have Long COVID, or you tried many types of supplements and treatments and had some or little improvement you should seriously consider getting tested for herpes viruses such as EBV, CMV and human herpes viruses (HHV).
Coxsackieviruses also play a role in Long COVID and long term dysfunction, and presence of autoantibodies.
I had COVID in Sept 2020 and it slammed my energy production. At that time I had yet to hear anything about spikes impacting mitochondria, but within several weeks, and nothing I did helping, I finally figured out by a process of elimination that it had something to do with my mitochondria and ATP production. Several things I took eventually made small incremental improvements, but other things (vitamins, minerals) didn't seem to help at all: CoQ10 and NAC being among the failures. The first thing that made a difference was coconut oil— the lauric acid component is supposedly ANTIVIRAL! And the MCTs help with energy production. Later I discovered that Ivermectin seemed to help, but not a huge effect, then copper gluconate made a noticible improvement. It is required for energy production, and apparently many people are not getting anywhere nearly enough because of paranoia about toxicity. (And a high dose will cause a zinc deficiency.)
The last addition (a few weeks ago) that made a noticible difference was niacin, 100mg/day (an affect on NAD+?).
It has been almost three years now since COVID, and this whole thing has been a huge "pain in the ass"! But I'm finally feeling almost normal again: just older and very deconditioned. Years ago I tested positive for EBV, and had periodically experienced bouts of severe fatigue that would last maybe two weeks, but nothing like this Long COVID situation!
I know everyone's physiology and nutrient status is going to be different, but maybe what helped me might also help someone else if they seem to be making no progress.
Thank you for making this information available! On a side note: what/ who is your target audience . . . biochemist-types? My background is in nursing, and your articles are very interesting but a bit over my head. This COVID-virus connection is very important, but a lay audience probably won't try to "dig into" it.
Yes, EBV and CMV are both from the family of herpes viruses. And as you pointed out each person situation is different, in fact (something I decided to leave to another time) the tissue the herpesvirus resides and the type influence a lot of symptoms, damage, etc.
Niacin will help in more ways than one, but the end product being related to NAD+ is indeed helpful. I decided to write a entire thing on how to deal with these latent viruses to different degrees. Niacin is among one of the supplements I recommend most people with some sort of condition to experiment with.
Your bouts of severe fatigue are related to EBV reactivating most likely, and producing those enzymes or a strong immune reaction and sucking up all your "bioenergy".
I never thought of target audience, I would say anyone curious in understanding the myriad of effects the virus induces, and willing to learn ? I actually just leave the information up in the "air" so anyone may make use of it and perhaps find something that can be helpful to them.
And, I must admit, I've certainly learned a whole lot more about virology, immunology, pathology, public health (or lack thereof!), Big Pharma; and how corrupt, rotten, and evil our government is, since the beginning of COVID!
So, what is YOUR background? What is a "Complexity consultant"? Are you in medicine, or a professor or something? How did you get into all this stuff????
Academic background is mathematics, started medicine but was too poor to continue.
A complexity consultant is someone who works with interdisciplinary field, often analysis, my previous work was Intelligence related (Private Intelligence firm).
Left that life and by chance substack is my job now (I am Brazilian). Happier this way for multiple reasons.
I got into this stuff because 99% of doctors are incompetent, so either I fixed myself or I would die or become a cripple.
Great work here JP! TurboCancer is what resulted in our learning about fenbendazole. Close relative, with no breast tissue from 2009 masectomy, developed metastatic Breast cancer “everywhere” in late 2021 after two moderna covid shots. Lung, bone, kidney, pancreas. At 83, she refused all treatment and went home to hospice care. Nothing to lose so she took fenbendazole (222 mg per day)...available from pet store or amazon. Cancer gone in 4 months, she felt and looked better in 1 month! Read her Case Report at https://fenbendazole.substack.com
No side effects! We don’t have to die from most solid tumor cancers any more! Fenben is cheap, OTC, side effect free antiparasitic medicine that cures...cures! cancer. Even kills cancer stem cells spawned by traditional chemotherapy. It will change your life to know that you can not worry about cancer. Read the Substack, all the science and supporting findings are there. Not selling a thing, not even subscriptions. This is a pay-it-forward effort to help others eradicate their cancers.
One of the central papers here literally was done PRIOR to vaccines. Both will induce the same, the vaccines are just faster, but feel free to minimize the virus.

I think I covered that paper a few months ago when it was getting reject left and right or one closely similar. Thank you
Its getting coverage on alt media under the headline
"Affordable Diabetes Drug Reduces Long-COVID Risk By 41 Percent: Study"
I need to check out to see if it is the same, but thank you :D even if it is
Isn't EBV a type of Herpesvirus?

It is not the first, second, or third time I hear about some using it to help treat cancer. This and Ivermectin looks promising.
