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.

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.

Oyster mushrooms (Pleurotus ostreatus) with molecular structures

Oyster Mushrooms: Lovastatin and Health Benefits

Evidence analysis of Pleurotus ostreatus: natural lovastatin content, ergothioneine antioxidant effects, beta-glucan immune benefits, nutritional composition, and culinary uses.

Measslainte: independent health research

Centella Asiatica: Neuroprotection and Cognitive Enhancement

Evidence analysis of Centella asiatica (Gotu Kola): triterpenoids (asiatic acid, asiaticoside) for neuroprotection, wound healing, anxiety. In vitro/animal data strong; human cognitive evidence weak/inconsistent. Topical wound healing has moderate evidence.

Taurine and Nerves

Taurine: Potential Roles in Nerve Health and Remyelination

Explore the emerging research on taurine, an amino acid studied for its potential roles in supporting nerve health, oligodendrocyte function, and remyelination in preclinical models.

Reishi mushroom (Ganoderma lucidum) with characteristic glossy varnished appearance

Reishi Mushroom (Ganoderma lucidum): Evidence-Based Review of Benefits, Risks, and Dosage

Comprehensive evidence review of Reishi mushroom (Ganoderma lucidum) for immune support, cancer adjunct, fatigue, and metabolic health. Includes clinical data, mechanisms, dosage, and safety profile.

Molecular structures of selenium and glutathione

Selenium and Glutathione: Antioxidant Systems

Evidence analysis of selenium-glutathione relationship: selenoprotein synthesis, glutathione peroxidase activity, antioxidant defense systems, supplementation evidence, and safety considerations.

Glyphosate: Understanding its Risks and Detoxing Strategies

Exploring the risks of glyphosate exposure and effective detox strategies.

Lion's Mane mushroom showing white cascading spine-like structures

Lion's Mane Mushroom: NGF/BDNF Support and Cognitive Evidence

Evidence analysis of Lion's Mane (Hericium erinaceus): erinacines and hericenones stimulate NGF/BDNF production. Modest cognitive benefits in older adults with MCI (MMSE +0.8-1.5 points); inconsistent results in healthy young adults. NGF/BDNF support for spike-induced neurodegeneration, basal ganglia recovery, and hippocampal neuroprotection relevant to HAND criteria and Long COVID cognitive impairment.
