Malnutrition bomb set to explode: Long-Covid
It took years, but I'm finally seeing improvement in the chronic conditions both myself and my partner, DH, have been struggling with far too long. This is why I know it is all connected to the industrial diet; at least, the treatment should be.
This long con -- it's about profit, not health -- has exploded during the COVD crisis. And this in a country where 1 out of 3 adults (per the CDC's diabetes page) qualifies for pre-diabetes. Not a coincidence. Quote:
I've long discussed the giant crevasse which separates our medical system. For injury, we're incredibly good. For chronic conditions, it's the complete opposite. And all the suffering starts with trying to get a diagnosis. It's like the inner knowledge of the medical system -- that they are really inadequate when it comes to treating all these mysterious disorders -- creates a pattern where they attribute symptoms to things they think they can treat.

And blame the victim, of course. Worst of all: Quote:
We've long discussed the ways metabolic syndrome is all about pre-existing conditions that means a COVID patient has a much higher incidence of serious illness and death. But baffled doctors who stare at lab results have apparently been trained to punt to mental illness. And sure, there's incredible stress involved. But without addressing the terrible stress their own neglect is increasing, that's not going to respond to treatment, either. My darling GP, now retired, broke the record for lab tests at the local hospital. And we found nothing. Because it was a disastrous medical-created menopause crisis which I was getting treatment for from a couple of other doctors, though that treatment did not work and they wouldn't listen when I told them that. All my GP could do was advise me I had a source of terrible stress and he supported me through the process where I found out how to treat my hormone crisis on my own, and figure out the un-diagnosed condition that was the true source of my problems. And I was lucky. I had a job with insurance -- though it refused to pay for the right diagnosis, this is after all America -- and by that time I had another diagnose-able condition they could figure out and treat: only their treatment makes things worse. I had to give up on modern medicine for that, too. Dr. Terry Wahls, who says "all autoimmune disease is the same disease" led me to the right diet for me. Dr. Sarah Myhill, who says, "chronic fatigue is a metabolic disorder" led DH to the right diet for him. And it's the same diet, with individual tweaks. It's low carb. But we all have to wait for the freakin' obvious to dawn on the medical-industrial complex. Since: Quote:
Dr Myhill has a test she developed that will give lab results. Which is the only thing out there. But I guess we will all have to wait for freakin' obvious to be considered science. |
As someone who has suffered from severe tinnitus for over 30 years, this news story yesterday hit me hard. He likely sought out all the medical experts in the US who will have told him to "learn to live with it". I trust that his death, and his legacy of donating to research, will raise awareness of how debilitating tinnitus can be.

My beloved grandmother likewise suffered from that. It's very tough to deal with, and I gather it's yet another issue where medicine falls short. Evidence mounting that COVID-19 can cause diabetes type II Aaaaand, things get worse. |
