I need to reply to e-mails and messages, be patient. A lot of work and other things pilled up while sick. Otherwise I hope everyone is good and wish you a good rest of the week.
This has happened to my daughter. Neither of us is vaccinated. She caught COVID in the fall of 2020. She never had to go to the hospital, but was fairly sick. Now in 2024 her lungs have still not recovered, and she still has a cough whenever her immune system is challenged. Never had any lung problems prior. Not a smoker or anything. I was around her when she was sick, but I never got COVID and still haven't.
She should consider, seriously consider, taking Serrapeptase (just Serra, not the others enzymes) and increase the dosage slowly for a while. That will improve 100% whatever level of fibrosis she may have in her lungs, then she can address endothelial health (olive leaf extract) and other things. Serra is really necessary here.
I would say serrapeptase is the basic first step to fight fibrosis in COPD, it would be considered the bare minimum, there are a few specific peptides that can help too, but serra truly is the minimum.
BPC is a very good one, but I was thinking about GHK-Cu, inhaled. A expert teach me this one, but serrapeptase needs to be used first, them peptides. Hope it helps. Signal is atrocious here so if I take long to reply, it is because of that.
I'm not vaxxed, have never smoked, and have had covid at least once (I think, but who knows, I dont test when I was sick). Unlike almost all people, I am supposed to undergo a yearly Spirometry test to maintain my Hazwoper certification to deal with hazardous substances. I'm in my mid-50s, and tests show my my lung function hasn't changed over the last 4 years. BUT, I do run road races (5k to marathons) and some of my same age "rivals" no longer can run as fast. We all know each other, so we know what to expect in race day, and a bunch of them have just slowed. Not sure if it is vaxx injury (I know one had leg clots, whoops!!) or decreased lung function or both. Regardless, things have changed for them, and not for the better.
Clots will inevitably lead to decrease cardiovascular, and lung function. Some of them are probably a mixture of both.
Initial vaccine damage, added with infection at some point. Not addressing these changes, excessive exertion will lead to little recovery rather than complete recovery.
Professor - "the virus and the mRNA-derived Spike Protein share similar mechanisms initially and at the end-point for the decrease in sperm quality and motility." But, that's not all you get...
A subtle reminder, spermatozoa are a source of reverse transcriptase mediated extrachromosomal information Mr. Mulder.
After my first bout with Covid in 2020 (the worst), I knew my lungs were struggling. So I bought the simple blow bottle and worked with it for a month to get back to my goal of functions of someone 10 years younger. I since had 3 more mild Covid infections (probably Omicron) and this post made me think of that blow bottle. Think I’ll check it out again. Thanks!
Have you seen this paper? Is there a difference between T-cell exhaustion and T-cell depletion?
"In summary, they identified enriched populations of CD4+ and CD8+ lymphocytes expressing markers of exhaustion (TIM-3)" after 12 mos from acute infection. Do you agree with the conclusion that it's T-cell exhaustion and not T-cell depletion? Ty!
T-Cell depletion -> Too many of them die or are removed for some reason
T-Cell exhaustion -> The T-cells don't have the same effect as before, they don't "kill" stuff as they used to.
No, I don't, T-Cell depletion is going on, not exhaustion, the manner most groups measure exhaustion is kinda retarded (now that I understand it better).
1. 1. "There is a Subgroup of patients with Long COVID/Chronic COVID in which the SARS COV2 infection persists indefinitely. The goal is to minimize the Viral Load for the virus to go into a state of Latency or Inactivity"
2. "LIFETIME VIRAL PERSISTENCE
Similar to HIV and Herpesvirus
SARS CoV-2 can persist for life
May cause symptoms = LongCOVID/ChronicCOVID Or remain Asymptomatic or Latent= Carrier of persistent viral infection
and often the person is unaware of it=Undiagnosed"
My questions are: is it possible that a lot of asymptomatic are carriers of "latent" sars-cov-2 and may reactivate at some point?
And does Keeping sars-cov-2 "latent"/asymptomatic for as long as possible is the best we can do? Ty!
As of right now, the number of carrier of latent SARS-CoV-2 are small, a lot of genetic tracking is done, and genetic trackers pick up the signals as well. We don't know how SARS-CoV-2 reactivate, but I have some well thought-out ideas on how.
In those persons, yes, the best we can do is keeping it latent as long as possible, similar to Herpesviruses.
HIV is not a latent infection, it is an active, life-long infection, it is a retrovirus.
I had 2x pfizer in 2021, first infection in 2022. It gave me severe long haul for a year which has mostly recovered. Considering getting a novavax booster now since I absolutely don't want to get reinfected, but concerned about spike pathology. If one of the underlying mechanisms for LC and vax long haul is the same, even getting a novavax booster might be a dice roll. What would you do?
The first infection is always the most rought one.
About which vaccine to get, this is exactly why I am so critical of the vaccines, because they don't stop transmission and they are not neutralizing, for the most part, and this is debatable among the brain washed on both sides, is how much it protects you. For the most part it stops you from developing severe disease in relation to Covid, with trade-offs of being suceptible to other infections for a while.
Depending on the type of Long Haul you had, yes, getting the NovaVax could be a small percentage dice roll.
Whenever someone asks me if they should take a vaccine or not, my answer doesn't change much. If you are older, immune compromised, have chronic health issues that impact your immune system (metabolic diseases such as diabetes), it is worth consideration getting NovaVax, but no mRNA. But bear in mind, at this point in time, there is no vaccine that will stop you from getting infected.
I personally favor "throwing in the kitchen sink" whenever I get the smallest sign of a sniffles. So far, most people will get infected which helps you develop a better immune response, but for some it is a dice roll too. Similar to Pfizer/Moderna, you can take some precautions when you get the NovaVax to minimize any potential side-effect too, another option.
Thanks for giving such a thoughtful response. I saw some data that vaccines can reduce risk of LC, though I'm not sure about the quality. And IIRC, the effect might be gone after suffering a first infection.
I'm otherwise pretty healthy (I considered myself a healthful person before LC hit) so it's not the acute severe disease that worries me. My infection was on par with a very heavy flu, the really intense LC symptoms didn't come on until 3 months later.
I did an informal poll on Reddit and FB and found out it's similar for lots of folks: 'mild' infection which is followed by a period of improvement, and the "true" LC only kicks in 2-3 months later. Which then lasts for anything from 6 months until.. forever?
r/ZeroCovidCommunity/ is interesting. Sometimes the tone is a bit excessive, but speculation about what society will be like in another 5-10 years of continual 'mild' reinfections with accumulating (auto)immunity/brain/organ damage for everybody really makes you think.
I have wrriten extensively about LC, so from my perspective, besides a small portion of Long Haulers, most LC cases are always brought up by the Hit and Run effect of SARS-CoV-2, there is always a secondary "thing" that creates the dysfunctional cascade leading to all the different symptoms.
The lag time of your LC symptoms indicate the same, either viral reactivation, or you got infected by something else, went without notice and the symptoms came in. Although SARS-CoV-2 or small pieces of it will persist in many LC, I don't think the vast majority experience this particular "thing".
Besides a very, very very very small percentage of people with very complex cases, most LC recovery, they just need to find what exactly is wrong and address it, which is time consuming, especially with the current crop of "geniuses" in Medicine, and also annoying since life quality takes a substantial hit.
I hold a similar perspective as the ZeroCovidian but not anywhere near as drastic. I think most people should address, at least minimally, some of the most common immune system boosters, and the vast majority of the planet will be fine, we recover completely until then "next one". Although, this is for as things stand right now, who knows where the winds and mutations may shift in the future.
From everything I know, I remain positive, somewhat hopeful. We can fix almost everything given enough time.
The observations I have made indicate that the more jabs you have had, the more often you now get sick. The fewer jabs you’ve had, the less you get sick. I’ve also had several
people have cancers that were previously in remission, roar back with a vengeance, turbo cancers. Anyone with auto immune issues and jabs—- their previous issues have gotten exponentially worse. I’ve had 5 people around me/feiends/relations give birth. Three of the 5 gave birth prematurely. Two were jabbed and one, I’m not sure of.
John Paul, you mention the many malformations and defects being witnessed right now. Do you have any links or articles on that? What are you seeing/hearing? I honestly haven’t heard anything about birth defects yet.
I need to reply to e-mails and messages, be patient. A lot of work and other things pilled up while sick. Otherwise I hope everyone is good and wish you a good rest of the week.
1st priority: take care of your health. You'll catch up.
Your sense of humor remains intact. :)

Came across this today. Thought I would share it in case it’s relevant.
I don't have a Twitter account.
Apologies. It’s the paper Pablo was so kind as to link. Will keep that in mind frim now on 😊

That's the paper mentioned
Thank you!

Does the serrapeptase to fight fibrosis also good for fibrosis in COPD? Or would that just destroy what little remaining alveolar tissue is left?
I would say serrapeptase is the basic first step to fight fibrosis in COPD, it would be considered the bare minimum, there are a few specific peptides that can help too, but serra truly is the minimum.
Thanks. You mention peptides. Is BPC-157 one of those that might be helpful here?
