Here is a collection of articles related to the COVID-19 and the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein.
The articles are all fully referenced with easy access links to the studies used to write the articles. It is vitally important to have high quality, bias-free information, offered without speculation or a political agenda.
Genetic variants in immune, mitochondrial, and inflammatory pathways (NK cells, NLRP3, interferon, complement, TRP channels) increase ME/CFS susceptibility. Check your genes and explore research-backed solutions.
T cell exhaustion reduces your immune response in chronic infections, long Covid, and cancer. Check your genes, read the new studies on interventions, and understand the mechanisms.
Learn how IL-15 influences NK cells and CD8+ T cells in the immune response to pathogens and cancers. Find out how your genetic variants influence IL-15 levels.
Explore how neuropilin variants shape neurodevelopment, vascular permeability, gut barrier function, viral entry (SARS‑CoV‑2, EBV, CMV), and risks for autoimmunity and cancer.
Explore the genetic basis of POTS, from HLA and norepinephrine transporter variants to EDS, MCAS, and long Covid connections, plus strategies to better manage symptoms.
Plasminogen Activator Inhibitor (PAI-1) is an important enzyme in the regulation of the breakdown of blood clots and fibrosis. Genetic variants impact the amount of PAI-1.
Explore NLRP3 inflammasome genetics: How variants drive chronic inflammation in Alzheimer’s, diabetes, and autoimmune diseases. Discover triggers, health risks, and lifehacks like zinc & vitamin D to modulate it.
Fibrinogen is a protein that is essential for creating blood clots when you get a wound. But higher levels of fibrinogen are a major risk factor for heart disease and DVT. Learn how your genes impact your fibrinogen level.
BookmarkA new preprint study looks at the genetic variants more commonly found in people with Long Covid. This is encouraging for many people struggling with long Covid symptoms, raising hopes that understanding the genetic susceptibility will lead to much-needed treatments. Let’s look at how the study was done and what … Read more
Brain fog has many roots: nutrient deficiencies, hypoxia, inflammation, viral infections, microclots, histamine, amino acid metabolism, and genetics — plus targeted strategies to restore clear thinking.
Genetic variants in tryptophan pathway enzymes alter quinolinic and kynurenic acids, NAD+ production, and serotonin synthesis. These genes influence mood, sleep, fatigue, immunity, and ong Covid brain fog risk.
Learn how common genetic variants in F2, F5 (Factor V Leiden), ITGB3, VWF, GP6, and F11 can increase your risk of blood clots, DVT, heart attack, and stroke
Long Covid is the persistence of symptoms after having COVID-19. Learn more about the underlying causes and treatments backed by the newest research.
The use of low dose naltrexone (LDN) can be an effective treatment for some autoimmune diseases, pain syndromes, and chronic fatigue syndrome. Learn how this opioid antagonist works on the immune system and how your genetics can play a part in its efficacy.
New research suggests the benefits of luteolin (a flavonoid found in fruits, vegetables, and herbs) may include anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective properties.
We have many systems in place to control blood pressure and heart rate. The ADRA1A receptors are part of this system. Discover how variants can influence blood vessel stress response and how others are connected to cognitive changes.
Discover the research and genetic links to why you may be more susceptible to certain outcomes with long spike.
The APOBEC3 family of enzymes has a unique way of stopping viruses from replicating. Your genes can affect whether the virus becomes inactive or more virulent.
Small Fiber Neuropathy (SFN) results in burning pain, numbness, odd sensations, or autonomic nervous system issues. Learn more about the possible causes and potential solutions to this debilitating disorder.
Do you know of someone with unexplained heart palpitations, spiking blood pressure, dizziness, and tinnitus? Discover how research is linking these symptoms to histamine, mast cells, and the spike protein.
Does gargling really work for reducing upper respiratory infections? Learn more with a look at the research behind this easy preventive measure and decide whether you should give it a shot.
Quercetin is a natural flavonoid acting as both an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory. This article focuses on the results of clinical trials involving quercetin and links to specific genetic topics. Using your genetic data, you can make a more informed decision on whether quercetin is worth trying.
Will you get side effects from mRNA vaccines? A genetic variant in the HLA-A gene might cause an increase in your response to the vaccine.
In recent research, mutations in TLR7 (a sensor in our innate immune system) might cause severe Covid-19 in a small minority of healthy people.
An introduction to a series of articles on the research into things that may help to mitigate some of your risk in SARS-Cov-2 infections.
