This is a long post but everyone should read it. Because you are either affected by “Long COVID” or you know someone who is, even if it doesn’t have this label yet.
Millions are suffering silently with “Long COVID“ symptoms months or years after having COVID. Others are not affected at all, making this undefined mix of fatigue, respiratory, neurological, cardiovascular, loss of brain function, malaise, tinnitus, etc a hard condition to pin down. This also means many sufferers second- guess themselves, especially when many doctors and even specialists tell you ‘it’s all in your head’.
There are those who have totally lost their ability to work, and the many who have taken on some or all of these potentially debilitating symptoms just as ‘fatigue’ or ‘aging’ or just the ‘new normal’.
All of us need to know that right in South Africa’s backyard, in Stellenbosch, world-first science is being undertaken that proves the devastating outcomes of post-COVID micro-clotting and its related endothelial damage, and are developing strategies to beat Long COVID.
Think about it: your blood turns ‘thick’ with millions of small hedgehog- like clots formed around COVID spike proteins, which then bash into and rip off the inner linings of your blood vessels, which in turn lose their ability to do their job: transport oxygen and nutrients to the far reaches of your body. It is then easy to understand how every major system in your body can be affected. Hence the long and often random list of Post-COVID symptoms that make non-sufferers think we’re making it up.
If you need scientific proof, the team has already published a number of peer-reviewed papers. For me, seeing actual images of these micro clots and endothelial debris in my blood was finally proof that this condition is real.
A growing international network is now taking this on and building the knowledge and methods to help to overturn this scourge which the OECD estimates will cost the world $1-trillion per year. That is, if one can really put a monetary value on the human toll on individuals, families and business.
If you know or think you’re affected by Long COVID, or just don’t feel as well as you were a while back, contact Biocide Technologies.
Go and have yourself tested for micro-clotting. You’ll physically see images what is bumping around in your vascular system if you have them.
Be an early adopter of the potentially life-changing treatments already available. I did. I already feel the improvement.
What have you got to lose?
Long COVID is the first illness in history to be defined by patients who came together on social media.
Biocode CEO, Este Burger, talks about the revolutionary role of patient advocacy in defining Long COVID, and explains the important role that patient accounts play in Biocode’s Long COVID research.
