6 Ways to Lower Your Dementia Risk
Neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s dementia. Lewy Body Dementia and Parkinson’s disease are associated with the accumulation of abnormal proteins in the brain. Beta-amyloid and tau proteins in Alzheimer’s dementia, alpha-synuclein in Parkinson’s disease, and Lewy Body dementia disease can accumulate in the brain and later affect brain function because of their toxic functions. Alzheimer’s disease…
Know the Absolute Risk Reduction of the COVID-19 Vaccines! Part 1
Addendum October 23, 2021: A new article about the Pfizer Booster shot can be read here: The Absolute Risk Reduction of the Pfizer Biontech Booster Shot The absolute risk reduction of the COVID-19 Vaccines are: Pfizer–BioNTech – 0.84 % Moderna – 1.2 % Gamaleya (Sputnik) – 0.93 %, J&J – 1.2 % AstraZeneca – 1.3…
Sleeping on Your Side can Prevent Dementia
The brain produces toxins and abnormal proteins like beta-amyloid and tau protein during its activity. If these proteins are not cleared, they can create plaques and neurofibrillary tangles in the brain that lead to neurodegenerative diseases like dementia. An NIH study showed one night of sleep deprivation increases the β amyloid burden in the right…
The Spike Protein of the SARS-CoV-2 Can Cause Vascular Damage
This article features a study that showed that the spike protein alone of the SARS-CoV-2 causes vascular damage. The study, SARS-CoV-2 Spike Protein Impairs Endothelial Function via Downregulation of ACE 2, has been peer-reviewed and published at Circulation Research on April 30, 2021. The SARS-CoV-2 is the cause of the COVID-19 pandemic. The SARS-CoV-2 uses…
Myocarditis and the COVID vaccine
Inflammation of the heart muscles or myocarditis has been reported in people who have received the COVID vaccine. The Jerusalem Post reported a 19-year old who experienced accelerated heartbeat after receiving the second dose, along with shortness of breath and sharp pains radiating down his left arm. In another report about myocarditis leaked to the Jerusalem…
What is Your Risk of Dying from COVID-19 for your Age Group?
A study published in the Annals of Internal Medicine from the Indiana University, Infection Fatality Ratios for COVID-19 Among Noninstitutionalized Persons 12 and Older, answered that question. The Infection fatality rate (IFR) is the number of people who die among those who have COVID infections. IFR = (COVID Deaths / COVID Infections) People who live…
This Study shows Ten Fold risk of Developing Blood Clots after the COVID Vaccines.
A new preprint study of 513 284 patients looked at the risk of developing cerebral venous thrombosis among patients who a. had COVID-19, b. people who had the Pfizer and Moderna COVID-19 vaccine, and c. those who did not have the COVID-19 and its vaccine. Cerebral venous thrombosis or CVT is when blood clots form…
LINE 1 can make Spike mRNA become part of the Human DNA
Addendum: Jan 24, 2023. Since this article’s release, the research has been published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. Why is this article relevant? Knowing that the RNA of the SARS-CoV-2 virus can combine with human genes provides a deeper understanding of the COVID-19 disease. How do we know that SARS-CoV-2 can…
Exercise and Peripheral Artery Disease
This article is about how Peripheral Artery disease. What it is, why it happens, what the effects are, and what to do about it. Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) is the hardening of the arteries that supply the legs. It is part of the more systemic problem, Peripheral Vascular Disease (PVD), which is the hardening and…
You got the COVID shot and found that others developed blood clots. Now what?
Millions worldwide have received the COVID-19 vaccines by now. Recently, there were reports that several countries, including Sweden, Latvia, Germany, Italy, France, Spain, Denmark, Norway, and The Netherlands, halted the use of the AstraZeneca COVID vaccine due to the development of blood clots. Investigations are currently ongoing to see if there are a cause and…
Blood Clot formation after COVID Vaccination
This article is about blood clot formation after getting the COVID-19 vaccination. In recent news, from DW, Deutsche Welle, Denmark, Iceland and Norway have stopped administering the shot while Italy has banned the use of a batch of AstraZeneca doses as a precaution after an unconfirmed number of people developed blood clots. According to the…
Deadly Autoimmune Antibodies
There have been 1,381 deaths reported after COVID-19 immunization. The deaths from December 2020 until March 1, 2021, are reported on The Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS). According to VAERS, To date, VAERS has not detected patterns in the cause of death that would indicate a safety problem with COVID-19 vaccines. Over 76 million…
COVID-19, Autoimmunity and Vaccination Part 3
This article dives deeper into the similarities between the proteins of the SARS-CoV-2 virus and the human body. These are important to know since these similarities can lead to autoimmune diseases during COVID-19 or following vaccination for COVID-19. Autoimmune Disease associated with COVID-19 The COVID-19 illness caused the following autoimmune diseases in some patients. Kawasaki-like…
The I-MASK+ for the Prophylaxis and Early Treatment Protocol of COVID-19
July 9, 2022 update: The FLCCC Early Treatment Protocol is now The FLCCC I-CARE Early COVID Treatment Protocol July 5, 2022 update. The FLCCC updated its Prevention Protocol. It is all at The I-PREVENT COVID Protection Protocol. This article updates the MATH+ protocol discussed in— The MATH+ Protocol Results in Greater Survival in Hospitalized COVID-19 Patients. The…
COVID-19, Autoimmunity and Vaccination Part 2
This article can develop an autoimmune disease when antibodies originally directed against the SARS-CoV-2 virus attack human proteins. This is concerning because anyone who got sick with COVID-19 or those who get vaccinated with the COVID-19 vaccine may have a theoretical possibility to develop autoimmune diseases. Barebones Immune Response The way we develop immunity towards…
60% may already have Immunity to COVID-19
This article talks about the presence of immunity against COVID-19 in as much as 60% of the population, even if they have not been exposed to the SARS-CoV-2 virus. There are 7 types of human coronaviruses or HCoV. Four of them are common. The 229E, NL63, OC43, and HKU1. The other two, MERS and SARS,…
Molecular Mimicry between the SARS-CoV-2 and the Breathing Center
This article talks about one possible cause of respiratory arrest in people exposed to the SARS-CoV-2 virus or antigens. A previous article, COVID-19, Autoimmunity, and Vaccination, discussed molecular mimicry between the spike protein of the SARS-CoV-2 and humans’ genetic makeup. As you probably know, the SARS-CoV-2 virus causes COVID-19. Molecular similarities between SARS-CoV-2 and humans can…
COVID-19, Autoimmunity and Vaccination, Part 1
Autoimmunity is the condition where the body’s immune system attacks itself. The immune system loses its controlled and measured response to germs and becomes uncontrolled. Many factors cause autoimmunity, and viruses are one of them. A few of these viruses are the Human T- cell leukemia virus, type 1, Herpes virus-6, Hepatitis A and C…
The Benefits of Exercise for Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease or COPD is the third leading cause of death in the world. It is a devastating disease that leads to poor quality of life. Due to shortness of breath, people with COPD limit their physical activity. As a consequence, the muscle mass gets smaller and leads to more weakness. There are…
