EP71: What Spike Proteins Reveal About Long COVID and ME/CFS

Why are some people still sick long after COVID clears?

Dr. Nancy Klimas, immunologist and Director of the Institute for Neuro-Immune Medicine, joins Haylie Pomroy to explain how persistent spike protein may be the missing link behind long COVID.

They explore how this protein triggers immune dysfunction, brain fog, fatigue, and symptoms nearly identical to ME/CFS. Dr. Klimas shares what separates those who recover from those who don't, and the emerging clinical trials that may offer real answers.
