Summary
He caught COVID in December 2019 aged 45 and was severely ill for 12 months with anxiety, panic attacks, muscle twitching and loss, palpitations and vision problems. He credits vitamins, minerals, herbs and diet for fixing him, reaching 60-75% recovered. Stress caused flares, and by 2026 he was still 'messed up' while holding a stressful job, with fasting, exercise and later TTFD, magnesium and potassium helping.
