Summary
They had long COVID for about two years, with a life-threatening illness that caused anxiety, depression, digestive ulcers and weight loss. They credit God and functional-medicine treatments and supplements, especially IV ozone, IV vitamins, NAD shots, Mitopure and a GI supplement, with gradual recovery, and weaned off lorazepam and Lexapro after several months. They reported eating normally, regaining weight and returning to mental, physical and emotional health.
