Covid 19 and its Variants:-

AS MARCH 30,k 2021 the new content is listed below:-\

Covid 19 and its VARIANTS :-

There is a good Covid 19 study listed ion the Web, on line under the subject of Covid 19 and its Variants:-

1.  How long does the vaccines remain protective against COVID 19?

     According to Dr. Faucci, who has published many articles regarding Celiac Disease., He now he lists the items below, even though his main emphasis is Celiac Disease, where he publishes research articles on New Celiac Disease Guidelines.

Celiac Disease

Is one vaccine more effective than another: ?

"We have three highly effective vaccines that proven to be quite safe and really extraordinarily good in protecting you against hospitalization and death,  The only way to now the difference between them is through a placebo controlled trial (involving all three), and we have not done that.  These trials were tested separately.

1.  This variant, B1.1.1.7, the U.K. created its own variant, but they cannot thwart the effect of variants through public health measures (like wearing a mask, and by steadily increasing our vaccination program. The only true way of protecting us against Covid 19:- The United Kingdom Variant, known as B.1.1.7. There is something one should note carefully the Astra Zeneca vaccine. In Canada we limit under 55 and over 55. It does spread more quickly, up to 50% more quickly than other strains, and it has been linked with an increased risk of death for a certain age group. Canada has been quick to assess and determine that we will not inject people  between the ages of 50 and 55, and more information should be coming through the mail system this week. There are concerns regarding the T1.1.

According to research, it spreads up to 50 percent more quickly than the other strains. It has been linked with an increased risk of death because of blood clots  with an increased chance or risk in people over 55 here in Canada. There have been 30 cases of blood clots in Great Britain with this B1.1.7, and it is the most contagious. These trials were not done separately. The only way to to know the difference between them is through a placebo-controlled trial which involves all three. So far, they have all been done together, but now they suggest the tests be done separately.

2.  How long do the vaccines remain protective against Covid 19?  We have three highly efficacacious vaccines that have proven to be quite safe (and) really extraordinarily good in protecting you against hospitalization and death. The only way to know the difference between them is through a placebo- a controlled trial involving all three. So far we have not done that. A placebo-controlled trial (involving all three) is what is needed, but they hesitate to prove their effectiveness is through a test involving all three Variants. So far there have been 30 cases of blood clots in Great Britain. This variant is considered the most contagious, and of course they are concerned about placebo controlled trials involving all three and done separately. Though they do not tell you that at the time of your injection for Covid 19. They say six to eight months because they have only been studying it for six to eight months. Clinical trials will be done in the near future. Dr. Fauci

3.  How long do the variants remain protective against Covid 19? Right now we know it is protective against Covid 19 for at least six to eight months. That is how long they have been studying this Variant.  The clinical trials would have to be done over a considerable period of time, and that is something we do not have..... TIME is the one thing we do not have with the spike in death rates.

The South African Variant:-  This was detected in October, the Fall of 2020, and called B.1.351, it appears to be more contagious having already spread to at least 20 other countries including the U.S.A.

The Brazilian Variant:- One study suggests this strain, referred to as P.1. may be resistant to antibodies in people who have recovered from an earlier infection of Covid.

Dr. Fauci understands the urge to get back to normal as soon as possible, but he does not agree with it.  It is risky and could set us back to a place that is even worse than where we are now, and possibly leads to additional surges. Even when authorities pull back on (preventative) recommendations, he would urge people to follow the recommendations from the CDC (that is the Canadian website). The American Web Site involving clinical trials and how long the injection is effective for. In Canada if we want the latest new information on the vaccines we can visit the Centers for disease Control and Prevention at cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-coronavirus 2019-ncov/. B1.1.7.

AFTER you have had your vaccine, no matter which variant mix is used, you will not be considered as "Covered" from getting Covid until TWO weeks have passed by following your Covid injection, so do not assume since you just had your Covid shot that you are automatically protected Right Away, that is not the case.  Two weeks has to transpire after getting the injection for Covid before you are considered protected.

      Thanks again for the detailed explanation. Just to clarify, I actually did have my initial tests done while I was still consuming gluten. I stopped eating gluten only after those tests were completed, and it has now been about 70 days since I went gluten-free. I understand the limitations around diagnosing NCGS and the importance of antibody testing and biopsy for celiac disease. Unfortunately, where I live, access to comprehensive testing (including total IgA and endoscopy with biopsy) is limited, which makes things more complicated. Your explanation about small-bowel damage, nutrient absorption, and iron-deficiency anemia still aligns closely with my history, and it’s been very helpful in understanding what may be going on. I don't wanna get Endoscopy and I can't start eating Gluten again because it's hurt really with severe diarrhea.  I appreciate you taking the time to share such detailed and informative guidance. Thank you so much for this detailed and thoughtful response. I really appreciate you pointing out the relationship between anemia and antibody patterns, and how the high DGP IgG still supports celiac disease in my case. A gluten challenge isn’t something I feel safe attempting due to how severe my reactions were, so your suggestion about genetic testing makes a lot of sense. I’ll look into whether HLA testing is available where I live and discuss it with my doctor. I also appreciate you mentioning gastrointestinal beriberi and thiamine deficiency. This isn’t something any of my doctors have discussed with me, and given my symptoms and nutritional history, it’s definitely worth raising with them. I’ll also ask about correcting deficiencies more comprehensively, including B vitamins alongside iron. Thanks again for sharing your knowledge and taking the time to help. I’ll update the forum as I make progress.

      Blood tests for thiamine are unreliable.  The nutrients from your food get absorbed into the bloodstream and travel around the body.  So, a steak dinner can falsely raise thiamine blood levels in the following days.  Besides, thiamine is utilized inside cells where stores of thiamine are impossible to measure. A better test to ask for is the Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity test.  But even that test has been questioned as to accuracy.  It is expensive and takes time to do.   Because of the discrepancies with thiamine tests and urgency with correcting thiamine deficiency, the World Health Organization recommends giving thiamine for several weeks and looking for health improvement.  Thiamine is water soluble, safe and nontoxic even in high doses.   Many doctors are not given sufficient education in nutrition and deficiency symptoms, and may not be familiar with how often they occur in Celiac disease.  B12 and Vitamin D can be stored for as long as a year in the liver, so not having deficiencies in these two vitamins is not a good indicator of the status of the other seven water soluble B vitamins.  It is possible to have deficiency symptoms BEFORE there's changes in the blood levels.   Ask your doctor about Benfotiamine, a form of thiamine that is better absorbed than Thiamine Mononitrate.  Thiamine Mononitrate is used in many vitamins because it is shelf-stable, a form of thiamine that won't break down sitting around on a store shelf.  This form is difficult for the body to turn into a usable form.  Only thirty percent is absorbed in the intestine, and less is actually used.   Thiamine interacts with all of the other B vitamins, so they should all be supplemented together.  Magnesium is needed to make life sustaining enzymes with thiamine, so a magnesium supplement should be added if magnesium levels are low.   Thiamine is water soluble, safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  There's no harm in trying.

      Neither of them were anemic 6 months after the Celiac diagnosis. His other vitamin levels (d, B12) were never low. My daughters levels were normal after the first 6 months. Is the thiamine test just called thiamine? 
    • knitty kitty
      Yes, I do think they need a Thiamine supplement at least. Especially since they eat red meat only occasionally. Most fruits and vegetables are not good sources of Thiamine.  Legumes (beans) do contain thiamine.  Fruits and veggies do have some of the other B vitamins, but thiamine B 1 and  Cobalamine B12 are mostly found in meats.  Meat, especially organ meats like liver, are the best sources of Thiamine, B12, and the six other B vitamins and important minerals like iron.   Thiamine has antibacterial and antiviral properties.  Thiamine is important to our immune systems.  We need more thiamine when we're physically ill or injured, when we're under stress emotionally, and when we exercise, especially outside in hot weather.  We need thiamine and other B vitamins like Niacin B 3 to keep our gastrointestinal tract healthy.  We can't store thiamine for very long.  We can get low in thiamine within three days.  Symptoms can appear suddenly when a high carbohydrate diet is consumed.  (Rice and beans are high in carbohydrates.)  A twenty percent increase in dietary thiamine causes an eighty percent increase in brain function, so symptoms can wax and wane depending on what one eats.  The earliest symptoms like fatigue and anxiety are easily contributed to other things or life events and dismissed.   Correcting nutritional deficiencies needs to be done quickly, especially in children, so their growth isn't stunted.  Nutritional deficiencies can affect intelligence.  Vitamin D deficiency can cause short stature and poor bone formation.   Is your son taking anything for the anemia?  Is the anemia caused by B12 or iron deficiency?

      Thank you! That's helpful. My kids eat very little processed food. Tons of fruit, vegetables, cheese, eggs and occasional red meat. We do a lot of rice and bean bowls, stir fry, etc.  Do you think with all the fruits and vegetables they need a vitamin supplement? I feel like their diet is pretty healthy and balanced with very limited processed food. The only processed food they eat regularly is a bowl of Cheerios here and there.  Could shaking legs be a symptom of just a one-time gluten exposure? I guess there's no way to know for sure if they're getting absolutely zero exposure because they do go to school a couple times a week. We do homeschool but my son does a shared school 2x a week and my daughter does a morning Pre-K 3 x a week.  At home our entire house is strictly gluten free and it is extremely rare for us to eat out. If we eat at someone else's house I usually just bring their food. When we have play dates we bring all the snacks, etc. I try to be really careful since they're still growing. They also, of course, catch kids viruses all the time so I  want to make sure I know whether they're just sick or they've had gluten. It can be pretty confusing when they're pretty young to even be explaining their symptoms!
