So my lay understanding of what I read here is that the spike protein triggers the clotting process with the result that abnormal microclots are formed. So, because this is happening in Long Covid patients this seems to indicate that viral reservoirs are in fact in play? (Or is it that even dead Covid particles are also doing this in which case does this mean that the body can’t clear out the dead cells?) If there are viral reservoirs, the key is to get rid of them to stop the microclots. I have long covid and have just started doing high dose vitamin C IVs of 50 mg of Vit C per treatment. I am still extremely fatigued but my stamina has shown a very small improvement (likely not noticeable to anyone on the outside and has not greatly increased my functioning but I can have a shower without feeling like it’s then the only thing I can do that day.) The vitamin C is supposed to act as an antiviral and eliminate any viral reservoirs. It also has other benefits as an antioxidant and in healing wounds. (This does make me wonder about increased clot formation)
I have an alternate view on lung physiology that dismisses the notion of oxygen and carbon dioxide gaseous exchange
The article is titled
We breathe air not oxygen
I take you though all the steps that lead to this statement
Including how oxygen is manufactured
How oxygen is calibrated
Eg medical oxygen has 67parts per million of water contamination
Why oxygen is toxic, dehydrates and damages the alveoli
Lung physiology requires the air at the alveoli to reach 100% humidity
Can you see the problem?
The new take on lung physiology:
The lungs rehydrate the passing RBCs with iso tonic saline solution as they pass through the alveoli capillary beds
RBCs change from dark contracted dehydrated to plump bright hydrated form as they soak up the iso tonic saline solution the bursting alveoli bubbles throw upon the capillary sac
The airway mucosa conditions the breathe with salt and moisture
Do you know of any clinics offering plasmapheresis for LC patients? Or have been able to get insurance approval for that treatment? This study is so promising https://www.nature.com/articles/s41380-023-02084-1. Do you think this is a treatment that is worth pursuing?
I'm sorry, I don't know of any clinics offering aphoresis. Though I have heard some people say it helps their symptoms. My worry with it is that it will only treat symptoms (not underlying causes) and the effects will be temporary. Thanks for the reference, I've added it to my reading list!
