Antioxidants and Long Covid
October 2022
TLDR The conclusion suggests that managing antioxidant levels and the calcium to magnesium ratio may help address Long Covid and related chronic fatigue conditions.
The article "Antioxidants and Long Covid" explores the overlap of Long Covid symptoms with other chronic conditions like ME/CFS, FM, EBV, CMV, CIRS, MCAS, POTS, and post-viral fatigue syndrome, attributing these to oxidative stress and an imbalance in calcium and magnesium levels. It discusses the roles of TGF-β, IFN-γ, the RAS, and the KKS in these conditions, and provides technical explanations for phenomena such as the renin aldosterone paradox in POTS and the Warburg effect. The paper emphasizes the importance of the gut-brain axis, particularly the role of GABA and butyrates from beneficial gut bacteria, and highlights the significance of heart rate variability as an indicator of the gut-brain-heart/lung axis. A comprehensive approach to managing Long Covid and related chronic fatigue diseases is suggested.
