Why Dysbiosis, SIBO, Hydrogen Sulfide Intolerance, MCAS, and Long COVID May All Be Downstream of a Single Event
Dysbiosis, SIBO, hydrogen sulfide intolerance, MCAS, and long COVID may all be downstream of one event: the colonocyte losing control of oxygen, butyrate, and its own mitochondria. The Host Capacity Model in full.

What Actually Causes POTS? A Mechanistic Reading of Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome
POTS is not one disease. Four mechanistically distinct pathways — post-viral autonomic ganglion dysfunction, gut-driven vagal dysregulation, connective-tissue-mediated venous pooling, and primary deconditioning — produce the same phenotype. Each needs different intervention. A Host Capacity Model stratification of why standard POTS treatment helps some patients and not others, and how to tell which pathway is dominant in a given case.

The Mycotoxin-Mitochondria Trap: Why Standard Detox Fails in Chronic Illness, and How to Escape It
Mycotoxins directly impair mitochondrial function and disrupt the gut oxygen gradient, creating a bioenergetic trap that binders alone cannot break. A Host Capacity Model interpretation of why standard detox protocols fail in SIBO, MCAS, and long COVID, and what the upstream lesion actually requires.

Why Your Brain Fog Won't Lift: The Six Mechanisms of Cognitive Dysfunction in Chronic Illness, and Why Standard Interventions Keep Failing
What patients with persistent brain fog across long COVID, MCAS, SIBO, perimenopause, and ME/CFS have in common, and where the actual lesion lives.

Why Long COVID Won't Resolve: A Mechanistic Reading of Viral Persistence, Mitochondrial Dysfunction, and the Gut–Brain Axis the Standard Model Is Missing
What three years of research actually shows about viral persistence, serotonin depletion, mitochondrial impairment, microclots, and EBV reactivation — and the single upstream layer that ties them together.

Why Every Protocol Stops Working After Two Weeks: The Mechanistic Pattern Hiding in Plain Sight in Chronic SIBO, MCAS, and Long COVID
The pattern nobody has named — and what it's actually telling you about your upstream lesion. Why pharmacologically unrelated protocols all plateau on the same two-to-three-week curve, and what that convergence reveals about where your lesion actually lives.
