    Blocking endotoxin (TLR4) may prevent death from viral infections (COVID-19/ARDS)

    Almost a decade ago I posted about a "rogue" study which had the audacity to suggest that most of so-called viral infections (including HIV) produce most of their most severe symptoms not through the virus or its direct effects, but through synergism with the bacterial endotoxin (LPS) that we...

    Role of Human NADPH Quinone Oxidoreductase (NQO1) in Oxygen-Mediated Cellular Injury and Oxidative DNA Damage in Human Pulmonary Cells

    Supplemental oxygen administration is frequently used in premature infants and adults with pulmonary insufficiency. NADPH quinone oxidoreductase (NQO1) protects cells from oxidative injury by decreasing reactive oxygen species (ROS). In this investigation, we tested the hypothesis that...

    Aspirin reduces symptom severity, COVID-19 mortality by half

    Another great result for aspirin, which I suspect will not see much mainstream media publicity and will probably get censored the moment it hits my Twitter feed:-) Be that as it may, at this point the evidence for available successful/effective treatments for COVID-19 becomes too big to ignore...

    FROM NYC ICU: DOES COVID-19 REALLY CAUSE ARDS?

    ..... Similar patterns of pulmonary disease between HAPE and COVID-19 Both COVID-19 and HAPE (high altitude pulmonary edema) exhibit a decreased ratio of arterial oxygen partial pressure to fractional inspired oxygen with concomitant hypoxia and tachypnea. There also appears to be a tendency...

    How Coronavirus Kills: Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS)

    How Coronavirus Kills: Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) Inflammation occurring by edema, causes a leakage into the tissue space so what happens here is that you get a viral infection, the virus affects the lungs and with a RDS entire lung becomes inflamed not in just one area like you...

    Progesterone Protects From Flu And Helps Recovery From SARS / ARDS

    Peat has written on the benefits of progesterone in viral conditions and how precursors such as pregnenolone or even cholesterol have similarly protective effects. I posted a study almost 2 years ago showing that high levels of cholesterol blocked viral infection and replication, and that people...
