Dr Tina Peers presents a hypothesis and recent findings presented at the TLC conference with regards to viral debris. Dr Peers will present some case studies including patient medical histories, genetic findings, treatments given and progress made.

Dr Peers qualified at Guys Hospital Medical School at the University of London, in 1983. She completed her GP training in 1987.

After working as a GP for seven years she decided to concentrate on women’s health and was appointed as lead clinician for the contraception services for East Surrey in 1994. In 1996 she became a consultant in contraception and reproductive health care. She then lead and developed the contraceptive services in Surrey until 2018.

She became a Menopause Specialist working at the Chelsea and Westminster hospital and then opened her private clinic The Menopause Consultancy in 2019, having developed a very successful private practice since 1999.

In 2016 she developed an interest in MCAS having diagnosed her youngest daughter with the condition. She then started treating patients with this syndrome and has helped over 1000 patients to date. In the summer of 2020 she became very interested in Long COVID and realised the similarities with MCAS. She opened a Long COVID clinic in November 2020 and has treated over 80 Long COVID patients by June 2021 when she organised and hosted the first TLC conference on Treating Long COVID. She felt passionately that the latest research and treatments should be available to all patients globally and was delighted when 2200 people registered for the conference. She also saw it as an ideal opportunity to invite one of the leading lights in MCAS, Dr Lawrence Afrin, to speak about MCAS at the conference. The conference is now available on the website www.treatlongcovid.com

Dr Peers is passionate about sharing knowledge and experiences and has been widely interviewed by Gez Medinger, Liz Earle, Dr Mobeen Syed and many other journalists. She has been working collaboratively with the FLCCC and with the BIRD Group promoting the science of Ivermectin.
