That’s a good one that requires two different types of answers. I’ll cover it tomorrow and I’ll post the video. I’ll probably make a separate post to address the question but it’s a good question.

I think intracellular parasites but you know better than me, also what are the protocols for intracellular parasites?.

Thanks for your explanation, i was thinking also about zoonotic diseases and intracellular chlamydia.

"Zoonotic diseases" is a huge category that includes viruses, bacteria, fungi, and parasites such as worms/helminths; as such, it is a massive topic. Intracellular chlamydia is a more manageable topic and one that I can review/update per the information in Inflammation Mastery, page 918-919 which includes my own laboratory results and treatment with antibiotics. It is also discussed in various other areas such as pages 398, 441 which can be found also via digital search if you have the digital version.

You displayed a page from recent Selenium presentation on symptoms of viral illness and anterior thigh pain was shown with other symptoms. Please explain the significance of anterior thigh pain and viral disease. Thank you. Jeffrey I. Friedman DC

I don’t recall that detail exactly so if you could point it out — from which source – that would be great. We could always speculate on a form of femoral neuropathy but right now that would just be speculation. One review stated “Skeletal muscle disorders manifested by muscle pain, fatigue, proximal weakness, and serum creatine kinase (CK) elevation have been reported in patients with selenium deficiency.”

I cannot recall any further details. You were talking about a book on viruses that you may have written and you showed that page quickly. Sorry.

Not sure. Possibly a mix-up of images for example in Inflammation Mastery I talk about fibromyalgia and then in another section I talk about viral illness so possibly a collage from that book. But overall, I typically don't connect selenium or viruses with thigh pain. Of course we can imagine some connections such as obesity predisposing to viral illness + femoral neuropathy, etc.
