Long COVID and CIRS: When Inflammation Persists
In this episode, the conversation explores the connection between long COVID and CIRS, examining how treatment requires addressing foundational health factors rather than following rigid protocols. Dr. Kelly Halderman explains that these conditions may share a crucial underlying mechanism: in approximately 22% of the population, genetic factors prevent proper antigen presentation, keeping the innate immune system chronically activated and creating an inflammatory storm.
The discussion emphasizes that successful treatment means recognizing the body's inflammatory responses as appropriate reactions to environmental stressors rather than systems that need suppression.
Episode Highlights:
- Similarities between CIRS and Long Haul
- What is CIRS (pathophysiology, signs & symptoms, tests to confirm)
- The role of hydration and water in healing
- 453 Genetic Marker does not determine your fate
