That monoclonal antibodies and/or convalescent plasma was used in this scenario was a bizarre development from the beginning. The only precedent I am aware of in infectious disease is in the event of potential rabies exposure. The last I knew, rabies had one recorded survivor, and that individual would have been better off not surviving. We use anti-D to prophylax pregnant Rh- women, because sensitization during pregnancy with a Rh+ infant is nearly 100% fatal to the infant. Two scenarios with clear risk/benefit. We otherwise use mAb therapy for cancer patients. If any of you all know of other common monoclonal antibody therapies, please educate us.

They have been pushing monoclonals to treat basically everything that is even slightly "hard" to treat. I have lost count on how many conditions now have Phase 2, 3 or basically approved treatments by mAbs alone.

And now the evidence starts mounting that depending how you use, if has downstream effects.

Regarding failing memories......my friend is in a bad place with schizophrenia.doctors pumping him full of drugs.niacin helps him before but they wont allow him to mix drugs. Anyone got any insight?( Not medical advice obviously.)

My research suggests schiz patients have increased ROS and neuroinflamation and are Also deficient in gluthatione.

My thinking is he needs fasting lowcarb keto diet.tryptophan to raise gluthatione.and NMN (niacin)as a nad+ booster.

NAC, Piracetam if he can get it and the things you wrote at the end, that is what research has shown but also a couple of drugs are helpful too.
