I found this study extremely interesting, especially considering what some of my recent experience has been with my own cognition.
Simply, it's been noticed that long covid is stored in the gut in what is known as a viral reservoir. Interferons are released by the body to fight the intruder which increases inflammation. This inflammation prevents tryptophan from being absorbed into the gut. When tryptophan is prevented from absorption, serotonin becomes depleted which disrupts the vagus nerve. This depletion also impacts memory, focus, sleep, digestion, among other functions.
Is this a contributing reason to why I felt so different after the equinox heart-opening ceremony? I did a fair amount of phenethylamines; MDA, MDMA, 2-CB.
Could certain phenethylamines be helpful in treating some of the effects of long covid?
Would some supplement like 5-HTP be helpful?
I have more 2-CB... and maybe I'll explore 5-HTP again.
One love
