I agree completely, Mary. This issue is far more nuanced than simply asserting Long COVID is (or is not) a thing.

Case in point: > Many chronic, "invisible" illnesses have a strong neurological component ~ and "neural retraining" can go a long way to change the neurological/biochemical reactions in the body, thereby reversing/eliminating symptoms. -- https://planetthrive.com/category/news/brainnews/

In fact, I myself recovered completely from 10+ years of debilitating symptoms of chronic environmental illness (mold, chemical and electrical sensitivity) using my own customized approach to neural retraining.

In addition, my adult son who is a deeply entrenched Covidian, recovered from almost all of his long COVID symptoms when he realized the degree to which his symptoms were the result of stress-related somatization.

In addition, many researchers have found that the onset of virtually ALL cases of Fibromyalgia is usually preceded by some form of trauma (car accidents, for example) that dysregulate the nervous system. To the extent that this is the case, many cases of trauma, PTSD and fibromyalgia all respond extremely well to neural retraining (i.e., resetting the stress response within the central nervous system).

However, on the other side of the fence, there is very clear evidence that the spike protein (both viral and vaccinal) can trigger the reactivation of latent viruses, such as Epstein Barr and the viruses that contribute to chronic fatigue.

In fact, there is a very strong similarity between Long COVID and many forms of post-vaccination injury syndrome.

For this reason, I strongly recommend that anyone who is dealing with either Long COVID and/or vaccine injury review the protocols being used for BOTH syndromes, since these protocols seem to be helping with many of the symptoms associated with both of these debilitating health issues: > https://workflowy.com/s/beyond-covid-19/SoQPdY75WJteLUYx#/026b4e1bd888
