This story is a preamble to the story I am writing about “long COVID.” The point is to illustrate the peculiar state of modern medicine where—yes, surgeries are exceptionally advanced, and they do save lives—but when it comes to the actual understanding of how the body works, the presentation is all-confident but mysteries are abound. The causes of modern diseases are often “unknown” or “not understood,” which of course is particularly true when understanding them in earnest would displease the medical mob. But the tone of the voice is confident, and there are so many products to sell!
When I started digging into the mystery of “COVID” and “long COVID” as a very curious lay person, I had the advantage of not being distracted or limited by the things that “all doctors know to be self-evident.” So I looked with an open mind. And in the process, I realized yet again just how “hypothetical” the entire “official” medicine is. Very often, the doctors have very little idea why their patients are sick with this thing or another—but none the less, they say fancy words and assign one of the fancy syndromes from their book of syndromes, and the fancy syndromes sound impressive just because the words are printed in books and have been uttered out loud too many times to be "wrong.”
(It is kind of like the argument about conspiracy theories: if they were true and the things were not what they seemed, then someone would have surely found out—but no, that “somebody” can’t be you.)
I have written before about the extensive connection between the mysterious neurological issues, dementia, autism, etc.—and various unseemly bugs throwing undercover bug parties on the inside. Personally, I am of the opinion that CNS infections could be a major cause of those things.
But the general mystery of official medicine doesn’t end in the neurological sphere. Let us take, for example, asthma. As a hopeful lay person, I was originally under the impression that because this is such a common disease, doctors surely have a clue. But no! Asthma is on the list of diseases whose cause is “unknown.”
Asthma
Health experts have not identified a specific cause of asthma. Instead, researchers believe it’s caused by a variety of factors.
Genetics: If your parent or sibling has asthma, you’re more likely to develop it.
History of viral infections: People with a history of severe viral infections during childhood, such as respiratory syncytial virus infection (RSV), may be more likely to develop asthma.
Hygiene hypothesis: When babies are not exposed to enough bacteria in their early months and years, their immune systems may not become strong enough to fight off asthma and other allergic conditions.
By the way, there seems to be a connection between “asthma” and mold exposure but the formal talk around it tends to be hypothetical—again—and goes as far as mycotoxins and allergic reactions, not so much infections. And it makes all the sense in the world that breathing in mycotoxins is bad. It is also bad to eat ‘em as citric acid, a common food additive cheaply made from a pathogenic mold (here’s an article I wrote about it earlier). But mycotoxins are not the only things that are being breathed in, it’s also the spores whose entire purpose is to grow! (On the practical note, some essential oils, like thyme and pine, can kill them in the air.)
Here are some more examples where the doctors “don’t know”:
Autoimmune conditions
Doctors don’t know exactly what causes the immune system to misfire. Yet some people are more likely to get an autoimmune disease than others.
Diabetes
Type 1 diabetes
Doctors don’t know exactly what causes type 1 diabetes. For some reason, the immune system mistakenly attacks and destroys insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreas.
Type 1.5 diabetes
Type 1.5 is an autoimmune condition that occurs when the pancreas is attacked by your own antibodies. as in type 1. It may be genetic, but more research is needed.
Autism
The exact cause of ASD is unknown. The most current research demonstrates there’s no single cause. Some suspected risk factors for ASD include:
having an immediate family member who’s autistic
certain genetic mutations
fragile X syndrome and other genetic disorders
being born to older parents
low birth weight
metabolic imbalances
exposure to heavy metals and environmental toxins
a maternal history of viral infections
fetal exposure to the medications valproic acid or thalidomide (Thalomid)
On a side note, phew. There is one thing that the doctors know about the ailments whose cause they don’t know. They are absolutely positive that no matter what causes them, it is not the vaccines, not even the ones that are manufactured with moldy ingredients or whose ingredients are uhm, unknown.
Oh, and about that Alzheimer’s. I am still amazed how after a gazillion dollars in funding, it was shown that the top “seminal” work on Alzheimer’s—on which said funding was mostly based—and been forged.
But look, puppy! PUPPY!! OVER THERE! Moving on…

Mitochondria are damaged
You are not just one body
Nor a bundle of organs
But trillions of cells
And each cell needs energy
It's the reason we eat and breathe
To get oxygen and glucose
To fuel our cells
And mitochondria are what make this happen
Mitochondria have DNA, their own DNA and it can be damaged by spike protein
And other toxins, stressors
When mitochondria hurt
Cells don't work
Tissues don't function
Organs malfunction
And you die
Mitochondria are the reason why
And good luck finding a cure
Because we may as well be looking for the fountain of eternal youth
We can however slow down the damage
But it isn't by taking another possible poison
It requires discipline
Of both body and nutrition
Habits - stress - sleep - movement
It requires learning
And trial and error
There is no quick fix to this terror
It's slow and steady wins the race
Or burn out and fall on your face
Trust me I know
I've had chronic fatigue syndrome since ages ago
It's a real pain in the ass
I was blessed with an MD father, who was a skeptic of big pharma, even then, in the 50ś and 60's, as were some of his colleagues, and I had a highschool chemistry teacher who would say about doctors: When you come in with anything they just put a name on it and prescribe some chemical that they don't even know what it does, and if you don't come back, they assume it works.
