Thanks for shining a proverbial spotlight on health issues correlated with Covid-19 (stroke, heart disease, diabetes, cancer, etc). I don’t know whether you are aware of a factor all of these have in common, called amyloids ( misfolded proteins) ? There exist both treatment methods ( such as sleep and intermittent fasting) and treatment foods and/or anti-amyloid supplements (such as Quercetin, Resveratrol, Curcumin, and Green Tea) that can greatly reduce risk of stroke, heart disease, diabetes Alzheimer’s, cancer, and other amyloid-related diseases. These have all helped me recover from longhaul Covid that I was sick with from early 2020 through mid 2021, and I continue to ‘reverse age’ even after just having caught Covid-19 for a second time this month.
I am aware of amyloids. They are abnormal proteins. Before this pandemic, a lot of Alzheimer's research focused on whether they are a cause or an effect in that disease, and much of the drug research for Alzheimer's sought ways to stop its progression or even start clearing it out.
Buildup of amyloid causes serious trouble. There are some studies showing COVID can trigger it. There are treatments to try to wrangle it. However, amyloid is not the same as misfolded prion proteins. It's important for people reading this not to get the impression that it is.
I've been watching the current scientific discussions about whether COVID is causing, in some people, prion disease. That's a disturbing prospect. I am not willing to write about it until I find better clarity in the scientific papers. Nothing so far is capable of correcting prion disease. Once the misfolding is done, we don't have a way to undo it. Nobody should say COVID does that unless they've compiled very solid evidence.
I'm glad your Long COVID is better. I am familiar with the substances you are taking, and take or have taken them in some form myself, off and on.
Long COVID, ME/CFS, fibromyalgia, multiple sclerosis, systemic lupus, and other diseases along such lines are unique in each patient. What helps me might help you, or might not. When I was a volunteer sysop in the Chronic Illness Forum in CompuServe, our shorthand for that was YMMV (Your Mileage May Vary). You are presenting what works for you the way people did there, which went well for everyone--"Here is what I've done that helps me." Thank you for putting it that way and not trying to claim what works for you will work for everyone.
We're all still in the early stages of learning how to grapple with SARS-CoV-2. It's going to be quite a while before we can past the need for YMMV disclaimers about most treatments for it.

Thank you for your thoughts and articles. Much appreciated and always read.
Thank you for saying that. I would hate to only be adding unwanted noise to the world.
