Episode notes
Test Spike And Nucleocapsid Antibodies
- Use spike IgG and nucleocapsid antibody testing to help distinguish vaccine vs. infection exposure.
- Prefer LabCorp for higher quantitative range when tracking very high spike antibodies.
Spike Protein Drives Autoimmunity Signals
- Spike protein can cause molecular mimicry, raising ANA positivity widely in the population.
- Many new ANA positives post-pandemic are unexplained by classic autoimmunity patterns.
TGF-Beta1 As A Hidden Danger
- TGF-beta1 became dramatically elevated post-COVID and was later normalized by labs' changed reference ranges.
- Persistently high TGF-beta1 promotes fibrosis, cardiovascular and neuroinflammation and is dangerous long-term.
