Good news! People who have had a mild case of COVID-19 are left with long-term antibody protection against future disease, according to a study from researchers at Washington Univ. School of Medicine in St. Louis. The findings suggest that mild cases of COVID-19 leave those infected with lasting antibody protection and that repeated bouts of illness are likely to be uncommon. "Last fall, there were reports that antibodies wane quickly after infection with the virus that causes COVID-19, and mainstream media interpreted that to mean that immunity was not long-lived," said senior author Ali Ellebedy, PhD, an associate professor of pathology & immunology, of medicine and of molecular microbiology. "But that's a misinterpretation of the data. It's normal for antibody levels to go down after acute infection, but they don't go down to zero; they plateau. Here, we found antibody-producing cells in people 11 months after first symptoms. These cells will live and produce antibodies for the rest of people's lives. That's strong evidence for long-lasting immunity." medicine.wustl.edu

The following is a chiropractic case study showing the reduction in severity of anxiety, measured with the Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HAM-A), in 5 patients receiving chiropractic care: Five patients from one chiropractic office with a chief concern of anxiety as determined by pre and post care HAM-A assessments, heart rate variability (HRV) and thermography studies were selected. The patients, aged 24 to 53 years, also had a variety of musculoskeletal complaints. Chiropractic care was then provided for the correction of vertebral subluxation (spinal misalignments). Visit schedules ranged from 6 to 12 weeks. The patients reported improvements in their original complaints and also in other non-back or anxiety-like symptoms. Each patient had significant improvement in their HAM-A scores improving from moderate/severe anxiety to mild or mild/moderate. Also noted was improved autonomic nervous system function measured through HRV and thermography. Who do you know that could benefit from chiropractic care? vertebralsubluxationresearch.com
