🧩 Three independent research studies, recently highlighted by Cort Johnson — on ME/CFS, Long COVID, and Fibromyalgia — point to a common underlying mechanism. At first glance, they seem unrelated.
But together, they fit into a single framework 👇🧵

🧬 If you’re Caucasian and have allergies, you might be at higher risk of developing an autoimmune disease, Long COVID, or ME/cfs. Why? Ancestral HLA-II haplotypes that overreact.
 What once protected us from infections… can now turn against us. 👇 I explain it here #Immunology #LongCOVID #MEcfs

🪫 The discharged battery representing #MECFS, #LongCOVID and post-vaccine syndromes is no coincidence: it symbolizes low cortisol. ⚠️ This hormone is key to energy, stress and recovery. It's time to redesign that battery..... cortisol-loaded! #Health
