Posting w/permission: 46 yr old friend had Covid 6 weeks ago. Tried in vain to get post-Covid proactive screening tests for clots, blood sugar and cardiac work-up. HMO PCP balked. Urgent Care only took blood pressure (oddly elevated, 1st time.) She found lab to order herself:

I know it looks a little silly, but for those with hearing disabilities these Savewo Smile mask could be game changers. Hard to tell in pic, but I just had this in the freezer, breathing on it and no fogging. This get the mask nerd nod of approval. Breathability is still good!

Update on nattokinase (NK)-serrapeptase (SP)! Content warning, there is gross body stuff in this thread. #LongCovid
I've been on NK for 2 months. I was on NK-SP for 1 month, increasing by 1 pill/week to 8000 FU on Dr's Best brand, & switched to NK-only at the 2 month mark.

If you have ME/CFS or Long COVID, I really cannot recommend nattokinase highly enough. I’ve tried a zillion supplements and none of them every did shit for me, but it’s completely resolved my neuropathy – better than $400k/year IVIg, better even than prescription blood…

NATTOKINASE Survey Data💊 Interesting results! Efficacy appears to ⬆️ w total daily dose (TDD). While 2000-4000 FU TDD looks similar, efficacy appears to improve around ≥6000 FU TDD w/ most taking ≥4000 FU twice daily. Note no one reported feeling worse at ≥9000 FU TDD.🧵

Thread 10 days post-wedding, we’ve had zero new COVID cases among all the attendees (approx. 150 people.) Was it the masking? Was it the Corsi-Rosenthal boxes? Was it a 99.9% vaccinated and boosted attendee list? It was all of the above. We prioritized safety AND had a great time. Fin.

I know it feels impossible to avoid COVID these days, but I just traveled for 4 weeks, took 10 flights, gave 4 in-person presentations, and attended 3 conferences without catching COVID... and you can too.
Yes, COVID is highly transmissible, but it's not magic. A brief 🧵.

"Regular consumption of berry fruits, which are rich in anthocyanin compounds, should be supportive to inhibit viral infectious by reducing of propagation and pathogenicity of SARS-CoV–2."
