Terrific new review that finds infections contribute to immune and mitochondrial dysregulation and other processes that accelerate aging. Herpes, Borrelia (Lyme), SARS-CoV-2 (COVID), EBV, Bartonella, strep, babesia, and many others…

By identifying consistent symptom patterns, scientists aim to reshape how neurological Lyme is diagnosed and treated. READ MORE: Using MyLymeData, researchers seek to define the reality of neurological Lyme lymedisease.org/mylymedata-neu…

Bravo to this team! Incredible validation & progress for infection-associated chronic illnesses Long COVID, ME/CFS, Lyme, PANS/PANDAS, and many others

Good momentum and scientific validation for long COVID and other infection-associated chronic illnesses, but healthcare leadership and innovators are still insufficiently prioritizing them. Is this a tipping point? (Lyme, ME/CFS, PANS/PANDAS…) Secretary Kennedy

Important to recognize the signs of Lyme carditis. It can happen to young people too! With proper diagnosis, it is treatable, & a permanent pacemaker can be avoided.

While diet and exercise are crucial, lacking a sense of direction in life may accelerate brain aging. A study of 11,000+ adults found those with purpose maintained better cognitive function. Your community needs you, and your brain needs to feel needed.

If you are pregnant and have had Lyme disease in the past 5 years (or presently), please consider participating in this study.

Long COVID patients have reduced metabolism in the right frontal and temporal lobes of the brain. Is this brain fog being visualized? \ The Discovery: Researchers from the Department of Nuclear Medicine at Université de Lorraine, in Nancy, France, intravenously injected a

Yale and Pittsburgh researchers reviewed evidence from hundreds of patients and found that long COVID may stem from runaway complement system activity, linking immune overdrive to vascular injury, clotting, and persistent symptoms. insight.jci.org/articles/view/…

MORE THAN MEETS THE EYE: Johns Hopkins researchers used infrared (IRT) imaging to examine the erythema migrans (EM) rash and found more than meets the eye. Thermal scans revealed inflammation spreading through veins into surrounding tissue, well beyond what’s visible on the skin.

"The soul becomes dyed with the colour of its thoughts." - Marcus Aurelius Through neuroplasticity, every thought leaves a trace and the brain is affected by each one equally. Anxiety or gratitude. Criticism or compassion. You are the thoughts you repeat.

Google mapped ONE millimeter of brain tissue at nanoscale resolution - revealing 57,000 cells and 150 million synapses. Each connection can be strengthened, weakened, or completely rebuilt based on what you choose to focus on today. That's the power of neuroplasticity.

A new theory suggests that myelin acts as a proton capacitor, accumulating energy during sleep. Sleep may literally recharge your brain.

Covid has been a brutal trigger for PANS and PANDAS. We’ve seen the flares. We’ve sat with the families in crisis. We know the devastation. But here’s the thing. PANS and PANDAS didn’t begin with Covid. For decades, parents have watched strep, mycoplasma, Lyme, flu, mould,
