Early treatment of covid-19 could reduce disease severity and hospitalizations

Carolyn Merchant Blog 0 0

NM is planning an outpatient facility, for newly diagnosed, symptomatic, covid-19 patients to receive a one-time IV infusion of covid-19 antibodies. The drug companies report an over-supply of covid-19 antibody drugs; that treatment is most effective when administered within 10 days of symptom onset; and that their studies showed patients who received the infusion shortly after diagnosis did not need further medical treatment.   Treating newly diagnosed covid-19 patients shortly after diagnosis, rather than waiting to determine which patients develop…..

Comprehensive diagnostic tools for pathogens would aid in finding the root causes of chronic disease

Carolyn Merchant Blog 0 0

Science has identified, described and catalogued thousands of bacteria, viruses, fungi, and abnormal proteins; and hundreds of cell-surface molecules, which are part of the Cluster Differentiations. Knowledge of the many thousands of pathogens is reported in texts and journals, yet is seldom incorporated into medical practice to aid in diagnosing the causes of chronic diseases. We need to develop diagnostic tools for use in medical practices to test for many known pathogens at the same time, in an efficient and…..

Chronic disease evolves years and decades after acute infection

Carolyn Merchant Blog 0 0

Chronic diseases develop years or decades after the initial acute infection with immortal pathogens. Chronic infection can remain dormant and spread silently, can evolve into a chronic disease over time, and/or can erupt as a chronic or severe disease when triggered by new or repeated infections. It is difficult to identify the causes of chronic disease, because the scientific method prefers to report only findings and observations; studies are limited in time and do not extend for the duration of…..
