LOOSE JOINTS, HYPERMOBITY? Gravity is at play in these women with tissue variations. When joint are unstable the obvious compensation is “gorilla” muscles to take over lax ligament efforts. A wise Physical Therapist is key. Lots of dedicated exercise also. LOOSE JOINTS INHERITED (-15% women) is normal. These woman’s have easier births & indigo-smart children. These women are often quite attractive and smart.

HYPOPERFUSION? Yes, maybe sympathetic nervous system dominance + decreased pituitary vasopressin causing excess free water elimination in urine ⏩️ decreased blood circulation of hyperosmolar blood. COVID-CAUSED decreased blood volume of blood that is too thick might explain orthodtstic hypotension, POTS. Might also explain the wormy blood clots.

TO BE GAY ON NOT, THE QUESTION? In ancient days of the mid last century, the proper medical terminology was “homosexual”. Homo is a Greek prefix for “man” such as used in our species name, homosapiens, I think. Along the way a new adjective/noun, a euphemism, was created, “gay”. “GAYNESS” might be adverb. I don’t know, grammar not my long suit. In any case, Anthropologist of last century seemed to be of consensus that a fixed ~15% of the population was homosexual as a transcultural genetic characteristic of homosapiens. Indeed, genes direct hormones.

MCAS & COVID: MCAS IN LONG COVID: is possibly etiologic via biomechanisms known about MCAS, HYPERMOBILITY (HS) & FIBROMYALGIA (FM). Persons with HS & FM commonly suffer MCAS. Reason has been theorized that mast cells reside proximate connective tissue.

IC CAUSE DISCOVERED: for years clinicians have been mystified by etiology of IC. Genes, microbes, toxins, & biochemistry have failed to provide insights. IC oft occurs in women who have Hypermobility Syndrome and/or IBS. These circumstances suggest that IC is a dysautonomia. IC A DYSAUTONOMIA? parasympathetic part of autonomic system stimulates smooth tissues of bladder & bowel to contract/evacuate those organs. Over activity of this neural network is unmeasurable, as yet, in current medical sciences. Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.

IRRITABLE BOWEL SYNDROME: doctors will tell you the cause is “unknown”. This is not true. IBS is commonly found in women either Hypermobility Syndrome. Reason is that these women are prone to pelvic girdle injuries and ligament laxity of one of the sacroiliac joints. IBS & HYPERMOBILITY SYNDROME: This association well known in medical circles. Some of these women have regular daily frequent loose stools. Some have intermittent episodes of several days of constipation. Another set of these women have alternating constipation and loose stools.

CRUEL INSURANCE SYSTEM?: beyond cruel. Big Insurance-Big Medicine conglomerates have captured biggest capitalism prize, control of medical care/promise of patients’ salvation from dreaded diseases. Shift costs/income to businessmen & refuse honest wages to Physicians. Legit! BIG INSURANCE CAPTURE: enlist BIG PHARMA & BIG ACADEMIC RESEARCH to decide what patentable chemicals “work” to “properly” tinker body Systems. Enlist BIG GOVERNMENT to mandate “proven” patentable toxic chemicals & outlaw natural nutriceuticals.

BLOOD BRAIN BARRIER: weakness at this physiological junction might be a major measure of LONG COVID etiology. The key will be to discover what correlates or even causes these markers to manifest abnormalities. ASTROCYTE MARKER ABNORMALITIES IN LONG COVID? If these measurements were to be demonstrated to be certain markers, then physiologic culprits should be sleuthed in patients who have these marker abnormalities. Candidate poisons ?…..

MAST CELLS, MICROBIOTA, AND NERVES: Hypermobility Syndrome is correlated with Mast cell degranulation. There is evidence for connective tissue hyperplasticity ⏩️ neural stretch & degranulation of Mast cells. This seems to be a “chicken-or-egg first” dynamic. IBS IS CORRELATED WITH HYPERMOBILITY SYNDROME: why would nature conserve frequent IBS intestinal flushing? Perhaps it is biological mechanism to maintain an optimal microbiota via Mast cell degranulation to preserve microbiota/metabolite stew best for brain health…

TBI HEALING WITH LIGHT FREQUENCY AND EMF: what, why, how, when. Quantum biology transcends anachronistic precepts of the currently fashionable centralized medicine static models of gene-driven biochemical systems. “ENERGY MEDICINE” is the title of my book and a compilation of my clinical medical research and data published in 1986. Inspirations for my work came from my studies of Acupuncture and the work of Dr. Norgier, Neurologist in Lyon France, discoverer of Auricular Medicine.

BACK PAIN, MIR SCANS, AND TREATMENT: this excellent patient-friendly thread is a wonderful resource. Academic medical literature reminds us that 13-30% of chronic low back pain is generated by dysfunctional sacroiliac joints, which were not discussed in this review. SACROILIAC JOINT PAIN: is generated from sacroiliac joints, which at 17 cm squared each, are the largest joints in the axial spine. The massive ligaments that tether this joint are often chronically injured in humans, wherein upright posture is made possible by these joints.

FIBROMYALGIA (FM) & MEN: men w. Hypermobility Syndrome (HS) ~1/100 & women ~1/15; genetic. HS potentiates FM by ⏩️ pelvic girdle instability (PGI). Women get PGI via childbirth & mundane lift/slip/fall injuries. Male (robust bones/ligaments) ⏩️ PGI d/t severe mechan. injury. FIBROMYALGIA: loose & dysfunctional pelvic girdle (injured sacroiliac joint) ⏩️ tilted pelvis, functional scoliosis, tilted spine, tilted shoulders & head ⏩️ chronic widespread spastic painful muscles ⏩️ sedentary ⏩️ weaker & more spastic/pained muscles; self begetting.

DEMENTIA & COVID-19 IN THE AGED: matrix studies found association. Not reported was vaccine status of those studied. Being aged suggested that subjects were repeatedly vaccinated with mRNA vaccines. Recent studies have reported more COVID-19 infections amongst those vaccinated. Clinical analysis of mRNA COVID vaccines has commonly found Roundup toxic, from animal gelatin, a vaccine stabilizer. Gelatin comes from animal bones, & animals eat grains. Roundup is used to treat growing grains. So why is this important?….

@ShaneyWright LONG COVID CONSEQUENCES: medical history reminds us that viruses novel to human societies wreak havoc. COVID-19 is novel. Until majority of humans gain natural immunity, the virus will prosper & gain victims. When susceptible hosts remit, the virus will fade away. @ShaneyWright Virus endogenous genes & the single virus “gene” inserted in mRNA “vaccine” birth “spike” protein toxin that attacks human tissues. Vaccine is more potent than natural virus & creates much more toxin, which is ongoing for unknown time. No spike “turn off” switch put in vaccine!

LONG COVID & HYPERMOBILITY: vascular disorders associated, just as are aneurysms (Marfans) and laxity of connective tissue in heart that manifests as Mitral Valve Prolapse; with resultant panic attacks, Hyperventilation, & POTS. COVID & VASCULAR INJURY: recent medical literature shows spike protein is severe arterial endothelial toxin. Additionally, cytotoxic storms from COVID-19 virus induce release of platelet tsunamis from replete lung mediastinum megakaryocytes with undoubted arterial consequences.

EXERCISES FOR ME, CFS, LONG COVID, FIBROMYALGIA: the “spoon theory” used with FM illustrates energy depletion with activity. The failure of graded exercises with ME/CFS & “crashes” illustrates energy depletion in those disorders. There is explanation for those failures. EXERCISE FAILURES: persons with FM, ME/CFS & LONG COVID have lost muscle strength to confront gravity. Weak muscles cannot obtain enough oxygen to function lifting the body. Weak & spastic muscles hurt. A mere 2 weeks of bed rest can seriously degrade muscle tone.

LONG COVID AUTONOMIC DYSFUNCTION & HYPERMOBILITY, CAUSALITY SOLVED: unstable joints ▶️ impingement of autonomic plexi shoulders & pelvis ▶️ DYSAUTONOMIAS (POTS, IBS, IC, UC, & etc) ▶️ sedentariness ▶️ weak spastic muscles ▶️ FM, CFS, ME ▶️ weaker 🔼 spastic muscles ⏫️ O2 burn. LONG COVID AUTONOMIC DYSFUNCTION & HYPERMOBILITY, CAUSALITY SOLVED: this physiologic process is self begetting. Mitochondria starvation ensues. Generalized pain from spastic weak muscles begets weak body tower & ⏫️ DYSAUTONOMIAS. UC, C, IBS, IC = dysfunctions w/o known causes.

@stkirsch COVID: genetic and physiologic predispositions. I have read that those who died in the hospital had a Vitamin D level average less than 50. The level relates to sun exposure and skin tones. Persons with dark skin are evolutionarily crafted for equatorial sun intensities. @stkirsch COVID AND THE SUN: the first study to determine, ever, how much hormone Vitamin D is generated endogenously in humans was only done ~2 years ago. It was actually not an easy physiological phenomenon to figure out. A significant arm of the study was done in Hawaii…

@acweyand @DrDeaRoberts FEMALES IRON DEFICIENT? Yes, by male standards. Yet males enter oxidative stress zones, arteriosclerosis, and myocardial infarction in their 50’s. Iron when oxidized is a free radicle promoter. Women do not trend to heart attacks until 10-20 years later. @acweyand @DrDeaRoberts Monthly menses unload woman from harmful iron burdens. I used to take care of long term nursing home patients. They were mostly little old ladies with anemia. Does a modest iron load provide longevity benefits? That is my medical opinion. Less oxidative stress.

I was there in S.F., and following the AIDS epidemic. I treated suffers in S.F. & L.A. with natural therapies. I wrote “AIDS Inc.” with Jon Rappaport about Dr. Fauci & this scandal. Ft. Detrick, Maryland, was a major venue for construction of this 1980’s bio-weapon. My data… I treated many AIDS patients, collected data, wrote “Healing AIDS Naturally, Natural Therapies for the Immune System”, wherein I recounted stories of AIDS “survivors” (1986). I organized three major Symposia in S.F. & L.A., “Advanced Immune Discoveries Symposia” (1985). AZT 😱
