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 […]

Omicron and Other COVID Variants / the Long Term Pandemic
COVID and Cats: A scientist friend called me last night… wanted to make sure I stocked up on enough masks and supplies for the next round featuring Omicron. We got to talking about severity of variants and what the most likely scenarios are: 1) the virus stays for a prolonged period in an unvaccinated immune […]

Omicron: What We Know About the COVID-19 Variant
We’re starting to find out more about Omicron: 1)”Previous infection used to protect against Delta but now with Omicron that doesn’t seem to be the case,” said Anne von Gottberg, microbiologist at South Africa’s National Institute for Communicable Diseases.” 2) risk of breakthrough vaccination is also much higher. Out of 600 fully vaccinated travelers from […]

Long-COVID Case Study: Vaccination Alleviation
About 4 weeks after my second dose of Moderna, I noticed my NAD+ symptoms resolved (diarrhea, headaches, fatigue, soreness, temperature regulation, night sweats, etc.) Even after stopping the Niacin treatment, all of the NAD+ downregulation appears to be “back to normal”. Finally being NAD+ symptom free, I was able to discover my IDO upregulation symptoms […]

COVID-19: Neurologic Complications
Most COVID cases develop chronic neurological symptoms including confusion, brain fog, headaches, encephalitis, stroke, dementia, neuropathy, muscle and nerve damage. Eight of 10 hospitalized COVID-19 patients developed neurologic complications and were six times more likely than their peers to die, according to early results from a global the study Global Incidence of Neurological Manifestations Among […]

COVID-19: Dysfunctional Kynurenine
“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 […]

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 […]
