A new investigative report out Tuesday found that long-standing COVID-19 patients are traveling overseas to try expensive and untested treatments for their symptoms, including screening their blood. But at least some experts are concerned about the trend, warning that this treatment lacks solid evidence to support its claimed benefits. The report is a collaboration between The BMJ and ITV News. The authors visited or interviewed patients who went to clinics in Cyprus, Germany and Switzerland hoping to find relief for lingering post-covid symptoms. These symptoms tend to include, but are not limited to, persistent fatigue, breathing problems, and cognitive dysfunction, or brain fog. The main treatment offered by this clinic is called apheresis. The patient’s blood is drawn, which is then “washed” and broken down into its different components of plasma and red blood cells. The blood is then recombined and finally given back to the patient via a different vein. The ...

DALLAS, July 11, 2022 — Blood pressure levels fell significantly among Chinese adults with high blood pressure who ate heart-healthy, low-sodium traditional Chinese cuisine for four weeks, according to new research published today in the main journal of the American Heart Association.

It also increases protein, carbohydrates, and potassium,” said first author and co-chair of the study team Yanfang Wang, Ph.D., a nutritionist and research professor at Peking University Clinic...

Moshfegh’s 2015 debut novel, Eileen, shortlisted for the Booker Prize, centers around a self-loathing petty criminal. In his famous book in 2019 My Year of Rest and Relaxation we become unfortunate observers of the interior life of a lazy misanthrope locked in a year-long drug-induced seclusion. In Moshfegh’s latest novel, Lapvana, The author trades his distinctive first-person voice to introduce the ranks of suburban residents living in a post-epidemic medieval village of Lapvona, where life is hard, and life is cheap. This proved a ripe setting for Moshfegh to happily indulge his appreciation for the odd; just don’t expect him to conform to historical accuracy. Ottessa Moshfegh’s latest novel pushes the b...
