@BerbarianWizard Iranian medicine research is also some of the best we currently have. I always get very excited when I open an Iranian university pubmed paper.
six years and counting with long covid. recently housed, sort of. still regrouping from loss of camp, still have medical expenses, now have rent and utilities also.

Let’s stop beating around the bush and address the absolute crisis hiding in plain sight.
From toxic air quality to endocrine-disrupting chemicals, our environment is actively destroying human biology.
The result?
Massive hormonal chaos.
But it goes even deeper.
The global confusion surrounding sexual identification isn’t just a social conversation—it is a deeply biological one.
Nobody wants to speak the truth on this, but I AM.
@rigczoteka@StillmanMD If you supplement: seems copper glycinate does not compete with zinc for absorption and is more bioavailable than other forms of copper.
@tylerblack32 I confess I haven’t looked into this much, but am interested. Kiddos are often genetically predisposed to OCD and then a stressful event can trigger its first obvious appearance. Illness could be a trigger. For my kiddo, it was our first time apart during a parents only vacation.
@StPadrePio1887@HansAmato True. But don't you get the feeling our species needs it to survive? In that it is passed on through natural childbirth and nurtures infant-mother attachment? Dates back to neanderthals but today almost extinct in human microbiome.
@StPadrePio1887@HansAmato In pill form saw it resolve a chronic gut crisis (which relapsed later). Interesting re lactate. LR should be anti-inflammatory, immune-stabilizing, good for the heart. But not with dairy as the medium for people with syndromes? FYI it's disappearing from the Western microbiome.
A multi-omics paper on long COVID in Frontiers in Immunology deserves more attention than it got. The through-line is uncomfortable - the cellular power supply stays switched off long after the acute phase is over.🧵
Researchers studied 4909 people with IBD and 1006 controls.
In 3.5% of IBD patients, antibodies blocked interleukin-10, a brake on inflammation, letting gut immune cells overreact to bacteria.

Holding high blood volume when chronically ill is hard.
One major reason can be increased bradykinin inhibiting your usual sodium/water retention pathways.
Interestingly, increased bradykinin is a marker associated with Covid illness severity.
Questions:
is chronically elevated bradykinin driving long covid symptoms?
and/or
is low blood volume driving more severe reactions to infections/viruses?
Food for thought.
