Emerging research shows that SARS-CoV-2 infection alters mitochondrial function

Excellent article from a scientist who does great research and has her own lab.

Ive been reading a lot of interesting stuff about myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME/CFS) and mitochondrial dysfunction and various things that can cause mitochondrial dysfunction. I guess the working theory is that the mitochondria don’t produce enough ATP, and ATP is what gives your cells energy. So if enough isn’t being produced, you’re gonna be tired as fuck, and also your mitochondria just like won’t work right. Them not working right fucks with your immune response to things (I.E. your body attacking itself, or your body straight up not attacking things it should be like germs and stuff)

Apparently ciprofloaxin can cause mitochondrial dysfunction because it’s toxic to the cells. Not only did I take ciprofloaxin in the months leading up to my first crash, but I’m also allergic to it!

I guess the mitochondrial damage or dysfunction as a root cause for ME/CFS has been a working theory for a while, but you guessed it, there isn’t enough research to give a conclusive answer.

There are definitely some interesting tie-ins with some of my comorbidities. Interstitial Cystitis is an autoimmune disorder that affects your bladder. Apparently there’s also evidence to suggest that mitochondrial damage could be a factor in the severity of the symptoms, or a root cause that was exacerbated by various external factors.

Erin is an amazing person to follow if you have long covid. The link to th article is below.

Both mitochondrial dysfunction and neuroinflammation are implicated in neurodegeneration and neurodegenerative diseases. Accumulating eviden

@doc4care on Twitter also has this to say about mitochondrial damage and drugs

And there are simple, effective ways to quiet TLR4 inflammation (metformin, berberine, curcuminoids, low dose naltrexone, low dose lithium). And for quieting the RAGE pathway low molec wght heparin (or if outside IS, sulodexide - essentially, oral heparin - not approved in U.S.)

Are You Getting Floxed by Your Doctor?

Pills and vitamins. Credit: Kate Whitley. Attribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0) Do doctors know what antibiotics they shouldn’t prescribe for simple infection? It appears that most doctors don’t follow FDA regulations and especially don’t read updated regulations. There is an extended black box warning on all fluoroquinolone class antibiotics, which are: levofloxacin (Levaquin),…
