I have removed the previous text due to objections received that it might be seen as treatment advice, which was not my intent. Below are links to references in published scientific literature. Evidence for ACE2 depletion in covid...

I once bought an MGB soft top from a Ms Serga Creutzfeldt who said she was a descendant of Hans Gerhard Creutzfeldt (1885–1964) co discoverer of CJD. I called her Brunhilda, the car, after the Wagnerian valkyrie of operatic fame, as she was harvest gold, and very beautiful. It looks like BBC...

Progress report - Just so people understand, my body mass index score is right at the bottom of the BMI green zone, the lowest it could be without going into the undesirably low values. In fact when I took dandelion tea as a diuretic (to reduce nocturia) my morning weight was below the green...

OI manifests when I stand from bending down or crouching for a short while, I feel dizzy and know I can faint, the blood supply to my head fails and I have to bend over to make it easier for the blood to reach my head. If I slowly straighten up then adaptation occurs over twenty seconds or so...

Despite working hard to reduce blood glucose and insulin overproduction causing acanthosis nigricans, I am still getting peripheral neuropathy in the medial plantar and lateral plantar nerves (terminal branches of the tibial nerve), creating sensations in my toes. As previously stated, I...

Sorry to hear that. I get killer migraines from maize but beetroot has always been OK for me.

Something strange has just happened which is semi miraculous so I thought I ought to make a note about it here. In relation to the diabetes 2 like symptoms, which I believe are cause by RAS imbalance cause by covid, my legs have been swelling periodically with oedema which is typical of...

I have been looking for a while now, I need a chair which allows me to fix a mouse table to the right arm. I have found some interesting manufacturers like Musso which has an orthopedic mesh design and MTS Cockpit Designer which has bolt on mouse tables, but I want to use a mouse table with a...

It is casting a very wide net as with all CFS criteria. Consequently what they are looking at is the anatomical basis of fatigue rather than any of the many specific syndromes causing it. It is like saying, when you yawn your mouth opens.

I have no tests and I am not able to interpret yours. But I can say I have been encountering symptoms lately since a suspected covid variant infection double whammy of Stratus and then Nimbus (on top of ME CFIDS which has caused recurring viruses of various species over 40 years) which I have...

We need better masks, something like a super-lightweight version of the 3M full face filter mask, which provides eye protection as well as a proper seal around the nose and mouth connecting to a single microparticle filter. It also needs to fit properly, meaning some flexibility, breathable...

Discussion elsewhere about covid related diabetes onset touched on the possibility that covid's attack on ACE2 receptors could play a part in related pathology...

https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9538868/ This is discussed in the following article and by comparison the usual rate for peripheral neuropathy in older age groups is 8%. There is obviously something going on here...

LLMs do not learn from conversations. There would need to be a new class of LLM developed to do this, which I have no doubt will happen eventually, one which records an information model regarding a user identity. Other applications like research assistance could also happen but the...

These papers support the concept that covid reduces ACE2 thus increases angiotensin II in patients which can lead to insulin resistance. Angiotensin converting enzyme 2 level and its significance in COVID‐19 and other diseases patients https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9874405/...

I wonder if an alternative hypothesis might be that covid directly affects the renin angiotensin system (RAS) because of the way it targets ACEII receptors to gain ingress into cells. RAS/ACEII receptor attack was I believe a concern in the early investigations of covid pathology in the elderly...

We've made a thread for the research that is discussed in the video here

"COVID-19 and Diabetes: A Comprehensive Review of Angiotensin Converting Enzyme 2, Mutual Effects and Pharmacotherapy" https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8639866/ This review paper outlines why competitive inhibition of ACE2 receptor by covid spike protein could lead to certain symptoms...

Vanicream moisturiser, handpump, works OK for me. No scent, very simple. But beware ingredients for the particularly sensitive. https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B003XWG880?ref=nb_sb_ss_w_as-reorder_k0_1_5&amp=&crid=3UXW4BGP3JR1N&sprefix=vanic&th=1 INGREDIENTS purified water, petrolatum, propylene...

This paper speaks to me as I am having a lot of problems with symptoms related to diabetes 2 like insulin resistance after suspected COVID-19 reinfection corresponding to Nimbus variant symptoms. So imho its a real phenomenon, possibly related to the way COVID-19 spike messes with ACE2 receptor...
