Covid-19 Variants - Our Proactive Health Plans

How Do These Covid Variants Happen?
Let's first have a crash course on virology.
Viruses are probably the best example of our
concept of " to infinity and beyond". They are
the most abundant form of "life" on earth, and
probably elsewhere! Exponential growth is an
understatement. Literally, trillions to the power
of another few trillion. A virus has a shell,
capsid, which protects its viral material, or
genome, safe. Some particularly resilient viruses
such as Hep C, coronavirus, herpes, HIV have an
extra protective coating referred to as envelopes.

Which is Why Washing with Soap is Paramount to
Destroy the Virus
Every time the coronavirus transmits between
people, it picks up microscopic changes to its
genetic code. The result is coronavirus variants,
Researchers are observing patterns as to how the
virus is mutating. Covid-19 seems to be the lead
track star of viruses - redefining how fast a
virus can mutate. The bottom line is, we do not
know how many variants exist now, or, potentially
how many there could be in the future.

Remaining vigilant about preventing transmission
is no less vital now - it is even more important
now to help halt the potential for
mutations. Hand washing with soap, masks,
distancing, covid-19 testing, abiding by
lockdowns... are all vital to harnessing this
virus from further mutations. The vaccine is NOT
a get out of jail for free card!!! Hopefully,
our vaccines will be able to keep up with these
mutations. We know that every year (less
actually) our flu vaccines need to be updated.
The coronavirus vaccines will demand constant
updates - more than any software we have ever
complained about updating! Evolution in
action... survival of the fittest In most
viruses and disease-causing bacteria, the use of
treatments and vaccines challenges them to evolve
ways of escaping them so they can continue to
thrive... These viruses certainly appear to have
an evolutionary advantage. What can we do to
proactively strengthen us against these multiple
coronaviruses? Yes, we ALL must abide by the
rules to prevent transmission. But how can we
strengthen ourselves, that if we come into
contact with these viruses, we minimize our risk
of a deadly reaction?

Even though individuals are getting vaccinated,
severe COVID-19 remains a significant risk for
certain individuals and we need to find ways to
treat people who develop severe
disease." "People refer to patients experiencing
a cytokine storm in the blood, but what we're
seeing in the lungs is on another level. The
immune cells in the lung went into overdrive
releasing these cytokines." Very complicated
science. Bottom line is - lowering our levels of
chronic inflammation, is probably our best
defense against a drastic reaction to the virus.
This explains why, people who already have
underlying chronic conditions are more
vulnerable. Please read the many articles I have
here on chronic inflammation, and how we can
reduce our risk, to not just covid, but all of
our chronic diseases. The research continues to
support this necessity. My goal in chronic care
management, is to bring reducing chronic
inflammation, to the very top of our health
"to-do" list. All of our other "healthy
lifestyle" habits, fall under the umbrella of
reducing inflammation. However, please be careful
you are not "paving the road to hell with good
intentions". In other words, get the true science
on lowering inflammation, and not the pop science.
