So what’s the treatment?

I wonder if Kelly Riis-Johannessen has any thoughts on COVID-19 as it relates to some of its similarities to High Altitude Sickness. Severe headache, nausea, dizziness, extreme fatigue.

I just went through altitude sickness, and it felt very similar to my covid experience. Covid was worse. I wonder if low iron plays a part.

But what is the solution? What can we do? More info

Man with my peanut brain i will climb K2 casually like a walk in the park

upset I watched the whole video without a solution….

I took the time to watch the entire talk only to find out that the alternative treatment for altitude sickness is to go see an Osteopath. There’s no empowering information for people to take home at the end of the talk.

The empowering information is...to go see an Osteopath. This is something I had never thought of. What a great stumble for me to find this video

I found this video cringy … to really treat AMS and beyond you need actual real meds like Diamox, Nifedipine, dexamethisone not some naturopathic bs. Seriously 😒

What personally helped me, and probably saved me is the homeopathic remedy called Coca. Experienced naturopaths suggested and I am so very grateful because this allowed me to enjoy more at higher altitudes, incl. skiing.

is that coca leaves?

In your experiment, did you consider what the subjects activity prior to getting the altitude sickness? Such as the travel involved to get to the high altitude area? I I was one who suffered from altitude sickness after arriving in Woodland Park,Colorado. I now realize that perhaps the long drive there and setting in the vehicle the whole drive was probably a great contributor to the sickness. Lack of movement for all of that time probably causing my blood to pool instead of a good flow from activity. Got there late at night and went straight to bed and woke the next morning with a horrible headache and vomiting. After going down to lower altitude for several hours to another town, I began to feel better and then realized what was the matter. I did not hear you address this in your talk so I thought I would bring to your attention that activity involved or lack of activity could greatly make a difference in whether a person got sick or not, correct? I will definitely keep it in mind the next time I go to Colorado. Thank you for your information though as I believe it will be helpful.

Great, thanks a lot!

Those results cited in this video were already published somewhere? I'm interested in studying these findings. Congratulations.

Well done Kelly, very clear and well spoken, it is always a great encouragement to see the growth of a friend and colleague. Keep up the good work.

Great job Kelly! This was an amazing education on altitude sickness and the venous congestion! I wish you could travel with me every time I went to altitude. Are there ways to maybe see an osteopath before trips and then any manipulations we can do ourself up at altitude? I am also researching herbal and vitamin supplements to help with the drainage.

Herbal vitamin supplements to drain what exactly? Excuse my ignorance.

They do know! It's because fit people go faster and don't give enough time to rest. WLking slower is better

I just watched something like this about covid 19. People are getting apoxia "lack of oxygen" but no symptoms of heart attack or even awareness of lack of oxygen but instead a euphoria like during altitude sickness. Drs want to re think the treatment and not just treat covid with phemonia treatments as they are now.

We all need this right now since we can't breath due to masks

This presentation was terrible in so many ways. It seemed more like an ad for osteopathy. She reveals essentially no information. Her visual aids are absurd and her presentation style is a bizarre mix of TED inflection and breathless marketing.

Jesus, this was long

I hope she has learned the basic pronunciation of “edema” in the last 5 years
