I'm wondering 🤔

It's my understanding that current medical research indicates all the chronic illnesses listed below (and there are more I simply don't know about) are triggered by a viral infection. They all have similar clusters of symptoms. Why are they being considered a separate illnesses/syndromes?

I think I need to understand more about viruses and our symbiotic relationships with them. I just found my copy of Lynn Margulis' "Acquiring Genomes: A Theory of the Origins of Species". I think I'll start there.

It seems to me we're in the midst of a viral tidal wave.

Vijf artsen werden patiënt en vertellen wat dat met hen deed en hoe ze nu tegen hun vak aankijken.

Fantastische documentaire over de impact van het leven met een post-acuut infectieuze ziekte als ME, Long Covid, chronische lyme.

Diepe buiging voor Anil van der Zee, de vijf artsen en de mensen die hieraan verder meewerkten.
