Here is Dr. Rory with a solution from NeoGenesis Health on why we need to not look at the brain to sort out these issues, but we need to look at the inflammation in your gut lining.

The body doesn’t have an organ called the immune system.
The human body is an immune system.
A system composed of viruses, bacteria, fungi, parasites & a few human elements too. The last decade has uncovered discoveries of the vast universe we call the microbiome. Two paradigm shifting conclusions have been ascertained from thousands of research studies: Neither human immunity or the human brain work without the interaction of millions of species of tiny organisms that inhabit every niche of the human body.
The gut is the Manhattan of the microbiome. Every internal organ; liver, kidneys, vascular system, and brain, have unique ecosystems of viruses, bacteria & fungi that maintain balance & function.
The foundation of the gut & microbiome in human health cannot be over emphasized. Our lab has been working for 7 years to understand the relationship between the microbiome & integrity of the intestinal lining. Your gut lining, covering two tennis courts in surface area, is only half the thickness of a human hair. This super thin cellophane-like barrier is not a wall, but rather an intelligent gate keeper, allowing the good stuff in, & keeping out unwanted biome, toxins, organic, inorganic toxins, etc.
In a profoundly eloquent method of checks & balances, mother nature has designed our gut barrier, the primary structure that defines your self-identity at the biologic level, to be completely dependent on its continuous contact with the microbial population of the earth. Through your breath, food & all you touch, your microbiome is an extension of you. If you isolate yourself from nature & her biodiversity, you will falter in your self-identity, immune function, & in your mind.
1 course of antibiotics: shown to increase your risk of major depression by 24%, anxiety disorders by 17%
2 courses of antibiotics in a year: 52% increase in depression & 44% increase in anxiety disorders.
Neither the microbiome or the virome are against us. The microbiome, communicating via viruses, is the origin of biologic life & the avenue of adaptation that makes a biodiverse, abundant, resilient earth. If we fight it, we will die.
Go hug a tree.

I’ve been talking about ‘Chronic COVID’ for quite some time now, as people have been experiencing pain and other long lasting symptoms that didn't go away weeks after people were tested negative for coronavirus.

Now, articles are coming out that are discussing the long lasting effects it has on your brain.

This very much reminds me of the negative effects that people get post-lyme.

After the Spanish Flu in 1918, there was a large outbreak of encephalitis lethargica, an inflammatory disease that attacked the brain and caused fatigue and other cognitive issues.

Now, over 100 years later, we’re starting to see similarities with COVID-19.

In a study of 43 patients hospitalized, they found 10 cases of temporary brain dysfunction, 12 cases of brain inflammation, 8 strokes and 8 cases of nerve damage. [R]

The shocking part is that a lot of these patients also didn’t have severe symptoms when they were tested positive, and yet still experienced these post-COVID side effects.

Some researchers have started theorizing something that I’ve been saying since nearly the start of the pandemic - the complications are indirectly triggered by an inflammatory immune response from the patient's body, not from the virus itself. [R]

Th1/Th2/Th17 Immune Response
So what kinds of inflammation can be triggered by this virus? The Th1/Th2/Th17 system has a big role to play in this.

Many inflammatory cytokines can be overactive in response to a respiratory infection and cause inflammation after the illness has gone away.

This can cause the inflammatory Th1/Th17 system to increase too much and cause chronic inflammation. This in turn leads to autoimmune disease.

Th1/Th2 balance in your immune system is really important for this, which is why they are coming up in the research.

These cytokines not surprisingly are also related to many autoimmune diseases.

People often get autoimmune or chronic inflammatory as a result of these inflammatory cytokines going overboard.

Here are the cytokines related to inflammation after a respiratory infection like COVID:

IL-18 (Th1)
IFNG (Th1)
IL-2 (Th1)
TNF (Th1)
IL-13 (Th2)
IL-4 (Th2)
IL-10 (Th2)
IL17 (Th17)
IL-6 (Th17)

You need to see where your weaknesses lie in order to be able to balance your immune system, before you get COVID. And some experts are predicting that by January most of the population will get COVID.

I don't think you should be afraid, but rather empowered by the information we have to improve our immune balance and how your body might react to the Coronavirus.

I strongly recommend reading these blog posts and look at the scorecard faces on them to see which genes are putting you at risk.

We also created the COVID-19 DNA Report to simplify things for you and give you recommendations based on all of your genes related to this topic.

You can also keep your brain function optimal from issues like inflammation and oxidative stress with our Cognitive Function DNA Wellness Report. This will tell you all kinds of nootropics and other recommendations to help your brain perform at peak capacity.

Butter vs. Margarine

MYTH: If you value the health of your arteries, you’ll consume margarine instead of butter.

TRUTH: Butter is the healthier choice. Dr. Zoltan Rona writes in his book, The Joy of Health, margarine is nothing more than “plastic butter”. Under the microscope, a hydrogenated fat molecule from margarine or vegetable shortening looks the same as a plastic molecule.

According to health writer, John Finnegan, margarine is a “lifeless, devitalized poison, packed with carcinogens (cancer causing chemicals), fit only cheap oakley sunglasses for lubricating the front wheel bearings of your car.” The brand of margarine is irrelevant. All brands are potentially toxic. In some European countries margarine is banned because of its cholesterol raising properties.

A study by Malhotra, published in 1967 in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, compared two populations in India where the only difference in the diet was the type of fat consumed. The population that used margarine instead of butter had a heart disease rate that was 15 times greater than that of the population that used butter.

Butter and ghee (clarified butter) have been consumed by humans for thousands of years without any indication that it has caused any harm. The first documented heart attack was reported in 1910. Prior to that time, butter tag heuer replica uk and lard were the two main staple fats. If butter caused heart disease, then most of the population of western countries would have died off generations ago.
