I had LongCovid 14 months.

Korean Pine Needle pills made the most dramatic improvement, but there were a ton of supplements that helped along the way leading me to being cured of LongCovid over 2 years ago. I feel sorry for people who rely on doctors instead of methodical experimentation with supplements.

Doctors just gaslight and provide no solutions - it’s been over 3 years they’ve had patients like this and best they can do is say “maybe cells aren’t using energy as well” with this research. Modern medicine is a joke, it’s just a sick people bankrupting scheme… at least with herbs/supplements you have anecdotal evidence from others and a history of cultures safely using those herbs.

While you're right that doctors can often be some of the least competent and most unhelpful professionals to exist, I'd just like to highlight that most people spend thousands of tens of thousands of dollars on various supplements with no or limited results.

And a lot of the time, the supplements have understudied or unnoticed side effects or risks, not to mention the fact that they target the actual root causes as rarely as the meds do.

Not everyone can afford or has the heart for this either, and sooner or later, we NEED mainstream healthcare to have the answers.
