Book excerpt: Scientifically based and emotionally charged, this book demystifies the new epidemic, called 'Long Haulers Syndrome' in America and 'Long Covid' globally. Motivated by the suffering of his own family and friends, investigative journalist Michael Bowker set out to find the truth behind this brutal sequel to COVID-19 that is striking tens of millions of people in the US and worldwide. Bowker conducted exclusive interviews with post-COVID experts from Mount Sinai, Mayo Clinic, the NIH, Johns Hopkins, Stanford University and medical centers worldwide. They unveil the mysteries of the disease and prove the often-debilitating symptoms are biologically based, not psychosomatic. Also included is a look at the research into treatments and cures, patient stories and a review of symptoms and their causes, and a look at the epidemic worldwide. The book is full of profound affirmation and hope for patients.
