This is wild — adding #LongCovid or #MECFS blood to healthy muscle tissue leads to mitochondrial and structural collapse. There must be something measurable in the blood?

@WithoutaMap2023 @simonmaechling The petition opposes reintroducing acetamiprid (banned in France since 2018), citing evidence of sublethal harm to bees (e.g., disrupted gut microbiota, reduced survival) and potential human risks like neurotoxicity. While EFSA deems it low-risk at approved doses, studies show…
'Deaths in Service' of NHS England staff were pretty consistent for years. Then Covid infections came. And the deaths increased. And then they kept increasing. #SicknoteBritain
A view from within open.substack.com/pub/withoutama…
When people ask, "are you any better?", they don't usually want a conversation about where you are and how bad it is..... They want a yes thanks, a bit, improving slowly, kind of response. Reactions to, "no, not really". Can be met with total disbelief ☹️
I have new found empathy for people with invisible long term illnesses. Looking out from within an illness is completely different to being on the outside looking in. If you haven't had the experience it's so difficult to make your illness understandable to others.
In the depths of Long COVID I didn't know whether I would ever be able to recover; Or if there would be lasting damage as a result of being ill for so long. That is very isolating and worrying... Even with brilliant support from my family I've never felt as alone
Confucius said, "if language is not correct, then what is said is not meant; If what is said is not what is meant, Then what ought to be done remains undone". I think this applies specifically to language we use to describe symptoms. Exhaustion and brain fog = very misleading
Ahead of today’s assisted dying Bill debate, I thought I’d do a thread of FALSE FACTS. You know… campaigning soundbites, PR spin. That come up again and again. And are persuasive… but wrong.
🧵1/7 🚨 New preprint alert with @dbkell and team! Our latest study explores Post-Vaccination/Post-Infection Syndrome (PV/PIS). We used plasma proteomics to uncover its immune & clotting abnormalities: It can be found at: 10.21203/rs.3.rs-6521005/v1
You saw it happen. Your child got sick - and everything changed. Speech slipped. Anxiety soared. The light dimmed. And no one could tell you why. Now a new study has quietly confirmed what you’ve known all along: The immune system can drive autistic symptoms. Researchers…
I’m a scientist. Every time I hit "post," I hesitate. Not because I doubt the science. But because I know what’s coming....1/
I often think how difficult it is to appreciate other people illness… I didn’t always think like this. I’m embarrassed to say that I was always sceptical of the long term, undiagnosed ill. substack.com/profile/170209…

Hey. Just in case you were wondering. Today. Like right now. Is “during Covid”.
The top benefits of nattokinase: ➡️ Regulate blood pressure ➡️ Boost gastrointestinal health ➡️ Eliminate blood clouds ➡️ Lower the risk of Alzheimer's ➡️ improve cardiovascular health ❤️
Maybe I’m late to this but this Egyptian study showing that Nattokinase and Serapeptase can impact multiple mechanisms of Alzheimer’s Disease in rat models is fascinating 1/ journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/09…
@jaxx681 I innerstand this frustration as someone that deals with reactive airway. During the convid, I grew my own mullein and smoked it. And discovered serapeptase which naturally reduced inflammation and safe enough to take regularly. Here’s a bit of info.
