A friend’s son (25) has battled severe Long COVID since 2020 — brain fog, memory loss, and crushing fatigue(sleeping ~3 hrs/day). He tried everything — HBO, LDN, countless supplements — with little effect.
About 6 weeks ago, he started Dr. Skip Pridgen’s antiviral protocol: Valtrex, Celebrex & Paxlovid.
💡 Today he texted: “I think I’m fully cured — brain fog gone, fatigue so much better, I wake easily, feel rested, need less sleep. I have my life back.”
This mirrors results from a small case series showing the 3-drug combo signif improved fatigue, brain fog & dysautonomia, perhaps by clearing persistent SARS-CoV-2 & suppressing HSV reactivation.
A larger RCT — the “SHIELD” study — is now planned with PIs @PutrinoLab & @AmyProal @MountSinaiNYC to test this approach more rigorously. So happy for this young man--what a gift! 👏

Hard to fathom. Amazing revelations here regarding #FTX ‘s collapse from @JohnJRay ,who is overseeing #FTXbankruptcy & has 40 years of legal & restructuring experience.
“Nearly all of these situations (bankruptcies & corporate failures) share common characteristics, ranging from gross mismanagement, excessive leverage, failures of internal controls, failures of external checks as a result of audit firm failures, or insufficient board 2/
governance. But never in my career have I seen such an utter failure of corporate controls at every level of an organization, from the lack of financial statements to a complete failure of any internal controls or governance whatsoever.
