@indepdubnrth FAILED COVID CARE? Doctors have always been members of an hierarchical guild wherein lack of clinical inquiry & absence of thoughtful patient care reflect faulty group standards whereat adequate practitioner conduct is measured by proficiencies of the least distinguished members
@indepdubnrth Medical guilds rule by perceptions of the most influential members, who gain station mostly by political sway. Individual guild member prosperity relies on adherence to current medical practice fashions. Revolutionary clinical announcements threaten guild member fortunes.
@indepdubnrth Empirical observations by doctors in the medical trenches worldwide have discovered marvelous lifesaving COVID therapies; which are being banned by guild leaders, by media outlets, & by gov bureaucrats who overlord & threaten guild authority.

Hypermobility genetic/primary. Injuries/illnesses ▶️ sedentary status/induce loss of soft tissue tone. Muscle spasms induce entheses. Joint subluxations induce autonomic dysregulation = depression, restless sleep, fatigue, ME/CFS, Fibromyalgia. Hormone Relaxin 🔼 ligament laxity.
Based on my 20+ years studying patients with Fibromyalgia (see my several threadreaders), I believe those with Hypermobility Syndrome (genetic) are predisposed to ME/CFS & LONG-COVID (I call “wasting diseases”). Treatment is prophylaxis:
PROPHYLAXIS for Hypermobility Syndrome avoidance of “wasting diseases”: avoid obesity, multiparty, & back injuries; keep soft tissues toned; maintain nutrient dense diet; sunlight; Vit C & D, Mg, Se, Zn.

HYPERMOBILITY & FIBROMYALGIA
@endfatigue
Fibromyalgia is a multi-factorial disorder with a variety of causes: femaleness, Hypermobility Syndrome, pelvic girdle injury, sedentary & reclusive lifestyles, low Vitamin D, non-restorative sleep, & severe incapacitating illnesses.
A unifying factor is instability of pelvic girdle joints that lead to a slightly tilted upper body tower & wherein multiple muscles that support the upright body tower incur asymmetric mechanical stress that differs from one side of the body to the other.

MIGRAINE is common in FIBROMYALGIA: THE ETIOLOGY is readily explained. Let me explain:
Hypermobility is a tissue variation found in about 15% of women. The connective tissue laxity impacts flexibility to body parts and especially to the pelvis, thereby providing for easier childbirth.
A common concomitant of greater ligament flexibility is a functional scoliosis. The vertebral disks are ligaments that connect the vertebral bones. The spines of hyper-mobile women are often scoliotic when these women are upright, but straight when reclined. The reason is ….

VITAMIN D HOW MUCH? Recent studies in men who work year around without shirts in Hawaii produce 6,000 units of Vitamin D per day; likely a dose selected by Darwinian evolution and likely non-toxic. Maybe even optimum.
My undergraduate biological sciences professor (1963) discounted need for supplemental Vitamin D & firmly proclaimed walking “15 minutes” outdoors “between classes” was sufficient daily sun exposure; a pompous proclamation in retrospect.
VITAMIN D & COVID-19: Epidemiological evidence has demonstrated ability of Vitamin D to inure human organisms to full onslaught of COVID-19. Anyone who is not maximizing Vitamin D might be missing an opportunity.

ALTERNATE EXPLANATION OF CFS/ME/LONG-COVID: Best studies of physiologic commonalities of these disorders have measured metabolism, genetics, hormones, cytokines, mitochondrial respiration, & etc. The only common phenomenon that correlates with occurrence of these disorder is ....
The common thread of CFS/ME/LONG-COVID is the measured intensity of the initial insult; as in days of bedridden status & severe locomotor inactivity. What does this measurement reflect?
Astronauts returning from weightlessness are unable to support their upright musculoskeletal towers. Studies have shown that 2 weeks of strict bedrest result in profound loss of muscle mass and strength.
