At the time MIS-C was discussed as Kawasaki like syndrome of COVID in children I became aware of some link to reappearing “inflammation” around the fully scarred BCG vaccine injection site ( Bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) is the live attenuated vaccine form of Mycobacterium bovis used to prevent tuberculosis and other mycobacterial infections.). Would be interesting to see a link between BCG and HERVs. Did not search.
On the practical side, I concluded that sufficient Vitamin D would prevent.
I don’t have the support at hand, but both links are easily found when searched specifically in the literature.
Vitamin D, Vitamin C, perhaps E or some antioxidant. Vitamin D plus limiting inflammation is sufficient to minimize the HERVs expression yes.
If you want to go into the very complex side, proper methylation, which hinges on complex interactions but in simple terms, just minimize inflammation 😆
Excellent work. Some of the clinical manifestations of MIS-C mimic Kawasaki disease (KD). That aside, S-protein is the master of mimicry, anti-S IgA is the "bus driver" your looking for, just a "gut" instinct Professor.
For 35 years or so I have been getting cold sores inside my nose right around my mensural cycle. I did not get them anywhere else on my face or body. I think I contracted the virus while I was in the military in boot camp when I was forced to live with 80 other women because I never had cold sores before that experience. I would take Valacyclovir PRN during an outbreak which as I got older and went thru menopause, the outbreaks were starting to be less.
Fast forward to 2021, My husband got the vax even though I was adamantly opposed to it and he didn't tell me when he got it. I then got shingles all over my lips, inside my nose and on my right ear and I believe that he shed his vax on me.
I have never had shingles or sores anywhere else on my body and I started getting those sores again inside my nose routinely. A long time ago, Dr. McCullough said that NAC, zinc, quercetin and Vit D3 with K2 would help guard against spike that was being shed from vaxxed to unvaxxed so I started taking those minerals daily (this was before he added Natto on the list) and the cold sores have not come back. Could the combo of these ingredients make the virus latent or make it go away?
Different folks all benefit from different ines (glycine, creatine, lysine, taurine), people should just test them, since most of them are cheap and often beneficial.
Kinda hard for me to just blanket recommend "everyone should take X" but I do suggest people just take and see if they benefit from it.
I do take L-Lysine but not necessarily all the time which probably doesn't help much. I did take it on a regular basis years ago and it did seem to help.
My real question or comment is that the NAC, Quercetin and zinc that I take now cut off the virus that causes cold sores? I no longer get those sores and I personally think it has something to do with taking the extra minerals that I didnt take when I was younger.
Quercetin and NAC will help the body "clean" itself, deal with dead cells better, clean all the "cell rust" and will help the cells be more energy efficient, zinc will boost such activities and help cells be "stronger".
So yeah, taking the extra minerals and nutrients will 100% help with that.
Good piece. Hubby is still experiencing extreme fatigue and has since broken out in a rather frightening rash which Infectious Disease expert is treating with Jock Itch!!!. I just listen. She sent him for further labs and I'm expecting he will test positive for both HIV and Epstein-Barr. Amusingly she said everyone had the latter.
Here's a question for you. Back in March of this year, he had a terrible WBC result: low lymphocytes couples with high neutrophils, but last month that changed to normal for both. How does that happen or not? When I researched the original result the prognosis was quite dire indicating a severe breakdown in the immune system. I can't quite understand how that could change. Thanks.
Everyone is developing a rash because everyone is tiling towards a allergic immune state. This everyone is a generalized everyone not meant to be literally everyone 😆.
Everyone on the planet has at least one herpesvirus.
To your second question, many different infections and immune can cause that immune state you just described, and it takes 4 months on average of nothing else happens for the body to recover the white blood cells.
Almost all of these states are fixable and recoverable. A few weeks ago someone commented on my substack that they took the supplements I suggested and completely recovered their white blood cells within 2 weeks. He also had suspicion of HIV.
This is a little over my head, but I’m 72 and have had herpes simplex 2 since my first husband “gifted” it to me in my mid 30s. My eruptions had become much less frequent over the years, as expected, until I had Covid. Since then they have been much more frequent. Not sure if it’s just from Covid wrecking my immune system or the inflammatory aspect the disease seems to place in the body. Thank you for your research. Maybe one day we’ll know how to heal completely from it.
I wouldn't necessarily say Covid wrecked your immune system, but it does "depress" it, meaning for a moment your immune system becomes weaker (the same is applicable to many other infectious diseases, Covid just excels at it, by a lot), the inflammatory aspect helps it.
Since you are on the older side, you would benefit of VitaminD+K2 at higher dosages (older people tend to all have lower Vitamin D levels), some decent multivitamin, perhaps some antixodiants (as you get older, you lose antioxidantion capacity). Maybe some creatine and/or whey, and as I wrote recently Taurine would be the best bang for your buck.
That should be enough to keep the lesions less frequent or just gone for longer periods (years).

This one was just an update of some sorts. The misfolded protein one might break some people's minds 😆
Professor, a wee bit cheeky LMAO and... https://youtu.be/lag22Hl2RQw?
A lot of people will miss what I meant in that comment lol
Indeed, ironically the plural of the word translates from French as "let's pray".

Depending the person (in the majority) yes, that combo is enough to keep the virus in latency, well most viruses of this family and others.
Usually enough Vitamin D is able to do it, but the level of stress in 2020 changed everything.
I know some folks who find L-Lysine outstandingly helpful
