Six years since the height of the pandemic, the scientific community remains baffled by long Covid. But there might finally be a way forward for long Covid treatment—if only you were allowed to talk about it.

Becca Kennedy, the former lead of a multistate long Covid specialty group for Kaiser Permanente, has a controversial theory. She believes long Covid belongs to a family of chronic conditions that occur when the brain gets stuck in a feedback loop of fight or flight. www.wired.com/story/the-pa...

The result is a cascade of symptoms she attributes to nervous system dysfunction. The solution, Kennedy argues, is retraining the brain to break the loop. www.wired.com/story/the-pa...

WIRED contributor Alan Levinovitz has spoken with a dozen formerly bedbound sufferers who credit brain retraining with partial or full recoveries from severe long Covid and other conditions. Hundreds more have shared testimonials about a range of similar approaches. www.wired.com/story/the-pa...

Right but what you seem to miss is, if we're going to believe patients, we must also believe the patients for whom these approaches haven't worked or have actually made them worse. If you want to believe patients you can't cherry pick patients to only support your preferred narrative.
