The drastic differences between how some people experience COVID-19 could start in the gut!One of the bigger "mysteries" surrounding SARS-CoV-2 infections has been the seemingly random severity of the the infection for person to person. 

It is expected in groups that are susceptible to severe illness i.e. the elderly or someone with other health conditions, but it is not clear as to why the some healthy people are affected so strongly while others experience no more than the symptoms of a general cold. 

There have been multiple hypotheses presented as to why this happens, one being that a persons blood type may play a crucial role, and another suggesting that gut bacteria differences may influence the severity and risk of long COVID, 

Many studies have explored the relationship between gut microbiome and COVID but not many have focused on the fungal populations known as the mycobiome. Researchers from Weill Cornel Medicine investigated whether there was a direct link between the mycobiome and severe COVID (CITATION)

"Looking at fecal samples from a small subset of patients one fungus species in particular seemed to stand out in the sickest subjects, Candida albicans. The researchers could draw a distinct correlation between increasing levels of Candida and COVID disease severity." (CITATION)

The study affirms our mycobiome does play a role in general health while reiterating the need for more research into the fungal inhabitants.

If you are struggling with COVID-19 long hauler syndrome Ozone therapy is safe and effective. We have successfully used I.V. Ozone to address chronic viral infections, long hauler syndrome/post viral syndrome and negative responses to vaccines. We offer advanced comprehensive testing to see if you have abnormal immune responses or elevated inflammatory markers before choosing your vaccine. We can check your antibody titers post vaccines.
