The Latest Research on Mitochondrial Dysfunction in Long Covid & ME/CFS | With Prof. Klaus Wirth

In this video, the first of two, I talk with Professor Klaus Wirth about his latest research into mitochondrial dysfunction in ME/CFS and Long Covid. Important note regarding sodium/calcium intake for those who have expressed concerns - see below explanation from Prof Wirth himself: "There is (demonstrated) intramuscular sodium rise as a harmful mechanism in skeletal muscle. High intracelluar sodium finally causes calcium overload and mitochondrial damage via reversing the transport mode of the sodium-calcium-exchanger NCX from exporting calcium to importing calcium. On the other hand patients are recommended to take up sufficient sodium to combat hypovolemia and orthostatic intolerance that causes perfusion disturbances and a high level of stress (to desensitize ß2-adrenergic receptors that are so important for activating the Na+/K+ATPase). There is no contradiction. Intracellular (intramuscular sodium) is regulated by ion channels and transporters. Intramuscular sodium in ME/CFS is raised by excitation (sodium channel opening during excitation) and ion transporters (such as NHE1). One cannot lower (harmful elevated) intracellular sodium by restricting sodium intake which would worsen the orthostatic intolerance and the subsequent pathophysiology. Raising sodium intake in the situation of hypovolemia does not raise sodium concentrations in the blood but leads to an expansion of the volume (with no or very little change in the sodium concentration). Patients should take in the recommended amounts of salt – not low and not excessive."
