“All my bloods were normal and tradition medicine could not help. It was then a functional doctor, who actually works for the NHS, suggested that I had a mitochondria problem and sent me for a very high level and specific blood test. I had never heard of Mitochondria but they are your energy cells in your body, and if they don’t work correctly your whole body is not going to work as it should.

“My results were appalling but I felt elated as now I knew what the issue was. I had a causation! I had to reset my mitochondrial, to get back to where I was. So I started doing red light therapy (photo biomodulation), which creates new mitochondrial in your body. Combining all the therapies, Biowell Health have made the real difference to my health and my energy levels."

Wow.
 
“I looked globally where I could get all this stuff and there wasn’t anywhere. In the States, there was a very big company called Restore Hyper Wellness. I enquired about starting a franchise in the UK but they weren’t interested, so I created a business plan to bring the best technology in the world to the U.K, to reset someone’s mitochondrial health and general cellular wellness, and that is what Biowell Health is about.”

So this is just an advertisement.

Italy's speed skater Francesca Lollobrigida, who won gold today at the Winter Olympics, suffered for months from the effects of a viral infection

"The 34-year-old Roman, a two-time Olympic medalist (silver in the 3000m and bronze in the mass event at Beijing 2022), recounted her difficult approach to the Games in a post published today on social media: " Sport isn't just about winning. It's about falling, losing yourself, doubting yourself... and choosing to get back up. This year, a viral infection knocked me out during the most important months. My body wasn't responding, my head was pounding, and my Olympic dream seemed to be slipping away. I was scared, I cried, I thought about quitting. I had forgotten why I skate ."

Not sure if she had Covid or another bout of EBV.

About german musician Wolf Maahn.

AI translation:
WOLF MAAHN – Longer concert break due to his Long Covid illness!
February 23, 2026

smago! sincerely wishes Wolf Maahn a speedy recovery and hopes he can return to the stage soon!


WOLF MAAHN has spoken out on his Facebook page.

Previously, on February 12, 2026, his record label libero rec had already left a message for his fans:

“After Wolf saw his doctor yesterday, we discussed what lessons he should draw from his circulatory collapse in Bochum. In short: Wolf would like to take a longer recovery period, and therefore there will be no rescheduled date for Bochum. Tickets will be refunded at the point of purchase. In addition, the shows in Affalter and Nuremberg will be canceled. Wolf will also speak out personally.”
He did so on February 20, 2026. He writes:

“A thousand thanks to everyone for the well wishes, encouragement, and motivational messages! They’re slowly starting to work! ; ) But the fact that my concert at the Zeche Bochum recently had to be canceled due to circulatory collapse has given me a lot to think about. I am truly sorry for the people who traveled there in vain — some of them several hundred kilometers… That’s not acceptable!

It is becoming unmistakably clear: I need a longer recovery period, and it is also sensible to skip the scheduled concerts in Affalter and Nuremberg. I actually thought I was slowly over the worst of it, but Long COVID or Post-COVID (whatever the approximate diagnosis may be) remains a major mystery, with new findings emerging weekly in the medical community. No one knows for sure — not even how long it will last… I believe I have a pretty good team of conventional and alternative medical practitioners. One of them said after Bochum that elevated adrenaline levels at live concerts may ‘possibly’ cause an overreaction of the body in cases of Long Covid, leading to blood pressure fluctuations. Ah well, whatever…

This year, the priority is to ensure that I am truly fully fit before stepping onto a stage again.

See you soon
Wolf”
P.S.: Wolf Maahn will celebrate his 71st birthday on March 25, 2026.
 
So, after all that, its not rocket science:

"It is becoming unmistakably clear:

Singer Tiffany, who originally became famous in the 1980s, is battling long Covid which leaves her “battling with chronic fatigue”

 
From the article about Tiffany:

“Some days I just battle feeling well enough to go and work out which is not the norm for me. I’ve always enjoyed working out however tired I’ve been. I’ve always been very strong and believed in ‘mind over matter’ but there have been days where I have to listen to my body and I’m like, I don’t have it in me today. If I push myself I will actually be doing further damage.”
“But there have been times when I have flare ups and then I really do retain water. And you can’t hide that from the camera. The camera makes it worse. You’re like, I don’t look like that in person do I? And people say, No, but the camera adds a million pounds. I’m horrified by pictures of me taken from live shows sometimes.”
She adds, “But now I’m on all these Long Covid sites, I see people have it a lot worse than I am dealing with. For me it’s an annoyance, but I’ve met a lot of people and they don’t have the energy to do most things, so I’m blessed to feel like I got a very slight bit of it, and I’m making it work. I do get flare ups that throws me in a curve ball, but we’ve just got to find what this is so we can over come it. On my chat rooms, I do a lot of meditation and prayer for everyone to get through this.”
 

Former WJZ reporter, weekend sports anchor Stan Saunders dies at 72​


Former WJZ reporter and weekend sports anchor Stan Saunders died on Friday, June 26, his family said. He was 72 years old.

Saunders, who retired from WJZ in 2013, was the founder of the nonprofit Baltimore Academy of Sports and Entertainment.

Saunders' family said he suffered from long COVID.

"It turned into sarcoidosis and took its toll," his family said in a statement. "So it is well with his soul and our souls, that The Man, The Myth, The Legend has gone to his resting place in Heaven."

Baltimore Academy of Sports and Entertainment was implemented into the Baltimore City Public School System in 2020.

Saunders was an adjunct professor at Towson State University and a Professor of Media Studies at Johns Hopkins University. He later became a substitute teacher at Edmonson Westside High and Loch Raven Tech.


Saunders was also a longtime staple on Baltimore TV screens, working for WJZ until 2013.

"He was truly beloved in our newsroom," WJZ stated. "Stan had a way with words. More than that, he had a presence you could feel. When Stan was in the newsroom, you knew it; his energy, humor, and spirit made us all better."
 
The billionaire who wants to live forever just admitted he has long covid. Specifically, covid wrecked his lungs.

https://www.donotpanic.news/p/the-billionaire-who-wants-to-live

Just included a very small snip of what he wrote on how he's going to recover from this :emoji_open_mouth::emoji_open_mouth: You'll have to read about it on X in his link.

"Bad news #1: I have an autoimmune disease. My stomach is eating itself.Bad news #2: 2–5% of people have this, too. Likely more, because it hides.Good news: I'm going to try and solve it. Will share all"

 
He discusses his low ferritin issues. He has Autoimmune Gastritis (AIG). not long covid, but low ferritin is common in pwLC and pwME.

In post #354 the author posting on Twitter/X refers to his "team". I wonder what purpose his team serves and how they help him.
 
@Arnie Pye

He shares a very long post on the link I posted. Are you on X?

I think he wrote(too much to read at the moment) that he's spending 1M on his treatments. Here is a portion of what his "team" is doing:

"My team and I are going to try and solve my AIG. This is how we’re approaching it:

First, routine monitoring keeps the disease in view: ferritin and iron, B12, the pepsinogen I/II ratio, gastrin, and chromogranin A.


Gastrin is the dial to watch. If it climbs, the disease is advancing, and the risk of gastric neuroendocrine tumors climbs with it.

Second, we’re doing advanced characterization of the disease. We’ll do a repeat biopsy to read the immune infiltrate, deep cytokine profiling, and T-cell subset analysis, to see which pathways are actually firing.That testing drives the intervention plan, including the experimental approaches we intend to develop.+ If gastrin and chromogranin rise: damp the gastrin drive (netazepide) and tighten endoscopic surveillance. If the profile is Th1 / interferon-driven: target JAK/STAT.+ If it's Th17 / IL-17-driven: target IL-17 and STAT3.+ If regulatory T cells are failing: rebuild them (low-dose IL-2, induced Tregs).+

If it's antibody- and B-cell-driven and antigen-specific: engineered cell therapy (CAAR-T).Which organizes into four tiers, from available today to frontier:

Tier 1, now: protect and support; zinc-L-carnosine, and acid replacement (betaine HCl with pepsin) under physician supervision. This is specific to my case and not something to self-prescribe, especially given the cancer-surveillance considerations above.

Tier 2, target the signaling , JAK/STAT, GSK-3, IL-17, and damp the gastrin drive (netazepide).Tier 3, reset the cells, induced regulatory T cells (iTregs).Tier 4, frontier: engineered T-cell therapy (CAR-T / CAAR-T), custom AI-designed antibodies, or synthetic proteins, that can specifically seek out inactivate or destroy the rogue immune cells attacking my stomach lining.

To be clear: there's no approved cure for autoimmune gastritis today. Medicine treats it as something to manage, not solve. Tiers 2 through 4 are investigational preclinical evidence at best, and in several cases therapies that still have to be built.

If you're working on autoimmune gastritis, antigen-specific tolerance, regulatory T cells, or CAAR-T for organ-specific autoimmunity, please reach out. Modern medicine has normalized too many conditions that erode our health, function, and comfort, shrinking the goal to monitoring and management while a cure is rarely even attempted. Most of these verdicts were handed down decades ago, in an era that predates nearly all of our current tech and science, and they have gone largely unchallenged. We want to change that. In the age of AI, multiomics, and custom-built DNA, proteins, and cells, no condition should be presumed incurable simply because no one has yet tried to cure it with today's stack".
 
"Autoimmune gastritis affects an estimated 2–5% of people, and likely more, because it hides and is challenging to diagnose. It's usually silent for years, surfacing only once the stomach has atrophied enough to do real damage: iron deficiency first, then B12 deficiency, then anemia from both, and over a long horizon, raised stomach-cancer risk.

In one study of people with precancerous gastric lesions, roughly 18% carried the autoimmune antibodies, and only about 1% had ever been diagnosed.And the earliest clue, low ferritin, is the one standard medicine waves through. Low iron stores get normalized and rarely investigated at all when anemia hasn't shown up yet.

That blind spot is what hid mine for a decade. The good news: the iron deficiency is now corrected.

I received a 1,000 mg Monoferric iron infusion. This was chosen for two reasons after considering multiple formulations. First, it can safely deliver a full dose of iron in a single infusion (1,000 mg), while older options like Venofer require several separate appointments to reach the same total.

Second, certain other IV iron formulations can cause a drop in blood phosphate levels, an important mineral for bones and energy. Monoferric is much less likely to do this, which matters given how closely we track long-term metabolic and bone health parameters."
