In this interview, I talk to Prof Klaus With, the man trying to create the world's first approved medication for ME/CFS & Long Covid (Mitodicure). 🧠 This 45-minute deep dive explores the groundbreaking research that led to the current development efforts of Mitodicure and Prof. Wirth’s unifying model of ME/CFS — created in collaboration with Prof. Carmen Scheibenbogen. We cover: 🔹 How Mitodicure is designed to heal the illness and not just suppress symptoms 🔹 Why it could significantly raise the PEM/crash threshold, improving quality of life but also allowing much deeper healing to occur (as PEM heightens and intensifies the illness) 🔹 What a patient might actually feel when taking the drug 🔹 Why drug-development-style research is vital to accelerate our understanding of ME/CFS pathophysiology 🔹 How the mystery of low blood volume in ME/CFS can be explained 🔹 How the Wirth and Scheibenbogen model accounts for muscle fibre necrosis during PEM This may be one of the most hopeful developments the ME/CFS and Long Covid communities have seen in years. 🙏 Please watch, share widely, and help raise awareness. The more visibility Mitodicure receives, the greater the chance of attracting investors for clinical trials — and, potentially, the possible breakthrough millions have been waiting for.
