I read a blog post by a physician who believes that the virus acts like cyanide poisoning. It inhibits the cells ability to take up oxygen and interferes with hemoglobin’s ability to reversibly bond with oxygen.
I’ve read so much in the last few days can’t remember who wrote it or where I saw it.
I dont think something that acts like cyanide would have such a range of different effects on different people.
“I read a blog post by a physician who believes that the virus acts like cyanide poisoning. It inhibits the cells ability to take up oxygen and interferes with hemoglobin’s ability to reversibly bond with oxygen.”
The title article’s premise means that free iron concentrates in the CV19 patient’s blood. This would cause the liver to inflame. The liver reacts to inflamation by releasing hepcidin. Hepcidin’s purpose is to block feroportin. Feroportin sits in cells, and transports iron and oxygen into them. When hepcidin blocks feroportin it curtails cells’ importation of oxygen.
