CSF Leaks: Hidden Risk Factor for Long Covid

THEORY: I think underlying neurological problems not only increase a person’s chances of getting Covid but increases the chances that they will develop LongCovid. I also think undetected #CSF leaks are the #1 neurological problem that is causing people to develop #LC.

I went through the CDC article linked below…

SOURCE:https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/hcp/clinical-care/underlyingconditions.html#anchor_1616962505764

The CDC made a Summary of Conditions (that create a higher risk of getting Covid) with Evidence

“Evidence used to inform the list of underlying medical conditions that increase a person’s risk of severe illness from COVID-19 is presented in alphabetical order by study design section. Conditions are categorized as higher risk, suggestive higher risk, and mixed evidence.”

Higher Risk Conditions(conclusive)

Higher risk is defined as an underlying medical condition or risk factor that has a published meta-analysis or systematic review or underwent the CDC systematic review process. The meta-analysis or systematic review demonstrates a conclusive increase in risk for at least one severe COVID-19 outcome.

LIST A

Asthma

Cancer

Cerebrovascular disease

Chronic Kidney Disease 

Chronic Liver Disease-Cirrohosis

Cystic Fibrosis 

Dementia

Diabetes 1&2

Down Syndrome

Heart conditions

HIV

Mental health illness/mood disorders/schizophrenia

Obesity

Organ Transplant

Physical Inactivity

Pregnancy

Primary Immunodeficiencies

Smoking

Stem Cell transplant

Steroids or other immunosuppressive drugs

Tuberculosis

 Here’s a list of more disabilities that increase a person’s risk of getting Covid.

 (EPIPOLE’S NOTE: These were hidden in a pull down menu (next to the CDCs section about Down Syndrome) in  the CDC article.  So, people that read the article may not even know there are many neurological or partially neurological conditions that increase people’s chances of getting Covid which also increases the chances of getting Long Covid. I’m going to list them here, and I marked all of the disorders that  are neurological or partially neurological in nature.

  •  Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)(N) neurodevelopmental disorder
  • Autism (N) neurobehavioral disorder

If you already have one of the above neurological issues, then you have a higher risk of getting Covid. If the neurological problems are not resolved, then your body will have more trouble healing itself which I think allows Covid to linger and become Long Covid.  I think the neurological conditions (in LIST B) increase a person’s chances of both getting Covid as well as  developing Long Covid.

Q:You know what condition the CDC didn’t list at all???

A:CSF LEAKS.

Really CDC? This doesn’t make sense. Why wouldn’t the CDC list CSF leaks as a high risk condition?  Are they trying to hide the fact that CSF leaks can increase a person’s risk of getting Covid & long Covid?

I actually think CSF leaks are responsible for many neurological problems & mystery illnesses, such as migraines POTS & LongCovid.  A CSF leak is a leak in your CNS (central nervous system). The CNS runs the immune system. When your nervous system is compromised, your immune system is compromised.  Then, I think the immune system is unable to heal the body completely after a Covid infection, causing Covid to linger which turns into Long Covid.

For example, CSF leaks can cause dementia and dementia puts you at a higher risk for getting Covid. So, can’t you also say CSF leaks put you at higher risk for developing LC? Yes, I think you can. So, why wouldn’t the CDC list CSF leaks as a serious risk? Do they not want the public to know CSF leaks cause LONG COVID?

Several of these conditions from LIST A & LIST B can be caused by CSF leaks. The good news is this…If your long covid is being caused by a CSF leak, then finding your CSF leak and sealing it will help alleviate your symptoms. And, I think-possibly- it may make some people strong enough to fight off LongCovid for good.

So, why weren’t CSF leaks listed in this CDC article? Maybe Big Pharma is worried that if the public realizes that getting Covid while you have a CSF leak leads to LongCovid. And, maybe, BigPharma is worried that many women will realize that they have a CSF leak that they got during childbirth or during a Covid nasal swab, and no one ever told them about it.

THEORY: LONG COVID=EBV+ CSF leak+ Covid

If you Google “Big Pharma” lawsuits, it will show you evidence of a pattern. Big pharma & doctors have systematically lied to the public about the efficacy & safety of their drugs and procedures, in order to make money. My point is even though doctors are fiduciaries, they can no longer be trusted. In the future, I think humans will have to boycott chemicals and find natural solutions, but most people have no other option than western medicine, at this time in America.

If you have Long Covid, see a neurologist and get checked for a CSF leak ASAP! You can have a cranial and/or a spinal CSF leak, get checked for both kinds. If you do have a CSF leak that a medical team can seal, your health could improve dramatically. That’s the good news! Took me awhile to get there.
