Probably pretty important to figure this Strep A thing out. Even if it doesn't lead to death, reoccurring infections can trigger the still controversial "pediatric autoimmune neuropsychiatric disorder associated with streptococcal infection" (PANDAS)https://t.co/SetccGg5OT

@chaosprime @deafitist @GENIC0N @rivatez If PANDAS is real... and dog rose is found as an effective treatment.The next question ought to be: What is it doing to the gut bacteria makes the body produce antibodies?Further: does this relate to Riva's ideas?https://t.co/pbKL9s764K

@MongoTheGeek @eigenrobot There is so much work in the early 1900s nutrition research that have biased our thinking on dental carries. We really ought rethink it in the light of oral bacteria's role in digestion, blood pressure, and Alzheimer's.https://t.co/CoOYOq3y0I

Ok. Long shot... But I bet Covid related gut dysbiosis impairs Nitric Oxide recycling from the gut and that changes the oral environment.This would promote pathogenic strains that would normally be kept at bay. And it will promote Strep A + related.https://t.co/QjGH60AEbq

Impaired NO recycling could also explain long covid associated muscle wasting problems. https://t.co/wTqp97fp0l

"We conclude that eNO is increased in active IBD and correlates with the activity of the disease; furthermore, we found a negative correlation between spirometry and disease activity in patients with CD." [2002]https://t.co/MpIPuEtAQz https://t.co/QFV9r20Iyx


The body stops doing eNO during covid infection. Why? The body doesn't want any more ACE receptors, Covid wants more to infect them."Can Exhaled Nitric Oxide Be a Biomarker for Hospitalized and Post-COVID-19 Patients?" [2021]https://t.co/uU8xlpy1oH https://t.co/grpABM1mSz


"(ACE) inhibitors increase NO production both directly and indirectly by preventing production of [ANGII] (which diminishes NO production) and inhibiting the degradation of bradykinin (which stimulates local release of NO)." https://t.co/2GknlWN3yjNo ace inhibition, no NO.

A prediction from this is we should see Anti-CD24 Antibodies in some people as well as possibly other antibodies associated with Nitric Oxide pathways driving over active immune state ala:https://t.co/vEw7gswxGJ

Its important to separate the acute from teh long term effects of covid. In the acute state with risk of death from pneumonia in a hospital, ACE activators may help. Its like the body pushes itself too far into protection mode to point of hurting itself. https://t.co/ibdLksMF9P

This is especially so when you have a SARS cuz the spike proteins itself is harder to recognize for the immune system already. A poorly targeted response may lead to autoantibodies by mistake.https://t.co/2KsWgrv6Xo

The immune cells doesn't know anything initially about covid. Or if it does, it'd based on past experiences & needs to learn it to pattern match.Immune system is vaguely like image classifiers. It works on taste-testing receptor sites & surface glycans.https://t.co/KKKqaLQq4c

This is way way more likely if your B and T cells aren't well differentiated -> they'll just aim their anger in the general direction of the inflammation.Poor targeting is basically autoimmunity.https://t.co/QUsB4qFW28

Nitric Oxide signaling plays a huge role in blood pressure regulation, especially related to exertion. SO expecting something around this space to be impaired as fall out from infection seems reasonable.https://t.co/3U7Mtr2ikH

What happens if this unexpected phenomena fails to take place, or is reverted?"finding was completely unexpected, [...] Prior to our study, IgA cells had not been shown to reside in the dura mater under steady state conditions."https://t.co/3ZVHxoBX7Nhttps://t.co/6wjvFGCN66

The immune system is constantly learning (and unlearning) new adaptive strategies.Its really fun to think about the immune system as a really elaborate image classifier because it also implies that it could get something akin to "catastrophic forgetting.https://t.co/TMuROu09gA

Measles does something like that."The discovery that measles depletes peopleās antibody repertoires, partially obliterating immune memory to most previously encountered pathogens, supports the immune amnesia hypothesis."https://t.co/KCgmTCtXf7

What else could change antibodies?"This study indicates that itās not simply the presence or absence of antibodies that matter; rather, the amount and type of antibodies that may play a defining role in the development of a protective immune response," https://t.co/rf9o5AypEw

I wasn't anti-vax. In fact I was trying to figure out why vaccines never seemed to work for me and my family.It was because of our autoimmune disease impacting B and T cell differentiation. My immune system wasn't learning to identify viruses.https://t.co/fbE1RIuasD

We neglect the guts roll in this:"We provide a comprehensive review of the relationship between SARS-CoV-2, NOD2 and ubiquitination. COVID-19 infection partly results from host inborn errors and genetic factors and can lead to autoinflammatory disease" https://t.co/06Yni1CexJ
