Thank you for clarifying @fabric. I missed the video completely. However what you're saying is indeed interesting, hopefully more studies will be done.So if one has proteins such as amyloid beta already, which have a high affinity for S1, and nattokinase can degrade S protein, it's possible this can be released back into body. As far as I know, there is nothing showing that nattokinase can do anything against amyloid beta.
“What we found was a very clear signal that people who had had COVID-19 had a higher risk of cholesterol problems that included higher LDL, higher total cholesterol, higher triglycerides, and lower levels of so-called good cholesterol,” he says. “And these were all new events, meaning they were showing up in people who had no history of cholesterol problems.”
“Another hypothesis,” he says, “is that the virus might persist in the body—not the full live virus but fragments of it—and this could cause low-grade chronic inflammation that could disturb the regular metabolic machinery.” In this scenario, he says the virus might not be detectable with standard tests, and yet the pieces of the virus that remain could create “a chronic-stress kind of situation” where the body hoards calories and converts those into lipids. This could lead to high cholesterol, high triglycerides, and the other metabolic complications his study turned up. Here again, some research on Long COVID (and other types of post-viral syndromes) has found that even after all live and infectious parts of a virus are cleared, fragments of viral genes may continue to influence the body’s metabolism or immune functioning in ways that could cause ongoing health problems, including high cholesterol.
Prior to covid I did not have high cholesterol. The hypothesis is that covid caused a severe inflammatory response which raised the cholesterol. My diet at the time was based on the paleo diet not the typical western diet by any means. My boyfriend was eating the exact same diet as me but he only got a headache, none of the severe covid symptoms I had. Different genetics react differently to covid. I only reduced fat for a period of time because the xanth were growing exponentially and I grew desperate to stop the growth because no other avenues were helping.Just a reminder about cholesterol:
xanthelesma is indeed a deposit with cholesterol in it. But there is no relation with cholesterol in blood.
Most important is the quality of fat that one eats, and on processed food (too much sugar , and of poor quality in western diet)
interesting discussion thread I came across on xanthelesma heres the link its quite a long thread over a few yearsOkay.
Maybe clay poultice could help, on closed eyes, with thick (2 cm) layer of clay (green or bentonite) on the upper half of the face , covered with wet bandage, overnight. Again, a new poultice every night during at least one month. Clay is efficient in nearly all types of skin issues. It's worth trying. It's easy to remove and doesn't stick to eyelashes when wet.
Candice,Nattokinase just seems to tick so many boxes, it's anti-inflammatory, reduces blood-clotting and the build up of plaque in the arteries and more. So I'm going to go for it and order some.
The only other lingering issue I have since I had covid is some difficulty doing strenuous exercise, where I sometimes get light headed and nauseous with a feeling that I can't get enough oxygen, only happens when I do cardio or walk up a steep hill.
Tru NAD+ Booster
It's so difficult to find micronutrients without additives.I'm not trying to be problematic, but there's magnesium stearate in there. Are you concerned about this or am I making a mountain out of a mole hill? I ask this because this week I went through all our supplements and threw out a lot of stuff. I'm busy finding replacements.
For those who haven't bought anything yet, but are planning on doing it, I found these two products on Sunday Natural that regroup a lot of supplements listed by Gaby in the Covid protocol: Coffret Mito Support Ultra + Recovery
FWIW
A: Shedding from others.
Q: (L) So, even if you don't take it, you can get the effects of it from the shedding?
A: All should undertake antivax protocol of some sort including heart support.
Q: (Gaby) Like hawthorn berry.
(Joe) CoQ10, hawthorn berry.
(L) Several different things, like nattokinase that keep your blood clean.
(Gaby) Plasmalogens.
(L) And help your heart.
(Andromeda) CoQ10, L-carnitine, fish oil, NAC.
(L) Yeah.
seek10) How often should we do that protocol?
A: Every day for at least 6 months
Thanks for this. I've been searching in Europe for L-carnitine and not sure if a mix of the various carnitines would be optimal or should one just go for the fumarate version - any thoughts peeps?I found out that there’s different types of L-Carnitine. And I ordered L-carnitine fumarate.
