The Real El Milford

All of the whitepapers I’ve posted that point to why ultrasound has such a positive effect on Long Covid sufferers: ION CHANNELS AND NEUROMODULATION - Ultrasound modulates ion channel currents, Kubanek et al., 2016. Ultrasound effects on potassium and sodium channel currents. - Ultrasound activates mechanosensitive TRAAK K+ channels through the lipid membrane, Sorum et al., 2021. Direct mechanical activation of a potassium channel through the membrane. - Focused ultrasound excites cortical neurons via mechanosensitive calcium accumulation and ion channel amplification, Yoo et al., 2022. Calcium signaling and mechanosensitive channels in neurons. - The mechanosensitive ion channel Piezo1 contributes to ultrasound neuromodulation, Zhu et al., 2023. Piezo1’s contribution to ultrasound responses in mice. GLYMPHATIC CLEARANCE - Very Low-Intensity Ultrasound Facilitates Glymphatic Influx and Clearance via Modulation of the TRPV4-AQP4 Pathway, Wu et al., 2024. Animal research on brain-fluid transport and clearance. This is glymphatic clearance, not proof of whole-body lymphatic “detox.” VIRUS DISRUPTION AND INACTIVATION EXPERIMENTS - Ultrasound effectively destabilizes and disrupts the structural integrity of enveloped respiratory viruses, Veras et al., 2026. Laboratory experiments involving influenza and SARS-CoV-2. - Ultrasound treatment inhibits SARS-CoV-2 in vitro infectivity, Veras et al., 2022. Earlier preprint; not an independent human treatment trial. - Destruction/Inactivation of SARS-CoV-2 Virus Using Ultrasound Excitation: A Preliminary Study, Alhasawi, Alassaf and Hassan, 2026. Laboratory ultrasound exposure with a PCR endpoint—not a demonstration of clearing spike from patients. SPIKE AND VIRAL MECHANICS — MODELING - Effect of receptors on the resonant and transient harmonic vibrations of Coronavirus, Wierzbicki et al., 2021. Computational predictions about coronavirus vibration and structural failure. - Finite element modeling of α-helices and tropocollagen molecules referring to spike of SARS-CoV-2, Wierzbicki and Bai, 2022. Structural modeling, not a patient exposure study. - Inferring mechanical properties of the SARS-CoV-2 virus particle with nano-indentation tests and numerical simulations, Nonn et al., 2023. Particle mechanics measured and modeled. - Damaging SARS-CoV-2 Virus and Suppressing Replication by Ultrasound, Bai et al., 2025. SSRN preprint involving modeling; not peer-reviewed clinical evidence. COLLAGEN, TISSUE REMODELING AND BARRIERS - Acoustic modification of collagen hydrogels facilitates cellular remodeling, Norris, Dalecki and Hocking, 2019. Ultrasound modification of laboratory collagen gels. It does not establish reversal of mature fibrosis in Long COVID. - Morphological and Functional Effects of Ultrasound on Blood-Brain Barrier Transitory Opening: An In Vitro Study on Rat Brain Endothelial Cells, Branca et al., 2023. Cultured endothelial cells, not evidence that opening the blood-brain barrier is beneficial or safe for Long COVID. BLOOD FLOW AND MICROCIRCULATION - Comparison of the effects of 1MHz and 3MHz therapeutic ultrasound on endothelium-dependent vasodilation of humans: a randomised clinical trial, Hauck et al., 2019. Vascular responses in healthy volunteers. - Augmentation of Muscle Blood Flow by Ultrasound Cavitation Is Mediated by ATP and Purinergic Signaling, Belcik et al., 2017. Ultrasound with microbubbles, which differs from ordinary diagnostic scanning. - The use of diagnostic frequency continuous ultrasound to improve microcirculatory function after ischemia-reperfusion injury, Hightower and Intaglietta, 2007. Animal microcirculation research.
