Countering COVID: mRNA vaccine

ImmunoShield — Fri, 13 Nov 2020 15:48:14 +0000

RNA vaccines work in a different way to conventional vaccines.
Using 'messenger RNA' = mRNA, they introduce an instruction messenger into the body. This contains the genetic instructions for your own cells to produce the relevant antibody and therefore generate an immune response.
This skips the need for you to become infected, for your immune cells to find the virus, process it, and present the viral antigens to your immune system to create the antibodies.

Countering COVID October 20 Part 3 Immune System

ImmunoShield — Thu, 01 Oct 2020 12:57:27 +0000

SUPPORTING YOUR IMMUNE SYSTEM IS CRITICAL. Not only is a strong immune system your best chance of avoiding any viral or bacterial infection, it also helps you to experience only mild symptoms and recover fully and quickly if you do get infected with COVID-19. Enhancing your immune system is doubly important as we know that some people who have recovered from COVID-19 are left with a weakened immune system.

Countering COVID October 20 Part 2 Age Risk

ImmunoShield — Thu, 01 Oct 2020 12:37:13 +0000

AGE IS NOT THE TOP RISK FACTOR. Age has been cited as the top risk factor for COVID-19. On paper that is true – people over 60 are many times more likely to have a bad outcome. But that’s not because of the passing of the years. It’s because, as we get older, we accumulate damage. Damage to DNA, damage to the immune system, damage to mitochondria (the tiny ‘power plants’ in almost every cell). This damage increases vulnerability to both illness and the severity of that illness.

Countering COVID October 20 Part 1 Sticky Blood

ImmunoShield — Thu, 01 Oct 2020 10:15:47 +0000

COVID-19 is more a blood clotting disorder than just a bad form of lung infection. SARS-CoV-2 was initially presumed to be primarily a bad form of acute lung injury. It is now classed more as a thrombotic [clotting] disorder – which is unusual in viral infections. What determines its severity is the degree of blood clotting – which potentially leads to stroke and heart attacks. The clots also threaten an increased risk of neurological complications like memory problems and confusion.
