  • A.S. ‘Narain’ Naidu

    A.S. ‘Narain’ Naidu PhD (Medicine), FACN, FLS

    A.S. ‘Narain’ Naidu, PhD (Medicine), FACN, FLS is a medical microbiologist/immunologist with 40+ years of scientific expertise in food safety, human metabolism, and nutritional healthcare. He is the Director-General of ‘Mission-COVID and heads the Global Nutrition Healthcare Council’.  Dr. Naidu’s pioneering research on epidemiology, pathophysiology, and genomics/metabolomics of the SARS CoV-2 pathogen is widely recognized. His ongoing work with a coalition of international scientists involves developing biomarkers and interventions to reset virus-inflicted iron (Fe)-redox dysregulation (FeRD), mitochondrial dysfunction (m-Dys), and chronic COVID-induced human metabolic reprogram/dysregulation (HMR/D) in long-COVID or PASC affected populations worldwide. He is developing precision biomarkers and interventions to combat long-COVID-associated ‘new onset’ metabolic syndromes, the emerging global health crisis.

    During the 1980s, Dr. Naidu’s discovery of staphylococcal non-menstrual toxic shock syndrome (TSS) and E. coli hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) have garnered him international recognition. He was the principal investigator for multiple national (US-NIH) and international research projects. He has published more than 100 peer-reviewed scientific publications and written over 30 book chapters. Dr. Naidu is a prolific author credited with 4 major reference volumes in medical sciences, which include: Lactoferrin, Natural Food Antimicrobial Systems, Bio-replenishment for Bone Health, and REDOX Life.

    Dr. Naidu is an inventor of 24 US core patents and many other patent applications pending. His innovative health technologies reach more than 40 countries across 6 continents. Dr. Naidu is an elected fellow of the Royal Society for Medicine (RSM), the Linnean Society of London, the American College of Nutrition (ACN), and the International Society for the Study of Vulvovaginal Disease (ISSVD). He is also an active member of 16 biomedical / nutrition-related professional societies.

    Dr. Naidu earned his doctorate in medical microbiology from Osmania University in India and completed his post-doctoral research in immunology/biochemistry at the Medical University of Pécs in Hungary and the Biomedical Center in Uppsala, Sweden. He worked for the Directorate of Public  Health Services (DPHS), the Government of India, and the World Health Organization (WHO). He was appointed a Professor at the Malmö General Hospital-Sweden and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, USA. He served as the Director of the Center for Antimicrobial Research at the California State University-Pomona, USA. He is the founding Director of N-terminus Research Laboratories, a division of en-N-tech, a California-based biotechnology corporation. Besides being an internationally renowned scientist/author/public speaker in medicine and nutritional health, Dr. Naidu is also an accomplished music composer, an avid cinematographer, and a dynamic filmmaker.

    Objectives:  

    1. Viral Hijack of Neuropilin 1 (NRP1) Receptor in Brainstem: Neuropilin 1 (NRP1) located in the brainstem is the prominent receptor that SARS-CoV-2 hijacks for its host cell binding, invasion & initiation of viral infection cycle. The brainstem is a bundle of nerve tissue at the base of the brain that connects cerebrum and cerebellum to the spinal cord. Transmission of nerve signals from brain to other parts of the body is achieved through the brainstem. Brainstem also regulates several vital physiological functions such as heart rate, breathing, and blood pressure.

    2. Brain Fog – an Adverse Interplay between Brainstem, Cervical Vertebra, and HMR/D: Vertebra C1, the Atlas, is first bone in the cervical (neck) region, closest to the brainstem. The functional health of the brainstem depends on optimum flow of blood and cerebrospinal fluid. Any misalignment of the atlas (C1) due to viral-induced HMR/D could dysregulate flow/function of these vital fluids and trigger chronic neuro-cognitive challenges, especially ‘brain fog’, a severe debilitating condition widely prevalent among long-COVID patients.

    3. Upper Cervical Adjustment – an Effective Chiropractic Protocol to alleviate Brain Fog: Often an overlooked cause of impaired brain function due to brain fog is the upper cervical misalignment. The upper cervical adjustment has been a historical protocol in Chiropractic care for over a century to relieve brain fog symptoms. For decades, upper cervical chiropractors have been trained to detect and correct misalignments and reset brainstem for normal activity. Such holistic multi-facet chiropractic approach could also eliminate back pain, restore energy levels, improve anti-inflammatory fluid flow, reduce stress, and normalize bodily functions.

    4. Precision Chiropractic–The New Paradigm Shift: Vertebral (Cervical) Adjustment combined with Metabolic Reset of viral-induced HMR/D could serve as an effective intervention protocol for Chiropractic Care to manage Sub-C

     

    Description:   Several SARS-CoV-2 infected individuals display sensory impairments including loss of taste (ageusia), loss of smell (anosmia), and loss of pain sensation, as early clinical manifestations (instead of respiratory symptoms) during the disease onset. Several studies established that ‘Neuro-COVID’ is a distinct viral pathobiology compared to the regular onset of COVID with pulmonary/respiratory involvement. Global clinical data firmly established that SARS-CoV-2 infection targets brainstem, induces hyper-inflammation, leading to severe debilitating neuro-cognitive impairments that may last for months (even years) in COVID-19 survivors (those RT-PCR negative for the virus). Several Global Pandemic Surveillances reported that nearly 500 million individuals are suffering from long-COVID, a viral-induced human metabolic reprogramming/ dysregulation (HMR/D). Notably, about 30% of such affected population exhibit a plethora of neuro-cognitive impairments. ‘Brain Fog’ with characteristic poor memory, difficulty in thinking, mental clarity or concentration, stands out as a major persistent manifestation among long-COVID patients. Viral-induced HMR/D with altered glucose metabolism (the ‘Warburg Effect’), dysregulated tryptophan/kynurenine pathways (with mitochondrial dysfunction, mDys), augmented with hyper-inflammation and oxidative stress could trigger the clinical onset of brain fog. Other neuro-cognitive complications, such as chronic pain, migraine and myalgic encephalomyelitis-chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) are also widely reported in such patient population. As nerve cells or astrocytes do not readily regenerate after a severe viral-induced HMR/D, any brainstem dysfunction could ultimately lead to severe lingering health complications among long-COVID patients.

    Objectives:   Precision Chiropractic protocol(s) based on HMR/D markers to assign long-COVID patients to Category-2 (Neuro-Cognitive) and Category-3 (Skeleto-Muscular) groups.
    • Focus on Chiropractic Upper cervical (neck) adjustment and/or specific Spinal realignment protocols to support the above-cited viral-induced HMR/D (Long-COVID) categorized groups.
    • ‘Precision Nutrition’ regimen with ‘Metabolic Reset’ for viral-induced HMR/D, with gender-based (AQUA-Redox) & system/category-based (Omega-Redox) protocols,
    • Use HMR/D-based metabolic markers as detection assay tools to evaluate patient recovery outcomes from the cumulative Chiropractic Adjustment + Metabolic Reset.

    Description:   This CE program explores the role of chiropractic care to manage and reset Viral-Induced Human Metabolic Reprogram/Dysregulation (HMR/D), with an emphasis on post-acute sequelae of COVID (PASC or Long-COVID) conditions leading to neuro-cognitive and skeleto-muscular impairments. With around 500 million people globally suffering from long-COVID, there is a dire necessity for chiropractors to educate, train and adapt to these emerging health challenges, integrating precision chiropractic care with system-targeted evidence-based bioactive nutrition and integrative healthcare protocols to reset viral-induced HMR/D.
