Chronic Illnesses: Long COVID
Symptoms Treated: Acute Covid Symptoms - Worse short time - 1-3 months
Last appointment: Within the last 6 months

Or look at Andrew Weil's Mediterranean food pyramid? Then join Dr. Kuon's sham group Zoom visits at UCSF. She'll talk at you for 30 minutes regarding etiquette (mostly that we can't ask her any questions because efficiency is key!), then muddle through some incredibly outdated and simplistic pdfs outlining the above. You have zero access to her afterwards and cannot ask any about illnesses triggered post-covid. No, she won't prescribe you anything remotely experimental or off-label and is a self-professed "no drug doctor." Her Long Covid protocol that will solve all our collective suffering? Don't eat "SAD," she says, otherwise known as the Standard American Diet and supplements. That's it. Here, I'll save you endless wait-lists, time and money with a direct copy-paste from her: • Quercetin 1500 mg daily in divided doses (liposomal preferred) • Bromelain 1200 units-2400 units in between meals • Vitamin C 1000 mg daily in divided doses • Zinc picolinate 30 mg twice daily • Melatonin 3-6 mg at night (the optimal dose is unknown) • Vitamin D3 5000 u/day–increase as needed to achieve a high normal range. • NAC 1500-2700 mg daily in 2-3 divided doses • Omega-3 (either fish oil or vegan algae oil 3 grams daily in divided doses • Turmeric 1000-2000 mg in divided doses. Alt: Resveratrol 1000 mg daily (with fat/food) • Low salt (2.3 grams) and high potassium (except for kidney impairment) anti- inflammatory diet. • Optional: Famotidine 40mg BID (reduce dose with kidney impairment) Nothing that AI or a Pinterest board can't solve.
