I am re-posting this from 2020, we need all the natural immuno-health we can get. This was a regimen of optional, organ and system-specific natural supplements that helped me get over long covid. I put this together with the help of a professional natural medicine doctor, and my mother, who has been a strict natural medicine practitioner her whole life, and mine too.
TLDR scroll to the bottom
I had COVID in June of 2020. I had mild symptoms, but they lasted for 1 month, and included shortness of breath, fever, heart palpitations, foggy brain, and COVID rash on my hands and feet.
After my fever and rash left, I continued to feel shortness of breath. Before the illness, I was happily hiking up to 10,000 feet twice a week. Afterwards, I would gasp for air simply lying in bed, or standing up. It felt like I was trapped in my own body. And every so often, my heart would pound randomly. My resting heart rate was high, and my blood pressure was elevated (140/90).
Western medicine is great for saving lives, but when it comes to systemic long term health, not so much. So I turned to natural medicine. I put together a regiment of supplements designed for me, my particular symptoms and the specific organs I needed to care for (lungs, cardiovascular, and liver). After consulting with several Naturopathic doctors, this is the protocol I came up with.
Because we live in a litigious society with little common sense, I must make the disclaimer that this is in no way a medical opinion, and I am not giving advice to anyone. If you feel naturopathic medicine will help you, please consult a professional before trying any of these things. There. done.
However, after 6 months, my lungs have come back to full function, my resting heart rate has mostly subsided (65 in the morning, after getting out of bed) and I have very few heart palpitations. Some of these things I will continue for the rest of my life. Combined with exercise and a healthy diet, I have lost weight and now weigh what I did in my early 30’s, and feel fantastic.
Some of my friends have asked me to share this, so I am sharing it here. I’m happy to answer any questions about my experience with this protocol. May we all heal and thrive in health, harmony, and happiness.
