Weird Tools I Used to Fight Long Covid

PLEASE READ: There are contraindications to SCENAR therapy. Please, as always, consult with a qualified practitioner to see if it's right for you.

If you looked through my “Severe Insomnia (Now Resolved)” section, you probably saw the first item and got a little bit of an introduction to SCENAR (and woo woo for that matter).

So, what is SCENAR? SCENAR is a biofeedback device that communicates with your body by sending electrical currents, similar to that of the human nervous system. “In return, the nervous system activates complex mechanisms of self-adjustment and self-tuning of all body systems. ...YouTube). SCENAR originated in Russia and has been around for about 40 years now.

I can't express enough how much of a huge help it has been. There was a time where I had a massive pain behind my head that just stayed stuck there for many months (different from my head pressure), and SCENAR therapy was able to eliminate it within ...

PLEASE READ: There are contraindications to PEMF therapy. Please, as always, see a qualified practitioner to see if it's right for you.

So PEMF therapy can really help with circulation and confers other benefits. Strangely enough, it has helped with the pain that occurs whenever I touch certain objects. For example, if I were to touch leafy greens, I would get pain/pressure building ...

My SCENAR practitioner advised that I only stick with the BEMER as other PEMF therapies would be too overwhelming for me. BEMER is more gentle for my body. Additionally, there are some studies showing that PEMF therapy can help balance the autonomic nervous system (as reflected by increased heart rate variability [HRV]).

While it's worked wonders for my symptoms, my only gripe with it is that you have to insert it within 1-2 minutes while it's solid. It's pretty cold when you put it in. Talk about a wake up call.

To mitigate the problem with the suppository melting too quickly, you can place the wrapped suppository in an ice gel pack. Put the wrapped suppository in the middle of the ice gel pack, then fold the pack like you're making a taco. I also like to put this combination in an insulated pouch (like this one) to keep them cold longer.

Before starting any probiotic, it is highly recommended that you do a comprehensive stool test to see where your gut is at.

Structured water… is it really a thing? Gerald Pollack theorizes that there's a 4th phase of water, Exclusion Zone (EZ) water, which could be interchangeably called structured water. You can check out his research here: PubMed.

You might've also come across something called Analemma. They have studies on their website showing the benefits of coherent/structured water, although it is clearly biased since they did the studies.

Some have anecdotally commented that structured water tastes different from regular water and they feel more hydrated. I personally have my doubts, although I'm intrigued enough to try. I previously mentioned about hydrating for your lymphatic system, so if structured water is really a thing, then perhaps it could be helpful with hydrating your lymphatic system.

You've probably seen colostrum (notably ARMRA) being heavily marketed for gut health. There has been concern about the insulin-like growth factors in colostrum increasing the risk of prostate cancer, although this paper shows otherwise in healthy adults.

You've probably heard of L-glutamine.

C-glutamine is more stable, and therefore, bypasses...
