Our understanding of the cellular biology is focussed on the energy metabolism; the evolutionary path of our cells is described under undisturbed physiological conditions. But in reality, cellular development took place under very unfriendly and harsh conditions, with agression of bacteria, viruses ...

yes, oxidative stress is a key player in many chronic (autoimmune) diseases. and of course, inhibition of NOX can improve disease conditions. I think the superoxide is produced by EBV B cells, to kill the pathogen. For that the superoxide forms peroxynitrite locally, to obstruct the feeding of the v...

I think they still miss essential elements, that is the virus and SNPs. But yes, the gut biota influence the immune system/immunity, both inside the brain (microglia as the first line of defense against viral infection) and outside the brain. And with that the anti-viral properties. https://elifesci...

Copied from the other thread on genetic and environmental risk factors on https://www.thisisms.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=31202 In my case, the left Internal Jugular Vein (IJV) is dominant.

.. cards were dealt before birth, still later it was just a bad game.. Correct. In my case, the left Internal Jugular Vein (IJV) is dominant. Which is strange. Normally they should be equal. So why is that? Because the right IJV was blocked, a birth defect. During the foetal phase, the left IJV gre...

This nitty gritty stuff only adds to the confusion. We should begin at a higher abstraction level.

Besides the medical technical aspects, we have encountered here many times the systemic aspects of the problem. As regards the latter, we may feel encouraged by this article where we learn that ever more prominent doctors speak out against the medical establishment and that it is starting to look li...

The mystery of autoimmune diseases revealed Taking control of autoimmunity: a scourge of our modern age Autoimmune diseases—such as multiple sclerosis (MS), lupus, Crohn’s disease, type 1 diabetes, and rheumatoid arthritis—cause the body to destroy itself. Recent studies suggest that the mechanisms...

The medical sector does not know what is or what causes MS. But it's even worse than that. In fact, they don't know what is autoimmunity, what causes autoimmune diseases. But I am sure some day the health paradigm will change. If we look back at the old (= our current) health paradigm in say 2030, w...
