Authors: By MAAYAN JAFFE-HOFFMAN Published: DECEMBER 14, 2021 17:37 An ancient Greek drug derived from the saffron plant could improve the treatment of people with severe COVID-19 and reduce the COVID mortality rate by as much as 50%, according to a report published earlier this month in the European Journal of Internal Medicine by an Israeli researcher from the Hebrew University of […]
Gene changes caused by SARS-CoV-2 spike proteins provide a potential answer for what causes long-haul COVID-19, Texas researchers find As COVID-19 vaccines become widely available and cases of COVID-19 in the United States begin to drop, the medical community is beginning to focus more on the long-term effects of COVID-19. Sometimes called “long-haul COVID-19,” the […]
A study by the Texas Tech University published in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology section of the FASEB journal, has found that spike proteins which Covid-19 uses to penetrate cells and is also supplied in abundance by vaccines to stimulate the body’s immune response, modify the body’s genes. The study coordinators, Nicholas Evans et al. found that even after exposure, […]
Authors: Dr. Thomas E. Levy, MD, JD July 1, 2021 Although the mainstream media outlets might have you believe otherwise, the vaccines that continue to be administered for the COVID pandemic are emerging as substantial sources of morbidity and mortality themselves. While the degree to which these negative outcomes of the COVID vaccines can be […]

Authors: Nancy D. Lamontagne April 30, 2021 Airway cells exposed to SARS-CoV-2 spike protein exhibited persisting changes in gene expression Results from a new cell study suggest that the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein can bring about long-term gene expression changes. The findings could help explain why some COVID-19 patients—referred to as COVID long-haulers—experience symptoms such as […]
Authors: Steven R Gundry Originally published 8 Nov 2021Circulation. 2021;144:A10712 Abstract Our group has been using the PLUS Cardiac Test (GD Biosciences, Inc, Irvine, CA) a clinically validated measurement of multiple protein biomarkers which generates a score predicting the 5 yr risk (percentage chance) of a new Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS). The score is based […]

Salk researchers and collaborators show how the protein damages cells, confirming COVID-19 as a primarily vascular disease LA JOLLA—Scientists have known for a while that SARS-CoV-2’s distinctive “spike” proteins help the virus infect its host by latching on to healthy cells. Now, a major new study shows that the virus spike proteins (which behave very […]
