By Daniel Brouse The study, titled “Iron Dysregulation and Inflammatory Stress Erythropoiesis Associated with Long-Term Outcome of COVID-19,” reveals that Long-COVID is linked to elevated levels of C-reactive protein and prolonged elevation of cytokines compared to healthy controls. The research indicates that the duration of inflammation and the regulation of low iron levels after acute […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]
