We have published research on Long COVID, below is huge research on biomarkers recently discovered:

⚠️ Long COVID is real — and scientists may have just found the proof.

A groundbreaking study has identified viral fragments lingering in the blood of patients months after their initial SARS-CoV-2 infection. These “ghost proteins,” tucked inside microscopic packages called extracellular vesicles (EVs), were discovered in individuals experiencing persistent symptoms such as fatigue, brain fog, and shortness of breath.

Researchers detected 65 unique viral fragments—all tied to a replication protein called Pp1ab, which is absent in healthy human cells. This makes it the first potential measurable biomarker for long COVID.

The findings strengthen the idea that long COVID may be driven by hidden viral reservoirs or leftover debris disrupting normal body function long after acute infection. Interestingly, the viral proteins did not show up in every blood sample, suggesting their presence may be intermittent and influenced by factors like physical exertion.

If confirmed by larger trials, this discovery could lead to the world’s first reliable blood test for long COVID—a breakthrough that would not only help in diagnosis but also guide the development of more targeted treatments for millions still struggling with the condition.

PSA!:

With school back in session, is your young adult starting their day off with energy drinks? Increased heart rate. High blood pressure. Nervousness. Anxiety. Insomnia. Palpitations. These are just a few of the side effects we’re seeing more often, and many are tied to one thing… energy drinks. Their causing a noticeable uptick in calls with symptoms of over-caffeination.

🧃 Energy drinks aren’t new, Lipovitan-D launched back in 1962 with 50mg of caffeine. Red Bull came along in 1987 with 80mg. But today’s popular choices like Celsius, Bang, Redline Xtreme, and Monster? They’re often double or triple that amount, all in one 12oz can.

📊 The FDA recommends no more than 100mg of caffeine per day for kids ages 12–17. But many of these drinks push well past that in a single serving! And let’s be honest, most teens aren’t stopping at one.

👨‍👩‍👧 If you’ve got a teen reaching for energy drinks, share this with them. The more caffeine companies pack into smaller cans, the more we’re seeing over-caffeinated medical emergencies.
