Our Approach to Long Covid

Helios Integrated Medicine  has decades of experience treating post viral syndromes. West Nile virus, Epstein Barr syndrome, mononucleosis, post influenza, Dengue fever, and varicella and herpes simplex syndromes are all conditions that conventional medicine has struggled to treat.  Pierre Brunschwig MD brings over 30 years of clinical experience integrating conventional and holistic medicine. He offers a blend of disciplines that are ideally suited to the challenges of long term COVID. In particular, the integration of Functional Medicine and Traditional Chinese Medicine holds great promise for successfully confronting the unique challenges long term COVID. What is more, Dr. Brunschwig’s other degree is in molecular biology. This allows him to incorporate the evolving scientific understanding of COVID19 in virology, epidemiology and infectious disease.

We have still much to learn regarding the details of COVID19’s attack on the human body. However, what we do know is that it can damage many systems: pulmonary, nervous, cardiovascular, digestive, and immune. Post COVID patients display a wide variety of symptoms. Each patient being unique (See the adjacent chart from Indiana University’s survey of Survivor Corps members). Not only will post-acute COVID patients need close coordination of their specialty care, they need some one to put their care together holistically and comprehensively. Our approach includes a complete understanding of each patient, selective functional testing and  personalized treatment across a variety of disciplines. Additionally we integrate their specialty medical care with our complementary care. We believe all of these elements are essential for substantial and lasting relief for sufferers of long term COVID.
