Long Covid

In spite of my best efforts I caught COVID two, maybe three times during the pandemic. It was not fun but my symptoms only lasted less than 48 hours. Why? Because as a research scientist I already knew quite a bit about viruses and immunity and used several tools explained in my article “IMPROVING RESISTANCE TO CORONAVIRUS (COVID-19) AND OTHER VIRAL INFECTIONS” which I wrote at the very, very beginning of the Coronavirus pandemic. Unfortunately because I have a very small following not many people were able to learn this information, but it kept many people in my orbit out of the hospital.

It seems that many people still require help, and now that the pandemic has passed (this does not mean the virus isn’t still in circulation, it is just passed the pandemic stage where the majority of the population now has some immunity), the scientific evidence coming out of studies seems to indicate that those with long covid harbor persistent reservoirs of the virus those with long covid harbor persistent reservoirs of the virus harbor persistent reservoirs of the virus, meaning that the immune system is not strong enough to finally finish them off. The good news is that this means all that needs to be done is to also follow my instructions from my first article on viruses and immunity which are:

Aspirin (325 mg twice a day, adults only)
Riboflavin (about 50 mg) once a day
Sunshine 1 hour after riboflavin, if possible.

Aspirin is slightly antiviral and helps cells to resist viral infection while riboflavin directly supports the immune system. But it’s important to use aspirin and not other NSAIDs as only aspirin has antiviral properties while other NSAIDs like acetaminophen or ibuprofen can actually inhibit the immune response. Aspirin can also have some side effects like stomach irritation so if that occurs stop using it.

The reason for requiring riboflavin is not that it’s an alternative health treatment—there are actually opportunistic microbes which can colonize our bodies and produce a riboflavin analog called roseoflavin which interrupts riboflavin pathways. Riboflavin is required for the function of hemoglobin which facilitates respiration and for oxidase enzymes which provide a source of oxygen for the immune system to attack invasive pathogens, and the presence of roseoflavin producers in the body interfere with these pathways necessary for immune function and survival during serious immunological insult such as what occurs with a novel virus like coronavirus. Most mortality from COVID likely occurred due to riboflavin depletion and since riboflavin is required for oxygen transport in the body. Taking a riboflavin supplement easily overcomes the influence of roseoflavin and, with the help of aspirin which can temporariliy inhibit the virus, promote the immune system to eradicate infection.

Riboflavin also reacts with sunlight and is made more antiviral by getting sun exposure after dosing riboflavin (about an hour afterward), which is why sunlight exposure also helps.

Not having long COVID I’m not entirely sure of this approach, but it should work since this same approach also strongly reduced symptoms and that it appears long COVID is caused still by the virus itself. If yo want to know more about why this works read my other articles on COVID, I’m currently too swamped with other research to write an exhaustive article repeating all that information. Good luck!
