#63>Now that we're in 2023, and pretty much everyone is either multiply-vaccinated or has had COVID I'm a facilitator for a men's mental health talking group in my county. Sample size is small and not indicative, but there are a few people who are anti-vaccination, have continued to eschew popular science in favour of their trusted researchers, and are now assigning blame to almost any other person's illnesses as caused…

The downvotes could be because your comment doesn’t add to the discussion but rather seems to be needlessly stoking some flames…

#65I wonder if other AMPK activators such as Berberine and Jiaogulan have the same effect.

I think you're misinterpreting it. The full quote: > Long Covid is looking less like a cloudy mass of speculation and shoulder-shrugging, and more like a problem that medical science can start to unravel, using the tools we already have: > When a disease is too poorly defined, it follows that it is almost impossible to modify either the incidence of that disease or the distribution of its outcomes—that is, unless the…
You’re not paying attention if you think this is the first evidence of long covid. There’s been significant strides towards understanding long covid in terms of microclots and viral persistence. https://cardiab.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12933-02... For this pathology long covid can be treated with so called triple therapy for instance https://medhelpclinics.com/uploads/files/anticoagulant-tripl...
Incidentally, my bet is that many other viruses and bacteria have similar post acute symptoms. I wonder if these can also be measured and treated, perhaps even with metformin. I wonder how much of metformin's magical anti aging capabilities are actually due to fighting off latent infections.

#69I take it daily. There were mild GI side effects and weight loss at first, but my body adjusted and now it is BAU.
Haven't changed my lifestyle, can't know if it has made me more healthful. I still get colds and flu maybe once every other year.
Had a vaccine injury scare after the second jab. My health has been down since, can't know if Metformin is helping or hurting that situation - hopefully in the background helping me heal.

TL; DR Do not take if you're trying to impregnate someone. (Is that the right term? Get pregnant?)
"impregnate" is not wrong per-se, but it is weird in placing the emphasis on only one of the two people required. Usually you'd say something like "trying for a child", I believe.
