Was it a week later? My 97 year old mom had the gastric reflux that got in the lungs. I packed everything we needed. She walked an hour a day; it wasn’t her heart. The ER was ready to send her home. But her O2 sat dropped to 86…and then came back up to 96 - as happens with GERD. But it was Friday night and no one at the hospital filled out the forms to persuade the prison gang to send the truck with an oxygen tank.

Multisystems Covid-19 seems to confuse doctors. New variants hit 5 organs at a time instead of 2 organs. After five years, for the first time, I’m losing loved ones. At age 52 my office manager had the Covid strain in November that turned on a garden hose of acid reflux. Acid micro-drips in the lungs led to his first-ever chest pain. What’s the right dose of pantoprazole? After his quadruple bypass surgery his kidney transplant failed.

Did anyone else catch the vicious 24-72 hour entire GI tract virus infection? What a load of terrible acid & near-total loss of esophageal/gastrointestinal motility! Trouble swallowing & acid in the lungs. Finally I took 40 mg hydrocortisone, famotidine, prucalopride & colonic tx We discovered today that 30-second squeeze of the spleen emptied enough volume that the liver was able to dump more acid congestion and even helped the lungs clear during prucalopride 1 mg augmented colonic hydrotherapy.

Covid-24 Physical Exam: Day 9 since onset of headache, congestion, extreme fatigue, nausea, ache all over, shortness of breath. Day 5 on Paxlovid: Both Kidneys swollen & tender. Spleen very enlarged & very hard. Lungs & ribcage tight. Left skull hard. Left neck & brainstem stiff. What is new about Covid in August 2024? The combination of hard splenomegaly with two severely swollen kidneys.

Here’s a nice description of advances in understanding the CSF and glymphatic system of the brain from details. It misses the main function of CSF in distributing endorphins from the third ventricle. science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… In covid-19 the meninges are swollen with inflammatory junk that has clogged the meningeal lymphatics and overflowed.

@holmanm Statins block maturation of oligodendrocyte precursor cells and block myelination and repair of white matter fiber bundles throughout the brain. @holmanm This is a disaster for emotional self regulation through the uncinate fasciculus connecting the temporal lobe to the frontal lobe.

Here’s support for my ‘Myelin-Meltdown’ theory of myalgic encephalitis with cranio-cervical instability: “Sphingolipids (are) involved in…inflammation, cellular differentiation, regeneration, aging (&) musculoskeletal cells…The results of this study showed a dysregulation in sphingolipid metabolism, that could be associated with the reported symptoms: fatigue and muscular pain.” ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P… During and after neuronal inflammation and damage the sphingolipids are UP in serum levels but DOWN where they are needed for repair of the brain. The loss of elasticity is palpable in the brain and skull.

From Eric Topol: ACTH should increase if cortisol is low, but it didn’t, which tells us the Long Covid individuals have a hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis (HPA) dysfunction. Low cortisol has been noted previously with chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) but this is the first report to reinforce its potential importance as an underpinning of Long Covid. But the basis for HPA dysfunction is unclear. Is it part of the neuroinflammatory process that can be a sequelae of a Covid infection? It should have been obvious to doctors that know anatomy that spike glycoprotein penetrated and glued shut adrenal fenestrations, hypothalamic fenestrations, and vagal nerve fenestrations at the brainstem.

You bring your PET scan. I'll bring my hands. To stop microglial inflammation and restore brain health minocycline must be distributed into the regions of post-inflammatory contraction. Your PET can't do that. jamanetwork.com/journals/jamap… Do you take a pill to fix a broken leg? What makes you think that minocycline alone will fix the brain? Monthly osteopathic cranial therapy, clemastine for oligodendrocyte myelin regeneration, sphingomyelin to bring/align new neurons, boromycin to chop spike protein polymers.

@Yash25571056 Spike protein is long-lived in the body. It can form sheets around organs and stiffen organ substructure and connective tissue. It affects collagen, hemoglobin, actin, myosin & 24 other important proteins other than the ACE2 protein. @Yash25571056 We have never had meningitis and bilateral temporal lobe inflammation in the brain in children at the same time. Every wave of Omicron penetrates the brain and causes demyelination. The brain glymphatic system is blocked by persistent meningeal thickening.

@DrMaureenHanson @Snipperspace @cstroeckw @Tempi_Stiftung It is not the family line of the virus. It is whether viral protein clogs the lymphatics at the base of the occiput. Clogged occiput increase intracranial heat. Inflamed myelin burns through the lymphatic plug. Then the muscle burn attacks the cervico-cranial ligaments. @DrMaureenHanson @Snipperspace @cstroeckw @Tempi_Stiftung After that ... the brain sags without the support of the cerebellum and the elasticity of the myelinated 'bungee cords' of the cerebellar peduncles.

"Viruses may be phagocytosed to different degrees by ...leukocytes and macrophages. The effect of phagocytosis may be virus inactivation, persistence, or multiplication; consequently, the result may be clearance of virus, transportation to distant sites, or enhanced infection." This is from Chapter 49 of Medical Microbiology 4th edition. Let's start over on the question "How well do white blood cells destroy Spike Protein?"

@loscharlos @ahandvanish Sphingomyelin is the molecule that coordinates regeneration of regions of the brain. Freeze-dried glandular "sphingolin" and "grassfed beed brain" were the only products I could find in 2021. If you want to test something for long-covid that you don't have to wait for ... @loscharlos @ahandvanish I had a mild but annoying vaccination reaction that crossed the blood/csf barrier and implanted in the medial wall of the left lateral ventricle. The inflammation filled the lateral ventricle then dropped down to the third and fourth venticle.

These White Matter Scans are what I asked Peter Marks MD - FDA Director of Vaccines - to study on 20 patients before final approval of MRNA Vaccines. Spike Protein Causes Myelin Meltdown. Red means 'Trouble'. I see frontal lobe and heavy subcortical damage.

Surprise! Spike Protein creates magnetic misfolding of protein in the brain. What do you think spike is trying to do to collagen protein polymer? Feel it 'Fold' and 'Twist' and 'Shrink'. ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P… "It Takes A Polymer To Beat a Polymer." Our Collagen can throw Spike Polymer to 'the mat' if we lend a hand. Spike polymer assemblies can be disassembled to restore organ health. But then we must help our body chop the individual spikes - & blow them up in white blood cells.

Robert Naviaux creates a symphony of science with flute sections of references culminating in a horn section of mitochondrial phases orchestrating a newly-named phrase for recovery. It is a masterpiece set against a backdrop of a toxic era. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37120082/ Like every great synthesis created in the mind of a philosopher-biologist-psychiatrist it misses the hands-on grit of Dr. Andrew Still who brought us back to basics: makes sure the artery, nerve, and vein leading in and out of every organ is not obstructed. Wiggle & Slide.

Surprise! Covid incubates in the mucus and goblet cells of the small intestine indefinitely- and seeds spike and virus to the liver and throughout the body. presse.inserm.fr/en/covid-long-… Try palpating. The right small intestine stays swollen longer. Peristalsis is inhibited by spike binding actin beneath the microvilli. The portal circulation lifts the infection snd spike up to the uppef right liver.

Foolishness to call for retrospective symptom report from children instead of examining children by palpating their hot, swollen lateral ventricles, bulging skulls, and swollen livers during Omicron BA.1. jpeds.com/article/S0022-… The lateral ventricles in 90% of children I examined were swollen from 'horn' shape to cylinders and stayed hot for 8 weeks. From 8 to 12 weeks the walls of the ventricles were thickened as they shrank and twisted. Frontal lobe demyelination followed.

New wave of Covid, likely Omicron XBB.1.16, should give Long-Covid clinics a reason to examine their patients. Palpate LIVER, KIDNEYS & BRAIN to follow how long crucial Organs stay swollen. Sequelae of acute covid infection are determined by the long-lasting effects on specific organs in specific time periods .

Loss-of-function mutation in Omicron variants reduces spike protein expression and attenuates SARS-CoV-2 infection | bioRxiv biorxiv.org/content/10.110… Did I predict spike structure mutation changes? Hmmm. Lab research doesn't show the changes in the 'Propeller' region (moving loops in the 'chaotic' regions. And it doesn't consider the hydrodynamics of changing the shape of the 'prow' of the boat. Or oligomer patterns.

Four child patients and one adult this week with swollen, stuck, hot kidneys and cranial meningeal heat all across the top of the head. So I think these may be the pathognomonic signs of some new variant. Kidney swelling has not been an early-onset sign in other waves. Put a hand under the bottom ribs all the way medial to the spinal column. Then push your fingers up toward the head one inch more. The heat will come down into your fingerpads and define the kidney shape. And it won't wiggle much. But try 3 vectors and wait 5 minutes - with… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
