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 …

Looking at countries like Japan and South Korea where they have very low levels of Covid-19 deaths as well as very low levels of adult obesity, you will see they have prioritised public health across a range of lifestyle orientated measures, including population weight, and it has paid off in the pandemic today and in …

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 …
