“Exposure to pathogens, including certain oral bacteria, fungi, and members of the herpes virus family, promotes inflammation and upregulates the production of amyloid-beta protein in the brain.”

“Dr. Church and colleagues demonstrated in a second 2022 publication that CRISPR germline editing could be used to eliminate African Swine Fever virus in pigs. In this clip, Dr. George Church discusses these findings and what they could mean for the future of public health.”

“The bacterium can also interfere with one of the steps involved in xenophagy, ultimately impairing the body's immune response. Similarly, human immunodeficiency virus, or HIV, reduces cellular levels of key proteins involved in xenophagy induction.”

“Chronic inflammation as a contributor to aging is not an especially new idea. Here, too, epigenetic clock evidence does seem to see this relationship. There is also evidence that HIV accelerates epigenetic aging.”

“Individual case reports support the use of intravenous vitamin C as a means to decrease pain among patients with this condition. Intravenous vitamin C for the treatment of Epstein-Barr virus infection Epstein-Barr virus is a type of herpes virus that causes mononucleosis.”

“The evidence for immunity has been bolstered by successes observed in studies that have administered convalescent plasma from recovered COVID-19 patients to severely ill patients and noted that the virus cleared within a week. In this clip, Dr. Rhonda Patrick discusses the active area of investigation surrounding the immune response to the SARS-CoV-2 virus.”

“ADE is a concern for many scientists studying the SARS-CoV-2 virus. In this clip, Dr. Rhonda Patrick discusses how the quantity and quality of antibodies against a virus might lead to negative outcomes.”

“Ten days after the onset of symptoms, viral genetic material is still detectable in their sputum, however the risk of spreading the virus is minimal. In this clip, Dr. Rhonda Patrick discusses the evidence surrounding how long the virus resides in the human body.”

“While the usual process was accelerated, none of the required steps were skipped, rather governmental funding enabled many steps to happen concurrently. In this clip, Dr. Roger Seheult discusses concerns about whether vaccines were rushed or can lead to more harmful forms of the virus.”
