MORE EVIDENCE PROVING MY EARLY HYPOTHESES CORRECT - HOW MANY LIVES COULD HAVE BEEN SAVED?

Early on, I saw that β-hydroxybutyrate could be a strong therapeutic against COVID. Of course, my suggestion for trials went unheeded. At the highest levels.

And yesterday I was proven correct.

Here we report impaired production of BHB in humans with SARS-CoV-2-induced but not influenza-induced acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). CD4+ T cell function is impaired in COVID-19 and BHB promotes both survival and production of Interferon-γ from CD4+ T cells. Using metabolic tracing analysis, we uncovered that BHB provides an alternative carbon source to fuel oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) and the production of bioenergetic amino acids and glutathione, which is important for maintaining the redox balance. T cells from patients with SARS-CoV-2-induced ARDS were exhausted and skewed towards glycolysis, but can be metabolically reprogrammed by BHB to perform OXPHOS, thereby increasing their functionality.

Impaired ketogenesis ties metabolism to T cell dysfunction in COVID-19

Walter you are a genius. I wrote to 3 Universities in Australia highlighting the importance of your research and asking for reply. Zero replies. You are so much above the capacities of people that work at certain universities that when they read you research they fear the existential primal fear of loosing their job security, ability to provide for their families and they just ignore it. Their "excuse" is there are "protocols" to follow. It is such a generic statement that does not account for the current moment in time which requires innovation. Innovation is recognised as "value" in Australian Public Service and most universities but ...there are so many ways to tick the boxes that ultimately it comes down to whether or not somebody IS a DECENT human being or NOT. Laws can't mandate decency most of the time. They DO NOT CARE if millions could have been saved, they are paid to fulfil their liquid KPIs. Tragic. Criminal. You are a genius.
