Excited to present my labs latest pre-print, in which we uncover one of the mechanisms used by #SARS-CoV-2 to evade the #ImmuneSystem. A short tweet-torial on what we found 1/10

Innate immune cells respond first to infection, often by "eating" pathogens. This slows infection, but full clearance often requires adaptive immunity - as in the antibodies and T cells that respectively neutralize pathogens and kill pathogen-infected cells. 2/10 Image
Activating adaptive immunity requires antigen presentation, where an innate immune cell shows fragments (antigens) of a pathogen to cells of the adaptive immune system. If the adaptive cell recognizes the antigen, it becomes activated and begins fighting the infection. 3/10 Image

The effects of a ketogenic diet on immune function is one of the mechanisms by which it improves brain health. A healthy immune system protects the brain and reduces neuroinflammation. Brain immunology is a thing we don't talk about enough. 🧵
"...the present article encompasses several facets of ketogenic diet as an immunomodulator with respect to its expansive clinical applications." mdpi.com/2673-5601/3/1/1
In my Brain Fog Recovery Program, one of the lessons goes into some very basic brain immunology and discusses how chronic illness affects neuroinflammation, which then impairs vagus nerve function and digestion, and microbiome. It's all connected.

🧵 An absolutely fascinating talk by William Gunning @Dysautonomia conf - Innate Immune system Activation in PoTS. A complex topic made easy to understand by a Prof in pathology & it makes a lot of sense to me, it’s like seeing another puzzle piece! Here’s some interesting
2/points:
Platelets are very important in innate immunity & homeostasis (still being debated)
Platelets have over 400 biochemicals!
Serotonin is produced in the gut & pooled in platelets for delivery around the body (outside of CNS 99% of serotonin is in the platelets)
3/Symptoms of low seratonin are commonly seen in PoTS
Platelets secrete a number of pro-inflammatory cytokines & chemokines
All cells secrete chemicals that recruit inflammatory cell response
Dr Gunning has done some studies:

HEPATITIS AGUDA INFANTIL de origen desconocido

¿Realmente la está causando el #Adenovirus F41? 🧐

Hay algunos puntos a considerar. Va mi opinión al respecto🧵👇🏼

1/15

#HepatitisAgudaInfantil
Hace un mes (15Abr22) nos enteramos de que Reino Unido 🇬🇧 estaba reportando un incremento inusual en los casos de #hepatitis de origen desconocido en pacientes pediátricos, especialmente en l@s más jóvenes

Después otros países empezaron a reportar lo mismo (tot: 169 casos)

2/15
La presentación clínica, es decir, la manera en la que el personal médico identifica la enfermedad👩🏻‍⚕️, es una #HepatitisAguda (el surgimiento rápido de inflamación en el hígado) con una elevación muy pronunciada 📈 en los niveles de proteínas provenientes de ese órgano¹

#2 B-COMPLEX/MULTI VITAMIN. Buy a liposomal or other form that increases bio-availability. Take 1 capsule w/Breakfast and Lunch. If you have stomach upset, try sublingual (under tongue) EZ Melt B-Complex in AM & Multi w/iron for Dinner. amazon.com/Liposomal-Meth…
#3 OMEGA 3s. Fish Oil, Krill Oil, Algae Oil are all good sources of Omega 3. Be careful the EPA/DHA ratio. EPA helps with inflammation/DHA helps with cognition. You need both! Opt for a 1:1 or 2:1 ratio of DHA to EPA (2:1 ratio eg. 800 DHA/400EPA) amazon.com/3Care-Concentr…

Debunk on the #pfizerdocuments . They mean nothing. I’ll tell you why. But first here is the link to the original paper:
phmpt.org/wp-content/upl…
If you read them, You will find 42.086 #notifications concerning possible side-effects and a checklist of possible adverse-effects which #Pfizer looks for in the trials (starts page 30)
These adverse-effects are different then side-effects. They haven’t happened, are only mentioned as things to look out for and prove that #Pfizer is thorough in their #testing and #research.

Me pidieron hilos sobre inmuno básica así que va lo básico de lo básico...

¿DE DÓNDE SALIÓ EL SISTEMA INMUNITARIO HUMANO? 🧐

Nuestro sistema de defensa es exquisitamente complejo, esta complejidad se desarrolló a lo largo de millones de años y continúa evolucionando

🧵👇🏼

1/19
Aclaración inicial: el ser humano moderno tiene por mucho 300mil años de existencia¹ (referencias al final del 🧵), menciono millones de años de evolución porque el sistema inmunitario no apareció con nosotros, sino con nuestros ancestros 🌍

2/19

#Evolution #ImmuneSystem
De hecho, la inmunidad adaptativa surgió hace aprox 400 millones de años con los placodermos²

En fin…definamos de manera general 2 conceptos: evolución y genes

La evolución biológica se refiere al cambio constante q presentan las distintas especies a lo largo del tiempo

Excelentes noticias 🥳

Un equipo de investigación encontró que las células T de memoria generadas con las #VacunasCovid19 son capaces de reconocer a las variantes del #SARSCoV2 desde #Alpha hasta #Omicron*

Les cuento qué significa esto 🧵👇🏼

1/14

*doi.org/10.1016/j.cell…
Las #vacunas hacen que nuestro sistema inmunitario produzca dos tipos de células, los linfocitos B y T

Los linfocitos B (o células B) son los encargados de producir los #anticuerpos

2/14

#ImmuneSystem
Los linfocitos T (o #células T) interactuan ya sea con otras células del sistema inmunitario (ejemplo, #macrófagos) para potenciar su respuesta a la infección, o con las células infectadas para eliminarlas

A los primeros se les conoce como CD4+ y a los segundos como CD8+

It is very important in this period of humanity to take a serious look at what is happening in the world friends.

Watch this video first in its entirety & reflect upon current situations critically.

#Menticide is here & with it, a new attempt to establish a "#TechnoTotalitarian" rule over the lives of American citizens.

The final variant of #Coronavirus could very well be the manifestation of a #NewWorldOrder under #totalitarian rule.
That may sound absurd, but what is very concerning is that many talking heads in the media & even public figures are now making very carefully worded emotional appeals to logic to further induce a totalitarian #masspsychosis.

When we talk of Immunity we mean that our body has the resistance to fight or is impervious to a external threat. In the biological context it means we can fight of an organism.1/n

The organism that we currently are interested in is the #SARS_CoV_2 virus 🦠 and it’s variants. Anything that helps us boost our immune system for that is a #ImmunityBooster 2/n
@happygoel4 @imacuriosguy @ChaitanyaD2020 @Apoxipril @docyrh @dr_syedfurqan @Mohan02523702 @meetKool
It means when #SARSCoV2 virus 🦠 enters our body we have a immune system that is prepared to take on the virus and reduce its effect over us. Remember the virus is getting into our body and is in our system. Our #Immunity needs a #ImmunityBooster to fight back. 3/n

1/ A: Celebrate the mild #flu season & take what we have learned this year to inform future behavior. Harmful germs are not going away. 🦠 Illness from bacteria & viruses that make us sick do not “strengthen” the #immune system & contribute to significant complications & death. Image
2/ The lack of infectious illnesses will not #weaken your #immunesystem. Public health measures to combat #COVID19 including social distancing, masks, & extra hand washing greatly reduced the incidence of some bad microbes that cause common infectious illnesses such as the flu.
3/ More than 15,000 US deaths attributed to the #flu were averted this year. Other common viruses, like rhinoviruses, did not decrease as consistently. #Bacteria & #viruses that cause illness will continue to exist. go.nature.com/2OxkiUv

#Immunity & #Vaccines
Will try to explain with #GIF's

What is Immunity?
Your Immune system will attack anything unfamiliar. This could be bacteria, virus, fungus or anything it identifies as foreign

When #coronavirus AKA #thevirus infects, our body attacks in two stages
The #firststage is the general response. This is common to any foreign body entering us. Various chemicals are secreted to not only destroy the #thevirus but also to initiate the second stage.

This #firststage is called #Innateimmunity
The #secondstage needs some time to build, as its specific to that particular #thevirus. It takes time because the body needs to figure out which part of the #thevirus to attack & what's needed to attack it. This takes around 6-8 days.

This 2nd stage is #Adaptiveimmunity
