If a chemical raised the risk of MS 32x, schizophrenia 7x, and heart attacks 6x after exposure, it'd be banned. When viruses do it, it’s not just accepted but encouraged. By normalizing infections, we normalize the lifetime risk of neurodegeneration, heart disease, and cancer.
Came across this summary that pulls together some of the recent findings on the links between commonplace (including ostensibly "harmless") pathogens and long-term harm to human health. The war on infectious diseases is far from over!

Have you (or someone you know) been having any problems with your eyes since having a Covid infection? 👁️ 👁️ If so, you might find this thread extremely interesting as it sheds some light on what might be happening beneath the surface. ⬇️
Stan Laurel said your eyes are the windows to your soul. I don't know about that, but I do know that your body is really complicated, but your eyes... yeah, your eyes are something else.

FND remains a diagnosis of exclusion. By definition, it can't be anything else. Something like Hoover's only confirms that a peripheral nerve pathway is intact. It doesn't prove what's causing the block in voluntary control.

In the instances where it fits, it would be more scientifically accurate for doctors to say they simply don't know.

I’d bet nearly any amount of money that widespread vaccines for “common” “benign” viruses would cause a large swath of hard to predict ancient illnesses to simply disappear
Stanford Medicine investigators and their colleagues have found that one of humanity’s most ubiquitous infectious pathogens bears the blame for lupus, the chronic autoimmune condition. https://t.co/bqFmVLYT3h

We are only now beginning to realize how problematic herpes viruses truly are. CMV is linked to Alzheimer’s, and EBV is linked to lupus. But COVID seems to be connected to almost every possible systemic disease🤷🏻♀️
A groundbreaking paper by @younis_sh1 et al. @stanfordimmuno provides an answer to the long-standing question about how EBV infections are linked to lupus. A short thread to explain the key findings. (1/) https://t.co/dUpz19IjEv

Saying this again Line between chronic disease & infectious disease is artificial HPV causes cervical cancer Increasingly looks like EBV may cause Multiple Sclerosis or even Lupus We need to refocus on new vaccines to prevent or even treat many chronic diseases
Epstein-Barr Virus, which is a trigger in certain B cell cancers, and has been previously implicated in multiple sclerosis, is now believed to be a causative factor in Lupus, raising the chance that we could reduce disease incidence through a vaccine. https://t.co/WgxSXs2xO5

EBV is implicated in other autoimmune diseases, including multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, Sjögren’s syndrome, as well as post-acute infection syndromes (Long COVID, ME/CFS) and malignancies. Vaccines and antivirals to block EBV are urgently needed. (end)

🚨If Covid infections could interfere with the way your body handles fats, you'd expect a massive jump in the number of episodes of hospital treatment for that problem. 🧵📈

This fascinating new paper compares the similarities between COVID & HIV/AIDS. Whilst the underlying mechanisms are different, they do share certain outcomes, eg. immune dysfunction, viral persistence & neurological disorders. Both are also marked by stigma & delayed response.

Cambridge scientists from the World Health Network reviewed over 200 studies and found that SARS-CoV-2 can cause immune dysfunction, chronic inflammation, and accelerated aging which parallels HIV in key ways, though it remains distinct. https://t.co/pmsCIOtdzX

COVID-19 caused by SARS-CoV-2 is often compared to other pandemics for its societal and global health impact, with some commentators drawing parallels to HIV/AIDS due to the immune dysfunction caused...

Another article came out that is suggesting that ventilation doesn’t work in classrooms. Does it actually showthat? No. Does it find out anything new? Also, no. Straw Man Science? Most definitely. Let’s get into this 🧵

Detoxing heavy metals is imperative for everyone due to the many sources of them in our environment. Dr. Clark's two supplement kit has cilantro, EDTA, Shilajit and more to detox heavy metals, and an accompanying mineral supplement to restore lost minerals from cleansing.
