There seems to be more and more evidence stacking up that we should take enough Vitamin C at the start of any symptoms and that Vitamin C early on in acute cases can help enormously. The Frontline COVID-19 Critical Care Expert Group (FLCCC), a group of emergency medicine experts, have reported that, with the combined …
With the regulations changing and more mask-less people out and about, transmitting and catching Covid - and possibly having to deal with Long Covid for months - is more likely. Therefore, it strikes me that the effectiveness of our masks is going to become even more important! I note that Scotland has recommended the continued …
As you know, I am keeping my eye out for anything we can learn about helping the inevitable wave of Long Covid and post-viral patients we are going to see. I've written about Long Covid and given a suggested protocol to follow in my Covid Factsheet here, and see my video on it here (I …

I think I said right at the start of this in my Covid factsheet that I would be tempted to make sure there was no blood brain barrier (BBB) breach or neuroinflammation (NI) ongoing after Covid infections. I was worried that some people were having hallucinations etc. Ongoing NI can cause all sorts of problems …

Will Covid vaccines work? What happens with new variants? How will we protect ourselves from future pandemics? Excellent article from Patrick Holford for you today on these topics, and more. I wholeheartedly agree with much of what he says, not least asking why the UK government is not taking any notice of other countries' approaches …
I note the news items today linking obesity rates with COVID deaths. These were sparked by research released today by the World Obesity Study. Countries with high levels of overweight people, such as the UK and the US, have the highest death rates from Covid-19, a landmark report reveals, prompting calls for governments to urgently …
I've added a few bits to the Covid Factsheet for you today. I will continue to do so as useful stuff comes up. First, The Lancet recently published an article stating that vaccinations given more towards the top of the arm near the bone rather than a bit lower down causes more arm pain. Here’s …
I realised my COVID Guidance document on the blog was getting rather enormoose so I've updated it and made it into a proper factsheet for you. Much easier to find your way around and access all the info you could possibly need. A 47 page freebie (I know!), I've included loads of tips I've picked …
I've had quite a few of you reporting in that you've had your first - and second - vaccines and, so far, I've not heard of any real problems, which is GOOD news 🙂 Tim Spector of the ZOE Covid app is asking everyone to log their vaccine experience: which one they had, any effects …

I know I've done a few videos recently on how to read test results - see the Gut and Hormone ones here - but I thought I'd start a more general regular 'video slot' for you too. The first is about Long Covid and the question I received was: I had Covid 8 weeks ago …
