Is this what's causing long Covid? Virus can stop oxygen flowing around the body properly for MONTHS, triggering breathing issues, fatigue and headaches
The Daily Mail UK ^ | 2 Jul 2021 | Emily Craig

Changes to blood cells caused by the coronavirus may explain why so many patients suffer from long Covid, researchers say.

German researchers have found that the virus alters the size and stiffness of red and white blood cells, making it harder to get oxygen and nutrients around the body.

Their small study of 55 people found that these changes can last for several months, which may explain why many Covid patients become 'long haulers'.

They believe the disruption to oxygen flow is the root of the common symptoms which plague long Covid patients - breathing issues, tiredness and headaches.

But these physical alterations to the blood cells may also explain why some very sick Covid patients develop blood clots or suffer organ damage.

Scientists from the Max Planck Center for Physics and Medicine in Germany, who made the finding...

I'd like to see researchers go further with this - how does the vaccine affect pre-existing blood cell deformations in perhaps asymptomatic individuals?

I’ve seen images online of the changes to blood cells of those who have been vaccinated. The surface of the cells is no longer smooth but becomes spikey. Seems like whatever happens because of the vaccine is soon announced to be a problem with Covid.

Whistleblower @JohnHereToHelp says that the vaccine is a more concentrated version of the Covid illness. That could explain the parallels.

Hmmmm, Interesting...

Hemotoxins affect the blood or blood vessels: some destroy the lining of the smaller blood vessels and allow blood to seep into the tissues, producing local or widespread hemorrhages, while others render the blood less coagulable or cause abnormally rapid clotting, leading to circulatory collapse…

The wife and I had it in January/February of 2020 before it had a name. It was a nasty flu, but it was just a flu. We are both in our sixties and survived it just fine, no doctor visits, no pharmaceuticals.

And we have the antibodies to prove it.

Keep an emergency supply of NAC before the FDA makes it disappear.

Thank you for the video link.
I copied the computer generated transcript (which has errors) of the video to FR and will put the link to it at the bottom of this post.
 
Title of the video:
 
Text description of video posted on YOUTUBE:
In this video we will discuss N-Acetylcysteine or NAC. We will talk about NAC and its role in glutathione synthesis, as well as its utility for free oxygen radicals and superoxide species. We will transition in to how this mechanism may be efficacious in COVID-19. After that, we will dive into a case series where 10 patients were treated for severe COVID-19 with NAC. They initially started it in the first patient as a treatment for hydroxychloroquine-induced hemolysis in the setting of G6PD Deficiency. They observed that this patient's inflammatory markers decreased after starting NAC, went back up after stopping NAC, and decreased again after re-starting NAC. After observing this they then went and gave 9 additional patients intravenous NAC and observed their clinical progression. All of these patients were critically ill on VA ECMO. At the time of study completion, 8 of the 10 had been discharged and the other 2 were still hospitalized. What does this mean? Check out the video for all the details!

It was a nasty flu, but it was just a flu.

COVID19 is *not* a flu virus - not even the same family of viruses.

Stop with the false nonsense.

I’d like to see those. I did see a ‘b’ cell all spiked out with antibodies, looking like a superwarrior, tho

There was some research done a few months ago by Greinacher that pointed to EDTA in AZ’s shot as possibly being causitive of rare clotting, but J&J doesn’t have EDTA. The inherent property of adenoviruses in general to cause rare instances of clotting has also been looked at. AZ uses a chimp cold virus; J&J uses a human cold virus. Russia reportedly also uses a human cold virus but they (reportedly) have no clotting issues. But whether chimp or human, EDTA or no, PEG or no PEG (no PEG in J&J) there’s still rare clotting. And slightly more in younger males than females (I may have also read that the average age for clotting was 72 but I can’t remember where I read it - maybe it was european cases)

Since the adnovirus itself can’t enter cells, and the spike protein is non-infective fragments that can’t recompose, EDTA doesn’t seem causative, type of adnovirus doesn’t seem causative, other countries using the same or similar vaccines aren’t reporting in the numbers claimed in the US (and the UK is approaching 80% vaccinated) there isn’t much of the vaccine left to tear apart, is there? What else is there to look at?

Now, if someone was a recovered asymptomatic or mild case, but was a rare case that had warped rbcs or damage to the interior walls of vessels that had gone undetected (circulatory fragments of tissue)....they’d be a ticking time bomb.... until their blood and clotting mechanisms normalized and internal damage was repaired (which in the elderly would take longer than a youth)

Which is why I think youth especially need to be tested for antibodies before they get vaccinated, and if they have them, they don’t need the vaccine, they need bloodwork to see if it’s safe to take the vaccine.

EDTA doesn’t seem causative,

I should probably modify that to: is there a component in the J&J vaccine that is similar to EDTA’s suspected actions in AZ’s vaccine?

FYI, Amazon has already banned NAC, but I notice now that some vendors are trying to sneak in and take advantage of the situation and are trying to sell it for like 40 dollars for 100 x 600 mg capsules.https://www.amazon.com/s?k=nac&ref=nb_sb_noss_1 There are no reviews or ratings and I’m sure the listings will be pulled when the snitches complain about it.

I just bought some for less than 6 dollars per 100 capsules the other day. They had like almost 200 in stock when I ordered and now 3 days latter they have only 26. Word is definitely getting around. https://www.pureformulas.com/nac-detox-regulators-180-veggie-capsules-by-doctors-best.html

NAC is being sold at Vitacost.com. They over different manufacturers so the prices vary, but do not seem to be increasing the price.
