by Daniel Brouse Not only is COVID-19 known to cause immune system disorders, post-COVID also increases the risk of autoimmune disease. There are multiple ways COVID has been shown to weaken the immune system (Immunocompromised) including: Destruction of Good Gut Bacteria Resulting in a Compromised Immune System, Dysfunctional Kynurenine Pathway, Down Regulating NAD+, Up Regulating IDO, […]

COVID-19 Compromises Your Immune System (Immunocompromised)
By Daniel Brouse SARS-CoV-2 and the results of COVID-19 cause long-term immune system dysfunction. That is to say COVID results in a compromised immune system. * SARS-CoV-2 infection weakens immune-cell response The magnitude and quality of a key immune cell’s response to vaccination with two doses of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine were considerably lower in […]

COVID-19: reinfection increases risks of death, hospitalization and damage to multiple organs
The study Acute and postacute sequelae associated with SARS-CoV-2 reinfection was published in the Journal Nature. * The evidence shows that reinfection further increases risks of death, hospitalization and damage to multiple organ systems * COVID exacerbates underlying conditions including pulmonary, cardiovascular, hematological, diabetes, gastrointestinal, kidney, mental health, musculoskeletal and neurological disorders First infection with […]

COVID-19: Aging Accelerant
In three separate studies of the kidneys, heart, and brain, COVID-19 has been found to act as an aging accelerant. “Some of the theories for what may be causing long-COVID symptoms include the persistence of the virus. So, instead of the virus coming and going, it sticks around causing inflammation, auto-immune problems and changes in […]

Long-COVID: 4 Out of 5 Experiencing Limitations in Daily Activities
The CDC Panel Report Long COVID Panel Survey found: * 81% of adults with ongoing symptoms of COVID lasting three months or longer — or four out of five adults — are experiencing limitations in their daily activities compared to before they had the virus. (Economic implications include work force participation and long-term health care […]
COVID-19 Significantly Higher Risk of Alzheimer’s
The risk of older people (over 65) developing Alzheimer’s disease over a one-year period nearly doubled following a COVID-19 diagnosis. The same researchers had previously found that individuals with dementia had a greater risk of contracting COVID-19 and being hospitalized and dying from the disease than those without dementia. “Many people believe that for Alzheimer’s […]

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 […]
