#3: The Power of a Positive Mindset for Coping with ME/CFS - Interview with Sarah Warde

#7 - The Man Trying to Cure ME/CFS & Long Covid - Prof. Klaus Wirth Interview

In this interview, I talk to Prof Klaus With, the man trying to create the world's first approved medication for ME/CFS & Long Covid (Mitodicure [http://www.mitodicure.com]). 🧠 This 45-minute deep dive explores the groundbreaking research that led to the current development efforts of Mitodicure and Prof. Wirth’s unifying model of ME/CFS — created in collaboration with Prof. Carmen Scheibenbogen. We cover: 🔹 How Mitodicure is designed to heal the illness and not just suppress symptoms 🔹 Why it could significantly raise the PEM/crash threshold, improving quality of life but also allowing much deeper healing to occur (as PEM heightens and intensifies the illness) 🔹 What a patient might actually feel when taking the drug 🔹 Why drug-development-style research is vital to accelerate our understanding of ME/CFS pathophysiology 🔹 How the mystery of low blood volume in ME/CFS can be explained 🔹 How the Wirth and Scheibenbogen model accounts for muscle fibre necrosis during PEM This may be one of the most hopeful developments the ME/CFS and Long Covid communities have seen in years. 🙏 Please watch, share widely, and help raise awareness. The more visibility Mitodicure receives, the greater the chance of attracting investors for clinical trials — and, potentially, the possible breakthrough millions have been waiting for.

Fleury Simons was severely ill with Long Covid for nearly three years — and is now fully recovered. In this interview, she shares the treatments and strategies that changed her life. After struggling with debilitating symptoms and little hope of improvement, Fleury travelled to the Aviv Clinics in Florida, where she completed 60 sessions of medical-grade hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT).
