Long term Covid.

0:00 Speaker 1 Sunday morning, Labor Day, weekend, the summer is over. Well, so many things are happening, so many well, COVID is it over? Is there side effects? With us? This morning? Is doctor Peter Michlos and doctor Milos. We’ve lost so many friends the last few years. And tell us what do you think is happening? What is the pulse of

0:26 the situation.

0:28 Speaker 2 Well, what’s happening, John, is that we’re starting to see in the literature that COVID is a little bit more complex, a little bit more involved, and just getting COVID is not the end of it. Published in Nature Medicine, a journal showed that when they looked at over one hundred and thirty thousand charts of people who had COVID, they

0:52 found something very interesting that these people who have had COVID are having problems with their lives, ungs, their gut with brain fog, concentration, and a lot of clotting issues, more coronary artery disease or mini strokes, more tias, transient is ischemic attacks. And this is problematic because it’s showing up a year, two years, and up to three years later.

1:20 Some of these problems of showing up The Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland even published an article that showed the people who have COVID the spike protein, which is the little tiny key that the virus uses to enter the cell to infect you. When the body and the immune system sees that spike, it starts attacking it. But

1:41 it also stimulates the whole clotting system and the clotting mechanism of the body, which is very worrisome. And we’re seeing a record number of people who are applying for disability in the United States and they estimate that there’s over a million people who have become thisabled from long hold COVID because basically you have fatigue, you’re tired, you

2:04 can’t concentrate to do your work. And another one is anxiety people are experiencing and they’re experiencing a post traumatic stress disorder because during that period when you can’t catch your breath and you can’t breathe, you feel like you’re drowning.

2:18 And the survivors of that are having tremendous problems. So the good news is that if you get COVID or diagnosed, you really have to not ignore it, get treated early. There was a study also with mild lupurever one of the oral antivirals that the people who took it right away and took it early had less long hold COVID,

2:40 so that was also very promising. Sometimes they have to treat things that treat the symptoms with things like steroids. Initially, initially they were telling doctors not to use steroids, but doctors were listening to what was happening in Italy and other places where the doctor said, yes, it works. Have to use it to stop the cytokine storm and inflammation,

3:04 just like people were attacking hydroxychlorical in the beginning. But now all the peer of your literature shows that basically it is just an anti viral. It’s not an anti viral. It doesn’t block virus replication, but it stops the inflammation.

3:17 And when you stop the inflammation, you don’t get your lungs filling up with fluid. And the other thing is that people are getting long term problems with tasting food and smelling as well, and also more deep ain from boses in the leg and other plotting issues. And that’s why people who are on COVID when they get admitted hospital,

3:37 they often put them on a blood tinner some of the other things that they use to treat long hold COVID. Some doctors are using gluted bione because they found gluted bione it’s over the counter, was depleted in patients with COVID.

3:52 Other interesting findings were that people who take ACE inhibitors like ibersartine and ACE two inhibitors that control blood pressure, they seem to also be protective against COVID because the virus enters through something called the ACE two receptor that’s in our fat cells. And that’s why people who are heavier had more problems, and that’s why people who were

4:15 thinner had less problems. But people who are also on a drug commonly used in diabetes called met formant, for some reason, those people also had less intensive carriers emissions. So now that a few years of fast we’re learning a lot more, just like we’re learning that the people with high vitamin D levels had less admissions to the

4:35 ICU versus the people with very low vitamin D levels. And now we know that vitamin D plays a major role in our immune system and protecting us from other diseases and viruses. And overall, this virus is very tricky because it keeps mutating. We keep seeing you variants. The good news, even though it’s more contagious, it’s less deadly.

4:57 Speaker 1 So many things have changed doctor Peter from I remember the first interview I did with doctor Fauci was January twenty fifth, twenty twenty, was in I.

5:11 Speaker 2 Think twenty twenty, Yes, there was twenty.

5:14 Speaker 1 And we bought WABC on March one, twenty twenty, right at the beginning of COVID and one of the people that was with us at the closing party ended up dying. I mean, I think we’ve come a long way, but you think. I mean, I’m just asking opinion that because this was not an ordinary virus, maybe it was man made,

5:40 maybe it was created, that it had more complicated symptoms.

5:48 Speaker 2 Yeah, the concern was whether this was one of the viruses and a lab that they were doing gain of function research. Gain of function means that you want to make the virus more contagious, so in the lab setting infect more animals so they can test more different types of medicine against various viruses. The problem is when you

6:06 do gain a function where man interferes with these viruses and make it more contagious and it escapes from a lab, which is one of the theories proposed. Then we’re dealing with something that has this superability to mutate. Whe also have to remember that the flu virus mutates every year, so that’s why they update the flu vaccine. And in

6:27 twenty twenty two to twenty three blue season, forty five thousand Americans died from good old fashioned influenza. So it’s not uncommon that viruses mutate, but this one is so weird because people are getting sick in with brain fog and gut problems, that lung problems two and three years after they recover initially from COVID, and the symptoms linger like.

6:52 One of the problems is the heart inflammation that people get. Also, they get these attacks where their heart rates suddenly starts going one hundred and thirty super fast, and it’s unexplained except for COVID. So it seems to also attack the heart muscle and it seems to increase plotting. But we’re learning more about it. So when you test early, treat early,

7:16 see your doctor right away when you have flu symptoms, and most urgent cares now will test you for flu covid strap right away, So if it’s flu you’ll get your Tammy flu. If it’s COVID, you’ll get your packs of it or your Mama purvi Anti virals right away.

7:32 And that’s what you need to do. Be villain, be vigilant, and don’t just say I’m not going to treat it. I’ll let it pass. It’s better to block viral replication. And it shows that people who block the viral replication early get less long hold cod so don’t end up disabled or with brain fog or one of these other

7:51 side effects from the virus that we talked about.

7:54 Speaker 1 Doctor Peter Mihllos, thank you for your update, and I’ll meet you in church later on and we’ll light a candle because I think we need gloss help.

8:04 Speaker 2 Thank you John for always getting the truth out and helping keep our audience helping
