This video is about my journey to discover the disease I've been battling with the last two years, namely Long-Covid.

This channel has previously focussed on my musical journey/ passion but for the forseable future I'll be focussing more on health content in the hopes of encouraging others battling this difficult disease.

In this video I cover my health prior to my Covid-19 infection, the process of figuring out what was going on with my health, as well as the journey of treating micro-clotting in my blood with Dr. Laubscher at the Stellenbosch Mediclinic.

    Right there with you, brother. It changed my entire life. Thanks for sharing your story.

    I am really glad you have doctors that are offering you treatments, here in the UK that's not the case. Four years in and we struggle on having to cope with debilitating symptoms.
  • Nattokinase destroys spike protein and blood clots ( by destroying fibrin, the protein that binds clots together). I have used it as a blood thinner for about 5 years as I had a bit of tinnitus and my lower legs were tired and sore in the latter part of the day. I have not noticed any negative effects. Beetroot juice is the best thing for potassium to keep the endothelial soft and prevent hardening of the arteries and thereby make for easy blood flow, especially as we get older.

    In the fall of 2020, I had nine weeks of hard Covid but got better for three months. I wish now that I had not taken the vaccine, but three months after my hard covid, I took the first Moderna shot. My body's reaction was terrible. (Other than covid and this vaccine reaction, I've been healthy my entire life. I was 58 years old and am now 61.) I was so concerned about how sick the first shot made me that I asked my doctor if I should forgo the second shot. He basically scoffed at me and insisted that I get the second shot. Again, after the second shot, I got terribly sick. For two years thereafter, I had a dozen symptoms every day. During the third year, I've had about five daily symptoms. The severity of the symptoms comes in waves. Thankfully, I now have more mild days, but the crashes still come. I'm convinced that had I not taken the vaccine, I would not be in this condition. It's sad that the vax conversation gets shut down because it's so political. Our health should not be a political issue.

    I have had Long COVID since Nov. 2020. I had tested "critically high" for Covid-19 and I was in the hospital a couple of times with pneumonia and other complications. I was physically fit before getting the virus. I also had 2 Pfizer shots in Mar. 2021. The second shot nearly killed me. I had to leave my job of Industrial Construction. I thought I would get better over time. But, I have gone down hill quickly over the past 6 months. I now have severe dysautonomia, severe orthostatic hypotension, POTS, fibromyalgia, extreme fatigue, post exertion malaise, small fiber neuropathy, atonic bladder, large post void urine retention, I now have to wear a permanent Foley catheter, I have ileus in my intestines, my colon does not move my stool like it should, I have left ventricle failure, the bottom of my lungs are collapsed, and I have several other health problems. Unfortunately, I know of many others like me who have been fighting the virus for 3-4 years now and who are also getting worse. We need answers and help before it is too late.

    Thank you for making this.
  • First day, March 2020 I smelt a rat. Put myself and my family on CBD, Vit C, Vit D2 and Zinc amongst others and in the past 4 and a half years none of us have had a day's illness. No va666ines either.
  • I'm so sorry for you son. I'm assuming you were perfectly healthy before you accepted the vax, but there is no indication from what you have said, that you have managed to join the dots on what is the most likely reason for your health problems.
  • @Lolabelle59
    Sorry you've been dealing with this, but so glad you found Dr. Laubscher. Wishing you all the best. 😊

    Informative and interesting and will be a useful platform for other people also struggling with this condition. Thanks for sharing .

    Would like to know the results of a D-dimer blood test should you have had one.
  • Thank you Chris for your testimony. I’m in the UK and been struggling with long Covid since July 2022. The doctors are at a loss as to how to treat it. Like you, horrendous fatigue and continuous feeling of not being well- regular headaches too. To be brutal, it’s a living hell; haven’t worked for almost 2 years. Interesting to hear about the micoclotting; maybe that’s my issue but no idea where to get this tested and treated in the UK.
  • @Richexperience1
    Thank you for your story. I have long COVID also 4 years and have not tried the triple therapy yet. I was thinking about doing it for a month and seeing how it turned out. A watching your video you have been on it for seven months. Wow that is an extremely long time much much longer than I thought I would have to be on it. The fact that it’s making your symptoms worse really turns me off to this treatment. keep us updated. Best of luck.
