Cool paper detailing what body sites, cell types, symptoms #COVID-19 has been connected to thus far 👉 But one thing: everyone knows that most persistent #viral (and #bacterial) pathogens are capable of #infecting/driving an equally extensive # of #symptoms, right?
2/ For example, in this interview, Dharam Ablashi (who co-discovered the #virus HHV6) explains how HHV6 has been shown capable of contributing to #cancers, type 1 #diabetes, Hashimoto’s, #MS, HPA-axis dysregulation, ME/CFS, Alzheimer’s, neuroinflammation..microbeminded.com/2020/06/28/int…
3/ ..and that the HHV6 can survive in
#microglia, astrocytes, macrophage, neurons/nerves, #pancreatic islet cells, the lung, gut epithelial cells, the #liver etc etc etc!
#microglia, astrocytes, macrophage, neurons/nerves, #pancreatic islet cells, the lung, gut epithelial cells, the #liver etc etc etc!
5/ B/c if you pool the chronic conditions/cancers now linked to persistent pathogen activity (involving HHV6, Epstein Barr Virus, HPV, hepatitis viruses, enteroviruses, #Borrelia, p.gingivalis etc), the collective suffering + cost to society is not far from COVID-19 (if not more)
6/ Moreover, underlying conditions now linked to persistent #pathogen activity in human tissue/#blood/central #nervous system...are conditions linked to poor #COVID-19 outcome. So the topics are connected, and the knowledge cld help us manage this and future #pandemics
