Long Covid... navigating the journey beyond the infection...
Long Covid
My journey into the Long COVID space began in April 2020 when I encountered my first patient struggling with lingering COVID-19 symptoms. This individual faced the daunting prospect of losing her job due to persistent health challenges. Unable to invest in supplements or costly treatments, we adopted a back-to-basics approach, focusing on dietary optimisation and targeted support for the oral and nasal microbiomes. Remarkably, within two weeks, her condition improved significantly, allowing her to return to work full-time. This experience, alongside previous research conducted during my son’s recovery, confirmed the impact of microbiomes on Long COVID recovery.
​
Motivated by this case study, I became an active member of both the Long COVID Coalition and the Long COVID 19 Foundation. I began collaborating with researchers and healthcare professionals worldwide, delving into various aspects of Long COVID. These include spike protein detoxification, inflammation management, micro-clot/micro-fibrin formation, and mast cell activation, among other related symptoms. Further research has identified that the spike protein acts as a bacteriophage, releasing toxic peptides into the systemic circulation. The microbiomes provide a perfect environment for viral persistence.
​
Over the last four years, I have become the referring long covid nutritionist for both the Dr. Finlay Long COVID Clinic, working closely alongside Dr Ben Sinclair and Dr. Tina Peers Menopause Consultancy. Additionally, I accept referrals from a number of doctors across the UK. My involvement in research and conferences addressing Long COVID and vaccine injuries has further solidified my expertise in these areas. Earlier in 2024 I coined the term "Long COVID Microbiome Phenotype," which you can read more about on my blog. This has enabled me to collect data supporting the hypothesis that viral or spike protein persistence disrupts commensal bacterial species in the microbiomes. This disruption affects communication networks between the brain, lungs, and mitochondria, contributing to ongoing inflammation and endothelial dysfunction.
​
In summary, my journey in the Long COVID space began with a patient's remarkable recovery through microbiome-focused interventions. This experience led me to actively engage in research, collaborate with experts worldwide, and offer accessible support to those in need.
Microbiome science...
Understanding the microbiome is complex and to date there is no such thing a a microbiome expert, because everyone knows a lot about very little when it comes to this area of science. Microbial communities engage in sophisticated communication and information transfer that involves classical chemical signalling to quantum mechanics. This includes quorum sensing, biofilm formation, and electrical signalling between bacteria and where there is electric there is noise, magnetism, light and water, no one considers these facts when they study the microbiome.
​
To think that a probiotic supplement or some fancy microbiome technology is all that is needed to shift these structures is misguided. Effective treatments and interventions will require a more holistic, systems-level understanding rather than overly simplistic thinking. This over simplistic treatment approaches leads to further disruption to the microbiome.
Microbiome restoration
INVESTIGATE
Conduct a food diary analysis
Gather health history data
CALM
Temporary removal of trigger foods.
Stabilise inflammation, with herbs, pectins, essential fats and molecular hydrogen
REBALANCE
Introduce specific prebiotics, herbal formulas and reset circadian biology
REPOPULATE
Diversify food intake to encourage optimal regeneration and diversification of the gut microbiome
Circadian and Quantum Biology
The delicate balance of our microbiome and immune system is intricately linked to our body's circadian rhythms. Aligning these internal clocks with natural day-night cycles is crucial for optimal recovery and overall health. Beyond this synchronisation, several other factors play vital roles in supporting microbiome health. These include exposure to natural light and activating the internal biophotons network, the influence of sound frequencies, the presence of exclusion zone water, the process of deuterium depletion, and the effects of Earth's magnetic field. By considering and optimising these elements, you create an environment that naturally supports your microbiome, mitochondrial function and supports your immune system.
