Long Covid is the persistence of symptoms after having COVID-19. Learn more about the underlying causes and treatments backed by the newest research.
Adenoviruses: Causing Weight Gain and Obesity
There have been several interesting studies linking obesity to a viral infection, specifically an adenovirus. Learn more about this virus and its association with obesity.
Chronic Lyme: Genetic Susceptibility
The interesting thing about Lyme disease is that the genetic variants you carry impact both how the disease affects you and how well antibiotics work for you. Learn whether your genetic variants are linked to post-treatment Lyme disease symptoms such as joint pain. (Member’s article)
Pancreatitis: Genetics, causes, and exocrine pancreatic insufficiency
Genetic variants that increase inflammation also increase the risk of pancreatitis. Learn about causes and natural solutions for pancreas problems.
Naltrexone: LDN & Genetics
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.
Are Cold Sores Genetic? Who gets them and why
While many people carry the HSV virus, only about 30% will get cold sores. Genetics is one reason.
TNF-alpha: Inflammation, Chronic Diseases, and Genetic Susceptibility
Discover the role of TNF-alpha in inflammation and its link to chronic diseases. Learn how genetic variants affect TNF-alpha levels and explore natural solutions for chronic inflammation.
Beating Flu Season
Are you more genetically susceptible to the flu? Learn how your genes play a role and discover research-backed natural options to beat the flu.
Creatine: Boosting Muscles and Increasing Brain Power
Creatine is an amino acid used in muscle tissue and the brain for energy in times of stress. Genes play a role in creatine synthesis. Find out what the research shows about creatine supplements for muscle mass and cognitive function.
Genetics of Mannose-Binding Lectin Deficiency
Mannose-binding lectin, also known as mannose-binding protein, is involved in the body’s innate defense against infections. Find out how genetic variants in this system increase your susceptibility to specific pathogens.
Neuropilins: Healthy blood vessels, lymphedema, Covid brain
Neuropilins act as receptors and are found on the surface of cells. Learn about its many roles body, such as in the immune, vascular and nervous systems.
Brain Fog: Causes, genetics, and individualized solutions
Explore brain fog in detail, looking at the physiological causes, genetic susceptibility, and personalized solutions.
APOBEC3 Family of Genes
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.
Mutation that blocks you from getting AIDS or HIV
The CCR5 gene is an important player in the immune response. A mutation in the CCR5 gene, called the Delta32 mutation, significantly reduces the chance of an HIV infection.
Sudden Hearing Loss: Viruses, Vaccines, and Genes
Genetic variants can significantly increase your risk of sudden sensorineural hearing loss. Learn more about the current research on sudden sensorineural hearing loss, including links to viral and vaccine causes.
What is YOUR risk of heart disease?
Coronary artery disease (CAD) is heritable. Understanding your genes and a ‘heart healthy’ lifestyle can prevent heart attacks and death.
Gargling: Clinical trials on reducing respiratory infections
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.
Are you genetically less likely to get the flu?
Have you ever wondered why some people never seem to get the flu when it is going around? Simply put, some people are just more susceptible to getting the flu than others. Learn more and see if you are more or less susceptible to the flu.
TLR7: Susceptibility to COVID-19
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.
