TLDR Antioxidants might help with Long Covid by addressing oxidative stress and nutrient imbalances.

The document discusses the similarities between Long Covid and various chronic conditions such as ME/CFS, FM, and others, highlighting a common issue of antioxidant deficiency and an imbalance in the calcium to magnesium ratio. It identifies oxidative stress as a central cause and explores the connections between various biological systems and substances, including TGF-β, IFN-γ, RAS, and KKS. The paper delves into the technical aspects of symptoms like post-exertional malaise, fatigue, brain fog, anosmia, hair loss, and gastrointestinal issues, emphasizing the importance of the Ca:Mg ratio for the glutamate/GABA balance and the role of gut bacteria in the gut-brain axis. It also discusses the interaction between the enteric and autonomic nervous systems, the significance of the vagus nerve, and heart rate variability as an indicator of a broader gut-brain-heart/lung axis. Finally, the document proposes an approach to address Long Covid, chronic fatigue diseases, post-viral fatigue syndrome, and general health.
