In the report published in Nature entitled Over half of known human pathogenic diseases can be aggravated by climate change, data analyst and associate professor in the Department of Geography and Environment at the University of Hawaii Manoa, Camilo Mora, said climate hazards aggravated 58% of all known human pathogens. That is over half of […]

How You Photosynthesize (And Why a Vitamin D Supplement Is Not the Same)
by Daniel Brouse Did you know you photosynthesize? Most of the vitamin D in your body is created by exposure to sunlight. “During exposure to sunlight, the high-energy UV photons (290-315 nm) penetrate the epidermis and photolyze 7-dehydrocholesterol (provitamin D3) to previtamin D3. Once formed, previtamin D3 undergoes a thermally induced isomerization to vitamin D3 […]
Good Gut Bacteria and Food Allergies
The rise in food allergies has nothing to do with GMOs. The increase number of people with fool allergies is mostly to do with good gut bacteria. Many children are not getting introduced to the bacteria needed to establish good gut bacteria. Many adults good gut bacteria is getting destroyed by diseases, such as, COVID. […]

Gut Microbiota (Good Gut Bacteria) and COVID-19
by Daniel Brouse Good gut bacteria are the microorganisms (bacteria and archaea) that live in the digestive tract. The gut microbiota produces fermentation of non-digestible substrates like dietary fibres and endogenous intestinal mucus. “Approximately 100 trillion micro-organisms (most of them bacteria, but also viruses, fungi, and protozoa) exist in the human gastrointestinal tract — the […]

COVID, Long-COVID, and Blood Clots
by Daniel Brouse Originally, COVID-19 was thought to be a respiratory infection. It didn’t take long to discover that SARS-CoV-2 quickly enters the heart, blood stream, and can infect every organ. Now we know that SARS-CoV-2 causes micro bloodclots that do not necessarily clear the system. Resta Pretorius, a South African scientist, says, “When we […]

Persistent SARS-CoV-2 in Organs and Throughout the Brain
by Daniel Brouse help@membranwe.com Part I: What is a persistent virus? (The Chronic Infection Hypothesis) Persistent viruses are not cleared but remain in specific cells of infected individuals. Persistent infections may involve stages of both silent and productive infection without rapidly killing the host. Diseases caused by persistent virus infections include acquired immune deficiency syndrome […]

Long-COVID’s Similarity to HIV
Persistent viruses are not cleared but remain in specific cells of infected individuals. Persistent infections may involve stages of both silent and productive infection without rapidly killing the host. Diseases caused by persistent virus infections include acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS), AIDS-related complexes, chronic hepatitis, subacute sclerosing panencephalitis (chronic measles encephalitis), chronic papovavirus encephalitis (progressive […]
