Attached is a link about the mannose binding lectin gene (MBL2) and its relationship with SARS and COVID. The article is loaded with references that go into greater depth. Very interesting. "In one study, people with the low-producing ‘TT’ genotype for rs1800450 were more seriously ill overall ...

Thank you for the heads up, Karelena. I registered!

Hi Susan, Interesting that some TLO folks think vitamin K2 may trigger oxalate dumping. I think I'll see what I can dig up on the subject. Thanks for the tips regarding the TLO facebook page. I'll definitely read the "units" and documents before asking a question. I'm looking forward to ex...

Hi TheBrain, I watched the Simone Gold video, and I was taken aback by some of her unclaimed assertions (that it doesn't actually stop viral transmission (a moot point, neither does the Flu vaccine), masks are not necessary, the disease is mild).

J11, I looked further down on their website and found additional information about their Homotaurine supplement: "Homotaurine, or 3-amino-1-propanesulfonic acid, is a natural-source organic compound found in certain seaweeds. Though chemically similar to taurine, with only one additional carbon...

Hi J11, Thank you so much for posting the research on Homotaurine! I've been thinking about it for the last few days, and googling to find out whether it is synthetic or natural. I can't find very much. Supersmart Homotaurine does not list it's active ingredients nor provide testing results for heav...
