#LongCovid has presented a rare opportunity to truly understand how the human immune system works. The scientific discoveries will not only help #MECFS and LC, but will pave the way for understanding all immune diseases; which is pretty much every disease.
A generation of young, previously healthy people are deteriorating with severe acquired brain dysfunction. Labeling this as “brain fog” erases severity, obscures biology, and delays recognition of true neurologic injury.
This warrants attention and reposting for awareness 🧵
This is #LongCovid and all post-infectious diseases in a nutshell. This is why we will never get well with the typical conventional medical approach of one pill. 💊
"[It is suggested that] Long COVID (LC) arises from intersecting pathways including viral persistence, intestinal dysbiosis and barrier compromise with microbial translocation, innate immune activation with neutrophil extracellular traps (NET) and thromboinflammation, and immune dysregulation with features of exhaustion and autoimmunity..
Hematogenous and gut-brain pathways may then deliver inflammatory mediators to the central nervous system (CNS), resulting in BBB disruption and glial activation that underpin nervous system disorders in LC..
Treatment regimens aimed at lowering antigen load, restoring mucosal barrier integrity and modulating myeloid/coagulation pathways may warrant investigation as novel therapeutic strategies to treat LC."
Amen.

It is now established that the COVID-19 virus suppresses the immune system by inducing lymphopenia and inhibiting the T cells. Multiple consequences as a result.
You can’t see it here but I am in this march and there are many American flags. It’s totally peaceful. These are people who love our country and are willing to fight for it.
Republicans are telling you we are terrorists. But we are the real patriots.
OH. MY. GAWD. The protest against Trump is stretching all the way to the White House! No wonder Trump ran away like a frightened pre-pubescent toddler when he was told how massive the No Kings protest in DC was going to be. The American people despise the loathsome piece of shit.
#RECOVERTLC2025 Is anyone talking about migraines from LC? One of my biggest struggles is that so many meds (and supps) they recommend give me a migraine. Usually once the med wears off. Example is LDN. I feel good on it but as soon as it wears off I get a migraine. Any ideas? 🤷🏻♀️
@VivekGRamaswamy Nor should drug companies. 😩 if I can’t buy this product directly without written permission from someone else, it should not be treated like a regular commercial product.
Fmr. Republican Congressman Fred Upton: I’ve never voted for a Democrat for president and I never thought I would. But I’m proud to say that I cast my ballot for Kamala Harris. She's strong and a committed public servant. Trump is completely unfit to serve as commander-in-chief
The NIH is hosting a conference this week on the #RECOVER program for #Longcovid. Most of the rockstar scientists are there like @resiapretorius@microbeminded2@NancyKlimas to name a few. So thankful for their constant effort and support. I feel encouraged and hopeful. 🤗🙏
This week, @thesicktimes is closely following the NIH's RECOVER-Treating Long COVID meeting, which kicks off this new initiative to advance new clinical trials.
We'll be regularly updating this article with recaps over the next three days: https://t.co/ditm3nRk07
@MichelleObama@DemConvention@KamalaHarris@Tim_Walz Love you 😘 @MichelleObama buuuttt, why would you talk about your parents attitude toward money when you know the other side is gonna sling mud for all the expensive houses you own?! 🤷🏻♀️ Ugh you didn’t need to go there and provide fodder for the other side. 😩 Very hypocritical
Has anyone participated or signed on to this trial for #LongCovid? Sounds like they are starting with developing a biomarker test to check the ACE2 enzyme then developing their drug (peptide) called NACE2i that reprograms the ACE 2 system to block Covid.
