Reply to Scientists find people with Long Covid have 2 major cytokines of the immune system (IL-8, IFN-γ) reduced by 100% by sagdiyev1
How can I get tested for long Covid ? Like it seems regular doctors don’t even try.

Reply to An ancient human foraging instinct, fueled by fructose production in the brain, may hold clues to the development and possible treatment of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). by CUAnschutzMed
Wonder if this is a seasonal biological response? Most fruits (which contain high fructose content) are ripe and edible in late summer/early autumn in temperate climates or near end of the wet season in tropics. Could be the brain telling itself to gorge on as much food as possible in preparation for harsher and food scarce conditions.

Yeah, "evoke existing bacterial resistance" would have been better. On the other hand, the method lends itself to producing multiple variants.

Pretty close to 1 actually DOES equal 1.
Google it.

I grew up in a middle income country (Mexico) and my children, now teenagers, are growing in a high income country (Netherlands). I completely see what the article explains in my schooling experience as compared to theirs.

A lazy immune system makes sense, but the lack of thymus being an attributor does not. I still have most of my thymus noted on my CT with contrast as "favored residual thymic tissue" as a 30 year old, yet still abysmally low specs and long covid.

Pretty close to 1 does not equal 1. This is r/science provide evidence to support the existence of free will or accept that you have no cause to believe in it.
Edit - Actually no, 1.9999... only equals 2 if we assume that infinity exists. If we have a limited number of "nines" the equation does not equal 2.
So to make the claim that 1.999 recurring equals 2 you would first have to prove the existence of real infinity, not just a theoretical/mathematical infinity.

Conways game of life is technically deterministic, but it's also true that if you have certain states there are multiple ways you can get to the same state. There are ways things can be both determinism and practically impossible to predict.

I thought long haulers were over inflammed, yet (correct me if I am wrong) the wording of OP and what you state is saying there is no more inflammation whatsoever happening in regard to these two cytokines specifically.
So I guess perhaps there is an over expression in other ones?

Yes theres studies about this, I think its better than not taking a preventative drug. I want to see a paper about it preventing long covid

Yup... probably why I don't really eat carbs beyond low carb veggies like cruciferous vegetables or low carb fruits like avocados.

Aspirin as a preventative for COVID-related clotting in a male? Not your area, but maybe you heard something?

GUY BELOW ME KNOWS MORE When a virus invades the host. The body's bacteria along with antibodies find and detect its existence. They then go to deploy Cytokine molecules from the Thymus gland to seek out and kill the viral matter through cells called "T cells", typically called "Killer T Cells". These cells engage the virus and begin to fight it. You usually experience symptoms like Fatigue, Fever, or other bodily dysfunctions during this time as your body is using natural processes to kill viral matter and protect itself.
In the above article it is stating that they are finding people with Long Covid don't have an overreactive immune system. But that they have an underreactive immune system. Specifically lessened Cytokine molecules aka T cells. T cells are the most crucial, when deployed they give the sensations of a "fever" and those other aforementioned bodily dysfunctions.
The Thymus gland produces Cytokine and T Cells. And it is fueled off of Vitamin C and Zinc. Vitamin C and Zinc are shown to be lessened in people with Long COVID. With insufficient nutrition the Thymus gland will have atrophy and shrink. This leading to a understrength baseline Immune System response in the future.
I'm now theorizing that our mild or asymptomatic infections are really red flags that our immune system was underprepared to fight off the virus. Or that our bodies did not have adequate antibodies or [gut] signaling bacteria to detect the existence of the virus for defense or deployment.

You are probably smoking a sativa. Switch to and indica. Different active ingredients.
