13 June 2021 - greenmedinfo

PMID: Phytomedicine. 2021 May 4 ;87:153583. Epub 2021 May 4. PMID: 34033999 Abstract Title: Sulforaphane inhibits the expression of interleukin-6 and interleukin-8 induced in bronchial epithelial IB3-1 cells by exposure to the SARS-CoV-2 Spike protein. Abstract: BACKGROUND: A key clinical feature of COVID-19 is a deep inflammatory state known as"cytokine storm"and characterized by high expression of several cytokines, chemokines and growth factors, including IL-6 and IL-8. A direct consequence of this inflammatory state in the lungs is the Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS), frequently observed in severe COVID-19 patients. The"cytokine storm"is associated with severe forms of COVID-19 and poor prognosis…

13 June 2021 - greenmedinfo

PMID: J Biol Regul Homeost Agents. 2021 06 8 ;35(3). Epub 2021 Jun 8. PMID: 34100279 Abstract Title: Be aware of SARS-CoV-2 spike protein: There is more than meets the eye. Abstract: The COVID-19 pandemic necessitated the rapid production of vaccines aimed at the production of neutralizing antibodies against the COVID-19 spike protein required for the corona virus binding to target cells. The best well-known vaccines have utilized either mRNA or an adenovirus vector to direct human cells to produce the spike protein against which the body produces mostly neutralizing antibodies. However, recent reports have raised some skepticism as to…

Meditative practice and spiritual wellbeing may preserve cognitive function in aging

11 May 2021

It is projected that up to 152 million people worldwide will be living with Alzheimer's disease (AD) by 2050.
