Novel anti-viral strategies against bioterrorist agents - Quantum Medicine Update

Townsend Letter for Doctors and Patients,  Feb-March, 2002  by Paul Jr. Yanick

Terrorists have been experimenting with engineered viruses that will not respond to medical treatment or vaccinations. Daunting technical obstacles stand in the way of utilizing alternative methods to enhance the immune system against bioterrorist agents.

New insights gleaned from the human genome and from anti-viral research conducted by the pharmaceutical industry have been nothing short of breathtaking. Despite these advances, drug researchers admit to one serious flaw in the clinical potential of their findings: viruses develop drug resistance or insensitivity to treatment and can mutate at lightning speed so that drugs quickly fail to provide effective long-term treatment and immune protection. (1-6)

To combat novel viral strains, we must understand thoroughly the mechanisms that viruses use to gain entrance to target sites in the body as well as the strategies that the host uses to prevent them from doing so. Clearly advanced anti-viral research of pharmaceutical companies may provide additional clues into how to target anti-infective agents at viral infections on multiple levels, instead of aiming treatment at a single phase of viral activity.

Innovative immunomodulation and re-modulation with host defense potentiators and immune potentiators have been presented by the author to augment the body's army of immune cells that identify, tag, poison, blast, and consume microbes that invade the body's biological terrain. However, when these anti-viral approaches are employed, it is necessary for the clinician to understand the extraordinary complexity of the immune system at the quantum level as it stores information, and establishes communication with the entire organism faster than the speed of light. Ideally, anti-viral strategies should be designed to enhance the immune system's ability to patrol, enforce, and attack invading microbes with greater efficiency or operational complexity by re-establishing quantum coherence.

The International Institute of Biophysics, composed of 15 groups of scientists from university research centers around the world, defines "quantum coherence" as the highest level of order or organization within the human organism. According to their research, healthy individuals have exquisite coherence at the quantum level while sick individuals with weak immune systems or cancer have chaotic, poor coherence with disturbed biophoton cellular biocommunicatiOn.

Understanding New and Powerful Virus-fighting Strategies

Designing anti-viral strategies is not extremely difficult because all viruses use similar strategies to identify and lock onto their particular prey, replicate, and then exit the cell to infect other cells. Once a virus is able to attach to a receptor on the cell membrane, it can penetrate the cell. Because viruses take advantage of deficient cell membranes and/or oxidative stress to enter the cell, correcting phospholipid and essential fatty acid deficiencies while maintaining cellular redox potential is an important step in any immune enhancement program. Moreover, it is absolutely essential that the virally-infected patient completely eliminates trans fatty acids (margarines, processed cooking oils, and genetically-modified oils such as canola oil) because viruses thrive and seem to penetrate deeper into the lymphatic system channels when these fats are in the daily diet.

Once in the cytoplasm of the cell, the virus uncoats or discards its lipid or protein shell. Then, it effectively hijacks the cell's genetic material, makes a DNA copy of its own genome which it then inserts into the host cell's DNA. It's important to note that the cell-to-cell spread of the virus can be prevented or stalled by augmenting immune responses with appropriate combinations of host defense potentiators and immune potentiators. However, all phases of viral infection must be targeted for optimal results. The overwhelming majority of natural immune enhancement approaches fail to prevent the viral entry into the cell and the viral hijacking of the cell's unstable genes. They also fall to consider the critical role of quantum coherence in their approaches. Effective immunomodualtion therapies must be multidirectional and fully preserve all immune responses in order to subdue and conquer viral invaders and speed the organism's recovery from viral infection.

Because viruses use the same basic mechanisms for subjugating cells (this can vary slightly depending on the type of genome the virus possesses), they can crank out copies of viral DNA at incredible speeds in the nucleus of the cell. Whatever the type of genome, a virus, is capable of producing millions of new viral particles with the aid of the cell's raw material and machinery. While some viruses act only at their point of entry (adenoviruses, for example, invade the eye causing conjunctivitis), others move beyond their point of entry and spread through the lymphatic system, causing a generalized sub-clinical infection of many tissues of the body that later erupts into a full blown infection when stress overwhelms the body. Hence, effective anti-viral agents must be able to penetrate into the lymphatic system where lymph node and other immune centers of activity are allowed to function with greater operational complexity and strength.
