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: Hypertension, Heart-disease Risk Soars
by Daniel Brouse There have been many documented cases of Sars-Cov-2 causing heart problems including Myocarditis (inflammation of the heart.) Johns Hopkins Medicine says, “Coronavirus infection also affects the inner surfaces of veins and arteries, which can cause blood vessel inflammation, damage to very small vessels and blood clots, all of which can compromise blood […]

COVID-19: Increased Risk of Autoimmune Diseases
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 […]
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 […]
