COVID-19 IMMUNE SUPRESSION? COVID-19 has a genetic segment identical to HIV & which in HIV infection facilitates human cell attack & destruction of T-4 lymphocytes with CD-4 receptors. Whether same cells are destroyed by COVID-19 (kills lymphocytes) has not yet been studied.
Some scientists speculate that infection with COVID-19 might have long-term consequences for immune system functions. Only time will tell. It is certainly a time to maximize immune system functioning through diet.
IMMUNE SYSTEM STRENGTH is a direct function of dietary choices. The evidence is in. Overburdening the body with concentrated sugars actually changes the status of genes that control strength of the immune system.
Concepts herein were alerted by, “Frontiers | Insulin Signaling and Insulin Resistance Facilitate Trained Immunity in Macrophages Through Metabolic and Epigenetic Changes” | Immunology frontiersin.org/articles/10.33..
Macrophages are at the front lines destroying microbes (including COVID-19). Health of macrophages is related to the prevalence of insulin resistance in the body. Over time, excess sugars degrade ability of body cells to respond to insulin & growth hormone.
