Bereits sehr früh warnten Politiker und ausgewählte Experten vor den Langzeitfolgen, die nach einer Covid-19-Erkrankung auftreten könnten. Im April 2021 bezeichnete man im Robert-Koch-Institut Long-Covid als „drohendes PH-Problem“ (die Abkürzung steht hier für Public Health, also etwa: Volksgesundheit). Seitdem bekommt diese bisher nicht klar definierte Erkrankung viel mediale Aufmerksamkeit; im November 2021 schaffte sie es gar in den Koalitionsvertrag. Der Gesundheitsminister der Ampel-Regierung, Karl Lauterbach, hat eine 150 Millionen teure Initiative gestartet, die sich der Erforschung der Krankheit widmet. Über die Schwierigkeit der Diagnose, mögliche Therapien sowie über die teilweise sehr aufgeheizte Debatte rund um Long- oder PostCovid spreche ich mit dem Neurologen Prof. Dr. med. Christoph Kleinschnitz. Dieser ist seit 2016 Direktor der Klinik für Neurologie an der Universitätsmedizin Essen. Zu Beginn des Corona-Geschehens hatte Kleinschnitz etliche Covid-19-Erkrankte behandelt und dann als einer der ersten eine Nachsorge-Ambulanz aufgebaut. Er vertritt die Auffassung, dass es sich bei LongCovid weniger um eine organische denn um eine psychosomatische handelt. Diese Ansicht gründet auf umfangreichen Analysen und Publikationen zum Themenkomplex. In den Mainstreammedien werden psychosomatische Erkrankungen oftmals fälschlich als eingebildete Leiden dargestellt. Doch Dr. Kleinschnitz betont, dass das Leiden real sei und die Erkrankung das Leben der Patienten schwer beeinträchtigen könne. Aus der neuen Einordnung des Syndroms ergäben sich andere Therapieformen, die eher im Bereich der Psychotherapie liegen. Im Interview sprechen wir zudem über einen möglichen Zusammenhang zwischen der modRNA-Injektion und dem Auftreten von Symptomen, die LongCovid ähneln. Die Webseite der LongCovid-Initiative sagt dazu: „Der Begriff ,Post-Vac-Syndrom‘ wird im Zusammenhang mit Beschwerden nach einer COVID-19-Impfung verwendet, die zum Teil den beschriebenen Symptomen bei Long-/Post-COVID ähneln.“ Für Christoph Kleinschnitz ist es wichtig zu betonen, dass nur sehr wenige Menschen LongCovid entwickeln und von diesen fast alle über kurz oder lang gesunden. Der mediale Hype über die eher seltene Erkrankung sorge auch für die Entwicklung von entsprechenden Symptomen.

Vor fünf Jahren ist der erste Corona-Lockdown in Kraft getreten. Es begann eine Zeit, die unsere Gesellschaft tiefgehend verändert hat. Ein Anlass, um zurückzuschauen: Was war der größte Fehler, der gemacht wurde? Warum hat die Regierung immer noch keine richtige Aufarbeitung auf den Weg gebracht? Und wären wir für die nächste Pandemie gewappnet? Im Gespräch mit Bestseller-Autor und Corona-Experte, Georg Mascolo, analysieren Moderatorin Lisa Raphael und t-online-Chefredakteur Florian Harms die politischen Entscheidungen von damals und schauen nach vorn. Sie erklären, was die Gesellschaft aus dieser Zeit nachdrücklich besonders polarisiert und welches Bundesland die Herausforderungen am besten gemeistert hat. Georg Mascolo hat zwei Bücher über die Corona-Pandemie herausgebracht, das zweite zusammen mit dem Virologen Christian Drosten. Er war „Spiegel“-Chefredakteur und leitete die Recherche-Kooperation von NDR, WDR und "Süddeutscher Zeitung".

Episode summary and time stamps I. Introduction (0:00-1:31) Host Intro: Introduces Gillian Ehrlich, DNP, ARNP,(Neuroveda Health), highlighting expertise in complex chronic illness, blending #Ayurveda, conventional nursing, #functionalmedicine, and #integrativemedicine. Mentions therapies: #ketamine, #plasmapheresis, #IVtherapies, and conditions treated (e.g., #fibromyalgia, #chronicfatigue, #POTS, #longCOVID). II. Early Influences (1:31-10:38) Childhood: Grew up in polluted Cleveland, OH, noticing tired adults; standard American diet. Jane Esselstyn: Health teacher (daughter of Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn) inspired her with her focus on outdoor education and veganism. Hypermobility: Personal experience with #hypermobility, #EhlersDanlosSyndrome, #POTS, and #mastcellactivation led to finding exercise that worked (rowing). Exploration: Interested in health, but questioned the traditional medical model; explored outdoor leadership, farming, sailing. Ayurveda: Introduced to #Ayurveda by a friend, attended classes with Dr. Vasant Lad, then studied at the Ayurvedic Institute (2000-2001). III. Integrating Ayurveda with Western Medicine (10:38-13:48) Desire for Change: Aimed to bring #Ayurveda insights into conventional medicine; mentored by Keisha Ewers, Dr. Eileen Ruhoy, and Arti Chandra. Challenges: Faced limitations in using #Ayurveda in primary care systems (Swedish, Harborview), due to visit length restrictions. Neuroveda Health: Created own practice to practice freely, offering customized treatments and practical support. IV. Patient Experiences and Philosophy (13:48-18:11) Individuality: Believes people thrive when being themselves, not "average;" Sees beauty in human diversity. Teacher Role: Sees herself as a teacher, helping patients understand needs; emphasizes relaxation for healing (using humor for comfort). Patient Focus: Patients should leave feeling empowered and with the tools to improve their health. V. Neuroveda Health & Integrative Approach (18:11-32:04) Spectrum of Health: Sees complex disease and #longevity as a spectrum of #oxidativeStress, sharing similar approaches. Pancha Karma: Introduced #PanchaKarma (Ayurvedic detoxification), with key components: oilation, treatments, and elimination. Executive Longevity Program (ELP): Modeled on #PanchaKarma, offers 3-21 day programs. Includes #Ayurvedic bodywork, #plasmapheresis, #IVIG, #stemcells, #prolotherapy, ozone, #NAD, mitochondrial #IVs, #ketamine therapy. Designed for significant shifts and then a return to primary providers. Diagnostics/Therapies: Offers autonomic testing, EDS evaluation, skin biopsies, craniocervical instability testing, and other advanced therapies. Frustrations: Noted that patients find #Ayurveda after exhausting all other options. Emphasized the need for neuroplasticity. VI. Ayurvedic Principles in Practice (32:04-37:53) Core Philosophy: #Ayurvedic medicine is core, integrating therapies within this framework. Plasmapheresis/Raktamokshana: Links #plasmapheresis to #Ayurvedic practice of "Raktamokshana" (blood removal) part of #PanchaKarma. Personalization: Treatment is based on disease patterns and #doshas. Case Example: CRPS patient case of using gentle massage because of high #Vata; Digestion was a consideration in her case. Unique Approach: #Neuroveda has a unifying philosophy rooted in #Ayurveda, while other clinics may just combine modalities. VII. Closing Thoughts (37:53-39:35) Keywords: #Ayurveda, #IntegrativeMedicine, #FunctionalMedicine, #ChronicIllness, #PanchaKarma, #Plasmapheresis, #Ketamine, #IVTherapies, #Hypermobility, #EhlersDanlosSyndrome, #POTS, #MastCellActivationSyndrome, #NeurovedaHealth, #Doshas, #Vata, #OxidativeStress, #Raktamokshana, #Longevity, #MECFS, #longCOVID https://www.neurovedahealth.com/ https://www.neurovedahealth.com/executive

So, let's talk about long COVID and why it's something we need to keep paying attention to even after the height of the pandemic… Imagine dealing with a disease three months after it first hit…and once you go to your doctor, you leave without answers—no explanation for why it's happening or guidance on how to heal. This is the reality a lot of people go through these days as they live with long COVID. A condition with hundreds of possible symptoms, it's a concern the medical community is still catching up to, which leaves many feeling isolated in their struggle. More often than not, people aren't believed, and worse, they can't find effective help. That's why in this episode, we'll discuss long COVID, the hundreds of symptoms tied to it, who is most at risk, and the importance of physicians acknowledging and validating patients' experiences. Whether you're living with long COVID, know someone who is, or are a healthcare provider looking to support your patients better, this episode will equip you with reasons why we need to listen, validate, and find solutions together—starting today. So, join us and discover how empathy, awareness, and better communication can be key to making a positive difference. Why you need to check this episode: - Understand what dealing with long COVID means, especially with its extensive range of symptoms; - Discover the key risk factors that put you at higher risk of having long COVID; and - Recognize the importance of patient-physician communication, especially understanding and validating patient experiences, and why long COVID isn't something that should be dismissed “It's just one of those things where we really have to have open eyes and ears for our patients because it is clear that your patients aren't making it up. It is not ‘in their head' just because they had COVID. This is real, and the numbers are starting to show it.” – Dr. Berry Pierre Notable Quotes: “Having a good conversation [and] a good rapport with your patients is going to be first in line to help diagnose a patient with this syndrome. Because again, there are no tests, and more importantly, because there are no tests, there really isn't a one-stop treatment option either.” – Dr. Berry Pierre “Make sure we are very understanding and listening to our patients…As a healthcare provider, you almost got to be like a coach…Understand them, reiterate what their issues are, and then try to kind of at least lead them to this aspect of ‘Hey, I think I know what's wrong'. Because if you tell the person ‘Hey, I don't know what's wrong with you, I'm not sure when this is going to be over, but take this medication here', they're not going to have their trust in you that you're actually taking care of them.” – Dr. Berry Pierre “My healthcare providers, I don't know if you know this, [but] a lot of people—a lot of your own patients—are seeking help online because they don't think you can give it to them.” – Dr. Berry Pierre Mentions: Understanding Long Covid: Causes, Symptoms, and Treatments CDC's Definition of Long COVID Why Your Doctor Needs to be Your Health Coach Sign up at www.listentodrberry.com  to join the mailing list.

Send us a textIn this episode I have returning guests; Patrick Ussher a person living with ME/CFS for the last 6 years, he has a Youtube channel "Understanding ME/CFS" in which he talks about research into ME/CFS and Long Covid in an accessible way. He has written a medical hypothesis on the potential cause of excessive thirst following being misdiagnosed with psychogenic water drinking. I also have Peter Deen, whom is the founder of a start up company Streasure4health, Streasure4Health is developing an objective diagnosis and scalable diagnostic sensor for LongCovid and ME/CFS, which are rooted in their underlying mechanisms. It has developed an innovative approach to clinically map metabolic stress for the first time. Following on from the last podcast we discuss Patrick's personal journey with ME/CFS, how he had excessive thirst and would drink up to 20 litres of fluid per day. Patrick explains how this led to medical gaslighting following a hospital admission and subsequently his journey to his book "The myth of primary polydipsia" which is free to download, press on the link below for your copy. Peter subsequently contacted Patrick and they have collaborated since. Listen to this episode of the podcast to find out more, and check out the links below.

In this episode of The Healers Café, Manon Bolliger, FCAH, RBHT, speaks with Autumn Bear about her experience treating long Covid patients, exploring the multifaceted symptoms they face and the holistic approaches that can support recovery beyond traditional Western medicine. For the transcript and full story go to: https://www.drmanonbolliger.com/autumn-bear      Highlights from today's episode include: Autumn Bear  Because these are the things that seem to irritate the body the most, gluten, dairy, soy, alcohol and sugar, those guys across the board, seem to be the biggest irritants. They cause the most inflammation, and they're the first ones, you know, if someone is developing some sort of food sensitivity, that's usually the place I like to start.   Autumn Bear  So when we're looking at disease, we're really trying to figure out, where did this, you know, dysbiosis or imbalance start, and how do we really treat the root so that all the branches of that tree essentially start to heal themselves as a result of treating the root.   Autumn Bear  Oftentimes, patients are saying, Listen, I'm having all these things. These are happening to me, and ultimately, what they're getting is doctors that are saying, Well, I think you just have anxiety, so I want to put you on Xanax and that's so it's just frustrating and debilitating.   ABOUT AUTUMN BEAR Bio : Autumn Bear M.S., L.AC, DIPL AC My formal training in classical Chinese medicine was transmitted directly to me by the esteemed Taoist master and 88th generation practitioner Jeffrey C. Yuen of the jade purity and dragon gate lineage. I apprenticed with the commonwealth herbal program in Boston mastering dietary therapy and western herbal medicine.  I worked toward a Masters of Public Health at the University of Arizona & with a specialty in international medicine and maternal and child health, where my continued focus was in the areas of epidemiology, nutrition, environmental health, physiology, and psychology.  I am licensed to practice acupuncture by the states of Utah and New York and I am a board certified diplomate of acupuncture as conferred by the National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine & NCCAO.  My Masters of Science in acupuncture is from the Swedish Institute of Health Sciences in New York City. I have had the great privilege of teaching as a professor at the Pacific College of Oriental Medicine & New York, as well as in programs focused on integrating acupuncture into mainstream medicine at both the University Paris xi Faculte de Medecine Paris-sud & Paris, France, and at the Wu Ming Dao Healing Center & Moscow, Russia. Core purpose/passion: I have been specializing in Long Covid over the last few years. I fell into by accident but it has become my life's mission to help people understand that there is hope and healing that is possible and that nothing is set in stone.  I absolutely love helping people come out of the other side of this.

Miguel Bautista is the founder of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CSF) Recovery. He specializes in helping individuals recover from chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, and long covid through neuroplasticity and brain rewiring techniques. Miguel shared his powerful story of when he woke up one day and was astonishingly incapable of sustaining his own needs which led to months spent bedridden in the hospital with unexplainable symptoms and debilitating pain. Ultimately, it wasn't until Minguel crossed paths with a psychiatrist that he was able to truly conquer his health and live independently again, pain free. In this episode Miguel retells his story and explains the 3-step protocol he uses for resetting the nervous system.  WHAT WE DISCUSSED:  [6:11]- Miguel shares his powerful story of struggling with chronic pain and being hospital bound to finding true healing through brain rewiring.  [11:27]- Are those with go-getter personalities more susceptible to chronic ailments? [19:34]-  What Miguel did when his labs continuously showed up normal, despite experiencing terrible symptoms and debilitating pain.  [23:24]- How a psychiatrist created a treatment plan to get Miguel out of the hospital on his own two feet.  [30:50]- What is neuroplasticity? What is Miguel's 3-step protocol to recalibrating the nervous system? [41:29]- What is Miguel's treatment plan for a long Covid patient struggling with ongoing pain? [47:45]- How long did Miguel's recovery take? Why commitment to recovery is a stronger indicator of time one will spend in remission then the period of time one was sick for.  [53:03]- What role did nutrition play in Miguel's recovery? [55:55]- How does nature regulate the nervous system?  [1:01:31]- Miguel's inspiration for listeners feeling hopeless about healing chronic disease.  LINKS MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE:  My favorite skin and hair care company, L'Bri, is offering some crazy specials with their Bright Eyes, Big Lashes specials this month of September!
