Moving beyond the big picture, many Long Haul COVID patients feel the need for a deep breath but cannot ever quite get what they need. Obviously, a viral disease which infects the lung has the potential for leaving behind some lung damage. COVID, however, could be considered an overachiever in its leftover damage compared to…
Life Preservers Our fallen world offers many opportunities for trouble. We have more than a full time job avoiding the pitfalls and potholes. We need one greater than us to act as our deliverer. Living in righteousness before our Maker brings that needed deliverance whereas living in wickedness means one will walk directly into these…
In real estate, its all about location, but for Long Hauler COVID, its all about the symptoms and then the time course. In the previous edition of this Long Hauler Summer Series, we discussed how medicine must identify the correct target in order to hit that target and hope for resolution of the disease or…
