Summary
After several COVID infections, the last in May 2024 attacking their lungs, they had debilitating breathlessness, chest pain and nasal and throat problems for about 2.5 years. They started their own stack of nattokinase, bromelain, NAC, vitamin D and magnesium and gave up alcohol; by day 8 symptoms were easing. By July 2026 they were no longer breathless with clear lungs, though unsure they were fully over it.
