There was a post early stating that curcumin is a treatment for LongCOVID, which was totally ridiculous and ignorant to the fact that Turmeric-curcumin is the most commonly found supplement behind the significant rise in liver toxicity cases (hepatotoxicity) being reported. Original Investigation | Complementary and Alternative Medicine Estimated Exposure to 6 Potentially Hepatotoxic Botanicals in US Adults Alisa Likhitsup, MD, MPH'; Vincent L. Chen, MD, MS'; Robert J. Fontana, MD' » Author Affiliations | Article Information Findings In this survey study analyzing nationally representative data from 9685 adults, 4.7% of US adults reported exposure to 6 potentially hepatotoxic botanicals: turmeric was most frequently reported, followed in order by green tea, ashwagandha, Garcinia cambogia, red yeast rice, and black cohosh products. Botanical product users w...
Posts like that are reckless because people with LongCOVID, whether they admit to it or not, are desperate to try anything that might help.

Further, it can interact with medications and was singled out by my Dr. as one to avoid before starting Maraviroc.

Just a few weeks ago, an NJ woman was hospitalized for 6 days because of Tumeric and was a step short of full liver damage, liver failure and needing a transplant. Her enzymes were 60 times the normal level.

“20% of liver toxicity cases nationwide are tied to herbal and dietary supplements.”

“Why cases are on the rise: More Americans are taking supplements. As many as 3 in 4 adults 18 and older take them, according to a 2024 survey by the Council for Responsible Nutrition.”

Two new studies and the American Brain Foundation find that brain damage (brain fog) caused by SARS2 may be permanent and a link to Alzheimer’s by invading the central nervous system, damaging healthy brain cells via excess inflammation and increased amyloid plaque buildup. BESTLIFE News I Wellness / Fact-Checked Scientists Find Shocking Link Between COVID and Alzheimer's THE VIRUS CAN CAUSE BRAIN INFLAMMATION, WHICH, IN SOME CASES, BECOMES MORE SERIOUS. By DANA SCHULZ JULY 16, 2025

Study in Frontiers:

Study 2 in Science Advances:

So anyway, good luck living with it and the August flu or whatever.
American Brain Foundation:

“Brain cells are directly affected during a neuroinflammatory response, and a person can experience temporary changes in mental and emotional processes—thinking, concentration, behavior, mood, fatigue, motivation, and so on.”

National Bureau of Economic Research finds approx 1.4M excess deaths among Americans 25 and older between 2020-2023 due to COVID, saving Social Security over $200 Billion.

‘Social Security financial health improved due to excess deaths, driven primarily by the premature death.’ NBER WORKING PAPER SERIES THE EFFECT OF US COVID-19 EXCESS MORTALITY ON SOCIAL SECURITY OUTLAYS Hanke Heun-Johnson Darius Lakdawalla Julian Reif Bryan Tysinger Working Paper 33465 http://www.nber.org/papers/w33465 NATIONAL BUREAU OF ECONOMIC RESEARCH 1050 Massachusetts Avenue Cambridge, MA 02138 February 2025, Revised March 2025
The data also notes “as of 2023” when this was revised in March 2025.

Americans are literally dying for their government and putting money back in its pockets.

We estimate the approximately 1.4 million pandemic-era excess deaths that occurred as of January 2023 reduced expected future OASDI outlays by $205 billion on net. This reduction is caused primarily by a decrease in future retirement benefits for pandemic decedents.” We estimate that the approximately 1.4 million pandemic-era excess deaths that occurred as of January 2023 reduced expected future OASDI outlays by $205 billion on net. This reduction is caused primarily by a decrease in future retirement benefits for pandemic decedents, which outweighs a reduction in OASDI payroll taxes and an increase of payments to surviving spouses and children.

OSHA released a proposal to remove remaining temporary standards for occupational exposure to COVID.

“Specifically, the proposal would remove the recordkeeping and reporting requirements imposed on covered health care employers related to health care workers with COVID-19.” American Hospital Association™ OSHA proposes removing remaining requirements of its COVID-19 emergency temporary standard
Good luck out there, it’s just a cold now.

It’s wild that liberals and leftists claim to support worker’s rights, but this isn’t something they’re willing to talk about because they actually embrace right wing ideology when it comes to the bad word.

When someone you know gets disabled at work from a cold, best of luck.

I decided to see a cardiologist recently was because I’d been getting these really weird dizzy-headaches and knowing so many people with POTS, I figured that’s what was happening to me.

During my initial exam, he said the funniest thing. “POTS is such a bullshit diagnosis.”
He said it with such exasperation and I actually laughed (iykyk) and he said “don’t get me wrong, I treat it all the time but it’s a bullshit name, it doesn’t mean anything. It’s not one thing and all my patients are different. We don’t know what causes it, we know …”
“We know it’s a disorder of the autonomic nervous system. But it’s not one thing and I have to prescribe something different for everyone.”

He also said he doesn’t like the tilt table test which I found interesting to hear seeing how many people struggle with that.

A team of actuaries report that mortality due to COVID in US adults ages 22-44 is getting worse, life expectancy may drop in 2025 and could improve by 2034.

Insurers used this data to write life policies and asked the Treasury Dept and IRS to use it for pension plans. (Rejected) COVID-19 Creeps Toward Life Insurance Tax Accounting By Allison Bell What You Need To Know COVID was known for killing older people. • The people who still seem to have mortality rates that are getting worse are people ages 22 through 44. Mortality for people in that age range could get back on a good improvement track in 2034.
IRS officials started mulling the impact of COVID on mortality tables for pension plans. For life insurance policies, higher mortality rates make reserves higher & may make taxes lower. For pension plans & annuities, higher mortality rates may make reserves lower & taxes higher.
“Some plan advocates, for example, asked the IRS, an arm of the Treasury Department, to let them use mortality tables that exclude the impact of the COVID pandemic period.”

“The Treasury Department and IRS have considered this approach but rejected it.”

One of the worst things that happened when I got infected in Jan 2021 was the muscle pain which was so severe that couldn’t walk for a few months.

This article says muscle pain is now the most common symptom, impacting 86% of all infected across all age groups & severity levels. HOME » HEALTH IQ COVID's most overlooked symptom finally exposed Hidden causes behind widespread body pain reveal new recovery insights BY TEGA EGWABOR JUN 15, 2025 10:54 AM
They even mention legs as being one of the most common areas along with the neck, which is something I see a lot of other patients on here mentioning. Head and face too.

This is really the first time I’ve seen this much detail on “myalgia.” Geographic patterns of pain reveal surprising insights The distribution of COVID muscle pain throughout the body follows distinct patterns that differ from typical muscle strain or injury. Medical observations have identified that the legs, neck, and head represent the most commonly affected areas, with each region presenting unique challenges for patients. Leg pain from COVID often manifests as deep, aching sensations that can make walking or standing for extended periods difficult. This lower extremity involvement can significantly impact mobility and daily functioning, particularly for...
It discusses how chronic and long lasting these symptoms can be, which is something I’d definitely agree with. It took 4 years to walk normally until a recent interaction. They mention the inflammation and even tissue being targeted.

It’s actually really good info. Until.. Long COVID creates lasting muscle pain challenges The emergence of long COVID has revealed that muscle pain can persist for months or even years after the initial infection resolves. Conservative estimates suggest that at least 10% of COVID patients will develop long COVID, with muscle pain being one of the most common persistent symptoms. In long COVID patients, muscle pain often takes on different characteristics than the acute phase pain. Many experience what medical professionals term ischemic myalgia, which results from inadequate blood flow to muscle tissues. This type of pain can b...
