Transcript Karolyn Gazella: There is no question that the Covid-19 crisis continues to be a rapidly moving target. Hello, I'm Karolyn Gazella, your host and the publisher of the Natural Medicine Journal, an online peer-reviewed journal for integrative healthcare professionals. Yes, things are moving fast when it comes to Covid-19, but we at the Natural Medicine Journal remain committed to keeping abreast as best we can. Today we're going to be tackling the ever-changing picture of Covid-19 symptoms, as well as new research on pollen counts and Covid-19 and protecting the gut microbiome. My go to expert on this topic continues to be highly respected integrative health researcher and immunologist, Dr Heather Zwickey. If this is your first time listening to Dr Zwickey, she is executive program chair and a professor at National University of Natural Medicine in Portland, Oregon. Dr Zwickey also has previous training and experience with infectious diseases. Dr Zwickey, thank you once again for joining me to talk about this very complex topic. Heather Zwickey, PhD: Thanks for having me. Gazella: So let's start by having you give us an update since we last spoke 2 weeks ago. Anything new from your perspective? Zwickey: Yes, there's a couple of things that are coming out I think that are worth noting for physicians. First, as we're finally hearing, young people also get this virus. They may not die, but many are being hospitalized. And I think as we talked about last time we chatted, the average age was 44 in China, it was not in the 80s. So keep in mind that younger people are still susceptible. And I think one of the biggest updates is the time of exposure to symptoms. We originally thought it was 2 to 3 days, but now we're seeing that it can be anywhere from 2 to 11 days. That's a huge time span. And we don't know why. It could be the number of viral particles that people are exposed to, or it could be various health factors related to the health of the patient. We just don't know. But during that entire time span, people could be asymptomatic and yet be shedding virus. Gazella: Yeah. That is really important. And it's a good reminder as to why we're focusing on social distancing so aggressively right now. So that's great. And I do want to talk about the symptom profile, but first I want to discuss a brand new study that just came out in the journal Allergy that looked at pollen counts and Covid-19. Now obviously this can affect a lot of patients this time of year who are dealing with allergies. So what's the connection and what should practitioners consider telling their allergy patients about this new information? Zwickey: So few things to think about with respect to this. The first thing is that people start worrying when they start having symptoms of allergies because many of the symptoms are shared with upper respiratory viral infections. So the stress isn't good. Secondly, we already know that there's a shortage of tests, and if people start worrying that their allergies are Covid-19 they're going to start using tests that we actually need for people who have Covid-19. So that's not good. But from an immunological perspective, the way that we think about this is allergies are a TH2 response. So when you start mounting an allergy response to birch, or ragweed, or any sort of pollen, you need a TH2 response for the allergy response. But what you need to fight the infection is a TH1 response, not TH2. In some respiratory infections we're seeing that allergies are reducing the proinflammatory response, including the type 1 and type 3 interferons, and that's usually what we see starting to launch the anti-infection response. So if you have allergies, specifically allergies to birch pollen is what was reported in the journal Allergy, you may have less type 1 and type 3 interferons and mount less of an immune response to any upper respiratory infection. So the data that they used actually came from rhinovirus. We don't know exactly what allergies are going to do to a SARS-CoV-2 infection. In young people it could actually minimize their symptoms even more, even though they're infectious. And in older people and higher-risk populations, people who have comorbidities, it could reduce their ability to fight an infection. Gazella: That's fascinating. Is there any advice that we should be giving patients who have allergies during this crisis? Zwickey: Yeah, it's interesting. If you just get online and you Google allergies versus Covid-19, one of the things you'll find are symptom comparisons. So if you have allergies, you're probably not going to have a fever. That's the biggest thing. And if you don't have a fever, it's more likely the allergy and not the Covid-19. If you have a fever, then I would start thinking, well, this could be something different. And then if you get the cough that goes with the fever, now is when you start thinking, well, this could be Covid-19. So just get online and look at those symptom pictures and see where you're at. A headache is not a sign of Covid-19, a headache alone. But a headache, a sinus headache especially, may come with your allergies. Gazella: That's great advice. Should people with allergies stay indoors more on windy days, or is there any lifestyle-based advice? Zwickey: It's all the same things we've been telling people with allergies for a long time. Yes, you should stay indoor on windy days, you shouldn't open your car windows. Or if you're driving, put the air on recirculate instead of fresh air so that you're not exposed to more and more of that pollen. The other thing you may consider is using a local honey, which usually contains pollen. And we know if you eat the allergen you are less likely to have that TH2 response to it. So, all of those things are true in these cases. Gazella: Great. Great advice. So let's dig a little bit more deeply into the topic of symptoms. Now, I have to say, I've been fascinated by the fact that Covid-19 has a growing list of really diverse symptoms, in addition to the typical fever and dry cough that you mentioned. For example, I've been reading articles that GI issues can be a symptom. Now, while it's not a primary symptom, patients with a fever and GI issues may have Covid-19. What's this connection all about? Zwickey: So the same ACE-2 receptors that we've already talked about that are in the lungs and the kidneys are also in the gut. So if you happen to swallow the virus instead of breathe it, it'll infect the gut instead of the lungs. And when you mount an immune response, one of the cytokines that's made in the gut is TNF alpha, and we know that TNF alpha alone can cause diarrhea. Importantly, many people who have GI symptoms can also be shedding virus in stool. And that brings up something else I wanted to mention, the data from the Chinese that are coming out right now are showing that viral shedding is 20 days. It's not 2 weeks, it's 3 weeks. So think about the fact that we've had people in quarantine for 2 weeks and then we let them go, and they can actually be shedding for another full week. In fact, Chinese scientists said that some patients actually shed up to 37 days. So that's why there's a continued focus on physical distancing. And I'm trying to change the vernacular from social distancing to physical distancing because people need to be social. It's such a good coping skill and I really hope people are communicating with their friends and family. Gazella: That is a great point. Physical distancing. I'm going to make sure to use that in the future as well. Now, another symptom that's been discussed in mainstream media is pink eye or red eyes. Now this totally makes sense because people touch their eyes pretty frequently, and if they have the virus on their hands, they can infect the eyes. What do we need to know about this symptom when it comes to Covid-19? Zwickey: So first of all, it's true. There is a conjunctivitis that can be associated with Covid-19, although it's relatively rare. Data coming out of China and Italy suggest it's about 1 in 1,000 will develop conjunctivitis. So the first thing remember as a doc is to treat these patients as Covid-19 patients. They are infectious, they're shedding virus. And a lot of times when we see the red eye we think that it's limited to the eye. It's not. Also remember that this isn't bacterial, so the antibacterial drops that you drop in people's eyes aren't going to work. You're to treat this like you would treat any other Covid-19 infection, and it can be severe. People can develop a lot of inflammation in their eye from this particular virus. So treating inflammation the way you would as a physician is the way to go. Gazella: Okay, great advice. Now, is it common for a virus to expand its symptom profile like this? Does this tell us anything about the severity or the uniqueness of this particular virus? Zwickey: Well, it's not so much an expansion of symptoms. These symptoms have been happening all along, they were just happening in much lower numbers, which meant that doctors didn't know if they were unique to individuals or part of the SARS-CoV-2 infection. So until the numbers became really high we weren't seeing them in high enough numbers to report them. So this is kind of a lesson in epidemiology. If there's low numbers, they could be random. When the numbers get higher, now we can form correlations. Now there's another piece of this. Viruses can infect any tissue for which there is a receptor, and for SARS-CoV-2 the receptor, ACE-2, is distributed among many different tissues. And because the receptor's widespread, there's widespread symptoms. We call this tissue tropism, that the virus is attracted to the tissues that express the receptor. Another virus that does stuff like this is measles. Measles binds to 3 different receptors in 3 different tissues, and as a result you see measles in the lungs and the gut, and in immune cells as well. So, it's true for other viruses, it's just that until you get the law of large numbers, we don't see the symptoms appear in high enough quantity to associate it with this particular infection. Gazella: Okay, great. That was a great explanation. So I want to end our conversation with the gut microbiome, kind of going back to our conversation about GI symptoms. Now, there's a significant connection between the gut, the immune system, and our ability to fight viruses. What steps can we take to help protect and enhance the gut microbiome? Zwickey: Yeah, this is so true. We know that if you disrupt the gut microbiome, you make anyone, animal, human or insect susceptible to infections. So the A number 1 thing you can do for the microbiome, of course, is eat vegetables, especially vegetables with good prebiotic fibers. I'm thinking onions, Jerusalem artichoke, sunchokes, leeks, garlic. Potatoes are a vegetable, but they're not the best for feeding the microbiome. Although I'd much rather have you eat a potato than a cookie, but I'd rather have you eat asparagus or greens than a potato. The other thing that most of us forget get is spices are prebiotic. So cooking with spices, rosemary, thyme, basil, oregano, cinnamon, all of those things are going to help feed the bacteria in your gut, your gut microbiome. The next thing that many people would think of is probiotics, and I go probiotic first with food. So thinking about keifer, kombucha, sauerkraut, and yogurt. And usually people are going to gravitate towards the yogurt because they like the sweet taste, but remember the sugar isn't good. So if you're going to go for yogurt, you're going to go for the low-sugar versions. And then probiotic supplements, of course, could be helping the gut for some people. And while it's true that we have shown that probiotics can improve gut health, we don't actually know which probiotics work best with each individual. And remember, each person's microbiome is different, we all have our own ecosystem. So it'll be great when we can individualize them, but in the meantime, I would consider it self-experimentation, that if you're going to try a probiotic and you haven't ever tried one before, if it doesn't make you feel good, stop. That's not your combo and try something different. What you're doing with your gut is you're regulating both your immune system and your nervous system. So 80% of your immune system is in your gut and more than that for your nervous system. In fact, the microbes in your gut are responsible for making much of the serotonin in your body, and serotonin is contributing to your immune response. So, keep in mind that if your gut's not healthy, then even if every aspect of you feels healthy, you're not healthy. Gazella: Great, great points. Well, once again, Dr Zwickey, this has been very informational. Thank you so much for joining me and keeping us abreast of the various complexities associated with Covid-19. Thank you so much. Zwickey: You're welcome. Gazella: So this podcast is brought to you by Natural Medicine Journal. You can find more information at naturalmedicinejournal.com. Thank you for listening.

Dr. William Dodson is a board-certified psychiatrist and, since 1994, has specialized in attention deficit hyperactivity disorder which is more commonly called ADHD. He has written extensively on how the basic research on ADHD can be applied to everyday clinical practice. Dr. Dodson retired in April from active patient care and is currently spending his time completing the manuscript of a textbook on ADHD for clinicians on how to diagnose and treat ADHD from childhood to the elderly. Incredulously, there is no such textbook, and this will be the first one available for clinicians once it is completed. Dr. Dodson is a former faculty member at Georgetown University and the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center, Dodson is a Life Fellow of the American Psychiatric Association and was the 2006 recipient of the Maxwell J. Schleifer Distinguished National Service Award for his work with people with disabilities. Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder includes a persistent pattern of inattention, hyperactivity, or both. If present, ADHD symptoms of inattention or hyperactivity can make it difficult to perform in school, home, and social settings. Dr. Dodson’s work with ADHD has revealed the hallmark feature of ADHD to be the “inconsistent engagement,” inconsistent performance, inconsistent moods, etc. Activities that were done beautifully yesterday are terribly done today. Usually this is commonly viewed in a very judgmental way that the person with ADHD is “flighty, unreliable, unpredictable, or intentionally not trying.” It is only in the last few years as children with ADHD became articulate adults with ADHD that we have come to understand that there is a consistent pattern to the inconsistency. In a limited number of circumstances people with ADHD could “get in the Zone/get in the Flow” and not have any impairment at all. When an ADHD person is Interested, Challenged, or finds the task Novel or Urgent they snap into the Zone and can literally do anything they try to do. When they lose that sense of ICNU, they are back in La La land again. The conditions that engage, organize, and motivate the other 90% of human beings (Importance, Rewards, and Consequences) never ever work for people with ADHD. Individuals with an ADHD nervous systems ALWAYS use Interest, Challenge, Novelty, and Urgency and can NEVER use Importance rewards and consequences in daily life to get the tasks of their lives done. The second defining feature of ADHD is the special problems of how people regulate their emotional lives. People who have an ADHD style nervous system tend to experience their own lives in an intense and passionate way that can be exhausting to themselves and their loved ones. To make matters even more difficult, people with ADHD can also have episodes of overwhelming, almost unbearable emotional pain that are triggered by their perception that they have been rejected, criticized, or fallen short of their own expectations. While no one likes being rejected or criticized, the experience of Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria (also called emotional dysregulation in Europe) is much, much more intensely painful and disruptive to their lives than similar events are to Neurotypical people without ADHD. The combination of the emotional component of Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria and the cognitive component of an Interest-Based Nervous System can explain virtually all of the manifestations of adolescent and adult ADHD. So, in the end the only person who sees the evidence of ADHD firsthand is you. In the end the only person who must completely be sure that you have an ADHD nervous system is you as well.

There aren’t many practitioners writing about today’s topic. Unless, that is, you look up the collected works of Dr. Bill Dodson. Dr. Dodson is an award-winning board-certified psychiatrist and specialist in adult ADHD and his contributions to the study of Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria bring him to the show today. According to Dr. Dodson, nearly all those living with ADHD live with some level of rejection sensitivity, and thanks to the poor training on the ADHD connections to the condition, patients are going misdiagnosed and mistreated as a result.

Dr. Carla Finkielstein is an Associate Professor of Biological Sciences within the Biocomplexity Institute of Virginia Tech. She is also Director of the Integrated Cellular Response Laboratory at Virginia Tech, a Member of the Executive Committee of the Susan G. Komen Blue Ridge Board, and past member of the Board of Directors of the Virginia Breast Cancer Foundation. In the lab, Carla is interested in understanding the mechanisms cells use to measure time to regulate cell division. Evidence supports that people with circadian disorders have a higher incidence of cancer. Carla hypothesizes that cancer may occur when the clocks within cells don’t function properly. In these cases, the clocks may signal to the cell to divide too frequently. Carla’s goal is to understand how this process occurs so that we can fix the issue, detect the problem early to provide treatment, or prevent it from happening. Carla’s favorite hobby is cooking. She loves making new and creative dishes that bring together different colors, flavors, and taste profiles. Cooking is relaxing for her, and it’s fun to share dishes she creates with her friends and family. In addition, Carla enjoys reading a wide variety of books about history. Carla received her B.S. and Ph.D. both in Molecular Biology from the University of Buenos Aires in Argentina. Afterwards, she worked as a Research Associate at the Howard Hughes Medical Institute at the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center. Carla then conducted further postdoctoral research at the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center before joining the faculty at Virginia Tech. Carla has been recognized for her research accomplishments with the L. Chely Award for Best PhD Thesis, a Howard Hughes Institute Fellowship for Research, an American Heart Association Postdoctoral Fellowship, the Karin Noss Scholarship for Research Advocacy in Breast Cancer, the Susan G.

Today on Extraordinary Women Radio, I’m really honored to host another Colorado Women's Hall of Fame Inductee – Elinor Miller Greenberg. Elinor is an educational innovator, theorist, and writer who impacts education, civil rights, and women’s rights locally, nationally, and internationally. A visionary, Elinor believes that education is the key to social change and social justice. At 85 years young, Elinor shares lessons she’s learned over her change-impacting life. She shares the story of how she became an activist as a momma with a baby on her hip, and how she lived by the mantra, “Go where no one else will go. Do what no one else will do.” She loves being her current age and offers third-life wisdom. She’s got grit, she’s got grace, and she’s certainly made an impact on our world. I especially enjoy our conversation about how she has built friendships across political lines, with people she has been friends with for over 50 years. An important lesson for all of us in today’s modern age. Elinor has an impressive list of accomplishment in her lifetime. Here are some of the highlights! As a national leader in adult education and adult development, Elinor has worked with the major colleges and universities in Colorado and was also a guest faculty member of the Harvard University School of Education Institute for the Management of Lifelong Education. She has authored, co-authored, and edited nine books and more than 200 papers. Greenberg was one of the first to create learner-centered educational programs in Colorado, heading University Without Walls, an individualized bachelor’s degree program for adults utilizing resources from the community. She served as the national coordinator for the program and later was the regional coordinator for the Council for Adult and Experiential Learning and founding director of Project Leadership. She created the first BSN weekend college for rural nurses in Colorado, established a bachelor’s degree program in Colorado prisons, developed degree programs for Native American mental health workers, and founded a prepaid tuition program for US WEST employees in 14 states. At the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center, she established the Mountain and Plains Partnership to provide access to online master’s degree programs for nurse practitioners, nurse midwives, and physician assistants in underserved areas of Colorado, Wyoming, New Mexico, and Arizona. Greenberg came to Colorado in 1954 to work as a speech therapist and quickly became a community activist, finding ways to provide access to opportunity for women and minorities. She has been in the forefront of the fair housing effort for more than 40 years and served on numerous commissions and boards, including the Colorado Women’s Economic Development Council, the Colorado Women’s Leadership Coalition, Women’s Forum, State Board for Community Colleges and Occupational Education, the Anti-Defamation League, the Colorado Board of Continuing Legal and Judicial Education, the Colorado Judicial Institute, and MESA. As a nationally known public speaker, writer, and consultant, she founded Colorado-based EMG and Associates, a consulting and publishing firm specializing in adult education and distance learning. You will love this interview with Elinor’s deep wisdom. Let’s meet Elinor Miller Greenberg! *** The Colorado Women’s Hall of Fame mission is to inspire by celebrating and sharing the enduring contributions of Colorado’s distinctive women. To achieve this, the Hall educates the people of Colorado about the stories of the women who shaped our state and the nation’s history with courage, leadership, intelligence, compassion, and creativity.

Dr. David Diamond is a University of South Florida professor in the departments of psychology, molecular pharmacology and physiology and director of the USF Neuroscience Collaborative. He is well known for research that looks at the effects of stress on brain, memory and synaptic plasticity. A primary research project over the past few decades has been the study of treatments for combat veterans and civilians with PTSD. Although his academic specialty is neuroscience, recently he has been closely examining the role of fat and cholesterol in heart disease. He began looking into lipids after test results showed his triglycerides were through the roof. He also launched a critical look into the effectiveness of statins, a class of drugs doctors frequently prescribe to help people lower cholesterol levels in their blood. Dr. Diamond’s findings contradicted the low-fat, high-carb diet that he, as well as many Americans, had been advised to follow. This led him to explore ways for people to optimize their diet for cardiovascular health. He eventually created a graduate and undergraduate seminar entitled, “Myths and Deception in Medical Research.” A lecture he gave at the university entitled “How Bad Science and Big Business Created the Obesity Epidemic” is now a YouTube video with nearly 200,000 views. The lecture focused on how “flawed and deceptive science demonized saturated fats and created the myth that a low-fat, plant-based diet is good for your health.” Dr. Diamond received his B.S. in biology from the University of California, Irvine in the 1980. He continued his post-graduate work at the university and earned a Ph.D. in biology with a specialization in behavioral neuroscience. From 1986 to 1997, Dr. Diamond was an assistant professor in the Department of Pharmacology in the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center in Denver. He then moved to University of South Florida and since 2003 has been a professor in the departments of psychology, molecular pharmacology and physiology. In addition to directing USF’s Neuroscience Collaborative, Dr. Diamond also is the director of the university’s Center for Preclinical and Clinical Research on Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. His research projects at the university have ranged from “The Effects of Stress on Brain, Memory and Synaptic Plasticity” to “The Cognitive and Neurobiological Perspectives on Why Parents Lose Awareness of Children in Cars.” Dr. Diamond has served on federal government study sections and committees evaluating research on the neurobiology of stress and memory and has more than 100 publications, reviews, and book chapters on the brain and memory. He is a fellow in the American Institute of Stress and in 2015 he received the award for Outstanding Contribution to Science from the Riga Diabetes and Obesity World Congress. In 2015, Diamond also received the University of South Florida International Travel Award.

Dr. Bush was studying to be an engineer when a time volunteering at the Philippines ignited his passion for medicine. Zach Bush completed pre-med training and his baccalaureate degree in Spanish at the University of Colorado, Boulder in 1997 and completed medical school in 2002 at the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center in Denver. Following medical school he and his family moved to Charlottesville, VA to complete internship and residency in Internal Medicine at the University of Virginia. In recognition of his clinical excellence and leadership, Dr Bush was selected to serve an additional year as Chief Resident in 2005-2006, which furthered his passion for teaching. During the course of his eight years of medical practice at UVA Dr Bush developed an increasingly skeptical view on pharmaceutical studies and their purported clinical outcomes, and realized that his patients were far more motivated to pursue real health and healing than the medical community was giving them credit for. Since 2009 Dr Bush and his colleagues at Revolution Health have been forging a comprehensive model for human health and healing.

Dianne was born and raised in Denver, Colorado. She holds a Master’s in Nursing from the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center, and worked as a Neonatal Intensive Care Nurse for fifteen years. Shortly after her daughter was born 14 weeks premature, she began working in mental health, helping families with premature infants deal with the traumatic effects of early birth. During her years of speaking to preemie parents and health care providers all over the United States, Dianne met countless individuals who told touching stories of strength, perseverance, kindness, and hope. These stories affected her so much that she wanted to capture and share them, firmly believing that the extraordinary stories of ordinary people would touch others too. Slowly, the idea for The Imagine Project grew far beyond capturing the tenacity of preemie parents to include the struggles and challenges of people from all walks of life.
