Releasing Iron in Long-COVID: Copper, Fasting, and Cooling Inflammation

Last week I published two articles on iron, one suggesting it could play a role in post-COVID fatigue and hair loss, and the second suggesting it could play a nearly identical role in the same symptoms when resulting from COVID vaccination.

In these posts I did not recommend indiscriminate iron supplementation. Rather, I suggested it would be helpful to approach the issue by cooling residual inflammation, testing iron status, and strategically supplementing iron if justified by the testing.

Several people responded by suggesting that COVID is more likely promoting cellular iron overload (as argued by Walter Chestnut) and that it was copper, not iron, that would be the fix (drawing from The Root Cause Protocol of Morley Robbins).

In this article, I address these issues while covering a general approach to release iron that has been trapped by inflammatory processes.
