Changes in the lungs after coronavirus infection, and how can lung tissue recover from the disease?
At this point it is well known that the lungs take the biggest hit in covida. The main lesion affecting the lungs is fibrosis. What is pulmonary fibrosis? This is a distant consequence of the transferred inflammatory pulmonary process. Including against the background of coronavirus infection. As a result of inflammation, lung tissue is replaced by connective tissue scar, which excludes segments or lobes of the lung from gas exchange, reducing the functional and adaptive capabilities of the respiratory system.
Do the lungs recover fully?
There is an opinion that fibrotic changes, once they appear, do not dissolve. It should be remembered that this complication is not unique to COVID-19. Other viral and severe bacterial pneumonias (especially with destruction or absconding) also often in the outcome give replacement by connective tissue of the pulmonary parenchyma. This is thought to be less frequent than in coronavirus infection.
Symptoms of pulmonary fibrosis remain in many people after coronavirus: subfebrile fever, muscle or intercostal pain, loss of sense of smell, dizziness when standing up abruptly, and impaired exercise tolerance.
Subjectively, a person will note the following symptoms of fibrosis: Shortness of breath, especially during physical activity. With a large area of scarring, a feeling of shortness of breath will accompany the resting state. Decreased performance, rapid fatigue become a consequence of oxygen starvation of the brain. A very severe widespread process leads to the disability of a person who loses the ability not only to work, but also to self-care. For the same reason, dizziness can appear: when bending, standing up sharply, loading. Lividity of the nasolabial triangle, fingers on the hands – the result of tissue oxygen starvation. Cough, mostly dry – a frequent sign. Cough with scanty mucous sputum is noted less frequently. When fibrotic foci are connected to the pleural sheet, chest pain or discomfort may occur when coughing or breathing.
Formed fibrosis, it is believed that, unfortunately, it is irreversible. Treatment of a long-standing scar is a thankless task.
I will try to tell you how to stop pulmonary fibrosis at the stage of formation, and restore full-fledged work of lungs on the basis of my experience of treatment of patients with this pathology. The only method created by nature can help us to restore the full-fledged work of the lungs is the method of dry fasting. During dry fasting three unique mechanisms begin to work, which will help to remove the consequences of coronavirus infection. I will try to tell you about them in detail.
What to do for lung recovery after coronavirus
First mechanism
An experiment was conducted using expensive equipment with expensive reagents. The number of stem cells was calculated before the beginning of the seven-day fast, at the end of the fast, one and two weeks after the fast. It turned out that by the end of seven days of fasting the number of stem cells in the blood decreased. But after one week of fasting, their number doubled, and after two weeks it tripled compared to the number of cells measured before the beginning of fasting. For the first time it was possible to prove that starvation promotes the release of stem cells into the blood, i.e. stimulation of physiological processes of regeneration and growth of protein structures.
The experiment was conducted with expensive equipment and expensive reagents, so the measurement had to be interrupted “at the most interesting”, when the growth of stem cells was still going on. I can say from my 40 years of experience that the positive effect of even a week’s fasting lasts for several months.
It turns out that by fasting, stimulating the growth of stem cells, you can earn 15-25 years of life! You can create a Stem Cell Bank in yourself to store from several months to a year exactly your Genetic Health Reserve, so necessary for the creative process and/or business activity. I carry all of mine with me.
In the process of prolonged fasting, the body actively cleanses itself, i.e. gets rid of everything “outdated” – those cells that already have not long to live. As a result, free “apartments” for stem cells are formed in tissues. And since there are apartments, there is a need for tenants. Stem cells are released into the blood, spread throughout the body and contribute to its renewal. Experimental data obtained for the first time confirmed the biological expediency of this phenomenon. That is why therapeutic fasting cures many diseases by means of this mechanism and leads to obvious rejuvenation and recovery of the organism. Starvation is a process of increasing physiological regeneration, renewal of all cells, their molecular and chemical composition. Interestingly, the biochemical changes during starvation and reparative regeneration are very similar. In both cases there are two phases: destruction and regeneration. In both cases destruction is characterized by the predominance of protein and nucleic acid breakdown over their synthesis, pH shift to acidic side, acidosis and other phenomena. The recovery phase is also in both cases characterized by the predominance of the synthesis of nucleic acids over their decay, the return of pH to a neutral state. It is known from the doctrine of regeneration that the strengthening of the “destruction” phase leads to the strengthening of the “restoration” phase. Therefore, it is reasonable to consider therapeutic fasting as a natural factor of stimulation of physiological regeneration.
Therapeutic fasting is based on a general biological process that leads to the renewal and rejuvenation of tissues of the whole organism.
In modern man in ecologically unfavorable conditions physiological mechanisms of regeneration work incompletely. During therapeutic fasting the body is cleansed, and regeneration mechanisms begin to work naturally. Everything regenerated has natural automatisms for self-purification and restoration. It rejects foreign things as soon as the process of intentional voluntary intoxication is over. Regenerable is like a spring, which straightens itself as soon as the oppression is removed. Everything regenerable loves purity, cycling and dosage. Excess is as destructive to regenerated systems as uncleanliness and stale.
During dry fasting there is a destruction of first of all diseased, pathological tissues and this triggers in the organism a really existing universal mechanism of damage healing, using internal cell reserve – stem cells, this is one of the main mechanisms in elimination of lung damage. After cessation of starvation there is an increase of regeneration processes in the medullary circulation (increase of mitotically dividing cells, etc.). Indicators of hematopoiesis regeneration in peripheral blood (e.g. reticulocytes) are usually 3 times higher than the initial figures. But most importantly, stem cells appear in greater numbers than usual. These cells can turn into any other cells once they enter the appropriate part of the body. Stem cells begin to arrive at the damaged area when they receive the appropriate signal from the central nervous system. Once they reach the site of damage, they are transformed by certain signaling molecules into the missing cells of the damaged tissue.
According to modern scientific research, any cells in the body can grow from bone marrow stromal cells. Back in the 60s, Friedenstein and his colleagues in experiments on animal cells showed that stem cells are able to transform into cartilage cells (chondrocytes, which can contribute to the restoration of spinal discs in case of herniation), into fat cells (adipocytes) and bone cells (osteoblasts). Moreover, their ability to such transformations is preserved even when growing a colony from a single stem cell. That is, in principle, it is possible to grow a large number of stem cells, and then with the help of special signaling substances to direct them “along the right path” – to restore damaged tissues. Apparently, stem cells approach the place of damage, where they receive a “chemical signal” about what cells they need to turn into to compensate for the losses of the organism.
It turned out that the introduction of bone marrow stem cells into the area of heart muscle damage (infarction zone) almost completely eliminates the phenomena of post-infarction heart failure in experimental animals. Thus, stem cells injected into “infarcted” pigs already after eight weeks completely degenerate into heart muscle cells, restoring its functions almost completely. The results of such treatment of heart attack in animals are simply amazing.
According to the American Heart Association(American Society of Cardiology) data for 2000, in rats with artificially induced infarction, 90% of bone marrow stromal cells injected into the heart area are completely reborn into heart muscle cells. After starvation, the animals also undergo effective rejuvenation of the heart muscle.
Mice were given a heart attack and then two injections of stem cells into the infarcted area 1-5 hours later. These stem cells had special tags so that they could be distinguished from their own heart muscle cells. It turned out that all the injected stem cells rushed to the damaged area, where they turned into heart muscle cells, smooth muscle cells, endothelial cells, new arterioles and coronary vessels. The tissue that emerged at the site of the damage conducts electrical impulses. The success rate of the experiment is 40 percent.
Japanese scientists obtained heart muscle cells from stem cells from the bone marrow of mice right in the laboratory: a special substance (5-azocytidine) was added to the stem cell culture, and they began to turn into heart muscle cells as if by magic. Such cell therapy to repair heart muscle damage after a heart attack is very promising, because it uses the body’s own stem cells. And they are not rejected, moreover, the introduction of adult stem cells excludes the possibility of their malignant degeneration. In my practice there were cases of disappearance of scar changes in the heart muscle after a heart attack. These patients underwent several courses of fractional fasting.
And an absolutely incredible metamorphosis– stem cells can so “forget” about their medullary origin that under the influence of certain factors they even turn into nerve cells (neurons).
Two weeks after the addition of a special signaling substance to the stem cell culture, they already consist of 80% neurons! This is still only a “test-tube” achievement, but it gives hope for the cure of patients with severe spinal cord and brain lesions. Especially since (as many researchers have shown) when injecting bone marrow stem cells into the human spinal canal, they are evenly distributed throughout all parts of the brain without disturbing its structure.
An extremely important experiment was conducted by American researchers. Mice were artificially induced to have a stroke, after which they were injected with their own stem cells into the spinal canal. In 100% of cases, the mice had partial restoration of motor activity of the limbs. The result is promising, so it is not surprising that the US National Institutes of Health system has allocated huge funds for the development of the problem of turning stem cells into neurons. Stroke is a widespread and incurable disease.
Stem cells arealso transformed into hepatic cells. It has been established that in case of liver damage new liver cells (hepatocytes) and their precursors are formed mainly from donor stem cells of bone marrow. All these studies on laboratory animals confirm practical cases of successful treatment by fasting in people of such seemingly incurable diseases as consequences of organic lesions of the CNS, cerebral palsy, fibrous lesions of the lungs, consequences of strokes, multiple sclerosis, hepatitis.
Second mechanism
Autolysis is the property of biological objects to decompose hydrolytically their own structures under the action of enzymes (enzymes) and phagocytes. The process of autolysis can be turned to great practical use and make it serve us in getting rid of fibroses, tumors and other growths in the body. Always first of all those substances are seized and removed which are of the least value for economy, so that all pathological formations – cysts, fats, benign tumors, fibroses, abscesses – are rapidly reduced and often entirely disappear as a result of strict and prolonged abstinence from food and fasting. With fever we often observe rapid autolysis in many tissues of the body and its great healing work. But we can induce fever at will
Third mechanism
During dry fasting the body for neutralization of poisons and toxins, includes absolutely unique mechanisms, which do not occur in any type of fasting. During dry fasting, toxins are burned, one can say, in its own furnace – each cell, in the absence of water, triggers an internal thermonuclear reaction. It turns out to be a kind of extreme express method of destroying everything unnecessary, heavy and painful inside the cell. Each cell for a while turns into a mini furnace, a mini reactor. The internal temperature of the organism rises. This temperature may not be registered with a thermometer, but it is felt by people during the dry fasting as an internal fever,” fire” or chills. The most important point about this condition is that temperature itself is an important part of the defense response. We know from experience that temperature destroys all the toxins, poisons, dissolves fibroses, and even cancer cells completely suspend their activity. Such a process accelerates recovery.
I have tried to cite these interesting scientific studies to show that all these unique mechanisms are inherent in our body. And there are natural methods in which they start to work. My opinion is that our future lies in the study, development and improvement of our own huge possibilities. And therapeutic dry fasting can play a decisive role in treating not only coronavirus infection, but also its consequences.
