Long Covid

Discover How The Gupta Program Can Support Your Recovery From Long Haul Covid

It's Not In Your Head. You Are Experiencing Real Physical Symptoms From A Real Physical Condition.

We Are Dedicated To Helping To Support The Unseen & Invisible Patients Of This Emerging Health Crisis

An Urgent Message From Chronic Illness Expert Ashok Gupta

Medical professionals, the media and society need to urgently take this seriously. We are in a devastating secondary pandemic of Long Haul Covid, even in patients who may have been formally classified in the "mild" category.

This syndrome clearly has a profound effect on the brain and the body. It clearly is offering certain post-viral symptoms in many people. These patients require urgent assistance as they are not receiving the care, medical attention or treatment that is needed. A path myself and my clinic are unfortunately all too familiar with in our expertise in treating other parallel conditions such as ME/CFS, Fibromyalgia and MCS.

Ashok Interviewed Today on Fox40 News

Ashok's Long-Hauler Interview on WBRE

Results From A Clinical Audit Of Our Long Covid Patients, Conducted By AB Research Consulting

  1. Before using the Gupta Program, just 13% of those suffering from long-haul COVID reported positive health and functioning. After using it, almost half (47%) reported positive health and functioning.
  1. Almost three-quarters (73%) of those with long-haul COVID reported at least some positive improvement in their health and functioning after using the Gupta Program.
  1. More than eight-in-ten (82%) say the Gupta Program is effective in reducing the symptoms of long-haul COVID.

4. Almost nine-in-ten (89%) respondents with long-haul COVID say they would recommend the Gupta program to someone else.

There Is Growing Evidence That ‘Long Haul’ COVID-19 Patients Are Developing Neuro-Immune Conditions Such As ME/CFS And Fibromyalgia

Throughout the pandemic, government policy, briefings and the media have overwhelmingly focused on patients in the severe category and those who are tragically passing away from the virus. However, there are many millions of people that have contracted the virus and unless their symptoms were classified as "serious", they are left to manage their debilitating and often frightening symptoms at home, often alone without a support network. Their suffering has become invisible.

The reality is that 10% of people are suffering from post-viral symptoms for at least three weeks and 5% can be debilitated for months.

-The Zoe Covid Symptom Study

Guidelines released by health organizations such as NHS, WHO and CDC state that "mild" COVID-19 symptoms typically resolve within 2 weeks, with more severe cases resolving in 6 weeks. However, emerging accounts from those who are classified in the so-called “mild” category are facing on-going debilitating post-viral symptoms, such as fatigue, brain fog, concentration problems and heightened emotions, for 3 or more weeks.

While some medical professionals are aware of this emerging news, others are not and as a result, patients are being disbelieved and dismissed. This leaves these Covid-19 sufferers vulnerable from a medical, social and employment perspective

Greater awareness is urgently needed as the number of cases continues to climb globally.

Sandrine's Long Haul Covid Success Story

Gupta Program Dandelion

Sandrine

I had the first symptoms of Covid on March 9, 2020. The first week I had a sore throat and a dry cough without fever.  After 7 days, I started to have very strong body aches as well as pain in my lungs and more difficult breathing, still without fever.  I then saw my doctor who diagnosed me with Covid… Normally the symptoms should have disappeared after the second week but they persisted and others appeared ...

...

Information found on the internet puts me on the trail of CFS… As I continue my research, I find links between CFS and neuroplasticity and I find a reference to the Gupta Program. 

...

I started amygdala training on July 15th.

July 15 to 31: I got out of bed and walked around my apartment.  I ate my meals at the table and spent more time sitting.

From July 31 to August 10: I tackled the ascent and descent of my stairs (4 floors) and I could walk 1 km in my neighborhood.

Disappearance of the violent post exertional malaise after efforts which drained me of all energy.  They are replaced by great fatigue but which still allows me to do my daily activities.

August 10 to today: I can walk 4 to 6 km.  I spend normal days like on vacation.  I avoid trying too hard and take breaks when I feel tired.  I feel like I'm starting to recover… 

...

The amygdala retraining technique was really the lever that changed everything and allowed my body to start recovery.  I am convinced of it.

Develop a Meditation Practise 

Meditation and other deep relaxation practises have been shown to moderate and lower the overactive immune system response by triggering the parasympathetic nervous system. In fact, in studies, it has been shown that meditation switches off about 30 or 40 genes that are involved in those immune responses.

At around 8 months into my long covid journey I was feeling quite stable and thought I was nearly better. I had even got a new job that I was looking forward to starting. Just before my first day at the new job, I had been trying to increase my physical activity but my legs decided they had had enough and they became extremely weak and painful and difficult to walk on. I was unable to do anything other than rest them for the majority of the day, only getting up when absolutely necessary. After a few days they were feeling a lot better and I started my new job as planned, this time commuting and going into an office base. Within a couple of days I was experiencing the same pain and weakness and difficulty walking and it became clear I was unable to continue. I even had to move back in with my parents again because it was too hard to manage on my own. Luckily I was able to be redeployed at work into a role where I could work from home on reduced hours again, but I was feeling really low and uncertain about my future by this point. I was now unable to go for walks at all because my legs became painful within a couple of minutes and I would experience post-exertional malaise for days after. My brain fog was also making a reappearance and I felt tired and breathless from physical activities such as going up stairs.

...

I continued pacing which helped with day to day tasks but walking for exercise remained unachievable due to the leg pains, and i felt in many ways I’d gone backwards. I did however gain the confidence to move back home again to show myself I could do that, though still needed help with the heavier household tasks as before. Not long after, I discovered the Gupta Programme. Someone in a long covid Facebook group had recommended it and I decided to sign up to the free trial and give it a go. Immediately the explanation of the theory of why conditions like this occurred resonated with me in terms of my own training as a health professional and my personal experiences of the illness. I really liked the inclusion of techniques such as meditation and self compassion and the understanding of the need for our nervous system to get that deep rest and relaxation; I was aware of these systems and certain techniques in part, but the programme put them all together in a way that immediately made sense to me.

...

Straightaway the meditations were making a positive difference to my energy levels, and within a couple of days of starting the programme I felt a difference in how I was feeling generally. I was doing more around the house and worrying less about my symptoms, so I decided to buy the full programme. After about 4 days I decided to test my ability to go for a walk now that I had the amygdala retraining technique in my toolbox, and though I felt anxious about my symptoms and how I might feel afterwards, I kept interrupting those thoughts with the ART and giving myself reassurance, and decided to enjoy the walk and fully engage with it instead. Within another few days it was clear to me that my fatigue as I had experienced it before was gone. I was amazed! And so happy. I was now able to go out for walks without worrying how far or how tiring they might be, the pain in my legs was gone and I no longer experienced any post exertional malaise. I was doing all the heavier household tasks I had been unable to do before, and no longer had to pace myself. I felt calm and content. I had freed up so much mental space and was now able to plan my future without worrying about whether I’d be up to it or not. All of this was unthinkable before starting the programme.

I have been using the Gupta Program for 7 months for Long Covid and have seen massive improvments in this time. I would highly reccommend it and I plan to continue using it until fully recovered and beyond. I have been impressed by the additional support available from the Facebook group ,it is a treasure trove of useful advice and a great platform for support and learning.

Melinda Grogan

I first contracted a mild case of Covid…

I first contracted a mild case of Covid in April 2020. Dealing with the Long Covid that followed was mystifying and lonely. I became 90% unable to function. I was beyond exhausted, had brain fog, anxiety, panic, memory problems, pain, trouble breathing or sleeping, was unable to exercise at all...and much, much more. I found the Gupta Program in September 2020 and it was explained to me, removing the mystery. I was with others around the world online each week who are dealing with Long Covid and similar chronic conditions. So much support and assurances were made available. Best of all, we were all given tools and practices, very holistic and scientific, and coaching to set us on our healing journey. I will keep registering for the Gupta follow up webinars for some time to come. This has given me hope, effective attitudes and practices, support, and gradual healing. I could go on and say more but, will just finish with...it works!

A Pilot Study Published in the Journal of Clinical Medicine

It is estimated that at least 2% to 5% of the population suffer from Fibromyalgia, a complex pain condition in some form, and until now there has been a lack of effective treatments. The novel Neuroplasticity program known as “Amygdala and Insula Retraining” was combined with Mindfulness to create 'MAIR', also known as the Gupta Program, and was tested for 8 weeks against a control group engaging in an equivalent amount of relaxation techniques.

The pilot study results found that after just an 8 week intervention, the MAIR group had significantly greater reductions in symptoms and pain, and increases in overall health, compared to the control group. These are the key results from the 8-week study:

Further Information On Our Clinic's Perspective On Chronic Post-Covid-19 Syndrome:

It Is A Common Misconception That People Are Passing From The Actual Virus Itself. In fact, It's Our Own Immune System Over-Responding To The Virus Which Is The Ultimate Cause

In the beginning, COVID-19 generally affects the nose. If our epithelial cells, our immune cells in our nose and the back of the nose, are able to defend against the virus, then it can be fought off then and there. If not, it travels down the back of our nasal cavity into our throat area. Once again, we have our immune system to fight it off at that location. However, if our immune system isn't strong enough and we don't manage to fight it off, it then continues into our lungs, and that's when people experience more severe illness.

virus-cells-floating-particles
immune-system-shield

Within the Gupta Program Amygdala and Insula hypothesis, our whole body- including our whole nervous system and brain - is designed for survival. So, when our bodies and our brains experience a threat, the number one priority is to defend against that virus or pathogen to ensure survival.

So when it starts invading the lungs, the immune system goes into this hyper response. It believes that, "Because I haven't been able to fight off this virus as it's transported down this respiratory tract, it's becoming more and more serious. Therefore, I need to unleash the best possible immune response that I can. I need to garner all the forces that I can to defend against it because my priority is ensuring survival."

The body enters into a cytokine storm, which is a severe immune reaction where an excessive amount of cytokines enter the bloodstream too rapidly. While cytokines play an important role in normal immune response, if they are released too rapidly it can be life-threatening.

As a result, the body develops pneumonia, which is a severe inflammation of the lungs. As a result, patients find it increasingly difficult to breathe. This is seen especially in more vulnerable types of patients that have a weakened immune system, people who are obese and those who smoke.

human-lung-damage

Research has shown that there may also be excessive inflammation in the other organs of the body including the kidneys and even the brain. It is at this point that the patients life is in danger.

If someone recovers from the acute phase of Covid-19, there are a percentage of patients who go on to experience chronic symptoms, even if they experienced a mild version of Covid-19:

The Typical Timeline of Observed Symptom Patterns

Even among the previously fit, healthy and often young

Severe Cases

asian-elderly-woman-patient-hospital

For those who develop a severe pattern of COVID-19, a typical symptom pattern is often observed. In the first two days, patients experience a cough, fever and anosmia. This then develops into severe respiratory symptoms that require hospitalization at approximately the one week mark.

Recovery from Covid-19 may take a number of weeks.

Cases That Have Been Typically Classified As "Mild"

woman-feeling-upset-because-loan-debt-letter

People who develop a milder case of COVID-19 are often experiencing a host of symptoms that come and go over an extended period of time. These patients are experiencing continued illness and are unable to return to work or their previous lives. Sufferers are reporting debilitating fatigue, brain fog, concentration problems, muscle weakness and pain, as well as vascular, cardiac and neurological symptoms.

Symptoms generally fall into 2 broad categories, whether previously severe or mild:

  1. Those who suffered from acute respiratory distress syndrome when the cytokine storm occurred and caused inflammation of the lungs. At some point in time, those particular responses may have caused some scarring in the lungs, or other parts of the body, which can then cause ongoing debilitating symptoms.
  2. Those who don't necessarily have any scarring in the lungs or any scarring in other parts of the body, but people are still experiencing post-viral symptoms

The Evolutionary Basis for Why Covid-19 May Become Chronic

 

Over millions of years of evolution, our bodies have evolved so we can survive in our environment. Our body’s number one priority is survival! And there are threats that we face that can compromise our survival, and these can be of many different types.

In biology it is called the sympathetic nervous system response. And the opposite of the stress or sympathetic system is called the parasympathetic nervous system, often mediated by the vagus nerve. This is when the body calms down and heals, rests, and repairs itself.

However in the event of COVID-19, even once the virus has been fought off, the immune system and nervous system may have become traumatized, still stuck in hyper-response mode because it still believes it is in danger.

The body creates a unique pattern of defense response. The nervous system and the immune system stay in a traumatized state, a conditioned state. Therefore any mild triggers, for instance, opportunistic infections in the body, related or unrelated anxious experiences that patient is going through or even the symptoms of an overstimulated immune system themselves, become triggers for their own own immune system to keep overspending, to keep still defending against potential pathogens, just in case.

And it is this hyper-responsive and hyper-primed state of the nervous system and immune system, that creates the on-going symptoms themselves. The immune system always errs on the side of caution. Because its first priority is survival, it prioritizes that over feeling healthy and strong.

CPCS May Be What We Term A Neuro-Immune Conditioned Syndrome (NICS)

We call this collective group of conditions such as ME/CFS, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Fibromyalgia, Post-Viral Fatigue and Associated Conditions, "Neuro-Immune Conditioned Syndromes” or “NICS”.

Neuro because they involve the nervous system and the brain
Immune because we have an over-triggering of the immune system
Conditioned because the brain learns to over-react in this way,
Syndrome because the resulting effect is a collection of symptoms that is unique to each person.

These defence responses are all over the body, but I believe that they start off in the brain.

You Have A Real Condition With Real Physical Symptoms, That May Be Caused By A Traumatic Event On The Brain as a Result of Covid-19

The Amygdala and Insula Hypothesis

The Amygdala & Insula Hypothesis a ‘vicious cycle’ that, once triggered by severe stressors in people with certain risk factors, can perpetuate neurological and immune over-stimulation, physiological dysfunction, and many physical symptoms.

These conditions are real physical illnesses in the body, and they are caused by the effects of a traumatic event on the brain. This causes the brain to go into an extreme survival mode. The brain becomes hypersensitive and hyper-reactive.

It is the brain which is over-triggering the sympathetic nervous system and the immune system. And this is due to something calledconditioning– It is when our brains learn to do something new, again and again as a protective response. In the brain, the conditioning may specifically occur in parts of the brain called the insula and the amygdala, as shown in animal studies.

insula-and-amygdala

The Reason Why Traditional Medicine Finds It Hard To Treat These Conditions...

Traditional Medicine

healthcare-medical-concept-stethoscope-blood-glucose-meter-sets

The reason why traditional medicine finds it hard to treat these conditions, is because traditional medicine separates these two branches of medicine. We have a separate immunology department, and a separate neurology department, and in fact a separate psychology department. But the brain makes no difference between all of these different aspects of the body. The brain simply says, “What do I have to do to survive?” and then the body triggers a unique pattern of defense responses to ensure survival.

For instance, when we have flu, our immune system is triggered but this also has an effect on our emotions and how we feel. We feel like we just want to take a rest. And biologically this is to ensure that healing occurs so that we survive.

Pharmaceuticals

colorful-pills-plastic-bottle

Currently, I do not believe there are any pharmaceuticals that could target such a specific reaction in the brain.

Most pharmaceuticals or supplements target the symptoms rather than the underlying cause.

If conditioning is mild, successful treatment of symptoms may bring recovery, but in the majority of cases, this may not occur. However, it is still important that you are guided by your Doctor.

Amygdala & Insula Retraining (AIR) Within the Gupta Program Breaks This Vicious Cycle By Applying Techniques That Encourage The Brain To Discontinue This Over-Stimulation.

Luckily the amygdala and insula constantly communicates with other parts of the brain, and that’s where retraining can take place. Amygdala & Insula Retraining is designed to strengthen the prefrontal cortex and restore inhibitory mechanisms in the insula, anterior cingulate and other associated structures.

The unconscious brain reaction involved in amygdala and insula dysfunction is not normally under a patient’s control, but I believe that my highly specialized “brain retraining” techniques derived from NLP, Timeline Therapy, self-coaching, parts therapy, visualization, breathing, meditation techniques, and others, can target the reaction and control the amygdala and insula, and bring the brain and body back to homeostasis. These are not psychological techniques, but powerful proven neuroplasticity tools to support people's recovery from chronic conditions.
