  • Panel Discussion: Botanical and other Therapies for Long COVID

Panelists: Dee Atkinson, FNIMH, Paul Bergner, Medical Herbalist, Kenneth Proefrock, NMD and David Winston, RH (AHG) The panel begins with a presentation by Dee Atkinson, an herbalist and fellow of the National Institute of Medical Herbalists, and her experiences treating long COVID in her clinic in Edinburgh. The interesting similarities between CFS, Epstein-Barr and long COVID are mentioned, and the discussion is based on these observations. Paul Bergner describes the foundational dietary and nutritional factors which can underlie the many possible symptoms of long covid and other “long” chronic diseases. He evaluates nutrient and lifestyle deficiencies in each patient which are associated with common, very specific symptoms of long COVID and other chronic conditions. He explains how herbal therapeutics alone are unlikely to produce a strong recovery if these dietary and lifestyle imbalances are still present. Kenneth Proefrock addresses the medications given for acute COVID and their long-term effects, and whether any of these drugs may be useful in the treatment of long COVID. And finally, David Winston described the syndrome of “medium COVID” in which patients develop serious cardiovascular and other symptoms about 6 months after recovery. The panel will then be opened to questions from the online audience.
