An Iranian study randomly assigned hospitalised COVID patients to either receiving standard care alone, or receiving standard care along with spirulina for 6 days. The group of 91 hospitalised COVID patients who were given 15.2 grams of spirulina daily as well as standard care had no deaths...

Abstract COVID-19, caused by SARS-CoV-2, is a respiratory disease associated with inflammation and endotheliitis. Mechanisms underling inflammatory processes are unclear, but angiotensin converting enzyme 2 (ACE2), the receptor which binds the spike protein of SARS-CoV-2 may be important. Here...

Highlights • Combined treatment with the α2A-adrenoceptor agonist, guanfacine, and the anti-oxidant, N-acetylcysteine (NAC) reduced the cognitive deficits (“brain fog”) associated with long-COVID19 in eight out of twelve patients. • Two patients stopped treatment due to hypotension and/or...

Abstract Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is known to cause multi-organ dysfunction1,2,3 during acute infection with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), with some patients experiencing prolonged symptoms, termed post-acute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 (refs. 4,5). However...

The coronavirus variants of concern are emerging from chronic, long-term COVID infections in people who may be immune comprised and unable to clear the virus, a new study strongly suggests. Frontiers in Virology published the findings by scientists at Emory University and the University of...

SARS-CoV-2 infects, replicates, elevates angiotensin II and activates immune cells in human testes (Costa et al., 2022) (pre-print) https://doi.org/10.1101/2022.02.05.22270327 Main points: The coronavirus infects sperm stem cells in the testicles more often than previously thought. Detecting...

Thought this was interesting because they say it can be "tuned" to hunt for any specific virus, not just covid. Also they say it will be on the market in 2 years if everything goes to plan. This is their paper on it I think...

I have a pre-existing condition, multiple chemical sensitivities, which upon more recent testing looks to be caused by an insufficiency of the appropriate amino acids as well as mercury poisoning which allowed candida, SIBO, H. pylori, and ulcers to flourish. I was worried for a bit when the...

The COVID-19 pandemic has really shown me how the medical system works and how politics can influence the progress of a pandemic. I think there are many lessons to learn for CFS/ME. The following are some points from two webinars with Dr. Paul Marik, the leading scientists who pushed...

Long Covid: A summary of discussions on Phoenix Rising So remember back in January when we were all wondering if the novel coronavirus might result in an ME/CFS-like condition? Well, I thought I would start a thread to collect together all the discussions that might be relevant to "Long...

It seems like the SARS-CoV-2 virus can invade host cells not only via the ACE2 receptor, but also via a receptor called CD147. [1] This receptor is also called "extracellular matrix metalloproteinase inducer" (EMMPRIN) or Basigin. [2] EMMPRIN/CD147 induces the production of matrix...

A short introduction to Ambroxol: Ambroxol is indicated as "secretolytic therapy in bronchopulmonary diseases associated with abnormal mucus secretion and impaired mucus transport. It promotes mucus clearance, facilitates expectoration and eases productive cough, allowing patients to breathe...
