I'd like to point out that everything Paul Cheney observed in his original CFS/ME cohort(reduced EF, reduced sats, disappearing fingerprints, etc...) can be explained by obstructed ZongQi, the TCM theory for Long Covid pathogenesis. What about mold?...

When ZongQi(and/or ejection fraction) is impaired, the body is less able to clean up oxidative and microbial waste products, therefore allowing them to accrue in the form of ROS and biofilm, for instance. ZongQi is as much about oxygen as it is toxicity.

The herbs Sun Xuesong recommends for unobstructing ZongQi are powerfully decongestant, antimicrobial, and antioxidative. In fact, Hong Jing Tian is prescribed for altitude intolerance and is used in the formula to supplement the Qi of the chest(Zong Qi).
I'd love to do a more detailed lecture on this topic. @IsabelRamirezRD
