Structural brain changes detected in novel long COVID imaging study

[SWAlexander]

Excerpt:
The research utilized a relatively new brain imaging technique called diffusion microstructure imaging (DMI). The technique tracks the movement of water molecules through brain tissue to deliver a high-resolution picture of the microstructures of the brain.

Looking generally for brain lesions or abnormalities, the researchers detected no notable differences between COVID patients and those uninfected. However, zooming in on the microstructural brain differences revealed significant alterations in the COVID cohorts.

All the findings in Covid research around the brain are deeply concerning as a person with Long Covid. Its not good news change in small tissue structure is a long way off technology wise.

Its not good news

I've suspected for years that brain inflammation is the key reason for my lack of recovery. Although this isn't good news, not everything is lost yet.
Again we are on a wait-and-see schedule.

"Roche can now take out drug and bring it to the clinic which is tremendously exciting. We're talking about Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, Cardiovascular disease- all these inflammatory diseases seem to involve one thing that goes wrong in your body.

"We have a drug that can correct it so it's a great day for the company."

If only we could get this scan done.

Could lack of peptides be a contributing factor to Covid?

"Peptide drug could treat long COVID, prevent reinfection"

It's amazing that they are saying this now.
At the beginning of my Covid infection in 2020, I could not eat food high in peptides. The consequence was collagen damage that also damaged my blood vessels, which has contributed to APS. In addition, my skin was affected and started to lose its protective collagen, and tiny lesions or ruptures can occur on the artery.

Food high in peptides:

• Meat.
• Fish and shellfish.
• Beans and lentils.
• Soy.
• Oats.
• Flaxseed.
• Hemp seeds.
• Wheat.

Fantastic pictures and evidence of how Covid affects the brain.

WOW. Beta-amyloid protein can be removed by using ultrasound:

Neurosurgeon works to slow Alzheimer's progression, treat addiction with cutting-edge technology
Anyone who has had experience with Alzheimer's disease knows the agony of watching someone fade away as it steals memory and at the end – a person's own identity. Tonight – we'll show you an experimental way to try and beat back Alzheimer's. It's been tested on just a handful of patients – but it caught our attention because of the doctor involved, Dr. Ali Rezai, who 60 Minutes first met 20 years ago. Dr. Rezai is a neuroscience pioneer who has developed treatments for Parkinson's disease and other brain disorders. Over the last year we followed this master of the mind as he attempted to delay the progression of Alzheimer's disease and its worst symptoms using ultrasound. We saw a cutting-edge approach to brain surgery…with no cutting.​
