COVID CHRONIC CONDITIONS
* Persistent SARS-CoV-2 RNA in multiple organs and throughout the brain
* Epigenetic Modifications (Changes to DNA)
* Change in Cell Fate
* Tryptophan Deficiency
* Dysfunctional Kynurenine Pathway
* Neurological Damage
* Down Regulating NAD+
* Up Regulating IDO
* Rogue Antibodies
* Change in Pancreas Cell Function (Down regulation of Insulin)
* Increased Risk of Cancer
* Blood Clots
* Vascular Disorders
* Myocarditis and Heart Damage
* Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome in Children (MIS-C)
* Dysregulation of the innate immune system, i.e. “cytokine storm”
“‘It is important to note that the severity of disease in humans is not determined only by virus replication but also by the host immune response to the infection, which may lead to dysregulation of the innate immune system, i.e. “cytokine storm”‘ (Omicron SARS-CoV-2 can infect faster and better)
These are some of the causes of long-COVID symptoms that have been identified. There are likely many more.
Everybody’s response to COVID is unique; however, most people are likely to develop several of these disorders. For instance, the genetic abnormalities were found in 1-3% of the prepandemic population. In the population of COVID survivors, 50-75% of individuals exhibit these genetic abnormalities. Currently, there is no cure for any of these ailments.
