Measslainte

Clearance, tolerance, and recovery in chronic illness

Independent research on chronic post-viral and post-vaccination illness. The clearance-and-tolerance framework, pathway mechanics, stratified biomarkers, and the natural compounds that act as levers within it.

Latest Research

Investigations into natural compounds, cellular health mechanisms, and evidence-based wellness protocols.

Featured: The Spikeopathy Research Cluster

The most developed work on this site. A unified framework for chronic spike-related illness as systemic clearance and tolerance failure under persistent antigenic drive: pathway mechanics (mTOR, glymphatic, SIRT1), five mechanistic subtypes, a tiered biomarker matrix, and intervention protocols. Evidence-graded, primary-source, falsifiable.

Pomegranate husk - a potential source of beneficial compounds

Urolithin A from Pomegranates: Mitochondrial Health Benefits

What if the key to supporting healthy aging and cellular function isn't in expensive drugs or supplements, but in the part of the pomegranate we throw away? This investigation examines the emerging science behind Urolithin A and why this promising discovery remains underutilized in mainstream medicine.

Cayenne pepper flakes with molecular structure overlay showing capsaicin compound

Cayenne Pepper: Cellular Mechanisms and Metabolic Effects

Evidence analysis of capsaicin's effects: TRPV1 activation, thermogenesis, antioxidant pathways, and cardiovascular modulation. In vitro/animal data strong; human trials limited. FDA-approved for topical pain only.

Gut health foundations

Gut-Brain Axis: Microbiome, Serotonin, and Mental Health Connection

Evidence analysis of the gut-brain axis: 90% of serotonin produced in gut, 70% of immune system in gastrointestinal tract. Microbiome influences mental health, immune function, and inflammation through vagus nerve signaling, microbial metabolites (SCFAs, tryptophan metabolites), and gut barrier integrity.
