Long COVID fatigue linked to malfunctioning mitochondria

Bicycle Wheels and Shadows

At least 65 million people around the world have long COVID, a condition where they continue to experience COVID-19 symptoms for months after their symptoms originally start.

The most common symptoms of long COVID are fatigue, dizziness, mobility issues, sleep problems, cognitive impairment, and brain fog or inability to concentrate.

Prof. Michèle van Vugt, professor of internal medicine at the Amsterdam University Medical Center and co-lead author of this study, told Medical News Today she and her colleagues decided to look for a physical cause of the tiredness experienced by people with long COVID because of the impact it has on their lives.

For this study, Prof. van Vugt and her team recruited 25 people with long COVID and 21 healthy control participants. They were all asked to take a cycling test for approximately 15 minutes, that was designed to push them to maximum exertion.

According to researchers, the cycling test caused a worsening of symptoms in the participants with long COVID, known as post-exertional malaise (PEM), resulting in worsening of fatigue for up to 7 days after.

Scientists examined blood and muscle tissue samples from all participants both one week before the cycling test and one day after.

They found various abnormalities in the muscle tissue of the participants with long COVID, including lowered functioning of the mitochondria of the muscle. Known as the “powerhouse of the cell,” mitochondria are responsible for making the energy needed to power the body’s cells.

“So, the cause of the fatigue is really biological,” Prof. van Vugt explained. “The brain needs energy to think. Muscles need energy to move. This discovery means we can now start to research an appropriate treatment for those with long COVID.”

Grief Groceries

Some great advice for those who wish to help someone struggling!

Grief Groceries!

I saw this letter today- as a funeral directors son, I have been around this for years. This is some of the best advice I have ever seen.

“Hey there, Thanks for writing. I’m really glad your friend has you in her life.

I get it. Grief is a funny thing. It’s the time in our life when we most need help, and also the time when asking for help is so hard. Not because we are ashamed to ask for help, although that happens sometimes too. But mostly because our brain just sort of shuts down.

When my Dad died, I looked functional. But I wasn’t OK. Not at all. And when the news got out, the ton of people flooding me with calls, texts, and DM’s was overwhelming. I really couldn’t function. I sat on the swing in our yard and just stared into space.

People called and asked what they could do to help. I had no idea.

“Well, anything you need at all, let me know, OK?”
“OK”.

They hung up. I stared into space some more.

I had no idea what to do. What I needed. I didn’t even know what to ask for.

Then a friend sent a text. This friend had met Dad once but didn’t really know him. But still, she knew I was hurting. I saw who it was and almost put the phone down without reading the text, but I saw the message and it stopped me:

Will you be home at 8:30 tonight?

What’s weird is this friend lives 12 hours away from me.

Yes, I replied.

“K.”

10 minutes later, she said, “Instacart will be there at 8:30. Open the door for them.”

“What?”

“Grief Groceries.!!”

When Instacart showed up, they put two large bags of groceries on my porch. Frozen pizzas. Ice cream. Oreo cookies. Tinned soup. Stouffer’s lasagna. A gallon of milk. Like that. Things I could heat up if I needed a meal, or pig out on if I needed fat and sugar.

Sometimes, you just need to eat half a box of Oreos.
Notice she didn’t ask if I needed any food. I would have said no. She just asked if I would be home.

Grief groceries.

Another friend, who lives out of town, asked Renee to name a restaurant near our house where we like to eat. There is a local chain near our house that is sort of a deli. When we eat supper there, we spend about $25. Renee told her the name of the place.

An hour later, there was a gift card in my inbox for $250. Yes, that is a lot of money, and I understand not everyone can do that. But the wonderful thing was that because it was enough for multiple meals, we didn’t try to save it for “the right time”. We ate there that night, and take out from there several times a week for the next month on nights when I just didn’t have the spoons to cook.

Both of those gift-givers knew something I didn’t know – that when you are grieving, you don’t want to make decisions. No, that’s not quite it: You can’t make decisions. You hit decision fatigue really fast.

So, I guess what I’m saying is, don’t ask grieving people to make big choices or decisions. “How can I help” is a big choice. But “Can I take the kids this afternoon so you can have some time to yourself” is a much smaller one. “Will you be home tonight?” is a small choice. “What restaurant do you like” is a small decision. Just showing up to cut their grass because you noticed it needed cutting is loads better than asking, “Do you want me to cut the grass?” Or, “I’m going to Target. What can I get you while I’m there?” is better than “Can I run any errands for you?”

It won’t always be like this. If you stick around, eventually they will surface and ways to be helpful will make themselves known. But in the first few days, especially, it helps to remove as many decisions from their plate as you can!”

Fauci and Others Planned for a “Universal mRNA Flu Vaccine” Which Became the “COVID-19 mRNA Vaccine” Because People were not Afraid Enough of the Flu Virus

Milken Institute Panel Discussion

Fauci and Others Planned for a “Universal mRNA Flu Vaccine” Which Became the “COVID-19 mRNA Vaccine” Because People were not Afraid Enough of the Flu Virus

In short, this panel discussion focused on what they perceived as the need for a universal flu vaccine, but they admitted that the old way of producing vaccines was not sufficient for their purposes, and that they needed some kind of global event where many people were dying to be able to roll out a new mRNA vaccine to be tested on the public.

They all agreed that the annual flu virus was not scary enough to create an event that would convince people to get a universal vaccine.

And as we now know today, about 2 years after this event, that “terrifying virus” that was introduced was the COVID-19 Sars virus.

And so now we know why the flu just “disappeared” in the 2020-21 flu season. It was simply replaced by COVID-19, in a worldwide cleverly planned “pandemic” to roll out the world’s first universal mRNA vaccines.

This was always the goal, and previous efforts through various influenzas, AIDS, Ebola, and other “viruses” were all unsuccessful in leading to the development of a universal vaccine to inject into the entire world’s population.

Report 86: Pfizer’s Clinical Trial ‘Process 2’ COVID Vaccine Recipients Suffered 2.4X the Adverse Events of Placebo Recipients; ‘Process 2’ Vials Were Contaminated with DNA Plasmids

…pharmacist Erika Delph, noted an anomaly in randomization numbers that matched the number and dates of this appended ‘trial within a trial.’ Our data team and medical experts analyzed the data. What they found is shocking: 502 subjects were in a Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine sub-trial and received a drug contaminated with unacceptably high levels of DNA plasmids. It may be tempting to write this off as an accident; however, the documentation notes show that Pfizer knew that it was giving 252 unfortunate trial subjects a completely different injection than that for which they had signed up. This fact alone violates the Nuremberg Code (1947), which states that it is unlawful to run human experiments without full informed consent.

Drones Releasing Toxins Amongst the Masses

Drone Released Mosquitoes

A Quote From the Patent:

“With the toxic mosquito aerial release system, large masses of people can be immunized or enemy troops can now be wiped out or rendered useless without having to risk or endanger our own troops. The toxic mosquito aerial release system is extremely low cost and can easily accomplish what a billion dollars in medical interventions and air strikes cannot do.The mosquitoes in the toxic mosquito aerial release system can be contaminated with various types of genetically altered bacteria to activate the immune system, or contaminated with toxic sickness agents depending on the objectives. For military purposes, the mosquitoes may be used to deliver an agent such as malaria to create sickness, or they could use much more toxic or highly contagious agents and viruses. A highly contagious virus could wipe out 100% of the enemy troops because the ones that did not get bitten will be contaminated by their fellow soldiers.The toxic mosquito aerial release system is a new and needed technology. It is a way to administrative curative or immunological injection, to administer calmative agents, or to administer deadly disease to wipe out and disable the enemy at a minimal cost. For use in conflict, there is no longer the need to spend countless billions of dollars and to destroy entire areas with bombing, and to wound or sacrifice our bravest and finest soldiers. When it comes down to the hell of war or the miraculous, beautiful technology of a mosquito, the choice will be easy to make.”

Covered Up: mRNA Shedding, Transmissibility and Cancer

Recently, I found myself down a rabbit hole of FDA documents and holy smokes, guys – what I found is a real barn burner. I’m going to try and keep this as brief as possible so that the gravity of what I’m about to share isn’t lost in too many details. In my opinion, what I’ve discovered is nothing less than premeditated murder.

It’s crazy to even say that, but there’s no other conclusion that I can draw after reviewing these FDA ‘Guidance for Industry’ documents, published years before the Covid fiasco. This is the smoking gun evidence that proves they knew that the gene therapy products they masqueraded as ‘vaccines’ had the ability to shed, cause cancer and kill…

…They knew about the potential for this to transfer (shed) from those injected with the Covid-19 gene therapy product to those who did not consent. They identified multiple vectors in which a non-consenting person could be affected and harmed through the body fluid or excretions of a treated person. This is an open admission and a clear violation of the Nuremburg Code’s first principle of voluntary consent…

…This document warns that these gene therapy products carry the risk of adverse effects on normal cell function and could delay adverse events for months or even years. Even more alarming is the disclaimer about the ‘integration of genetic material into the host genome’ and ‘altered expression’ of the host’s genes. The fact checkers will tell you until they’re blue in the face that the jabs do not affect or change your DNA and clearly, that is false.

A 2023 study analyzed the cellular DNA of humans suffering from Long Covid. The authors found genes uniquely specific to the Pfizer COVID BNT162b2 vaccine in those human blood cells. Their findings prove that mRNA COVID vaccines permanently integrate into the DNA of some COVID-vaccinated people.

Simply put, the regulatory agencies knew that these products could integrate into the host genome, cause cancer (malignant transformation), autoimmune disorders and adverse events years after the fact. Also, consider that even when these products do not integrate into the genome, the continual exposure due to the shedding (discussed above) may increase the risk of cancer.

In 2021 I said that in 3-5 years we were going to see the true extent of the damage from the Covid vaccines. What are we seeing now? Turbo cancers and an onslaught of ‘died suddenly’ headlines amongst the otherwise young and healthy. Oncologists are reporting an alarming increase in aggressive, fast-growing cancers that don’t respond to the normal treatment protocols.

Safer Supply Insanity

Dan Knight @DanKnightMMA writes on Twitter:

Let’s talk about the absurdity that’s unfolding in British Columbia under Premier David Eby. Remember the good old days when public service announcements warned us about the dangers of drugs? Fast forward to today, and it’s as if those warnings never existed. Eby’s government, in a move that defies logic, has essentially become the drug dealer to our youth.

The BC government, under the guise of ‘safer supply,’ is now offering fentanyl – one of the deadliest drugs out there – to minors. And here’s the kicker: parents are being sidelined in this decision. No minimum age, no parental consent. It’s a brazen trampling of parental rights and a gross misstep in public health policy.

Sam Cooper’s report from Nanaimo is a glaring testament to the insanity of the BC government’s policies. It paints a harrowing picture of a community torn apart by the very policies meant to ‘help.’ In Nanaimo, the introduction of ‘safer supply’ programs, taxpayer-funded no less, has turned the city into a hotbed of crime and disorder. What’s happening there is nothing short of a tragedy fueled by misguided government actions.

This isn’t just about providing a so-called ‘safer’ drug supply; it’s a complete inversion of common sense. We used to teach our children to stay away from drugs, to report drug dealers. Now, the government is stepping into that very role, offering dangerous substances to minors without any substantial evidence backing this decision. It’s not just irresponsible; it’s downright insane.

Think about it – we’re talking about a drug that has claimed countless lives, wreaking havoc across communities. And now, the BC government wants to hand it out to kids without even a nod to parental authority or responsibility. What message does this send? It’s a slap in the face to every parent trying to keep their kids safe from the clutches of addiction.

And let’s not forget the utter lack of evidence supporting this so-called intervention. The protocols admit there’s no evidence backing the safety or efficacy of this approach. Yet, the government proceeds, blinded by their ideologically driven agenda, indifferent to the potential consequences.

This isn’t health care; it’s state-sponsored recklessness. By framing the provision of fentanyl as medical care, the BC government is not just overstepping its bounds; it’s setting a dangerous precedent. By circumventing the parents The NDP government led by David Eby, has lost its mind. They’re effectively saying, ‘We know better than you about your own kids.’ This isn’t governance; it’s a delusional power trip. John Rustad of the BC Conservatives called it right – this is a parent’s worst nightmare. And where’s Kevin Falcon of BC United? His silence speaks volumes. People are waking up, hence the surge of the BC Conservative Party in polls. They’re sick of the NDP’s focus on everything but the real issues: rampant drug issues, money laundering, and injecting gender ideology into schools. We’re at a point where saying ‘drugs are bad’ is somehow revolutionary. It’s time for a reality check and a serious change in BC.

Parental rights shouldn’t be a battlefield, but under this BC government led by David Eby, it’s a war zone. We parents bring our children into this world, constantly fretting over their safety, desperately trying to shield them from life’s darkest elements. And now, to add to our nightmares, we have a government that thinks it’s okay to hand out fentanyl to our kids without a parents consent. This is beyond absurd; it’s a gross betrayal of trust.

Parental rights should be sacrosanct, not a controversial topic. But here we are, in a province where the government thinks it’s okay to bypass parents and hand out deadly drugs to minors. It’s a no-brainer – this should never have happened. We’ve hit a boiling point. It’s time to slam the brakes on these ludicrous ‘safe supply’ policies. Handing out fentanyl and hydromorphone like it’s candy on Halloween isn’t compassion; it’s a death sentence. The dignity of life is being trampled on the streets of the Downtown Eastside, with addiction holding sway over too many lost souls. The BC government’s approach? More drugs. It’s like trying to put out a fire with gasoline.

We need to shut down this fentanyl flow, end these ludicrous ‘safe supply’ policies. There’s no dignity in addiction, no honor in living on the streets, enslaved by opioids. The downtown east side isn’t a symbol of progressive policy; it’s a monument to policy failure.

The BC government needs to mobilize like it’s wartime. We’re in a state of emergency, and it’s time they treated it as such. Roll out the tents, create a comprehensive treatment plan, and address this drug crisis with the urgency it demands.

I’ll throw my support behind any politician brave enough to stand against these failed policies. We need a seismic shift, a return to common sense, and a recognition of the dire situation we’re in. It’s time for a change, and it’s needed now more than ever. Enough is enough.
