Viral and Other Infections in CFS/FMS and Long COVID: Part 2—Clearing the Bugs
Vitality101 Newsletter
Hello Reader,
Do you ever feel overwhelmed by the long list of infections and “hidden” culprits that plague people with CFS and fibromyalgia? Have you worried about EBV, Lyme disease, parasites, HSV, HHV-6, candida — the list just keeps growing. The truth is, all of these are notoriously difficult to test for reliably in CFS/FMS, and that just leaves you feeling even more uncertain and frustrated.
The good news is that you don’t have to identify and treat all these individually (though on occasion it helps to narrow the list down to a few). By strengthening and restoring your immune system and adopting a few targeted, healthy measures that help your body address potential threats, you can often give your system the support it needs to recover and handle the rest on its own.
In Part 2 of this three-part series on protecting yourself from viral infections, I’ll walk you through five powerful steps you can take to keep your immune system healthy and resilient. In the next two newsletters, I’ll share six additional natural bodyguards that can further help prevent infectious organisms from finding a friendly home in your body.
Follow these measures and your body can eliminate many of the remaining infections on its own.
Question to Dr. T on Low Blood Pressure
Question:
What does low blood pressure do to you and what causes low blood pressure?
Answer:
Low blood pressure isn’t always a problem. In fact, if someone feels well, has good energy, and isn’t experiencing symptoms, naturally lower readings can simply reflect a healthy cardiovascular system. But when low blood pressure shows up alongside issues like fatigue, low stamina, dizziness when standing, brain fog, or irritability when hungry ("hangry"), it may signal that the body needs support.
