Hi Dloos,
Gosh, I’m sorry to hear about things getting worse with the flu. And how expensive paxlovid is!! OUCH!

There was government funding for free Paxlovid, but this has run out now. Unfortunately.

There’s been a lot of new research and understanding about Long Covid. Here’s an article summarizing all the potential issues that should be looked into and then there’s also treatment options mentioned for each.

Also, Dr Bruce Patterson, MD, virologist out of Stanford asserts that LC is from the spike protein not being cleared in non classical monocytes, causing them to NOT die off in their usual timeframe of a few dats, but become immortal “zombie” and start attacking the endothelial lining of all blood vessels. This is the upstream causation of all the downstream issues LC sufferers are having.

There’s an actual test that measures if you have these zombie monocytes and he has a treatment protocol! I’ve done the test and it shows positive spike proteins.

Of note: your doctors need to make sure there’s no reactivation of other viruses prior to using his treatment protocol, otherwise it can make your other virus reactivation worse. My infectious disease specialist for Long Covid tested me for EBV, CMV,VZV, Herpes and I’m negative for all of them so will be starting the protocol soon 🙏🏻

The challenge is that I have uncontrolled SIBO/SIFO/IMO (which gut related issues are also common with LC BECAUSE of these spike proteins causing inflammation in the gut causing poor motility and dysbiosis) However, I need to find some stability before starting the protocol even though the protocol is needed to help my dysbiosis…

Bit of a catch 22, but will figure it out!

Paxlovid is recommended for those of us with LC, and his protocol if get Covid again.

It’s not surprising you feel worse after the flu, it’s just adding another thing to fight and cause more inflammation and attack on your immune and nervous system.

I know I feel waaay worse whenever I’ve been sick! Dr Patterson said that getting rid of the spike proteins help your immune system finally find it’s regulation again. Right now anyone having the spike proteins in their monocytes disrupts their entire immune system.

He’s finally gotten approval to conduct a trial showing his results. But he has been doing case studies showing that his protocol clears the spike proteins.

His protocol is atorvastatin and maravoric. If interested here’s a link for the test, my ID doc says just the spike protein test is most accurate, then you can schedule a call with Dr Patterson or one of his doctors to go over your results. He’ll write up a plan for his protocol and you give to your doctor to order the medication and follow you and do labs monitoring your liver etc. Then you can reschedule another follow up with him in 6 weeks once on his protocol as well.

Hope this is helpful!
