You might as well recommend some healing crystals or magnetic wristbands.

@Gerudo@lemm.ee should speak to a doctor about possible treatments and not take random unproven advice from the internet.

So, an innocuous supplement treatment, with multiple legitimate studies is the same as healing crystals? Got it.

Not everything in the world is horse parasite quackery.

My doctor did review the studies and agreed it was worth trying given the lack of known long COVID treatments.

an innocuous supplement treatment

Healing crystals are an innocuous treatment that have been involved in multiple studies also, so yes.

Let’s not dwell on the outcome or legitimacy of those studies at all, for either treatment.

Your doctor did a review? Such a nice claim to authority there with zero evidence. It is nice that everything and everyone on the internet can be trusted.

I stand by my statement. Anyone suffering medical issues should seek help from a medical professional and ignore random internet advice.
