“Findings from a recent study suggest that the bacillus Calmette-Guérin vaccine, originally developed to provide immunity against tuberculosis and now widely used to treat bladder cancer, may be useful in reducing the incidence of Alzheimer's disease in bladder cancer patients.”

“The review drew on data from 13 randomized double-blind, placebo-controlled trials that provided zinc for at least five consecutive days as a therapy for colds and two trials that provided zinc for at least five months as a measure to prevent colds.”

“Furthermore, participants who had common comorbidities associated with their mental health conditions (such as irritable bowel syndrome), saw additional benefits due to the purported beneficial effects of probiotics/prebiotics on gut health.”

“It plays key roles in the maintenance of blood pressure. SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, exploits ACE2 to gain entry into cells by binding to a cell's ACE2 receptor and injecting its genetic material into the cytosol, where it can replicate.”

“SARS-CoV-2, the virus responsible for COVID-19 illness, is a respiratory pathogen that elicits notable properties of multisystem involvement and copious, often longstanding, complications. A recent study describes the effects of SARS-CoV-2 infection on the nervous system.”

“Conventional vaccines typically employ antigens – inactivated disease-promoting organisms or proteins produced by a virus or bacterium. Antigens mimic the infectious agent to provoke an immune response and provide immunity from future exposures.”

“Although the cause of the outbreak has been attributed to infection from the H1N1 virus, a 2008 study co-authored by Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, suggested the primary cause of death among those infected was pneumonia.”

“In addition, SARS-CoV-2 virus particles have been found in the myocardium and vascular endothelium of some COVID-19 patients. Findings from a recent study suggest that cardiac abnormalities are present in roughly half of all COVID-19 patients.”

“A recent report describes the incidence of anaphylactic shock following immunization with the Pfizer-BioNTech coronavirus vaccine. The Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine, also known by its generic name tozinameran or its brand name Comirnaty, induces an immune response against SARS-CoV-2, the virus responsible for COVID-19.”

“Early data indicated that the Pfizer BioNTech mRNA vaccine demonstrated 90 percent efficacy in preventing infection from the alpha variant of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. The vaccine is typically administered in two doses, delivered three to four weeks apart.”
