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: reduced exercise capacity and muscle cell death
A symptom of long COVID may be the reason you feel exhausted after a workout — “long COVID may reduce exercise capacity, measured by how much oxygen your body can use and how your heart and lungs function during exercise.” In January of 2024, a study found long-COVID patients have muscle abnormalities that resulted in […]

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 […]

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 […]
