The lingering effects of Covid-19 have triggered the global health system to develop new strategies to improve the health of its patients, as more than 40,000,000 neurological disorders worldwide are due to the disease.
There is a growing concern for people who have had Covid-19, as one study published by Nature Medicines showed that up to 43% of the people who have had Covid-19 are at risk of developing neurological conditions such as strokes, cognitive memory problems, depression and migraine.
Other studies conducted by the University of Washington reveal that movement disorders developed in 42% of patients suffering from Covid-19, such as tremors, involuntary muscle contractions, epileptic seizures in 22%, auditory and visual disturbances in 30%, balance or coordination difficulties in 16% and some cases symptoms associated with Parkinson’s disease.
Ziyad Al-Aly, a clinical epidemiologist at the University of Washington, showed in his research that the effects are devastating in the long run, as vaccines do not offer complete protection and reduce the risk of brain problems by just 20%.
Their study indicates that people who contracted the virus are 77% more likely to develop memory problems and Alzheimer’s. And 50% are prone to ischemic stroke. (when an artery is blocked by a blood clot and cannot carry O2 to the brain.)
Another study in the UK revealed that 50% of the population developed long covid for more than 12 weeks in the Alpha and Delta variants. They are divided into 3 groups: The first group presented loss of smell, fatigue, brain fog, depression, delusions and headache. The second group had cardiorespiratory symptoms and the third group had systemic, inflammatory, abdominal and myalgia symptoms. Hospitalized people have the most disorders, with symptoms such as stress disorder, difficulty reasoning, and muscle pain.
Other effects
There are other post-Covid conditions that can last for months or longer, such as: fever, headache, tiredness, cough, loss of taste, odor, joint pain and changes in menstrual cycles. More severe cases can damage the lungs, brain, kidneys, and heart. Today, we see young patients with myocarditis, which is unusual because it’s a condition of old age.
Some symptoms to consider are:
- Severe chest pain
- Excessive sweating
- Tingling or pain throughout the body
- Rapid palpitations
For the Omicron and Omicron B2 variants, 1 in 3 people develop acute kidney injury. (IRA) 89.8% of the population according to a study by Hirs et Al. The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence says it affects 20 to 40 percent of patients in Europe and the United States.
With a hospital mortality of 45%. The reason it’s so contagious is that the Sars Cov2 virus has very sticky, crown-shaped spikes that attach to a receptor cell abundant in the human body ACE2 including the kidneys. Symptoms are: External inflammation, blood clotting affecting kidney function. Another study published in Cell Stem showed that Sars Cov2 directly infects kidney and lung cells and induces lesions with fibrosis, causing direct cell damage.
New variants?
A new variant of Omicron (BA 4.6.) In the United States and India (Omicron BA.5) has been detected under the supervision of Dr. Eric Topol, director of the Scripps Translational Research Institute in La Jolla.
Symptoms are:
- Tiredness
- Cough
- Fever
- Chills
- Shortness of breath
- Loss of taste and smell
- Nausea
- Sore throat
STEM CELL THERAPIES ARE THE BEST OPTION TO TREAT COVID 19 LONG HAULERS
Thanks to regenerative medicine, stem cell therapies offer new hope for treating post-Covid conditions, as their regenerative capacity induces our system to produce new cells capable of reconstructing and repairing damaged tissues.
Studies conducted at Nature Cell Biology, led by the University of California, showed the regenerative capacity of stem cells in the Alveolus (AEC2S) by remodeling the lungs and reversing damage.
In heart disorders, they stop and reverse heart damage and heart failure. In the brain, stem cells induce Neurostematic cell repair by generating dopaminergic cells. In the intestines, stem cells regenerate quiescent cells and repopulate lost cells, restoring balance to the tissue and decreasing intestinal inflammation. In osteoarticular lesions, platelet-rich plasma and mezenchymal stem cells are applied directly to the affected joint to recover and accelerate the tissue healing process.
The highest quality cord matrix stem cells they exist in nature. The process involves the regeneration of cells of the body, while exerting anti-inflammatory effects throughout the system and regulating the proper functioning of the immune system. Stem cells are used as treatment to repair and maintain optimal health. Aimed at improving the body’s ability to heal by itself.
Our stem cell therapies empower your body and give you the tools you need to produce new cells naturally by regenerating and healing damaged tissues.
IN GOOD HEALTH
