Response to New Study on COVID ‘Long-Haulers’

Posted on December 29, 2020, Keira Farrimond of KSL TV shared a new online study on how the long-hauler syndrome of nearly 4,000 patients in 56 countries found more than 200 prevalent symptoms among participants across 10 of the body’s organ systems.

Interviewing long-hauler syndrome patients

She interviewed Jess Monsen, who didn’t participate in the study but shared her feeling and experience as one of those who have lingering symptoms past the initial 14 days of contracting COVID-19. “I still have family members who don’t validate it, and it’s a big struggle,” she said in the interview. “It hurts.”

Jess, in the interview, shared, “I’ve seen a lot of other people struggling, asking questions, and crying because they have so many practitioners and providers not believing them.” We recognize that the battle of facing something unknown while adding the lack of support from your practitioners, family, or friends can make this uphill battle even more difficult.

News and Media are trying to understand the long-hauler syndrome

As the news/ media is fixated on seeing what modern western-medicine will do to “fix” this whole mess, they haven’t given a second look to other medicinal resources providing successful treatment. Clinics like ours have gone unnoticed and under the radar. Our clinic has surpassed the capabilities of western medicine for direct and targeted treatment for lingering COVID-19 symptoms or long-hauler syndrome.

Tyna, one of our patients with lingering covid symptoms, had COVID-19 back in March (the 12th person in Utah county to be diagnosed). After thinking she was mostly better in mid-April, the symptoms reappeared, and she suffered her first relapse on May 4. Her relapse included a fever, joint pain, increased cough, headache (almost all of the original symptoms, although just for a few days). It kept fluctuating and disrupting her life to the point that she went to see a western medicine doctor. They told her, “western medicine tells us viruses don’t act this way.” They honestly had no clue on how to treat Tyna, and many others with these lingering long-hauler syndrome.

This comment from a primary doctor and western medicine practitioner tells us that there needs to be a different solution for those who are still suffering from this terrible virus. Western medicine doesn’t have the answers we’re looking for, especially helping these “long-haulers” recover.

Long-hauler syndrome patients finally found an effective treatment

Tyna eventually set up her oriental medicine treatments with Lotus Spring Acupuncture & Wellness Inc. Since she set up her treatments with us, she has fully recovered and hasn’t had any problems. Her body is back to normal, living her life as if she never had covid-19. THAT IS AMAZING!

In addition to Tyna’s circumstances, there have been six other patients to date that we’ve treated for various types of lingering symptoms. All of these patients have had their symptoms resolved or are making progress through continual treatment plans. Although some have only done a few treatments and didn’t finish their plan of care, those who did complete their treatment plan have fully recovered. 

Now the reason why we are even writing this article is not to bash western medicine. Western medicine has made advances throughout the years to save people’s lives and has done an amazing job taking care of the human body. We’re grateful for all they have done, continually support their efforts, and want them to know that we’re here to help. Simply stated, there is another form of healthcare (holistic healthcare) having success in treating people with this “unknown” virus.

We hope that the news, media, and even western medicinal practitioners will start to give us a second look and start to send people our way so we can continue to improve the lives of those who are suffering from lingering symptoms. Now that there is a solution, there is no reason why they shouldn’t get the treatment that will help them. Our plead with you, the reader, is to share this good news and hope to those who need to hear it. Please share it everywhere – through the news stations, social media, and directly to those who are struggling with this brutal battle. Flood the world with the news there is a solution for long-hauler syndrome.

The Link Between Lung Health and Nerve Growth

Have you ever thought about how the air we breathe affects more than just our lungs? It turns out, your lungs are super important not just for breathing but also for keeping your brain and nerves healthy.

Imagine your body is like a car engine, and oxygen is the fuel that keeps everything running smoothlyWithout enough fuel, things start to break down. Well, the same goes for your bodywithout enough oxygen, your brain and nerves might not work as well as they should. 

Did You Know?

Did you know that just a 1% drop in oxygen saturation can impair cognitive performance by up to 10%? Imagine you’re hiking up a high mountain, where the air is thin and oxygen is scarce. You might experience brain fog and find it hard to think clearly—this is because your brain needs steady supply of oxygen to stay sharp. But it’s not just about high-altitude hikes. Oxygen affects your daily life in surprising ways:

  1. Feeling Dizzy After Standing Up Quickly: Ever stood up too fast and felt lightheaded? This happens because your brain isn’t getting enough oxygen for a moment.

  2. Struggling with Focus During a Tough Workout: If you’re working out intensely and feel like your concentration is slipping, it might be due to lower oxygen levels in your body.

  3. Waking Up Groggy: If you have sleep apnea, you might wake up feeling tired because your body wasn’t getting enough oxygen during the night.

“Inhale and Exhale to Stay Calm”: Ever notice in movies how characters are told to breathe deeply to stay calm? This is because deep breathing helps get more oxygen to your brain, which can help clear your mind and improve focus.

What Happens If You Don’t Get Enough Oxygen?

If your lungs aren’t doing their job properly and your blood isn’t getting enough oxygen, you might face some serious problems:

  1. Fatigue: Feeling tired all the time because your body isn’t getting the energy it needs.

  2. Shortness of Breath: Struggling to breathe easily, even when you’re at rest.

  3. Cognitive Issues: Difficulty concentrating, remembering things, or making decisions.

  4. Headaches: Frequent headaches due to low oxygen levels in the brain.

  5. Mood Changes: Feeling more irritable or down than usual, as oxygen levels affect your mood.

How Lung Health Supports Nerve Growth and Brain Function

Okay, let’s break this down into simpler terms. Think of your lungs as a big air pump. Their job is to take in oxygen from the air and put it into your blood. This oxygen-rich blood travels all over your body, including to your brain and nerves.

  1. Brain Power: Your brain needs a lot of oxygen to think clearly and learn new things. Healthy lungs make sure your brain gets the oxygen it needs to stay sharp.

  2. Nerve Growth: Just like plants need water to grow, your nerves need oxygen to stay healthy and grow. With enough oxygen, your nerves can work properly and repair themselves.

  3. Memory and Learning: Good oxygen levels help you remember things and learn new skills more easily.

Tips to Keep Your Lungs Healthy and Boost Oxygen Delivery

1. Breathing Exercises

What to Do: Try deep breathing exercises like diaphragmatic breathing. Breathe in deeply through your nose, letting your belly expand, and then slowly exhale through your mouth.

Why It Works: Deep breathing helps improve lung capacity and oxygen flow. Aim for 5-10 minutes of deep breathing exercises twice a day.

2.Stay Hydrated

What to Do: Drink plenty of water throughout the day—about 8 glasses (2 liters) daily.

Why It Works: Water helps keep mucus thin and easier to expel, improving lung function.

3.Eat Lung-Friendly Foods

What to Do: Include foods rich in antioxidants, like berriesapples, and leafy greens. Omega-3 rich foods like fish and flaxseeds are also great.

Why It Works: These foods help reduce inflammation and support lung health. Try to eat at least one serving of these foods daily.
