With many thanks to our friend Michelle at Foodsmatter for providing us with an excellent and very useful summary of the recent Long Covid Conference run by Biolab. Some excellent up to date information detailing several expert views on what's going on and potential strategies for treatment. I am happy to say that I have …
I've been thinking this for a while. Given what we know about viruses and how they mutate and perform, I have long been hoping that a much more infectious, milder variant would come along and push the more serious variants out. I wonder if that is what is happening with Omicron? And it seems I …

What is remarkable about vitamin C is that it is an antioxidant, an anti-viral, and also anti-inflammatory. It's an impressive three-in-one defender. Not one adverse event has been reported in any published vitamin C clinical trials in COVID-19 patients.the review of 12 clinical trials shows is that "intravenous vitamin C may improve oxygenation parameters, reduce …
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 …

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 …
