Long Covid & Long Vaccine Syndromes: Your Recovery
by Dr. Arlo Gordin
I have been seeing and helping many Long Covid and Long Vaccine Syndrome patients in recent time and all through the last few years. “Long” means persisting chronic symptoms, sometimes still getting worse, or just “stuck”. It is estimated that there are millions of Americans with these, sometimes very severe, or even disabling Covid-era problems. We have been able to restore many people to active functional life, even the most disabled of this group. Many of those have had a lot of unsuccessful treatment prior, and some have spent small fortunes to get nowhere before arriving at our office.
Both Long Covid and Long Vaccine may have common symptoms such as chronic fatigue, brain fog, reduced cognitive ability, shortness of breath, joint pain, and nervous system dysfunction. There are brain malfunctions, sometimes dizziness/vertigo or tinnitus (ringing in the ears). Auto-immune type presentations including chronic inflammation, widespread pain locations (which may be labeled a “fibromyalgia” condition). There may be Joint and various arthritic symptoms, that may be described as Rheumatoid arthritis-like, Reproductive system, glandular, skin, voice, swallowing malfunctions can occur, Digestive Issues may arise as well. Heart, circulatory and reduced blood flow including clotting occasions may be present and can be dangerous. Pain may be so severe it is debilitating. Fatigue is common. Exhaustion may be so severe that the person spends much of the day in their bed, unable to get up and be active. Many have left exercise and physical activity behind, because they can’t do any. Depression or sorrow may become overwhelming for some of this group,
Any of these symptoms may be found in persons who were in any of these 3 categories: 1) Had Covid but no Vaccine, 2) Had Vaccine but no Covid Illness, or 3) Had both Vaccine and was also sick one or more times with Covid. The Covid experience when actively ill may have been easy (mild) or severe, short or lengthy, and still result in Long Covid issues. Problems may be immediate or delayed, and sometimes appear greatly delayed by many months before onset of the worst of problems.
Usually a custom tailored nutritional program is absolutely of highest importance.
As to diet, not overusing sugar and carbs, as with most inflammatory and metabolic disease, will often be quite important.
Nutritonal kick-starting, repair and rebuilding can be typically necessary for some of the following: Your Brain, Your Nerves, Your Glands, Your Joints, Your Circulatory System and/or Heart, Inflammation and/or Pain. The Stress-Relating Gland System is most usually crashed in these cases, and must be re-booted and then restored to good function. The adrenal glands (“stress glands”) are frequently out of commission and must be kick-started, both biochemically and neurologically. Sometimes clots and oft-times the persistent “Spike Protein” that both the disease and the vaccines create must be addressed specifically. Getting fuel and oxygen in full supply to the brain can be an essential to restoring energy and mental function.
It is interesting that the worst symptoms appear often to occur at the areas where you are most structurally/neurologically/chiropractically your worst. The nerves that are pinched, impinged upon, will be the areas quite commonly where the Long Covid or Long Vaccine symptoms will be most severe and problematic. It is the old principle that the predator takes down the weakest member of the herd. Your body is less defended in the areas where nerve, blood and energy flows are compromised. Your x-rays may show exactly where (and partially why!) your Covid-era problems have found their “home”.
Resultantly, this is one reason that the combination of high accuracy chiropractic (Advanced Applied Kinesiology) treatment in conjunction with the tailored nutritional program together get results where other practitioners have already failed.
Being partially disabled, unable to do the things you could do before, having the problems not improve can be very disappointing. Some arrive at a state of hopelessness, when no one has offered to them any effective treatment with no improvement having been achieved.
Psychological and Emotional problems may be looming large. Depression, Anxiety, Fear, Sadness, Loss may have become the constant day-to-day.
Encouragingly it is frequent for even severe Long Covid or Long Vaccine persons to see improvement in early treatment with us. Severe symptoms may require a bit of time and treatment to recover. Most return to normal function, activity, mental function, work, sleep and well-being, pain eliminated.
It seems clear from our experience in this area, that a multi-pronged approach is what’s needed for these people to “get back”. For this reason, other programs with just nutrients, or just medications or pills alone have failed. This is because pills alone may not be near enough to handle the severely destructive causes of these problems.
If you are one of the vast number of people harmed in the Covid Era, by the Illness and/or the Vaccines, it is good that you can have a well-founded forward look that you will be restored and get back to Health, Function and Activity.
It’s great to get back to Life once again!
