ANECDOTE

From Peak Fitness To Chronic Illness

  • John Lieurance described becoming suddenly debilitated at 35 with arthritic pain while in peak physical condition.
  • He later discovered high Epstein-Barr, Lyme, and mold exposure under his bed contributed to his illness.
INSIGHT

Mitochondria Drive Chronic Illness Recovery

  • Chronic infections trigger a cell danger response that shuts down mitochondrial function via endotoxins.
  • Restoring mitochondrial health is central to recovering from long-term infections and fatigue.
ADVICE

Combine Antivirals With Mitochondrial Support

  • Use targeted therapies: high-dose glutathione suppositories, antivirals, IV ozone, IV vitamin C, and fasting helped John recover.
  • Combine systemic antivirals with mitochondrial support and detox for chronic infections.
