Cytokine Storm: When the Immune System Goes Awry

Do you know what sparks a cytokine storm, and how it can wreak havoc on your health?   A cytokine storm occurs when the body’s attempt to fight off an infection leads to an uncontrolled inflammatory response. This response harms cells and tissues and can lead to organ damage and even death. It has been estimated…


The Veracity of VAERS

An escalating information war is pitting the “vaxxed” against the “unvaxxed” over the safety of the three COVID-19 vaccines being administered in the United States. In 2021, a massive spike in reporting was seen in the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS), the main vaccine side effect and injury reporting site in the United States….


Self-Isolation Doesn’t Stop Sars-Cov-2 From Spreading

Researchers have detected tiny airborne particles containing RNA from SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, both inside and outside of rooms in which infected people were self-isolating at home. This finding suggests that airborne transmission beyond the isolation rooms in homes may pose a risk of infection to other home occupants. The study, in Annals of…

How a Prone Position Might Help Save Your Life

Lying in the prone (face-down) position, in which your chest is down and your back is up, could be a simple way to improve outcomes in cases of severe respiratory distress.

Findings Announced From UK Study That Purposefully Infected Participants With COVID-19

COVID-19 symptoms develop more quickly than most experts thought, according to the first findings from a study that purposefully infected volunteers with the disease. Participants experienced symptoms on average two days after contact with the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus, which causes COVID-19, the study found. Detection of the virus in infected individuals came initially by using…


Gut Bacteria Could Help Protect Against COVID

The number of people who have died with or from COVID has varied greatly around the world. Peru, the world’s worst affected country, has had 6,067 COVID deaths for every million inhabitants and 88,345 recorded cases per million people. Roughly one in every 15 people who has caught COVID in Peru has died. At the…


Study: Antioxidants Provide COVID Key

A new understanding of COVID is emerging, suggesting the disease attacks the immune system rather than the lungs, yet the government is threatening supplements like NAC that could help. COVID is widely considered to be a respiratory disease (it is formally known as severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2, or SARS-CoV-2). But a new study out of…
