Episode notes
Redefining Long COVID
- Long COVID often reflects persistent spike protein or virus lingering in the body rather than only a constellation of symptoms.
- These biochemical abnormalities can precede clinical disease and should alter diagnostic thinking.
Test Spike And Nucleocapsid Antibodies
- Use spike IgG and nucleocapsid antibody testing to help distinguish vaccine vs. infection exposure.
- Prefer LabCorp for higher quantitative range when tracking very high spike antibodies.
Spike Protein Drives Autoimmunity Signals
- Spike protein can cause molecular mimicry, raising ANA positivity widely in the population.
- Many new ANA positives post-pandemic are unexplained by classic autoimmunity patterns.
