Comments of the week
“Most of the long-term COVID studies are looking at chemical interactions in our bodies – and that is far too limited. I don’t have all the immediate research to refer to, but there is plenty of evidence (and many have accepted) that persistent COVID and mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS) are essentially the same thing. Tina Peers found that most of her long-term COVID patients reported symptoms of MCAS before they had COVID, suggesting a genetic or latent predisposition to long-term COVID lies in the dysfunction mast cells. Anyone with persistent COVID also had asthma, hypothyroidism, food sensitivities before you got COVID? When you turn your lens to mast cells, you have to acknowledge the complexity of the effect on the body – it’s not just about too much histamine, but a bunch of other chemicals. When our body is, or thinks it is under attack, our mast cells activate, and in the process release histamine and cortisol for the purposes of this discussion. So to “fight” a paper cut, infection, bee sting or cat hair, our bodies go into full battle mode – inflammation – and our cortisol levels go up. When everything is working properly, histamine and cortisol levels drop over time, and we return to equilibrium. However, our bodies have been attacked by all sorts of toxins for decades, or maybe we have a genetic abnormality like the deficiency of the Mannose or Ehlers Danlos binding lectin, so our bodies cannot find equilibrium, and we end up with adrenal fatigue. I have no proof of this, but I hope that the authors of this article are measuring this adrenal fatigue as just a symptom of the underlying condition providing a welcome backdrop for COVID. lengthen. And when COVID – a mast cell disease – discovered that welcome pad, the already existing sensitization and inflammation began to kick in, and we’ve had COVID for a long time. How do we treat it? As you would do MCAS – with a strict low-histamine diet and analysis identifying vitamin deficiencies (probably B and D, to begin with). Reduce emotional stress, avoid triggers like heat and exercise, pace yourself, get more sleep, and accept that this will take some time.
