Long COVID, characterized by lingering symptoms after a COVID-19 infection, is addressed with specialized therapies at Orthomolecular Nutrition & Wellness Center. Our approach includes Myers Cocktail, NAD+, Plaquex, and Molecular Hydrogen Therapy, each tailored to alleviate the persistent effects of Long COVID and enhance overall health recovery.
Myers Cocktail
The Myers Cocktail Therapy is a pivotal part of managing Long COVID at Orthomolecular Nutrition & Wellness Center. This intravenous therapy delivers a powerful blend of vitamins and minerals directly into the bloodstream, bypassing the digestive system for maximum absorption. Key components include Vitamin C, B Vitamins, Magnesium, and Calcium, which work synergistically to boost the immune system, reduce fatigue, and alleviate other Long COVID symptoms like brain fog and muscle weakness.
For patients recovering from Long COVID, this therapy provides essential nutrients that may have been depleted during their illness. The direct infusion of these nutrients helps restore energy levels, improve cognitive function, and enhance the body’s natural healing processes. Myers Cocktail Therapy is an integral part of our holistic approach to Long COVID, providing a supportive, nutrient-rich foundation for patients on their path to recovery.
NAD+ Restoration
NAD+ Restoration Therapy is an innovative therapy offered at Orthomolecular Nutrition & Wellness Center for managing Long COVID. Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide (NAD+), a critical molecule in cellular metabolism, tends to decrease with age. Boosting NAD+ levels is vital for supporting health span processes and longevity pathways. This becomes especially important in the context of Long COVID, where cellular energy and metabolic functions may be compromised.
NAD+ plays a pivotal role in numerous metabolic activities, from energy production to DNA maintenance. By increasing NAD+ levels through our restoration therapy, patients can experience enhanced cellular energy, activation of beneficial genes, DNA repair, and optimization of various cellular functions. For individuals recovering from Long COVID, this boost in NAD+ can be instrumental in overcoming fatigue, improving cognitive function, and enhancing overall recovery.
Our NAD+ Restoration Therapy ensures that patients receive a precise dose, tailored to their specific needs, to effectively support their recovery from Long COVID. This therapy is integral to our comprehensive approach, aiming to restore optimal cellular health and function in those affected by Long COVID.
Plaquex
Plaquex Therapy is a key component in the management of Long COVID at Orthomolecular Nutrition & Wellness Center. This therapy involves the use of natural phospholipids to improve cellular health and circulation, which can be significantly affected in Long COVID cases. Plaquex helps in restoring the integrity of cellular membranes, thereby enhancing cell function and detoxification processes. Improved circulation, a direct benefit of Plaquex therapy, ensures better oxygen and nutrient delivery to tissues, aiding in the recovery from the lingering effects of COVID-19.
This therapy is particularly beneficial in addressing fatigue, one of the common symptoms of Long COVID, by improving energy levels at the cellular level. At our wellness center, Plaquex Therapy is administered with precision and care, tailored to the specific health requirements of each Long COVID patient, thereby offering a personalized approach to support their recovery and overall well-being.
Molecular Hydrogen Therapy
Molecular Hydrogen Therapy offers a novel approach to managing Long COVID at Orthomolecular Nutrition & Wellness Center. This therapy utilizes hydrogen-rich water or inhalation of hydrogen gas to deliver molecular hydrogen to the body. The therapy has been recognized for its antioxidant properties, reducing oxidative stress and inflammation, which are key factors in Long COVID. Molecular Hydrogen Therapy aids in neutralizing harmful free radicals and supports cellular health, crucial for patients recovering from Long COVID. The therapy is known to improve energy levels, reduce fatigue, and alleviate other persistent symptoms associated with Long COVID.
Administered under professional supervision, Molecular Hydrogen Therapy forms a part of our comprehensive treatment strategy for Long COVID, aiming to enhance the body’s natural healing processes and provide relief from the ongoing effects of the illness. This innovative therapy underscores our commitment to utilizing advanced, natural methods to support the health and recovery of our Long COVID patients.
Long Haul Covid
About one out of every three people who had COVID develop symptoms of long COVID, defined by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention as a group of symptoms that linger for weeks or months after a COVID-19 infection. These long COVID symptoms can cause problems in multiple organs and body systems at once. Even people who had a mild case of the virus can have persistent COVID symptoms that disrupt their daily life.
What are some of the symptoms?
Neurological symptoms:
One in three people with long COVID experience neurological symptoms. These symptoms can linger for weeks or months after the initial COVID-19 infection. As leaders in neurology, our experts treat cognitive problems and issues that affect the nervous system, including:
- “Brain fog” (difficulty thinking, reasoning or concentrating) after COVID-19
- Eye issues, including blurry vision or double vision
- Headaches
- Loss of taste and loss of smell (parosmia)
- Tinnitus (ringing in the ears)
Cardiovascular symptoms:
Severe COVID-19 infections can cause long-term heart damage. But people who had mild COVID symptoms can also have recurring or chronic heart and vascular problems. These include:
- Blood clots and vein (vascular) damage
- Chest pain
- Dizziness when standing up (orthostatic hypotension)
- Fast-beating or pounding heart (heart palpitations)
- High blood pressure (hypertension)
Respiratory symptoms:
Long COVID can cause persistent problems with the lungs and oxygen levels in the body. Many people with long COVID experience lingering:
- Cough
- Exhaustion after little exertion
- Fatigue
- Hypoxia (low levels of oxygen in tissues throughout the body)
- Shortness of breath
Mental health symptoms:
A range of psychological problems can occur after a COVID-19 infection. These issues can result from the virus itself or from the stressful experience of being treated for a serious illness. They may also come with the challenges of living with long-term physical symptoms. Mental health effects of long COVID include:
- Anxiety
- Depression
- Insomnia and other sleep disturbances
- Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
The practitioners of Orthomolecular Nutrition and Wellness are uniquely qualified to diagnose, manage and treat symptoms of long COVID. We use a full spectrum of micronutrients given by IV such as NAD+, high dose vitamin C and other modalities to help the body regulate the immune response, inflammation and heal on a cellular level. There is no need to continue to suffer. Call to set up an appointment today.
