 Using the example of viruses, like Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), many patients worry that if they test positive for this virus they are not healthy. The reality is that everybody carries certain viruses in his or her body. It is actually unusual not to have viruses in our bodies. In many cases, herbal medicine will gradually support the immune system and both control a virus such as EBV and prevent it from doing further harm.
There is a wonderful Chinese saying: "Pure water has no fish." The concept is that no living things are pure and sterile environments do not sustain life. |

 All you hear around here is how terrible Indonesia is for "not sharing" their virus samples. But that's just corporate spin. The truth is that Indonesia is trying to protect its own citizens by not surrendering the intellectual property of its virus samples to monopolistic U.S. and U.K. drug companies who have a well established history of stealing plants, herbs, genes and seeds from poor nations, then using western applications of intellectual property law to screw them over yet again. |

| The Rotavirus, Norwalk virus, Cytomegalovirus (CMV), and Sapovirus, among others, can cause gastroenteritis. Viral gastroenteritis (characterized by watery diarrhea) is common worldwide and is easily transmitted by sharing drinks, food, eating utensils, or even toys, bottles, and pacifiers in the case of young children. You can also become ill by eating or drinking a product previously contaminated by a virus.
Food can become contaminated as a result of unsanitary practices (e.g. |

 HPV on a repeated basis. The virus isn't the disease: It's the terrain of the person carrying the virus! If they're unhealthy and vulnerable, then of course they're not going to be able to keep the virus in check.
We don't live in a sterile world, after all. There are more bacteria cells in your body right now than human cells, and we're surrounded by viruses, fungi and other germs. The whole idea of vaccinating against one particular strain that might someday, possibly, perhaps cause a problem if you have sex is just medical nonsense.
But vaccinating young boys is an even dumber idea. |

| It's interesting that western nations claim Indonesia must "share" its virus samples, and yet when it comes down to the products manufactured from those samples, drug companies certainly aren't interested in "sharing" their profits or patents with anyone. You see, when capitalist corporations were in Kindergarten, nobody taught them how to share. |
| It's all about getting a country to give away its virus samples so that western corporations can exploit them for increased profits.
Indonesia, of course, isn't a stupid nation. Its leaders have figured out that there's no benefit in giving up these H5N1 bird flu influenza samples. In fact, doing so actually works against them, because it puts them in a position of having to beg for vaccines from the world's richest nations during any future global pandemic. And guess what? |

Indonesia, in fact, is doing the only rational thing it can: Keep the samples a secret, and avoid allowing the WHO and greedy drug companies to get their hands on them. |

 Infectivity of Hormonal Milk
The stressing effect in cows of synthetic hormones and somatomedins may induce immunosuppression and activate latent viruses, such as bovine leukosis virus (BLV) and bovine immunodeficiency virus (BIV), which may well increase susceptibility to other infectious agents; levels of such viruses in hormonally treated milk and their human infectivity should be investigated with particular reference to risks of immuno-suppression and leukemia. The relationship between these viruses and the AIDS (acquired immune deficiency syndrome) complex is of further concern. |

 What if that terrorist were able to replicate that virus, obtain the names and addresses of organizations all around the world, and distribute it across the world? What if that became headline news, and everybody found out about it? You would think that law enforcement officials might be interested, right? You'd think that somebody would investigate how this deadly strain of influenza got shipped to all of these organizations around the world...
In reality, that's not what would happen at all. Such a hypothetical event actually occurred, except it wasn't a terrorist. |
| Even then, shouldn't somebody be held responsible for distributing this deadly virus? You could be charged with federal crimes if you were caught with this kind of material. If you sent it out to somebody, who knows how many years you'd do in prison for a stunt like that. In this country, we've been arresting people for putting white powder in envelopes and sending them to Congressmen, claiming it was anthrax. Anthrax doesn't even approach the kill rate of something like H2N2. And as far as I can see, nobody's really being held responsible for this.
This is not a minor issue. |

 Then they flee the hospitals, often taking the virus with them (because they've been infected). They flee into the forest. This is actually, from a bigger-picture point of view, a good strategy to protect human life. When they're off in isolation, those infected people cannot infect other hospital staff or other patients.
Even in modern times, infectious diseases spread rapidly in hospitals. In modern, Western hospitals, you see MRSA (superbugs) that are resistant to every known antibiotic. |

| Sooner or later, nature is going to find a way to make that virus replicate in the wild. We'll only have ourselves to blame.
Vaccines: a channel for spreading infectious disease?
This kind of behavior is a good demonstration of why I don't trust companies that are replicating and distributing these dangerous infectious agents. This is why I don't trust vaccine companies at all. I never get vaccinated, and I don't recommend vaccination for anybody. I think the science behind vaccinations is bad. The mercury content of vaccines is toxic. |
| I don't mean to minimize the whole international situation, but if one virus like this gets out and the right person contracts it, you'd have a pandemic on your hands. You'd have an outbreak. And you can't fight a pandemic with bullets.
It wasn't too long ago that President Bush signed an order giving the government the right to quarantine air travelers who may be infected with things like the bird flu, or any other infectious disease. |

 A healthy liver and immune system are perfectly able to destroy viral material, regardless of whether the virus has been picked up from the external environment or has entered the bloodstream in some other way. The majority of all people exposed to these viruses never fall ill. In fact, we all have most viruses that exist outside the body in our body right now. However, when large amounts of gallstones are present, the liver becomes congested and toxic, which turns it into a conducive environment for viral activity. |

| Don't be a chronically diseased person when this virus comes around. If you already suffer from asthma, diabetes, cancer or heart disease, then you're going to be even more susceptible to this. Being healthy will give you the best chance of surviving; you can be among the four out of five who make it through this potential pandemic.
Again, if none of this happens, then it's good for us all. We're all safer, we're all better off and you walk away a much healthier person anyway. Isn't that really what we want to be -- healthy and safe? Doing that is relatively straightforward, but it isn't easy. |

 The adeno-associated virus vector is a defective, helper-dependent virus and the wild type is nonpathogenic in humans and other species. Following a single administration of a recombinant adeno-associated virus vector expressing (3-galactosidase, all rats treated with this vector (n = 4) were positive for lacZ mRNA in the proximal intestine within 3 days. There was no lactase mRNA in the rats treated with the control vector. On day 7, following vector administration, the rats were challenged with a lactose solution. The treated rats had a rise in blood glucose from 114 ? to 130 ? |

| It will become more of a pandemic threat because the virus will easily slip out of the country -- out of China, Korea, and Thailand or wherever it happens to be at the moment. It will slip out, infect some tourists or business travelers, get onto airplanes and into airports and then move very rapidly from one country to another.
A few years ago, we saw the beginnings of this with SARS. Thankfully, SARS was controlled, but it was by no means a sure thing. SARS almost got completely out of control; it almost became the next global pandemic. |

| So even if this virus were in the wild right now, you couldn't count on the mainstream media to tell you the truth about it. Washington would be, "balancing truth with public safety," as they say. Or, perhaps, balancing truth with corporate profits.
Don't trust any "official" news on infectious disease. The official news is shaped to minimize panic and control the public, not to impart accurate information to individual citizens. And I'm willing to be we'll never get the true story about this global release of H2N2 by a lab that can only says, "Oops."
We got lucky this time. |

 In the precancerous state, the virus causes the cells to divide at a level that is too high for the good of the body; but that cellular reproduction is good for the virus because it can replicate along with the cells, with little exposure to immune surveillance. The cells are now working for the virus rather than the body, generating a subcommunity with allegiances that conflict with the interests of the larger community [of the body]. The papillomaviruses are difficult to root out because these cells, being the body's own cells, provide the cover of an upstanding citizen. |
| This doesn't happen in all cases, however In some women who are infected, the virus is unable to get a sufficiently strong foothold to move into the deadly phase of its mission. 'The goal of the papillomavirus is not to create cancer, but to alter allegiances,' says Ewald. 'In the precancerous state, the virus causes the cells to divide at a level that is too high for the good of the body; but that cellular reproduction is good for the virus because it can replicate along with the cells, with little exposure to immune surveillance. |

 A tingling sensation signifies that the virus is about to be expressed; this sensation can be used to predict upcoming periods of infectivity.
Herpes simplex is treated with acyclovir (Zovirax). Other drugs with the -cyclovir ending are used for similar purposes. Acyclovir is phosphory-lated (a phosphate group is added to the molecule) by the viral enzyme thymidine kinase and then incorporated into the DNA chain of the herpes virus, where it blocks DNA synthesis and therefore replication of the virus. |

| You can also become ill by eating or drinking a product previously contaminated by a virus.
Food can become contaminated as a result of unsanitary practices (e.g. handling of food products without first washing hands) or from shellfish contaminated with viruses through contact with untreated sewage. Water systems affected by sewage can also pollute public drinking water and, in this manner, viruses can be transmitted to people.
