@cducsubt @spdbt @mueller_sepp Woher kommt das Kerosin für den Rückflug aus Ländern, die keine Vorräte mehr haben.

Die #Taskforce von @cducsubt und @spdbt hat sich heute mit der Luftverkehrsbranche zur #Kerosin-Versorgungslage ausgetauscht. Die gute Nachricht für alle, die im Sommer mit dem Flugzeug verreisen wollen: „Die Versorgungssicherheit ist gewährleistet. Der Sommerurlaub ist sicher“, so unser Fraktionsvize @mueller_sepp.👇

@AP Mild Covid19?

Kyle Busch died after severe pneumonia progressed into sepsis, resulting in rapid and overwhelming associated complications, according to a statement released by his family. apnews.com/article/kyle-b…

We have known for a while that #LongCOVID pathobiology for many involves reactivation of various herpesviruses. As we continue to validate this it is great to see this work coming out in collaboration with @VirusesImmunity’s incredible team. Here we medrxiv.org/content/10.648… 1/

Is there an association between human herpesviruses (HHVs) reactivation and Long COVID? We analyzed HHV DNA shedding in saliva and found that HHV-6 correlates with Long COVID severity. Claire Laxton, @S_Tabachnikova, Lily Cooke, Kexin Wang et al. medrxiv.org/content/10.648… (1/)

@schlockback Vielleicht ist das gar nicht so schlimm, wenn wir nicht mehr alle zum Einkaufen ins Zentrum fahren müssen?

#Servicetweet Fast jeder #Amazon Kunde beklagt leere Innenstädte. Ich sag mal so: Wenn man jemanden verhungern lässt, darf man sich nicht beschweren, wenn er tot ist.

@amiandlife Ever tried quercetin?

Is there anyway at all to get compounded sodium cromoglycate on the NHS? It’s defo helping slightly, but I don’t know how long I can afford it for. I hate the lack of help for this illness. #mcas #chronicillness

Cooler Trick. Sterilisierte Tigermücken Männchen werden millionenfach gezüchtet und ausgesetzt, um die Population zu schädigen.

Soviel zur aktuellen Debatte um die Rente. Unser Politiker sind nicht in der Lage Probleme zu lösen.

@mkowa1 Von ICE-Startbahnhof bei einer schnellen ÖV Anreise zu ICE-Bahnhof = Zielstadt ist die Bahn bei einer Direktverbindung (max. 1 Umstieg) eine Alternative. Sonst packt man das nicht an einem Tag.

Ich kann schwer bis gar nicht nachvollziehen, wie man in heutigen Zeiten noch als Einzelperson an einem Pfingstsamstag mit dem Auto 900 km quer durch Deutschland fahren kann. Auch bei den derzeitigen Bahnproblemen nicht. Sowohl als Stress- als auch aus Geldgründen.

Herr Lehmann war technologieoffen. Nun schaut er mit dem Wossastoff-Schauch über die Hügel des bayrischen Waldes.

Wir müssen alle den Gürtel enger schnallen.🙄

Die nächste gute Nachricht: mit Hilfe von China baut Afrika seine eigene Solarindustrie auf. Das wird die Grundlage ihres wirtschaftlichen Aufstiegs werden. Afrika wird das fossile Zeitalter überspringen.

Can’t believe I’m only coming across this paper now after today’s symposium. For 6 years I’ve been saying my long COVID is SARS-CoV-2 persisting in my nasopharynx and upper airway since day one of my infection. Persistent inflammation. Chronic mucus. Immune activation that never switched off. Something that simply never cleared. Nobody wanted to hear it. So many eye rolls and blank stares. Dismissed on the regular. Well here we are now. These pictures don’t lie. This Cell Host & Microbe paper using [18F]F-AraG PET imaging found elevated immune activation specifically in the olfactory and nasopharyngeal region in long COVID patients. Exactly. Where. I. Have. Been. Pointing. This is what serious long COVID researchers and patients have been saying for years: SARS-CoV-2 persists in mucosal tissues (the gut + nasopharynx especially) and that persistence is what is driving our illness. This paper fits that framework precisely. For the folks like me with chronic mucus issues, smell changes, neurocognitive symptoms, GI issues, and that feeling something “never cleared,” this is finally research that says: “I hear you” & “I see you.” So again as I’ve said before and I’ll say it again - mark my words - : viral persistence in the upper airway/nasopharynx = long COVID. 🔗 science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

After battling a “sinus cold,” he was “abruptly pulled from the Coca-Cola 600 field with a severe illness resulting in hospitalization.” He died hours later. A May 16th quote: “I’m still not great. The cough was pretty substantial last week.”

Ein schönes Beispiel zeigt, dass man verschiedene MCAS Medikamente ausprobieren sollte.

2026: "Gesunde" Menschen vergessen, worüber man vor 1 Monat ausführlich mit ihnen gesprochen hat. Völlig "normal". #CovidDementia

If you eat bacon, ham, salami, or hot dogs, this is for you. A new paper published last week in the Journal of Theoretical Biology mapped out what actually happens in your stomach when you eat processed meat, and offers something practical you can do about it. Cured meats contain sodium nitrite, added as a preservative and to fix the pink color. In your stomach, that nitrite meets stomach acid and turns into a reactive form. That reactive form attacks proteins from the meal and produces a class of compounds called nitrosamines. NDMA, NDEA, and NMBA are the most studied. They are the same compounds that triggered the FDA recalls of valsartan, ranitidine, and metformin in recent years. The International Agency for Research on Cancer classifies them as probable human carcinogens, and they are a leading hypothesis for why processed meat consumption tracks with elevated risk of stomach and colorectal cancer in large epidemiologic studies. Vitamin C disarms this reaction. It converts the reactive nitrite compound back into nitric oxide, which is harmless and diffuses away. This chemistry has been known since the 1970s, which is why the meat industry already adds ascorbic acid during processing. The question is whether you can do anything on your end, after the meat is already in your gut. That is what the new model addressed. McNicol, Basu, and Layton at the University of Waterloo built a mathematical model that tracks how nitrite, vitamin C, and the resulting chemistry move through saliva, stomach, and intestine over the hours after a meal. They ran simulations across realistic dietary patterns and found two things. First, when vitamin C is naturally present in the meal, as it is in leafy greens and most fruits and vegetables, the protective effect is substantial. The vitamin C is right there when the chemistry happens. This is likely why dietary nitrate from vegetables does not track with cancer risk the way nitrite from processed meats does. Second, for meals where vitamin C is not naturally present, like a bacon sandwich or a charcuterie board, taking vitamin C after the meal produced a moderate predicted reduction in nitrosamine formation. Not transformative. Measurable. A few important things to know. This is a modeling study, not a clinical trial. The model is calibrated against decades of published chemistry, but no trial has yet measured nitrosamine biomarkers in people randomized to take vitamin C after meals versus placebo. Treat the predicted effect as a reasonable hypothesis backed by mechanism, not as proven outcome. Practical version. If you regularly eat vegetables with your meals, the vitamin C is already there and you are doing most of the work. If you eat cured meats without vegetables in the same sitting, taking 200 to 500 mg of vitamin C with water 30 to 60 minutes after the meal has a defensible mechanistic basis and a modest predicted effect. The dose matters less than the timing. Above about 200 mg in a single oral dose, absorption efficiency drops sharply, so megadoses are not the answer. The bigger idea is that a meal is a chemical environment you can shape. The same food can be a problem or a non-event depending on what else is in the gut at the same time, and when.

@RTHM_Health Quercetin helps me a lot.

Have you tried ketotifen for Long COVID, ME/CFS, or MCAS-related symptoms? According to our data from patients prescribed ketotifen through RTHM, 41% reported improvements in their symptoms, and 32% of those who improved experienced significant benefits. Ketotifen works as an oral antihistamine and mast cell stabilizer, helping calm overactive immune responses that may contribute to allergic symptoms, food intolerances, poor sleep, GI symptoms, and post-exertional malaise (PEM). Swipe to see why some RTHM users are finding ketotifen to be a helpful tool in managing complex chronic illness. You can explore whether compounded oral ketotifen is right for you through a clinician-reviewed treatment assessment.

Sieht nicht gut aus für LongCovid Betroffene. Erhöhte Alzheimer Frühmarker bei 15% der Betroffenen.
