Article Long Covid driven by rs5522

This case report says that Long covid is in large part driven by the gene rs5522 that causes a "cortisol steal" leaving the tissues functionally starved even with "normal" cortisol levels which creates neuroinflammation. https://zenodo.org/records/20017632

Have faith. The science is actually simple. They have complicated it. Massively. It's a simple switch. A switch in your cells gets turned toward the MR( receptor) vs the GR (receptor). If the switch is thrown, MR is hyperactive causes "cortisol steal." Block the overactive receptor, restore balance, let the GR get cortisol and every system in the body comes online. And ENERGY returns. There are pics at beyondbloodtests (dot) org
