Expert discussions with Dr. Paul Anderson

Why is long COVID recovery taking so long?
Long COVID is a whole-body fatiguing illness that looks different in almost everyone, which is part of why it is hard to study and easy to dismiss. Recovery often stalls because something treatable was missed: thyroid changes, hormone shifts, a reactivated old infection, or new autoimmune disease. The episode also proposes treatments — nicotine patches, methylene blue, and protocols to degrade spike protein — that are not established for long COVID.
