“Reprogramming of host metabolism supports viral pathogenesis by fueling viral proliferation, by providing, for example, free amino acids and fatty acids as building blocks,” as reported in COVID-19 infection alters kynurenine and fatty acid metabolism, correlating with IL-6 levels and renal status. “Targeted and untargeted metabolomics analyses identified altered tryptophan metabolism into the kynurenine pathway, […]

COVID-19 and Tryptophan Deficiency
COVID depletes your NAD+. The body hijacks tryptophan trying to make NAD+. This is one cause of post-COVID anxiety. There are other causes of post-COVID low tryptophan levels. “Low serum and muscle tryptophan levels, as well as elevated kynurenine levels, may be to blame for COVID-19’s most common long-term symptoms, such as depression, sleep disturbances, […]

COVID-19: Chronic Conditions
By Daniel Brouse help@membrane.com “I describe it as a bit like somebody throwing a hand grenade into our immune system, that all the populations [of immune cells] are completely topsy turvy and unsettled for years. And, that’s a guess, but we’ve got the technology to look at that in quite a lot of detail,” said […]

The Cost of Flood Insurance
An article in the New York Times entitled The Cost of Insuring Expensive Waterfront Homes Is About to Skyrocket states, “Federal officials say the goal is fairness — and also getting homeowners to understand the extent of the risk they face, and perhaps move to safer ground, reducing the human and financial toll of disasters.” […]

COVID: The Natural Immunity Myth
by Daniel Brouse August 30, 2021 To date, there is zero (0) evidence that contracting the original strain of COVID gives you any immunity to re-infection — natural immunity. On the other hand, there are a multitude of examples of re-infection. Natural immunity to the original strain lasts on average from 60 days to 6 […]

Long-COVID: What We Know About Long Haulers Syndrome
by Daniel Brouse August 25, 2021 help@membrane.com Post Acute Covid Syndrome 19 (PACS19), long-COVID, and Long Haulers Syndrome are names for the condition that an individual has after recovering from the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Long-COVID is actually a combination of several conditions and syndromes including changes to your genetics, an accelerant to aging, and the persistence […]

COVID Vaccine Breakthrough Cases
by Daniel Brouse August 23, 2021 help@membrane.com Q: Why are there so many breakthrough cases of COVID in the vaccinated? A: There are several reasons why there are breakthrough cases with any vaccine; however, COVID is different. Many of the vaccinated people getting COVID already had COVID prior to being vaccinated. This is the second […]

COVID-19 Delta Variant and Vaccines
By Daniel Brouse What do we know about the Delta variant and vaccines? OVERVIEW The efficacy of mRna vaccines is about 79% against contracting the Delta variant. Non-mRna vaccines are between 40-60% effective against Delta. Vaccines lose efficacy at about 3%/month after six months of being fully vaccinated. Vaccines appear to help contain the Delta […]

Long-COVID and Environmental Aggravators
by Daniel Brouse help@membrane.com Exercise aggravates long-COVID symptoms. COVID causes changes to your genes making it harder to create NAD+ and quicker to consume NAD+. Normally, exercise helps boost your NAD+. Not with long-COVID. The inflammation caused by exercise, anxiety, or exertion causes a rapid depletion of NAD+ aggravating long-COVID symptoms and perpetuating the downward […]
