LONG COVID: etiology of long-COVID, CFS, Fibromyalgia, etc. evolves from acute injury to musculoskeletal tower. Two weeks of intense bedrest, from injury to skeletal tower or viral illness, causes severe soft tissue deconditioning, loss of tissue mass, & weakened body tower...
Greatest force threatening weakened organism is ambient gravitational field: all body parts falling to earth at 32’/sec/sec. As body tower attempts upright station, widespread painful muscle spasms ensue to stiffen tower. Upright posture & even walking become difficult.
A natural response is to lay down & rest. Exercise becomes exhausting. Additional rest magnifies the pathology. As the weakened body tower encounters ground force of sleep/resting site, painful spastic muscles beget REM disruption & non-restorative sleep➡️depression/fatigue.
A sedentary body neglects foraging for healthy foods & incurs lesser amounts of Vitamin D from sunlight deprivation. Secondary inflammation & infections further weaken the organism. Cognitive disarray & inanition cause organism to tumble down spiral of dysfunction.
As major joints lose integrity of soft tissue tethering, proximate autonomic neural tracts & plexi are stretched & impinged; giving rise to curious patterns of disruptive dysautonomic functions of internal organs...
Dysautonomias include Migraines, orthostatic changes, Syncope, Pseudoseizures, POTS, Panic Attacks, Gastroparesis, IBS, Interstitial Cystitis, Dysmenorrhea, CRPS etc.
By time these delayed sequela manifest, cause & effect relationships vs. injury, illness, & chronic pains/organ dysfunctions are blurred & lost in time. Next, desperate clinicians grasp for psychological explanations & molecular scientist invoke their favored biochemical pathways
Obvious causations of disease? Surely, atomic-scale tissue molecule perturbations; with measurable shifts during illness.
Force of gravity & electromagnetic fields (light) remain unrecognized illness merchants because they are pervasive, subtle, & invisible...
Rational applications of medical therapies require knowledge of true primary cause(s). Are macro system forces more potent than micro system forces to induce fundamental healing? Yes, if they are the true cause(s).
True healing of long-COVID/similar ills: Aquatherapy exercises to negate gravity; heat/massage to abort soft tissue spasms; exo-cannabinoids to assist endo-; opiate analgesics for pain/sleep; radiant light to induce hormones/Vit D; Nutriceuticals; low carb high fat/protein diets.

This is Dr. Krause, Neurosurgeon, of an El Salvador healing center he set up contemporaneously. Dr. Delgado, Neurosurgeon he mentions, was one of my Professors at Yale Medical School in 1966 & famous then for implanting radio frequency controlled electrode in a bull’s brain.
MIND CONTROL WITH EMF & LIGHT: Dr. Delgado, or surrogate, got into bull ring. As bull charged for the kill a flick of a switch stopped him in his tracks. ‘‘Twas a powerful demonstration. Dr. Delgado was an handsome Surgeon & the coeds, my own same-time fancy, swooned.

IBS IN VETERANS: As a medical doctor I have clinically studied this disorder. My clinical impressions are as follows:
My prediction is that this disorder will be found in more female veterans than males. My Threadreader to follows explains why …
VETERANS WITH IBS, PREFACE TO THIS THREAD: Over >2 decades, I have studied pathophysiology/etiology of IBS. Amongst my >300 threadreaders on Twitter/X, I have discussed IBS issues.
VETERANS WITH IBS, MY AUTHORITY: Since 2007, I have published clinical data internationally in “Proceedings of Interdisciplinary World Congress on Low Back & Pelvic Pain”, which Congress meets every three years.

ENDOMETRIOSIS? A “DIAGNOSTIC” TERM IN SEARCH OF PATHOLOGICAL/PHYSIOLOGICAL EXPLANATIONS & ETIOLOGY:
HYPERMOBILITY SYNDROME (~15% women) predisposes ▶️ Dysmenorrhea due to Relaxin hormone each menses ▶️ Abdominal Endoscopy whereby 100% women ▶️ intestinal adhesion from #2-3 Scopes ▶️ IBS symptoms of partial obstruction = “Endometriosis” …
After several endoscopic procedures iatrogenic-caused bowel adhesions induce dysfunctional bowel manifest as IBS. Now the time for widespread ablation of peritoneal tissue. I am curious about the long term effects of this mutilating procedure.

FIBROMYALGIA SLEEP SOLUTION? Very simply, the solution is increased REM sleep. FM sufferers are surface sleepers aroused, by musculoskeletal pain, from deeper levels of sleep. Ask them if they regularly dream, and most admit they don’t.
FIBROMYALGIA & SLEEP: A sine qua non of Fibromyalgia (FM) is chronic low back pain. Commonly, etiology of FM low back pain is unilateral sacroiliac (SIJ) dysfunction/subluxation, whereat integrity of the SIJ capsule has been compromised.
DAMAGED LIGAMENTS HURT, as the Spanish Inquisition’s use of “The Rack” taught us. Each sacroiliac is 17 cm sq., largest joint in axial spine, & has a large ligament capsule. Torsion of this capsule occurs at night …

DYSAUTONOMIAS: etiologic via major joint subluxations (shoulder/pelvic girdles) proximate autonomic tracts/plexi become impinged, due to titled upright body tower, due to ⏬️ musculoskeletal tone, due to prolonged (>2 wks) bedrest, due to significant viral illness. GRAVITY RULES
FIBROMYALGIA BEGETS ITSELF: Once chronic widespread muscle spasms begin, chronic pain & restless sleep induce sedentary life, reclusiveness, daytime fatigue and depression. These changes lead to inadequate sunlight, low Vit D, weaker spastic muscles, & greater sedentariness.
FIBROMYALGIA BEGETS ITSELF: weak spastic muscles in persons with Hypermobility Syndrome (~15% of women) induce joint subluxations. These subluxations impinge the Autonomic Nervous System plexi at shoulder & pelvic girdle joints….

DYSAUTONOMIAS: THORACIC OUTLET SYNDROME & CRPS (RSV) of arms aroused via autonomic dysfunctions as neural tract impingements are effected within asymmetric shoulder girdles, secondary to functional scoliosis in hypermobile women with faulty muscle tone & unstable pelvic girdles.
DYSAUTONOMIAS: IRRITABLE BOWEL SYNDROME & INTERSTITIAL CYSTITIS are aroused d/t autonomic dysfunctions as neural tracts impinged within presacral plexi overlaying ventral sulci of sacroiliac joints in hypermobile women w. SIJ subluxation, d/t mundane slips/falls/ childbirths.
