the latest episode of death panel, “masks & symbols”, reminds me of the post/illustration someone in this thread made about how masks represent death in the eyes of an onlooker, but the episode goes a step beyond and argues that liberal find them disgusting because masks now represent an upending of the status quo by way of things such as workers gaining anything at all or any pathetic form of socialized medicine. it was a good episode. this has probably already been talked about. peace.

Seems like homelessness is going to increase in LA, as I'm gonna venture a wild guess here and say I don't think anyone is able to pay back 1½ years worth of rent.

Because each of these four groups use different normalization methods, different smoothing methods, and different averaging/location identifiers, the concentration of virus is not comparable between locations. See reference links at the bottom of this post for more details. There are 33 sewersheds distributed across 6 charts grouped by region then alphabetized by county and sewershed. The tables below contain WADoH or NWSS/WSS IDs (to match their respective dashboards), Date last sampled, Trend (based on the change between the averages of the two most recent weeks), and 7-Day Change (approx. amount the trend has increased or decreased). All data presented are smoothed in some degree to even out inconsistent sampling dates and extreme highs and lows. Most sewersheds are sampled 1-3 times a week and are published within a week. Some locations are late reporting by 10 days or more so be sure to note your sewershed's Date in the table or graph. Locations that are more than two weeks old will have n/a listed under Trend to indicate there it is out of date.

Are there any more studies/anything more known about benadryl and long covid? I read a guy on reddit suggest it for cognitive symptoms and just popped two tablets and like magic the slight symptoms I've had for like 10 months now seem to be gone. I don't want to take this long term though, what with the dementia links and all https://www.reddit.com/r/covidlonghaulers/comments/18widxw/nmda_receptor_antagonism_a_light_in_the_tunnel/kfy3pr8/ Claritin does nothing, for comparison icantfindaname has issued a correction as of 04:38 on Feb 1, 2024 |

Pulvis Sumus posted:Yeah, specifically stuff like reactive inflammatory arthritis (that you need medication which costs around 14k a pop to treat lmao, though insurance and drug manufacturer programs will offset most of that. Still expensive either way. Yay American health care). COVID seems to have a penchant for activating dormant autoimmune diseases. Trauma/stress/viral illnesses/etc. apparently tend to kick-start them. I'm currently being treated for psoriatic arthritis due to ongoing pain in multiple joints + chronic tendonitis, but I'm getting differing diagnoses from each doctor I visit, so who knows at this point? She speculated it was long COVID-related since I don't fit neatly into the textbook diagnostic criteria, but we ruled that out since my symptoms began before being infected. i've also been dealing w arthritis type pains, mostly in wrists ankles and knees. might want to try berberine seems to help a bit. i take a supplement sometimes and got some dried barberries i put in my oatmeal they're pretty tasty kinda like cranberry The gut microbiota modulator berberine ameliorates collagen-induced arthritis in rats by facilitating the generation of butyrate and adjusting the intestinal hypoxia and nitrate supply posted:The theory that bacteria are involved in the initiation and progression of RA dates back to the 19th century when the relationship of RA and tuberculosis was noticed, and RA was suggested to be caused by the infection of Mycobacterium (45, 46). Recently, the gut-joint-axis hypothesis has been supported by the findings that 20% of patients with inflammatory bowel disease have recurrent episodes of peripheral arthritis. However, these observations have not yet resulted in practical pharmaceutical development (47). In this study, using berberine as a tool, we illustrated how gut microbiota modulators ameliorate RA and explored a possible new avenue for the development of antiarthritic medication based on the gut-joint-axis hypothesis. Anti‐inflammatory and immune‐modulatory impacts of berberine on activation of autoreactive T cells in autoimmune inflammation posted:Growing evidence witnessed by the in vitro and in vivo experimental studies reveals that berberine has the potential to ameliorate destructive autoreactive inflammation in autoimmune conditions (Figure 3). Berberine can directly suppress pro‐inflammatory responses of Th1 and Th17 cells by inhibiting the function and differentiation of these cells, mechanistically, through hampering STAT and RORγt signalling pathways. Berberine is also found to indirectly decrease Th cell‐mediated inflammation through modulating or suppressing other cells assisting autoreactive inflammation, such as Tregs, DCs and macrophages. Imbalance of Treg/Th17 cells is an important hallmark of autoimmune disorders, and berberine has been found to induce differentiation of Tregs in autoimmune conditions through two distinct mechanisms, directly by modulation of naïve CD4+ T cells’ differentiation and indirectly by affecting pattern of the gut microbiota. Also, berberine can decrease survival and inflammatory functions of DCs through inducing apoptosis and inhibiting co‐stimulatory molecules and inflammatory cytokine secretion, which is accompanied with a reduction of Th1/Th17 population and amelioration of the severity and progression of autoimmune complications. Likewise, berberine treatment can elevate the population of anti‐inflammatory M2 macrophages and suppress M1 macrophages producing pro‐inflammatory cytokines, resulting in amelioration of autoreactive T‐cell responses in autoimmune disorders. To our knowledge, all reported ameliorating effects of berberine on T cell‐mediated autoimmune inflammation are based on preclinical and cell culture investigations. Hence, further investigations are required to determine the clinical efficiency of berberine in patients with autoimmunity. Immunomodulatory effects of berberine on the inflamed joint reveal new therapeutic targets for rheumatoid arthritis management posted:2. BERBERINE; A POTENTIAL ADJUVANT FOR RA MANAGEMENT

Europe, particularly the EU, was scarred by jab shortages and thus prone to overcorrection. quote:Its nuts that they didn't do more to encourage more people to take it though, since even younger and otherwise perfectly healthy people can benefit from reduction of symptoms and quicker recovery times. Or, hell, give more doses to people who are more likely to have Paxlovid rebound. quote:I don't know what else governments could do to encourage to take it honestly. At some point, if a person had not taken it, it was a conscious choice and they won't be defied on their stubbornness. /r/neoliberal You’ve heard it, Europeans: if you don’t seize Paxlovid, that’s on you.

Why is farming on up there? I'm hoping they meant that they're 100% completely disconnected from society and grow their own food which is a bit too hardcore for me but I totally respect that. But they more likely meant that all they're doing is eating "organic" and "clean" food 😞

I've had some weird rear end sore throat that turned into a permanent lump in throat sensation and/or weird tightness in my neck. Dr was just like "Sounds like an upper respiratory infection." I mean fair enough, but how the gently caress did I catch one if I wear an Aura even to wheel the trash cans out? Anyway, first step in getting an ENT referral if it sticks around so going in wasn't a waste. But I'm sure I seem crazy thinking a common cold (or whatever virus) is something weird now, since for most people that's a simple explanation but for me now it doesn't make a lot of sense how it could happen.
