Dear Steve,

DID YOU KNOW that while it's been established that secondhand smoke is a detriment to health and linked to cancer, a study in the Journal of Exposure Science & Environmental Epidemiology suggest thirdhand smoke, which is the presence of toxic tobacco by-products that remain on surfaces such as furniture, décor, walls and floors, may also be carcinogenic?

Researchers found nicotine on surfaces in all of the children's homes where study subjects smoked, and detected the presence of a tobacco-specific carcinogen (called NNK) in nearly half of the homes. NNK levels on surfaces and vacuumed dust were similar, which indicates that surfaces and dust can be similar reservoirs and sources of thirdhand smoke exposure for children.

Steve: You may recall that very soon after the pandemic began and people were presenting with symptoms that would linger for weeks and months, I said there were several areas of the body that required specific focus: gastrointestinal, immunological and especially, mitochondrial.

Better late than never. New research has corroborated my recommendation.

Mitochondrial - a study published last week in Nature Communications found that the reason fatigue was the most common symptom in those with long COVID was due to abnormalities in the muscle tissue from lower functioning mitochondria (cells that energize the muscle). Detoxing and rejuvenating mitochondria is paramount for treating long COVID for some people.

Immunological - a study published two months ago in JAMA purport that long COVID is an autoimmune disorder (chronic immune dysfunction). Moreover, other viruses such as the common cold can create immunologic dysfunction, sometimes leading to an autoimmune disorder. Relaxing and repairing the immune system is critical to long COVID recovery for some people.

Gastrointestinal - a study in this summer's Alimentary Pharmacology & Therapeutics found that those with long COVID have numerous gastrointestinal-related maladies such as dyspepsia, irritable bowel syndrome, GERD, among others. Repairing, restoring, and rejuvenating the gut is paramount for long COVID recovery for some people.

After much experience working with long COVID clients, I've found that recovery is possible, although there is no set timeline, as everyone is different. I've had the most success with clients who are willing to stick with it and know that the first suggestion may not be the suggestion that ultimately unlocks healing.
