COVID-19 infection has been associated with post-infectious autoimmune diseases, including Type I diabetes. Type I diabetes is different from Type II diabetes; it occurs when the pancreas fails to produce enough insulin due to the destruction of beta (B) cells. This damage can result from various factors, including infections, non-infectious causes, and injuries. Infections refer to external viruses or bacteria that can directly harm the B cells, hindering their ability to produce sufficient insulin. Non-infectious causes include autoimmune diseases, where the immune system mistakenly identifies the body’s own tissues as foreign and attacks the B cells as if they were antigens. Additionally, genetic mutations affecting the quality or functionality of the B cells may be inherited. Exposure to certain chemicals can also damage the B cells. These multiple factors can contribute to the development of Type I diabetes.

There has been a noticeable increase in diagnoses of Type I diabetes following COVID-19 infections, which may indicate the presence of Long COVID. The inflammation caused by post- infectious autoimmune diseases can lead to multiple coexisting conditions. Since there is often a single underlying issue, the immune system reacts to the inflamed tissues. Scientists face the challenge of restoring the damaged B cells while calming the overactive immune response. This involves enabling the B cells to regenerate without genetic mutations and eliminating the immune system’s memory cells to restore insulin production. Decrease the likelihood of insulin dependency in patients with Type 1 diabetes.

For example, we are currently treating an 18-year-old patient diagnosed with Type I diabetes after contracting COVID-19 and receiving two COVID-19 vaccinations. This patient also presents with headaches, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), anxiety, depression, insomnia, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), and weight gain. She exhibited symptoms and was diagnosed with all these conditions except Type I diabetes before her COVID-19 infection. Whether the COVID-19 virus or the vaccine acts as an external antigen, both have been linked to an increase in new diseases among individuals with immune response disorders.

After analyzing her pathological states in the clinic, we found standard pathological indicators in the diseases mentioned above. There is a typical pathological process associated with all the conditions she has been diagnosed with. Therefore, our target treatment focuses on reversing this pathological process if it can be reversed to restore physiological function. Our approach addresses all these diagnoses based on modern medical understanding, but instead of relying solely on the conventional medical diagnosis of individual diseases, we concentrate on their pathological dynamics.

Our treatment plan seeks to address the inflammation affecting the pancreas, brain, ovaries, and lower esophageal sphincter (LES), while also managing the overactive immune system to prevent further damage to these target organs. This holistic approach aims to heal the inflammation-related diseases within one body. The patient’s clinical symptoms and advanced experimental data will support the treatment results.

At the core of these health issues is inflammation; effectively managing this inflammation in a clinical setting can help resolve the patient’s various conditions. The ultimate goal of research in the medical field worldwide is to alleviate patient suffering, whether through conventional or alternative medicine. Our approach aims to reverse the damage inflicted on organs, restoring them from a pathological to a physiological state.
