Here's a link to that press item. It says: It has only been tested on mice so far.
I know correlation isn't causation but doesn't the relationship (including the Covid one) suggest this might be worth a trial?
Is butyrate a thing that ever makes people worse? (Honest question! I've only ever seen it mentioned as something benign.)
I've always understood this to be orthostatic intolerance (sorry if you've already addressed this, the threat has already got away from me!). I...
I've just been reading The Anti-Viral Gut by gastroenterologist Robynne Chutkan, which focuses quite a bit on Covid. In it, she says that in a...
Thanks, @Binkie4 - and I hope you recover from your sleep study soon! I came across an iota version available in the UK but it appears to also...

Orthostatic intolerance. It takes a bit more explaining to nurses/receptionists but once I'm in with the clinician, they accept it without...
