The Mammalian Stress Mechanism Explains COVID, Long COVID, and Sudden Death
By Lewis S. Coleman, MD, FAIS
This special issue of Combat Stress magazine will argue that viral virulence is mediated by the “spike protein,” a single factor, which causes all the confusing and seemingly unrelated pathologies of COVID, its congeners, and its immunizations, by inducing harmful hyperactivity in the newly discovered mammalian stress mechanism (MSM) that disrupts normal physiology. The MSM indicates fresh treatments that reinstate health and save lives by restoring normal physiology.
