Examining pulse of a patient with “MOTOR NEURON DISEASE” helped me find a cure
1.Motor neuron disease (MND) or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), is a progressive neurological disease causing severe weakness and wasting of muscles. It has no cure and results in death in most.
2. A 50-year old man consulted me 6 months ago for a second opinion. He had complaints of difficulty in swallowing, slurred speech, weakness and wasting of muscles of arms and legs, which had progressed over previous 9 months.

🧵 Thread zum Thema #GI #gastrointestinale Probleme im Zuge von #LongCovid

Viele #longcovid (und auch #mecfs) Betroffene berichten von anhaltenden Verdauungsproblemen wie Durchfall - #Diarrhoea nach der Infektion.

Auch ich habe seit 11 Monaten eine gestörte Verdauung …

6 Monate nach der Infektion wurde es immer schlimmer, unverdaute Substanzen im Stuhl, anhaltender Wasser- und Kräfteentziehender Durchfall.

Ich lies eine #Mikrobiomanalyse einer Stuhlprobe durchführen. (Kosten: 130€)

1. #leakygut, … heißt mein Darm ist löchrig und Stoffe die eigentlich ausgeschieden in die Toilette gehören, landen leider auch im Blut, woraufhin leider auch das Immunsystem wie zb #Mastzellen reagieren können.

High levels of an #infection in #Massachusetts is causing both gastrointestinal (#diarrhoea, #vomiting) & respiratory (#cough, #sinus, #headache) symptoms WITHOUT typical fever or runny nose - School children & parents/guardians across #boston suburbs affected for last 3 weeks.
Note the CDC data suggests very little SARS-CoV-2 (Omicron) or influenza (flu) at this time in Massachusetts or Connecticut or New Hampshire. So diagnostic tests being used are not catching this circulating pathogen, or a seasonal coronavirus/norovirus/adenovirus is the culprit
According to the data on SARS-CoV-2-positive PCR tests there is very low levels of COVID-19 over last 3 weeks in Massachusetts, CT, NH, RI & VT. Yet there are several #school #children, #teachers and #parents with gastrointestinal & respiratory #infection symptoms in these states Image
