Abstract Cell excitability and its modulation by hormones and neurotransmitters involve the concerted action of membrane proteins, especially ion channels. Unique complements of co-expressed ion channels are exquisitely balanced against each other in different excitable cell types, establishing...

Taking Immunovir for 3 weeks reactivated both HHV6 and EBV that caused a terrible relapse when I was feeling 90% after 10 yrs of M.E. I developed OI and lowered my baseline permanently.

Background: The Alice in Wonderland syndrome (AIWS) is a transient neurological disturbance characterized by sensory distortions most frequently associated with migraine in adults. Some lines of evidence suggest that AIWS and migraine might share common pathophysiological mechanisms, therefore...

My understanding is that low ferritin is the cause of iron deficiency anaemia, but not the cause of anaemia.

He had a mild SARS-CoV-2 infection, confirmed by PCR, 18 months before we saw him, with a suspected further SARS-CoV-2 infection 6 months later. He had been diagnosed with post-COVID-19 condition (also known as long COVID) in a specialist clinic 3 months before we saw him—reporting a 12-month...

“Will the gut microbiome also influence reactivation of herpes simplex virus, shingles, and other latent viruses that cause tumors? We don’t know, but there’s a pretty good track record that microbes can influence certain bacterial and fungal pathogens. That may be something to explore as well,”...
