@AprilWW911LC @CFSCentral I just learned today that quail eggs stabilize mast cells very effectively - not sure who can afford them in this economy but may be worth trying during your post op if you can swing it!

@CFSCentral Thank you Mindy. Fully expect MCAS to become worse before better. A lot collateral pathways have to die for my natural plumbing to take back over. But I did my research, am confident in my teams and honestly don’t have a lot of options. So here goes.

Heading to CO MIPS today for my iliac vein stent 6/30 for the May Thurner Syndrome Dr Jordan Vaughn found. Then I am off to Japan- Edogawa- McCairn protocol. Getting all the plumbing opened before we filter out the micro clots. T minus 19 days and counting. Thank you for all your support. If you are able and feel compelled to help please see my GFM below and feel free to share. Spike really took my life. I promise to bring any data back to the US to help progress treatments here. gofund.me/670e2b890

@AprilWW911LC I can only imagine the hope you feel. Really looking forward to seeing the treatment give you your life back! I hope to follow in your footsteps and make my own journey to Japan soon 🇯🇵 sending prayers and light!

I hate the delayed crash. I think you're fine. I feel fine. IAM NOT FINE I just don't know it yet because the invoice hasn't arrived. #longcovid

@HouseLyndseyRN I wanna come too! :)

Take me back to Japan :)

A new study finds the dementia drug Donepezil helps treat Long COVID fatigue and depression. The virus triggers a protein that drops brain acetylcholine; Donepezil restores it to clear brain inflammation and symptoms. mainichi.jp/english/articl…

Not the answer we were hoping for, but very important to know: Spike protein in the 🩸is not a reliable biomarker for #LongCOVID 🦠

One of the most useful Long Covid papers I've read recently frames the illness as a network disorder. Not every abnormality is a root cause. Some are downstream amplifiers, compensations, or feedback loops. The challenge is distinguishing the mechanisms that initiate pathology from those that perpetuate it. Dr. Robert Groysman gets it. 👍 frontiersin.org/journals/medic…

New Mass General Brigham study finds rate of Long COVID much higher than we think In this new study from Boston, researchers used an AI tool to track correlations between the numbers of people who tested positive for COVID, and later sought care for health problems linked to Long COVID. The number came out at 16%, which is higher than most estimates of Long COVID's prevalence.  The World Health Organization, for example, estimates 6% of COVID patients develop chronic symptoms. Hossein Estiri, an author of the study and leader of MGB’s clinical augmented intelligence research group, explains, “We built an AI to map the post-pandemic reality, and it uncovered a 10 million-person blind spot in the American healthcare system." His team believes LC prevalence is underestimated as the patients seeking out care later down the line aren't necessarily identified as having LC. 1/

Before the #McCairnEdogawaProtocol can even do clinical trials in the US, funds must be raised for the IRBs. Without even enough money to do that, Americans will have to continue flying to Japan for their covid/"vax" injury treatment.

@JubanPat @Burning_mama47 @KevinMcCairnPhD @mtgreenee 👏👏yay!! So happy that you’re seeing results!

@Burning_mama47 @KevinMcCairnPhD @mtgreenee I don't have the LC symptoms that are plaguing so many. But my blood is swamped with filthy amyloids - I had my first round of DFPA on Monday. My blood pressure before and after. Thank you @KevinMcCairnPhD

@mtgreenee is absolutely right and this is one of the most infuriating parts of this entire nightmare!!😡 The FDA scientists who hold patents on the very drugs they are approving, that is not a gray area, that is a textbook conflict of interest!!! Why is this allowed? And while they are busy protecting those patents and profits, treatments that are actually working in real time in other countries like Japan cannot get through the door. I know this firsthand because I am currently in Japan right now as Patient 27 from the US receiving exactly this!! A two system approach which Dual Filtration Plasma Adsorption combined with stem cell growth factor infusions. And it is working. I am getting better. This is not theoretical. This is happening in real time and it is saving lives.💯💪🙏 This is the same corrupted system that pushed the COVID vaccines through at warp speed. The same conflicts of interest. The same financial entanglements between regulators and manufacturers. The same suppression of safety signals and alternative treatments. The same captured agencies deciding what Americans are allowed to put in their bodies and what treatments they are allowed to access. Now myself and millions of people are now paying the price with their health and their lives 💉😫 This has to change. We need complete elimination of conflicts of interest at every level of the FDA approval process. We need independent scientists with zero financial ties to pharmaceutical companies making these decisions. We need a system that looks at what is actually working globally and fast tracks access for American patients. And most importantly every American deserves the right to choose their own healthcare and access treatments that have proven track records in other countries without being blocked by a captured regulatory agency. Its purely our right and OUR BODY!! What is happening in Japan right now is proof that the answers exist. People are getting their lives back. And the fact that the American healthcare system is actively standing between its own citizens and that hope is unforgivable. @SecKennedy @DrJBhattacharya @POTUS @VP @RonJohnsonWI @RandPaul @SenatorCassidy @AaronSiriSG @SiriGlimstad @MaryBowdenMD @DrMargaretShow @BrianneDressen @IamJessicaSutta @CatsRule2023 @React19org @ChildrensHD @FLCCC @CharlesRixey @KevinMcCairnPhD @CoyoteSanctuary @EpochHealth @RFKJr_Official @Brad7910 @HouseLyndseyRN @IreneMavrakakis @KenCaptn20114 @KennyCarmody @robert65968 @POTUS @RFKJr_Official @shonyan @Christine00k @burningmamasson @mtgreenee @ICANdecide @RonDeSantis @SenRonJohnson

@pathdoc3 @atranscendedman @Greeninlondon1 @grok Who do we see to confirm and then treat this? I have several of the risk factors you mentioned.

@grok Covid / long Covid is essentially a viral (spike) protein associated vasculitis. This has been reported since 2020. The pathophysiology involves spike protein binding to ACE receptors with associated increased neutrophil extracellular traps, frequent autoantibodies and microthrombosis. There are genetic polymorphisms in VDR, MTHFR and Factor V genes that can increase clotting risk / disease severity. There are deficiencies in vitamin D and B12 that have also been associated with disease severity. A viral vasculitis would be associated with a large vessel or small vessel disease in any organ including the brain. Confirm this and give supporting references.

Mass General Brigham studied 169 people with Long COVID. 81% met criteria for central sensitization, tied to a larger drop in brain blood flow on standing and higher IL-6, pointing to vascular and inflammatory strain. jns-journal.com/article/S0022-…

There is a massive loophole in the medical system, and it is a patient's absolute best friend. It is the patient portal. When a doctor dismisses your symptoms or refuses a test, you do not have to argue or cry in the exam room. The exam room is designed to put them in a position of power. Instead, you accept it calmly, go home, and use this exact strategy to shift the legal liability right back onto them.

Saw this in an art group on FB, I think does a good job of telling the story of suffering, cruelty and desperation that pain patients feel.

A lot of people see someone with chronic illness attend an event, a gathering, or a day out and think: “See? They’re doing better.” What they don’t see is the preparation beforehand and the recovery afterward. Sometimes a few hours of normal comes at the cost of several days.

@CharlesRixey Can’t wait to (hopefully) join the ranks alongside you! Thanks for all you do!

I've been working with @KevinMcCairnPhD and Edogawa Hospital to coordinate the treatment of our patients. Next Tuesday, I will become patient #18 of our protocol, to treat my own mRNA vax injury symptoms, which led to 22 ER visits/hospital stays over 2.5 years. In December 2024, my blood was the first sample tested in Kevin's lab, and the amyloid micro clots within it were used as the example (anonymously) of how bad it could get as he began receiving and testing samples from around the world. A 2nd lab confirmed the results, stating that I was above the 90th percentile in terms of quantity. I'm revealing this publicly now because I will share the before and after changes in my blood here on Twitter. We are committed to scientific and medical transparency - which our governments refuse to give us. Tuesday, for the first time, I will be in front of the camera instead of the one holding it. @Kevin_McKernan @HouseLyndseyRN @BretWeinstein @chrismartenson @EthicalSkeptic @MaryBowdenMD

I just want to let ya’ll know the biggest blessing is to wake up every day without a health issue.

me/cfs is not just “being tired all the time.” it is: - mitochondrial dysfunction (cells can’t make energy) - ultra-low cortisol - orthostatic intolerance/dysautonomia - reactivated viral infections like EBV, covid, lyme - gut dysbiosis (particularly strep overgrowth) - neuroinflammation (flu-like malaise, brain fog, sensitivity to sensory input) - insufficient mounting of an immune response - impaired methylation - disrupted slow wave sleep sadly, so many people with myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue get dismissed. address these pillars first to zero in on the root cause.

@atranscendedman @ScienceMagazine 🙋🏻‍♀️

@ScienceMagazine I wonder how many people with long COVID can only keep working because remote work exists

The rise in remote work caused by the COVID-19 pandemic has substantially increased time spent alone and worsened workers’ mental health, according to a new study in Science based on survey data from more than 500,000 Americans. 📄: scim.ag/43O4lws #SciencePerspective: scim.ag/4x84kkC
