People diagnosed with COVID-19 from March through December 2020 fell into two categories: symptomatic and asymptomatic (no symptoms). Symptoms included many associated with the common cold or flu: headache, cough, stuffiness, respiratory issues and fatigue. There are hundreds of thousands, if not millions, that fit this description—the “long haulers” or “long COVID” people. These symptoms may include continued fatigue, heaviness in legs, heart palpitations, dizziness, tinnitus and bloodshot/glossy eyes as well as loss of taste, smell and hearing. In addition, intestinal blockage and/or excess bleeding may occur. Many areas can be addressed with natural and alternative methods.

The Passport to Health & Wellness Expo is scheduled for May 5 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. in Bristol. Presented by Holistic Community Professionals, it will feature speakers on the half-hour beginning at 11 a.m., with the keynote speaker at 1 p.m. The event will have more than 75 vendors offering hands-on bodywork as well as holistic wellness products and treatments. A free, interactive drumming Soundscape Collective with Katie Cavanagh will be offered at 4 p.m. (bring your drums). Free admission guest passes are available on EventBrite for all attendees for the lectures. There will be a special offer for all registrants sent out in advance of the expo.
