“A lot of the research on lengthy COVID are taking a look at slender slices of our physique’s chemical interactions – and that’s far too limiting. I don’t have all of the research in entrance of me to reference, however there’s a whole lot of proof (and plenty of have accepted) that lengthy COVID and mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS) are basically the identical factor. Dr. Tina Friends discovered that almost all of her lengthy COVID sufferers reported signs of MCAS earlier than they received COVID, suggesting {that a} genetic or underlying predisposition to lengthy COVID lies in mast cell dysfunction. Anybody with lengthy COVID even have bronchial asthma, hypothyroid, meals sensitivities earlier than you had COVID? While you shift your lens to the mast cells you need to acknowledge the complexity of the impact on the physique – it’s not nearly an excessive amount of histamine, however a number of different chemical substances. When our physique is, or thinks it’s, beneath assault, our mast cells activate, and within the course of launch histamine and, for the needs of this dialogue, cortisol. So, to “battle” the paper reduce, an infection, bee sting, or cat hair, our physique goes into full battle mode – irritation – and our cortisol ranges rise. When issues are functioning usually, histamine and cortisol ranges drop in time, and we return to equilibrium. Nevertheless, our our bodies have been beneath assault by all kinds of poisons for many years, or perhaps we’ve got a genetic abnormality corresponding to Mannose-binding lectin deficiency or Ehlers Danlos, so our our bodies can’t discover the equilibrium, and finally we endure from adrenal fatigue. I don’t have proof of this, however I count on that the authors of this text are measuring this adrenal fatigue that’s only a symptom of the underlying situation that presents a welcome mat for lengthy COVID. And when COVID – a illness of the mast cells – finds that welcome mat, the sensitivities and irritation that have been already current now kick into excessive gear, and we’ve received lengthy COVID. How will we deal with it? As you’ll MCAS – with a strict low histamine weight-reduction plan, and evaluation that identifies vitamin deficiencies (doubtless Bs and D, to begin). Cut back emotional stress, keep away from triggers like warmth and train, tempo your self, sleep extra, and settle for that it’s going to take a while.
