From Recovery to Recovered.
Donations help fund Long COVID scientific research for Recovery and Cure.

Yes, there are many very experienced labs working on Long COVID.   Our research focus is on the scientific evaluation of available vitamin, nutritional supplements, botanicals and nutraceuticals along with diet and lifestyle that can help patients manage their symptoms and feel better now.  Amira’s protocol is based on principles of microbiology, gut-brain-immune axis connection and restoring gut tissue health and health of gut microbiome or "gut microbiome remediation."  Reduce inflammation of the gut by eliminating or significantly reducing consumption of foods that are known to be highly allergenic.  Supplant essential vitamins and nutrients so that the tissue has everything it needs to properly repair itself and the gut microbiome flora has what it needs to support the gut intestinal tissue absorption of nutrients and water and in some cases, medications.  


We've been following a group of patients very closely throughout their initial symptoms of long COVID to treatments and nutritional interventions working towards system recovery. We've seen some symptom patterns at the onset of the post viral condition that we want to investigate further and characterize with genetic sequencing and also sequencing the gut microbiome during recovery. This information we believe would help lead to better molecular understanding of the pathology of long COVID and a molecular solution. There has been some initial work with other coronaviruses in veterinary medicine, but not yet explored this direction for long COVID patients.  Characterizing these initial cohort of patients, if successful, would be followed with a larger group together to confirm our theories. We are looking to get to a solution to slow or reverse what's happening in Long COVID and then those with the resources can create the molecular fix. We've an interesting family of long covid patients where all were vaccinated april may 2021 and 2 out of the 4 developed long covid without any positive PCR or home Ag test. Working with the assumption that whatever virus remains is only spike protein genetic material and contributing to the post viral condition. We've seen some symptoms completely improve and others more slowly. Which leads me to believe both gut microbiome and the patient's own genetics are involved in the development of Long COVID.   For each of these patients, we propose sequencing the patient's entire genome and their patient's gut microbiome as they recover.  This pursuit is inspired by the patients we have helped navigate Long COVID.   We have to accomplish testing as resources allow.  Which is why we are asking for donations to advance our understanding of this condition to the next level with these genetic studies.  So many folks are waiting on someone to fix it.  Functional and Integrative medicine pillars of understanding can help make the condition better. But to fix it requires more data and observation at the molecular level. Ultimately, would like to have a dedicated lab free from special interests where scientists can collaborate and arrive to understanding and a solution more quickly. The folks we help just care that Long COVID gets solved.
