    Reasons for no antibodies after SARS-CoV-2 Infection (Liu et al., Sept. 2021)

    Interestingly, many patients with Long Covid report that they never tested positive on any antibody tests. The following CDC study tried to determine why some people don't seem to develop antibodies after a SARS-CoV-2 infection, even though they tested positive on a PCR test. (a phenomenon...

    The Latest Long Hauler Research From Dr. Bruce Patterson

    Since they finally seem to have their first paper published soon, this time for real, hopefully, I'd like to discuss this latest update. Their main point for the symptomology is angiogenesis and vasodilation. This also happens in MCAS and CFS/ME, though. This is why histamine-induced symptoms...

    Why Women are More Prone to Long Covid (and ME/CFS)

    Long-COVID and CFS/ME are not MCAS

    The inducement for this post is the growing publicity of the theory that Long-COVID is just a simple disease in disguise, such as MCAS, and that there is a quick solution around the corner. For MCAS, a low histamine diet would be a simple fix to all the problems. This is the subtext of the...
