The proposed Canadian guidelines for treating Long COVID pose harm to patients and risk psychologizing the disease.

Researchers involved in the organizations Cochrane Canada and the McMaster GRADE Centre at McMaster University are developing guidelines to prevent and treat Long COVID in Canada. Their effort is supported by the Public Health Agency of Canada and their recommendations would likely have major sway in the way Long COVID is treated if adopted.

Every month, they release new recommendations and provide an opportunity for public comment. On November 20th, the group released a new set of Canadian Post-COVID Condition (CAN-PCC) recommendations which propose harmful and ineffective treatments: Exercise to prevent Long COVID and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to treat post-exertional malaise (PEM).

The recommendations are made on the basis of what CAN-PCC describes as “very low certainty” evidence and disregard the lived experience of patients living with Long COVID and similar conditions like myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME/CFS).

Several patient advocates and groups have mobilized in response. Adriana Patino, who leads Long COVID Canada said that group members were shocked and angered by the recommendations who are losing trust in the guidelines as the authors “are not following the most recent research nor listening to the patients' voices.”

Many don’t want to comment on the recommendations any longer because they feel they aren’t being listened to in the first place.

“Why are they asking for us to review these recommendations when it doesn't seem like they're listening?” Susie Goulding, a Canadian with Long COVID and CEO of the newly formed Long COVID Society told me over the phone.

I asked experts to take a look at the recommendations as well.

“The first thing that strikes me about the recommendations is that they are opposed to current clinical guidelines in Long Covid and ME/CFS,” said Todd Davenport, professor of the physical therapy program at the University of the Pacific. He added the recommendations are too strong given the low level of evidence underpinning them.

Davenport explained that most policymakers and doctors are unlikely to read through the weak underlying evidence and take the recommendations at face value.

“I'm honestly just so flabbergasted,” Jessica DeMars, physiotherapist and owner of BreatheWell Physio told me. “It feels a lot like they decided beforehand what they were going to recommend and then somehow managed to manipulate the study findings ever so slightly, giving themselves an inch to take the mile.”

I took a deep dive into the recommendations and put together insights from patient advocates and experts about the potential harm they pose to people with Long COVID.

The guidelines are open for public comment until November 27th at 11:45 P.M. The group in charge of developing these guidelines may update the recommendations in response to the comments.

Summary Recommendation #1 to research the keto diet is based on incomplete data presented at one scientific conference. It hasn’t been peer-reviewed or published in any journals.

Experts say that Recommendation #2 which suggests exercise to prevent Long COVID is not supported by the evidence, and could actually increase the chances of developing Long COVID.

Recommendation #3 recommends against chest X-rays for Long COVID patients who weren’t hospitalized. This contradicts guidelines in The Lancet and evidence showing lung problems can be spotted using chest imaging.

Recommendation #5 risks further stigmatizing and psychologizing Long COVID.

Recommendation #8 which suggests the use of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to treat post-exertional malaise is made on the basis of weak evidence, contradicts existing clinical guidelines for ME, and poses direct harm to patients.

Recommendation #1: Research the Keto Diet for Prevention The first recommendation, which is meant to guide researchers who are studying Long COVID, is made on the basis of a research conference abstract.

A conference abstract is a poster or talk that is presented at a scientific meeting but importantly the data that’s presented has not yet passed scientific peer-review and has not been published in a scientific journal. The recommendations is based off of the incomplete information from the abstract.

“The conference abstract did not provide information on when and how long to start the ketogenic diet,” CAN-PCC writes.

It isn’t clear why this one unpublished study was picked as the basis of a research recommendation. Ketogenic diets are very restrictive, expensive, and many people even in a research setting give up on them making it unlikely that research into the ketogenic diet would translate into real world benefits.

Recommendation #2: Exercise to Prevent Long COVID The CAN-PCC makes this recommendation on what they admit is “very low certainty” evidence. The researchers developing the guidelines compiled the evidence from clinical trials that tested exercise in people with COVID-19. But none of the studies measured whether participants developed Long COVID.

DeMars and Davenport don’t think the evidence the researchers compiled supports their recommendation.

Davenport explained that exercising during an acute COVID-19 infection is dangerous. Exercise while you’re sick can worsen myocarditis, inflammation of the heart muscles caused by SARS-CoV-2, and increase the risk of a blood clot. Exercise around others “is also an efficient way to spread COVID-19,” he added.

Many people develop post-exertional malaise (PEM) as a result of exercise. PEM is a common symptom of Long COVID and ME/CFS that leads to an energy crash after minimal physical or mental exertion.

“There is a very real risk that we actually increase the number of individuals with Long COVID by asking people to exercise too soon,” said DeMars.

Many people with Long COVID experience their first crash by exerting themselves too soon after an initial infection, leading to worsening symptoms.

“There's also several thousands testimonials from patients who were previously very active and/or athletes who tried to remain active during or shortly after their Covid infection and now they have organ damage and/or developed PEM and/or increased the severity of their symptoms,” Patino said.

None of the studies the researchers used to make this recommendation measured PEM.

The recommendation comes with a note that says that for individuals with post-exertional malaise “exercise or rest recommendations should be made under the supervision and guidance of a health care professional.”

This statement may imply that the CAN-PCC authors believe that exercise may be effective for treating PEM, though it is neither safe nor effective. At the time of publication, the team developing these guidelines has not responded to a request for clarification.

Recommendation #3: No X-Rays CAN-PCC advises against ordering chest X-rays for people with Long COVID unless they were hospitalized due to their initial infection, based on a “very low certainty” or evidence. They make this recommendation because there is no evidence of doctors using X-rays as a diagnostic test.

Even though a chest X-ray won’t definitively diagnose Long COVID, it provides important clues about a person’s symptoms. Many people with Long COVID develop persistent respiratory issues that affect their quality of life. Researchers have spotted respiratory issues using CT scans in people with Long COVID who weren’t initially hospitalized. CT scans are a medical imaging tool powered by X-rays.

A recent set of clinical guidelines published in The Lancet also recommends a chest X-ray for people with Long COVID who are feeling breathless after exercise. Spotting the problem allows doctors to refer patients to the right specialist for treatment.

Recommendation #5: Using Quality of Life Questionnaires The recommendation suggests using psychological tests to assess Long COVID patients based on a “very low certainty” of evidence.

In his blog, Brian Hughes, psychologist and professor at Galway University wrote:" “For persons of all genders, anything that reinforces a stereotype of Long COVID as a psychological state risks deflecting patients onto an irrelevant (e.g. psychiatric) treatment pathway and away from appropriate medical care.”

He also raised concerns that doctors will use these psychometric measures more often in in women, who are more likely to develop Long COVID and less likely to be believed by doctors.

The right questionnaires could be helpful though. Better measures like the DePaul Symptom Questionnaire take stock of fatigue and PEM.

Recommendation #8: CBT for Post-Exertional Malaise (PEM) CBT is a form of therapy that helps people work to change their beliefs. While it can be effective for mental health, there is no evidence that it works for chronic illness or PEM.

As with the other CAN-PCC guidelines, the authors made this recommendation based on “very low certainty” evidence.

Since studies have found that many people with Long COVID develop ME/CFS, another post-viral condition that causes PEM, the guideline’s authors took a look at the evidence of using CBT for people with ME/CFS.

“I can't even believe we are going there,” DeMars said. “Yes people are dealing with newfound mental health issues - primarily due to having to deal with new onset chronic illness and disability, but learning to "think positively" is not going to make their health issues go away.”

Davenport added that the studies the researchers used to arrive at this recommendation didn’t require PEM for diagnosis or use objective measures in the study.

The recommendation also ignores what leading ME experts and patients already know: CBT doesn’t work for ME. The CAN-PCC team failed to engage with any research that exposed methodological flaws in major studies that have assessed CBT as a treatment for ME. The UK’s national health insurer, NICE, advises against the use of CBT for ME.

“By making a suggestion that CBT will somehow improve recovery, [CAN-PCC] pushes the idea that LC is psychosomatic - and blatantly ignores the plethora of data that shows otherwise,” DeMars said.

There is mounting evidence that PEM has a biochemical basis. A viral infection that leads to the development of post-exertional malaise may disrupt the healthy function of mitochondria, which turn nutrients into energy. People with post-exertional malaise also show a build up of lactic acid in the blood which is associated with the severity of symptoms.

“An illness is not going to be cured by thinking happy thoughts,” Goulding said.

These recommendations repeat the same mistakes researchers made with ME. The condition was stigmatized by doctors who pinned it on women being hysterical in the 1980s, shutting down any research into the underlying causes and making it one of the most stigmatized and misunderstood diseases. Even today, many doctors still don’t understand ME and assume that patients aren’t trying hard enough to get moving and improve.

“Recommendation #8 is simply making all the same mistakes in Long Covid that we have made historically in ME/CFS,” Davenport added.

We Can Do Better Experts and patients are equally frustrated that the guidelines are ignoring existing research and clinical guidelines.

“I think I’m just incredibly disappointed that we seem to be repeating the same mistakes every time a new group of individuals are left chronically ill after an infection,” Sabrina Poirier, a patient advocate and co-founder the ICanCME Research Network told me.

I reached out to the committee developing these recommendations for comment but have not heard back at the time of publication.

“Exercise and CBT are just not appropriate treatments to be pushed and we’ve known that for so long now,” Poirier said. “Why is it that community knowledge and wisdom are still so undervalued in science? Why is the research we have on this topic ignored or explained away?”

Brownsville, Texas — Federal officials say more than 200 patients could be at risk of fungal meningitis after having surgical procedures at clinics in a Mexico border city.

The federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Wednesday it is collaborating with the Mexican Ministry of Health and U.S. state and local health departments to respond to the outbreak among patients who traveled to Matamoros, across the border from Brownsville, Texas.

Officials have identified and closed two clinics linked to the outbreak, River Side Surgical Center and Clinica K-3.

The Mexican Ministry of Health sent the CDC a list of 221 U.S. patients who might be at risk for meningitis based on their recorded surgical procedures at either clinic from January to May 13. Three additional patients not on the list have also been identified, bringing the total of people in the United States known to have potential exposure to 224, the CDC said.

The CDC is working with more than two dozen state and local health departments to contact people with potential exposure and urge them to go to their nearest medical facility for testing. Meningitis testing includes an MRI and a lumbar puncture, also called a spinal tap.

Last week, the CDC issued a warning to U.S. residents to cancel surgeries in Matamoros, saying five people from Texas who had procedures there developed suspected cases of fungal meningitis. One of them died. A second person with a suspected case has also died, the CDC said Wednesday.

Meningitis is the swelling of the protective covering of the brain and spinal cord and should be treated urgently. Symptoms include fever, headache, a stiff neck, nausea, vomiting, confusion and sensitivity to light. Cases of meningitis can be caused by viruses, bacteria, trauma or fungi.

Patients in the Texas cases started showing symptoms three days to six weeks after surgery in Matamoros.

People leaving the U.S. for prescription drugs, dental procedures, surgeries and other medical treatment - also known as medical tourism - is common, experts say. Mexico, Canada, India and Thailand are all popular destinations.

Herbal Anti-Hangover Capsules

Hangovers are an unpleasant side effect of alcohol consumption, characterized by symptoms such as headaches, nausea, fatigue, and dehydration. While many over-the-counter remedies are available, the natural and holistic approach offered by herbal anti-hangover capsules is gaining significant attention. These capsules are designed to alleviate hangover symptoms effectively, using the power of plant-based ingredients to detoxify the body, rehydrate, and restore balance.

In this article, we’ll explore the causes of hangovers, the science behind herbal remedies, and why herbal anti-hangover capsules are becoming a popular choice for recovery.

Understanding Hangovers

Hangovers occur due to several physiological effects of alcohol on the body, including:

Dehydration: Alcohol is a diuretic, leading to increased urination and subsequent dehydration.

Toxin Buildup: The liver metabolizes alcohol into acetaldehyde, a toxic compound that contributes to hangover symptoms.

Nutrient Depletion: Alcohol consumption depletes essential vitamins and minerals, such as vitamin B, zinc, and magnesium.

Sleep Disruption: Although alcohol may initially induce drowsiness, it disrupts REM sleep, resulting in poor-quality rest.

Understanding these factors highlights the need for a holistic solution that targets the root causes of hangovers.

Why Choose Herbal Anti-Hangover Capsules?

Herbal anti-hangover capsules offer several advantages over traditional remedies:

Natural IngredientsUnlike chemical-based solutions, herbal capsules are made from plant extracts, which are gentle on the stomach and liver. Common ingredients include:

Milk Thistle: Known for its liver-detoxifying properties.

Ginger: Reduces nausea and soothes the digestive system.

Turmeric: Contains curcumin, which combats inflammation and oxidative stress.

Amla (Indian Gooseberry): Rich in vitamin C, it boosts immunity and detoxifies the body.

Ashwagandha: An adaptogen that helps reduce fatigue and stress.

Comprehensive ReliefHerbal capsules are formulated to address multiple symptoms simultaneously, offering relief from headaches, fatigue, and nausea while supporting the liver and replenishing lost nutrients.

No Side EffectsBeing plant-based, these capsules are generally free of side effects, making them a safer option for long-term use.

How Herbal Capsules Work on Hangovers

The effectiveness of herbal anti-hangover capsules lies in their synergistic approach:

Detoxification: Ingredients like milk thistle and turmeric assist the liver in breaking down and eliminating toxins, including acetaldehyde.

Rehydration: Many formulations include electrolytes or herbs that encourage fluid retention and rehydration.

Antioxidant Action: Herbs like amla and turmeric neutralize free radicals produced during alcohol metabolism, reducing cellular damage.

Energy Restoration: Ingredients such as ashwagandha and ginger rejuvenate the body, combating fatigue and lethargy.

Key Benefits of Herbal Anti-Hangover Capsules

ConvenienceThese capsules are easy to carry and consume, making them ideal for those on the go.

Preventive ActionTaking the capsules before or during alcohol consumption can reduce the severity of hangover symptoms by preparing the body for detoxification.

Improved Liver HealthRegular use of herbal capsules not only helps with hangovers but also promotes overall liver health, which is crucial for detoxification and metabolism.

Holistic WellnessBeyond hangover relief, the adaptogenic and antioxidant properties of the herbs contribute to overall physical and mental well-being.

How to Choose the Right Herbal Anti-Hangover Capsule

When selecting a herbal anti-hangover capsule, consider the following:

Ingredient Transparency: Look for products with a clear list of ingredients and their benefits.

Quality Assurance: Ensure the product is manufactured in a certified facility following Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP).

Clinical Backing: Opt for products with research or clinical studies supporting their efficacy.

Scientific Evidence Supporting Herbal Remedies

Several studies have highlighted the efficacy of herbal ingredients in managing hangover symptoms:

Milk Thistle: Research has shown that silymarin, the active compound in milk thistle, protects the liver from toxins and promotes regeneration of liver cells.

Ginger: A study published in the Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine found that ginger reduces nausea and improves digestion.

Turmeric: Curcumin, found in turmeric, has been proven to reduce inflammation and oxidative stress, as documented in the Journal of Ethnopharmacology.

These findings provide a strong scientific basis for the use of herbal capsules as a hangover remedy.

BOTTOM LINE

A Natural Solution for a Common Problem

Herbal anti-hangover capsules represent a safe, effective, and natural way to recover from the effects of alcohol consumption. With their detoxifying, rehydrating, and revitalizing properties, these capsules address the root causes of hangovers while promoting overall health. Whether you’re a social drinker or someone who occasionally overindulges, these capsules can be a valuable addition to your wellness routine.

For those looking to embrace natural remedies and enhance their well-being, SarabHerbs® offers high-quality herbal anti-hangover capsules crafted with the finest ingredients to ensure efficacy and safety. Choose nature, choose SarabHerbs®!
