Finally found the write up I did last year. Hope the links work (might have to copy and paste them) as I've copied and pasted from my saved document
of said write up.
I'm no virologist, medical doctor or any other type of allopathic practitioner, but being a multi-disciplined Clinical Complementary Therapist I have
a foot in both allopathic and complementary approaches to human health and as such will view things and their possibilities from 'outside the box'.
As Aromatherapists, we tend to come across and pay more attention to, anti-viral essential oils. Since the beginning of this year, I have been
encouraging my students to pay more attention too and get to know their anti-bacterial, anti-parasitic and anti-microbial oils better and thoroughly
if they want to stay ahead. Parasites, microorganisms/microbes can be bacteria, fungi, archaea (found in extreme environments e.g., hydrothermal vents
and hot springs), or protists (which are in water, live in damp environments and are even parasites).
“A list of 19 fungi representing the greatest threat to human health has been released by the World Health Organization (WHO), with a warning some
strains are increasingly drug-resistant and becoming more widespread.”

“Fungi are more complicated organisms than viruses and bacteria—they are "eukaryotes," which means they have cells. Of the three pathogens, fungi
are most similar to animals in their structure.”
and...
“Certain environmental fungi reproduce "spores," particles that can enter our body through the lungs or on the skin. These fungi can be especially
damaging for people with weakened immune systems, as the fungi can spread quickly and damage many organs.”

“Is parasite and fungus same?
Fungi are eukaryotes, meaning that like parasites, their cells have a true nucleus and complex internal structures. They are most commonly found as
environmentally resistant spores and moulds, but can cause disease in humans in the form of yeasts. Fungi most often cause skin infections and
pneumonia.”

Then there's this.....
“Why would an antibiotic not work on a fungal infection?
Fungi include yeasts, which grow as spherical cells; and moulds, which grow as elongated, tubular cells. Both yeasts and moulds are more closely
related genetically to humans than they are to bacteria. Therefore, it is hard to develop antibiotics that attack fungi without damaging human
cells.”

Fungus is like parasites. Interestingly up to 80% of cancers are parasites.
“Is colon cancer caused by parasites?
It is well documented that chronic colitis such as inflammatory bowel disease can predispose individuals to colorectal cancer. Additionally, there is
evidence of chronic parasitic infections inducing the development of cancers in other organs within the gastrointestinal tract.”

Then we have Ivermectin...
“Ivermectin. The chemical compound ivermectin belongs to the group of avermectins, which were originally isolated from the fungus of the
Streptomyces avermitilis group by Professor Saitoshi Omura (Japan, Kitasato University).

“However, other evidence indicates that COVID-19 lethality rates are significantly lower in Sub-Saharan Africa than in the industrialized world
(25). Wolday et al. (26) carried out a prospective observational cohort study to investigate whether there was a potential correlation between
co-infection with intestinal parasites and the severity of COVID-19 in two sites in an endemic area of Ethiopia in Sub-Saharan Africa. The study
revealed that patients co-infected with parasites had lower odds of developing severe COVID-19”

Also....
“Considering that a large number of patients with COVID-19 will have some degree of immunosuppression, it is expected that they may be at risk of
reactivation of dormant/latent parasitic infections, especially in endemic areas. For instance, the protozoan To. gondii infects about 25–30% of the
world's population, with a seroprevalence of 10–80% across countries.7 The dormant tissue cysts that contain the bradyzoites of To. gondii are at a
high risk of reactivation with decreasing levels of CD4+ T cells, as in AIDS, and usually manifest as Toxoplasma encephalitis. Such a reactivation is
also a likely scenario in COVID-19 with progressive lymphopenia, but may remain unnoticed because the presenting features of Toxoplasma encephalitis,
such as altered sensorium, seizures and other neuropsychiatric symptoms, overlap with those of COVID-19.8 It is also noteworthy that some of the
neurological and psychological clinical features of long-COVID are also known to exist in toxoplasmosis,8 and such patients who require additional
post-COVID care may benefit from evaluation and management of Toxoplasma.”

In my view, there is a link between Long-Covid and the Epstein-Barr 'virus', which is actually a parasite.
“EBV is a very ancient parasite of humans that has been in the human evolutionary tree for at least 40 million years, and as such has established a
delicately balanced relationship with its host.”
From....

I've said from the beginning of Long-Covid becoming a 'thing', that EBV lies dormant, but sees itself as the 'boss on the block' and woe betide any
other virus rearing its ugly head! EBV is well known for leaving people with chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) or ME, myalgic encephalomyelitis.
So in order, and just my thoughts.....
a) you catch C19 (virus)
b) EBV (parasite) doesn't like C19 (or any other virus for that matter) and re-activates and kills said virus.
c) EBV (parasite) now out of control, CFS/Long-Covid ensues.
d) EBV so busy fighting off C19, other parasites (which EBV kept in check) also start rearing their ugly heads. Thus, CFS gets miss-diagnosed because
now your intestinal parasites are multiplying and has same symptoms.
e) fungal infections start joining the 'soup' as your immune system is now in overload.
As I said, I'm no virologist, medical doctor or any other type of allopathic practitioner.
