The focus of this report is resveratrol and its profound and unparalleled anti-COVID-19 properties. But before this report addresses resveratrol, some background information is needed.

Alcohol consumption is up 500% in America with lockdown and quarantine measures in place. So is anxiety.
The number of mentally depressed people in the world is estimated to be 300 million. Most likely that number has risen considerably with the COVID-19 lockdowns.
The red wine molecule resveratrol is the ideal multifunctional molecule for anxious, depressed or stressed individuals during an epidemic lockdown.
Resveratrol was recently shown to molecularly reverse internal markers of mental depression among laboratory mice that were restrained in their cages. A report published in Neurochemical Research Jan. 3, 2021 stated the effect was profound.

Researchers in Spain now show that a modest dose of the red wine molecule resveratrol (~100 milligrams in humans) reverts aging changes in old animal hearts to more youthful patterns. This research suggests it is never too late to benefit from resveratrol supplementation. These beneficial changes correlated with increased levels of sirtuin1-survival gene protein.
Resveratrol reduced markers of inflammation (tumor necrosis factor or TNF) and interleukin 10. Inflammaging is the descriptive term used to characterize aging changes throughout the human body with advancing age.

There is convincing evidence, both experimental and observational, that fish, chicken and beef from animals that consume resveratrol-fortified diets produce healthier and less-contaminated sources of food.

Food poisoning is all too common. Undercooked poultry is a major cause. While there are ~250 foodborne illnesses, campylobacter jenuni is among the top five largely because poultry is consumed by most of the population.
Symptoms start 2-5 days following ingestion of campylobacter. The Centers for Disease Control estimates 1.5 million people in the U.S. become ill from Campylobacter infection every year. Common symptoms are diarrhea (often bloody), fever, stomach cramps, nausea, vomiting and fever, which usually last a week.

Since 2013 it has been known that red wine molecules restore lost vision to even the oldest patients with macular degeneration. But now science works backwards to figure out why.
Researchers report a combination of molecules found in concentrated form in red wine, without alcohol, work synergistically to inhibit undesirable new blood vessels in a lab dish study. Resveratrol alone was not able to prevent these abnormal blood vessels. The key molecules that produced the synergistic effect were resveratrol and quercetin.
With advancing age blood circulation to the back of the eyes is often reduced. Lacking oxygen, abnormal blood vessels crop out to deliver needed oxygen to the retina, a process called angiogenesis of neovascularization, but in so doing, destroy the visual center of the eyes (the macula).

Longevity researchers recently reviewed 7 studies that compared resveratrol to a calorie restricted diet in mice. They concluded resveratrol only moderately mimics some of the aspects of a lifespan-doubling limited calorie diet and produces inconsistent results in humans.
In 2004 the world heard of the promise of super-longevity achieved via a small molecule found in red wine. Our genes are modifiable, they are not fixed. Humans can even reverse biological versus calendar aging.
In 2006 resveratrol was shown to improve the health and survival of laboratory mice on a high-calorie diet.

The risk of having a heart attack is a whopping 37 percent higher on Christmas Eve, peaking at 10 p.m., according to a study published in the British Medical Journal.
The study that revealed this was conducted in Sweden where vodka and brannvin (wine fermented from grain or potatoes) are traditionally consumed. It is fermented red grape wine that is attributed to fewer heart attacks.
It was Dr. Serge Renaud of France who in 1992 first reported the wine drinking French who have higher levels of cholesterol paradoxically have a much lower rate of coronary artery disease and mortal heart attacks (40%) compared to North America. This phenomenon is called the French Paradox. Dr. Renaud attributed wine’s heart protective properties to its ability to inhibit blood clots, not cholesterol.

Since viruses cannot be grown in a lab dish (that is because viruses can only replicate inside a living cell), they cannot be cultured and multiplied in a lab dish like a bacteria sample. So, the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test is utilized and is the standard test to confirm COVID-19 infection today.
PCR involves a method to rapidly produce millions to billions of copies of a specific DNA sample sufficient enough for analysis.
The PCR (polymerase chain reaction) test is the standard for diagnosis of COVID-19.

Here’s the latest anti-aging news headline:
Scientists ‘successfully REVERSE human ageing process’:
oxygen treatment altered elderly people’s bodies at a cellular level to how they were 25 years earlier, researchers claim.
Researchers claim intermittent HYPERBARIC OXYGEN (high pressure oxygen chambers) lengthens end caps (telomeres) on chromosomes by 20-38% while senescent cells lost 11%-37% of telomere length.
In the early 1990s another researcher successfully tested the exact opposite – – intermittent HYPOBARIC conditioning (oxygen deprivation) to achieve optimal physical and mental human performance and reversed markers of human aging. Hypobaric oxygen therapy was explained in the book ADAPTIVE PROTECTION OF THE HEART by Felix Z. Meerson, a Moscow-based biologist who later emigrated to the U.S.
Felix Meerson was known for his instruction of Olympic athletes to “train high” (altitude) and compete low (altitude).
