LEG CLOTS FROM INITIAL AND RECURRENT INFECTIONS LIKE COVID AND THERAPEUTIC PLASMA EXCHANGE (TPE) 

LEG CLOTS FROM INITIAL AND RECURRENT INFECTIONS LIKE COVID AND THERAPEUTIC PLASMA EXCHANGE (TPE) 

Recurrent deep venous thrombosis (DVT) during infectious diseases like COVID-19 happens because the virus triggers a severe systemic inflammatory and procoagulant state. [1, 2]

The mechanisms driving this increased risk are explained through Virchow’s triad (endothelial injury, hypercoagulability, and stasis) combined with specific immune responses: [1, 2]

1. Endothelial Injury and Viral Direct Invasion
2. Hypercoagulability (Overactive Clotting)
3. Venous Stasis

POPE LEO’s LUNG CANCER DIAGNOSIS AND WHAT MAY HAVE CAUSED IT

POPE LEO’s LUNG CANCER DIAGNOSIS AND WHAT MAY HAVE CAUSED IT

Pope Leo never smoked, never had medical problems, and is active.  We know that 17% of all lung cancers we see are in people who never smoked but who inhaled second-hand smoke between the ages of 3 and 15 years old.  I don’t know if he had this exposure.

His brother has multiple myeloma.

One common denominator for both lung cancer and multiple myeloma is RADON exposure. 

CAT CANCER GENETICS IDENTICAL TO HUMAN

CAT CANCER GENETICS IDENTICAL TO HUMAN

But let me offer another plausible explanation.  The National Academy of Science says that 60% of women’s cancers and 40% of men’s cancers are related to nutritional factors alone – a high-fat, low-fiber diet.  
 
More than 90% of pet cats get almost all of their nutrition from commercial wet or dry cat food.  As obligate carnivores they are biologically built to utilize protein and fat as their primary source of energy because they lack enzymes needed to breakdown large amounts of carbohydrates.  Humans are omnivores.  Also, cats rely heavily on scent and taste to judge food safety.  Animal fat is the primary driver that makes food appealing to them.
