ANTIVIRAL THERAPIES
FOR PERSISTENT COVID/LONG COVID
83% SUCCESS
70 of 84 cases with the aggravating factor of immunosuppression

The types of treatment were grouped into:
Prolonged Antiviral therapy
Combination Antivirals
Mixed therapy: Antiviral +Antibody

Viral persistence has already been sufficiently demonstrated
It was simple for us to do it since April2020
They should no longer spend on studies that do not provide solutions
There are several Antivirals
These studies are postponed

Histamine causes greater endothelial damage in COVID
by increasing the number of complement C3/C3b binding sites
on the surface of endothelial cells
This
is one more support for our Antihistamine Protocols
before starting Antivirals

This study included Biopsies of endothelial tissue and thrombotic clots
Fig.4 shows SARS CoV2 (light circles)
inside clots adhered to infected endothelial cells

It confirms what we graphed almost 3years ago
and we call them BIOCLOTS

Image It will still take years
for it to be accepted that Microclots
serve as a protective barrier
for viruses and other microorganisms to persist
This occurs in several chronic diseases
They are diseases based on Biofilms & Reservoirs
with persistent infections

STUDY BASED ON BIOPSIES SHOWS IN SITU PRESENCE OF SARS COV-2
IN ENDOTHELIAL CELLS AND CLOTS

Findings support our Protocols established since 2020
The main thing is to reduce the VIRAL LOAD
Anticoagulant & Antiplatelet Therapy does not go against the CAUSE
mdpi.com/2075-1729/14/2…
Image If there are Persistent Microclots
so
there is a Persistent Infection
which is the main CAUSE to treat
The patient may spend years taking Anticoagulants/Antiplatelets
while
with a Protocol with 3-6 Antivirals the patient can recover in days or a few months

SUDDEN AND UNEXPLAINED DEATHS
Autopsy Study
Authors point out:
Our observations allow us to conclude that
in all cases the SARS-CoV-2 was the cause of death

Results indicate that they had COVID-19
with persistent or chronic viral infection = Chronic COVID
doi.org/10.3390/diagno…
Image In the Abstract of this Autopsy study it is noted:
Particularly noteworthy
are the described cases of children whose deaths were originally classified as SIDS(Sudden Infant Death Syndrome)
They all had COVID
PCR of Nasopharyngeal swabs gave False Negatives

PERSISTENT INFECTION BY SARS COV2
IS CAUSE OF FORMATION OF ARTERIAL PLAQUES,

Autopsy study in patients with COVID shows that:
SARS-CoV-2 infects, replicates and persists in Macrophages within the coronary vasculature
Since CARDIAC MACROPHAGES have a half-life of 8.8years
they would act as VIRAL RESERVOIRS in Atherosclerotic plaques
nature.com/articles/s4416…
Image It was identified that viral replication was greater in FOAM CELLS
which are Macrophages that have internalized Low-Density Lipoproteins
Its presence and accumulation is accompanied by injury to the vascular walls
that progressively leads to the formation of atheromatous plaques

There is a Subgroup of patients with
ME/CFS
Long COVID
Fibromyalgia
Arthritis
Autoimmune diseases
Others
Who present with MITOCHONDRIAL DYSFUNCTION
In them the LACTATE (Lactic Acid) rises at rest
And decreases the extraction of oxygen from the venous blood

is it an effect or
consequence of MITOCHONDRIAL DYSFUNCTION
most often caused by

are correlated with the presence of

In this study
in addition to reporting the longest persistent infection to date:
505days
They describe a case that they call
‘Occult’ infection
It is a case that gave Negative in its PCR several times
and developed COVID symptoms again after several months
In this case
sequencing of the virus genome showed that infection
was caused by the Alpha variant
which had already been removed from the UK by that date
indicating that the virus had persisted latent in the patient for several months
and the PCRtests did not detect it

UNDIAGNOSED VIRAL PERSISTENCE
IN 32.5% OF PATIENTS UNDERGOING BARIATRIC SURGERY
All had Negative PCR before Surgery
They were unaware they had a Persistent Infection due to SARS-CoV-2
One part had more than 1 year since infection

Are #UndiagnosedLongCOVID 100% of the PCR tests were False Negatives
If the infection persists
the virus will no longer be found in secretions from the nose & throat
It is located inside the cells

VIRAL PERSISTENCE
IT IS THE MAIN CAUSE OF MYOCARDITIS IN #LONGCOVID
In 85.7%(12/14) of Endomyocardial Biopsies
persistence of up to 18 months of SARS CoV2 was detected
It was identified in Cardiomyocytes,Endothelium,Macrophages
Also Anticardiac Antibodies
onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/cl… None of the 14 cases had severe respiratory failure or evidence of cardiac injury during Acute COVID

PAXLOVID versus TRUVADA
FOR CHRONIC COVID #LONGCOVID #PACS
For costs and side effects
and as months of treatment are required
Win Truvada
containing
Emtricitabine FTC+
Tenofovir Disoproxil FumarateTDF
One could start with Paxlovid and continue with Truvada
PROTOCOLS FOR CHRONIC COVID #LONGCOVID

I. INTENSIVE PHASE AGAINST VIRAL LOAD
It includes:
1.FTC/TDF (Truvada). The alternative is to start Paxlovid for 10-25 days and then continue with FTC/TDF
2. IVM or Liposomal Artemisinin or Artesunate
3. ECGC or Nitazoxanide or Ozone 10pass

ASYMPTOMATIC OR LATENT PERSISTENT INFECTION IN CHILDREN.

SARS COV-2 WAS DETECTED IN BIOPSIES OF TONSILS OR ADENOIDS
IN 25% OF ASYMPTOMATIC CHILDREN
None had experienced signs or symptoms

Authors point out:
lymphoid tissue may be a Reservoir of SARS-CoV-2
doi.org/10.1016/j.bjor… It had already been identified that the Biofilm or Dental Plaque harbors SARS CoV-2
To this is added the Tonsils and Adenoids in children
Therefore, it is confirmed that the oral cavity is a potential reservoir for the virus
There are Asymptomatic Carriers
