Replace "root causes" with "mitochondrial hits". #LongCovid #MECFS Write down categories: trauma, mold, pathogens, toxins, viruses, parasites. Note exposures. Tackling each one sequentially will lower your total disease burden and help increase baseline. RemissionBiome MECFS/LongCovid Patient-Led Science

@remissionbiome Yes. Remove obstacles to cure is essential to creating/establishing the conditions for healing to occur.

@remissionbiome very helpful! can a history of work stress, recent grief/depression, and irregular sleep patterns be mitochondrial hits?

@morgfair @remissionbiome Can you check mine. How do you do this. Tell your Dr to check your mitochondrial DNA?

@remissionbiome The mitochondrial rabbit hole starts long before one's birth. I went down to my great grandparents' env. exposures, hx of disease, wars & ended up with neural tube & neural crest defects, thrombophilia, autoimmune liver, mito risk issues.

@remissionbiome "mitochondrial hits" are miRNA-mediated via energy-dependent fixation of amino acid substitutions in microtubules across kingdoms. For examples, see: (for ages 14+)

@RemissBiomeVids @remissionbiome Seems like a very logical approach. Thanks for the vid as always

@remissionbiome Yes. Thank you! The “root cause” model gets frustrating—there are lots of factors at play, and they all feed off each other.

@remissionbiome thanks for listing this. i should have invited everyone to write down what they think their main 'mitochondrial hits' have been.
