Severe COVID-19: Immune system derails

Contrary to what has been generally assumed so far, a severe course of COVID-19 does not solely result in a strong immune reaction.

@louisanicola_ Yes but what if you are bed ridden and have exercise intolerant incurable health condition. Would love to know your views on ME/CFS

[NG20194 @NG20194]

@paddyma91115145 @JackHadfield14 What was the protocol you followed?

[NG20194 @NG20194]

@louisanicola_ Thanks, Louisa as always. We need exercises with high impact in less time.

@ABrokenBattery How can I connect with her?

[NG20194 @NG20194]

@gymrat_bookworm Thank God you are there on X. I don't have CSU but CFS, burning in arms and legs, brain fog, with eosinophils in colon biopsy. Gastro said it is a form of MCAS.

@DarkGaiaRPG @stkirsch Can you please share the studies showing chalky pills cause Alzheimers?

@AttractionBeast How to get rid of chronic stress?

[NG20194 @NG20194]

@LiveAncestral Thanks for this clarity. LDL, statin fight is harming ordinary citizens. I guess it is inflammation that is the issue and LDL would become a dangerous plaque when inflammed? What if one is vegetarian and can't follow animal food-based diet?

[NG20194 @NG20194]

@MohammedAlo Does genetics decide type of diet to be followed? People are confused as many are fighting on X suggesting keto, animal based diet is good for heart but Cardiologists say lowering LDL, statins are crucial and mediterranean diet will help lower MACE! What to do?

@robertlufkinmd Excess of anything is toxic. Balance diet is key.

[NG20194 @NG20194]

@raphaels7 @Regenerated_com @nicknorwitz Thanks

@CindyHayes03 @markkaplan20 Thanks, Cindy. MSD is helpful in lowering MACE.

@louisanicola_ Do statins cause Alzheimer's?

[NG20194 @NG20194]

@Tellit007 Thanks

[NG20194 @NG20194]

@Tellit007 Is this true? Are statins anti-inflammatory?

[Mark Kaplan @markkaplan20]

Jupiter trial proved the following:

1. Inflammation predicts heart disease better than cholesterol.
Every patient in the trial had normal LDL (average 108 mg/dL). They would never have qualified for a statin under standard guidelines. They were enrolled because their hs-CRP was high (average 4.2 mg/L). The inflammation marker, not the cholesterol marker, identified them as at risk.

2. Lowering inflammation is what produced the benefit.
The statin lowered both LDL and CRP. But Ridker’s own follow-up analysis in the Lancet (2009) showed the benefit tracked with CRP reduction, not LDL reduction. Patients whose CRP dropped below 1.0 had a 79% reduction in events. Patients whose CRP stayed above 2.0 had only a 24% reduction. Same drug. Same LDL lowering. Completely different outcomes based on whether inflammation came down.

3. Statins may work as anti-inflammatory drugs, not cholesterol drugs.
This is the part the pharmaceutical industry never advertises. If the benefit comes from reducing inflammation, then the entire justification for targeting LDL collapses. You do not need to lower cholesterol. You need to lower inflammation. And there are ways to do that without a statin

[NG20194 @NG20194]

@Tellit007 Wouldn't it be people on statin became care free and started eating junk food leading to type 2 diabetes?

[Mark Kaplan @markkaplan20]

@DrHirschfield Any product with this track record would not see the light of day and people fired. The amount of lipstick to put on this pig 🐖 would break the Guinness book of records.

[NG20194 @NG20194]

@markkaplan20 How to lower inflammation without statins?

[NG20194 @NG20194]

@raphaels7 @Regenerated_com @nicknorwitz Raphael, because of LDL, Apo A,B fight, patients are suffering. Not sure which is best diet for people with dyslipidemia. Cardiologist immediately prescribe statins and other anti-lipid drugs to lower LDL Please advise whether LCHF without statins or mediterranean diet is right?
