    COVID-19 is a serotonin-dependent disease

    As the COVID-19 pandemic spread all over the world in early 2020, some of the earliest studies identified serotonin (5-HT) as a culprit in the severity of the disease and proposed using 5-HT antagonists such as cyproheptadine as treatment. Other studies found by accident that the anti-acid drug...

    Phenylalanine/Tyrosine Ratio: Estimating the Presence of an Inflammatory Disease and the Catabolic State

    Information on the Phenylalanine/Tyrosine Ratio. More information to make an informed decision in your amino acid choices. I took much phenylalanine (w/ Gotu Kola) when I was younger (17 to 30 years old.). As I got older I switched to Tyrosine. I tried taking phenylalanine last year and it felt...

    Reductive stress drives pathogenesis and progression of tuberculosis

    I am posting this study b/c it is one of the few I have seen lately demonstrating that even infectious diseases are metabolic in origin. Of course, a pathogen is involved as well, but as it turns out it may not be able to cause an infection by itself. For that to happen, a metabolic dysfunction...

    Niacin / niacinamide ratio may be a very good test for bacterial infection

    A very interesting study, which may provide a cheap, fast and easy method for testing whether a person has a bacterial or not. This is very useful in cases of respiratory diseases where a clinician has to determine if the respiratory infection is of bacterial or viral origin, in order to decide...

    Risk of COVID-19 infection myocarditis not higher compared to other viruses

    I am posting this as something corroborating Peat's comments that the risks of many so-called "long" COVID-19 after-effects and pathologies is not higher compared to the risk caused by infection with other viruses. Myocarditis is probably the most commonly mentioned risk of getting a COVID-19...

    Both "long" COVID-19 and CFS are likely caused by hypometabolism

    A good study that examines the remarkable parallels between the so-called "long" COVID-19 (i.e. chronic display of symptoms associated with COVID-19) and the (in)famous chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS). Namely, increases inflammation, excessive glycolysis, suppressed mitochondrial function and...

    Aspirin may prevent and treat COVID-19

    I may get banned from social media for making a post with such a title, but I am simply reporting on what the study discovered. Namely, even a low-dose aspirin used mostly for ischemic attack (heart or brain) prevention reduced risks of SARS-CoV-2 infection by almost 30%, while also shortening...

    PUFA metabolites may drive bacterial infections and their resistance to antibiotics

    The study below demonstrates yet again that there is hardly an aspect of human health that PUFA does not influence in a detrimental manner, even seemingly non-metabolic aspects such as bacterial infections. As it turns out, most bacteria express the enzyme family known as lipoxygenases (LOX) and...

    CNN: The COVID-19 vaccines do not prevent infection

    A few weeks ago I posted an op-ed in the prestigious BMJ discussing how the COVID-19 vaccines trials are almost pointless as they are not designed to test if the vaccines would prevent development of COVID-19, exacerbations of COVID-19, hospitalizations, or deaths. The trials were apparently...

    Obesity "paradox" Strikes Again - Protection Against COVID-19
